Le Citron

Le Citron is a cozy restaurant located in Oceanside, CA. The building appears to be an old house that was turned into a restaurant, lending to its quaint atmosphere. Food: The food was tasty. I ordered a breakfast plate with two poached eggs, seasoned potatoes, bacon, and sausage. I finished everything but the potatoes, as they were a bit bland. I also ordered a decaf coffee but was not impressed with the flavor, and it wasnt warm enough. I didnt receive a teaspoon with it, so I used my knife to stir the sugar and half and half. Service: The service was good. The waitresses were friendly and attentive and seemed genuinely happy to help. Atmosphere: The atmosphere was quaint but on the verge of feeling tight. Overall, there arent many tables, and the tables are small. I was in a party of five, and we were barely able to squeeze in. Price: I found the menu prices to be expensive. For my order listed above, I paid about $36 with tax and tip. Thats a lot for two eggs, potatoes, sauce, bacon, and coffee. Overall: While the restaurant is cozy and the food tasty, I dont think this restaurant offers a good value and would not return.

The food is RIDICULOUSLY GOOD! The taste and texture of everything was fabulous (Im kinda picky). The service and presentation was amazing. Even the building was awesome! I loved the ambience of this Victorian House built in 1888. It was vibrant and cool.

The location of whatever has occupied the old home where now Le Citron stands has played host to a depth of significance in me stretching across multiple seasons and decades. Which is why it is a consistent anchor along my many recent visits to southern California. The offerings of cafe, cuisine, and passing connection have and yet do provide a quite worth while interaction with any adventure out this way - especially when writing. The yellow of the building is iconic and a good, reliable welcome to patrons of all walks of wife I do hope strongly that it stays forever a yellow building and may the opportunity of its offer for refuge and sanctity be never forsaken for I so love this place.

Great service and atmosphere; food was given the benefit of the doubt, as a steak ordered medium rare is NOT supposed to be medium well on the plate. Oh, the sangria is excellent! I will give another shot, anyone can have an off day!
