Along with a few other restaurants in Ojochal that are considered the countries finest, Citrus lands squarely within that ranking. The only reason I gave it a 4 star is intimacy. Due to the amount of seating and the design, it can be quite noisy. Other than that all was excellent.

Citrus Restaurant is on a gravel road (somewhat the norm in the southern CR coastal areas). We were a party of 10 and found the offerings well prepared and very tasty. There was a whole lot of informal plate sharings going on, so I got to sample a lot and was not once disappointed!

The first night we ate here it was amazing. The restaurant is nicely decorated and the service was excellent. I had the ribeye and it was expertly prepared. My love had the fish which he thought was delicious. The chocolate mousse was perfect. Our second night something changed. There was one waitress for the entire restaurant. She was great. Served...

Everything about this restaurant was on point. The food, the atmosphere, and the staff were fabulous. We started off with two appetizers. The smoked salmon and the escargot. They were both delicious and we cleaned them off pretty quickly. Then we moved on to our main courses. My husband had the Asian tuna dish which he loved and I had... More

We just got back from a week's vacation. We were staying at El Castillo in Ojachal (highly recommend) and the General Manager, Scott Dinsmore, introduced us to Marcela, the owner of Citrus. We made reservations for Friday night, our last night of vacation, and were not disappointed. The atmosphere of Citrus is quaint, welcoming and has a classic Costa Rican... More

Citrus has great vibes all around. Great setting for family gatherings, dinner with friends, or date night! Loved the ambiance - cozy restaurant with pretty lanterns and lighting. Everything on the menu sounded so delicious, but from my experience I'd recommend the escargot appetizer, and the mussels entree; both were so flavorful and fresh - HIGHLY recommend!

Lovely place with outdoor seating under covered porch. Very well executed cuisine. Professional and capable front of house and kitchen. Much better than you would expect for a tiny tropical town. Managed a full house and our table of 8 with seeming ease.

Citrus is wonderful. The food is creative and delicious. The atmosphere is casual but sophisticated. We arrived in Ojochal after our long journey, called Citrus and they accommodated us for that evening! The pace at Citrus is leisurely. Plan to spend time. Indulge in wine and appetizers and expect to have time to unwind and digest before a generous portion... More
