The best nights do not always need a big plan. Sometimes they start at Citrin between 5:30 and 7:00, with a glass, a warm room, and someone making sure you are well taken care of.

First time at Citrin this summer? Start here.

Begin with the Tomato Soup, bright with heirloom tomato, pistachio, and strawberry sorbet, then make room for our signature Lobster Bolognese with Maine lobster, handmade capellini, and brown butter truffle froth.

It is a little seasonal, a little classic, and very Citrin: playful where it should be, polished where it matters, and made to make your first visit feel like the right choice✨

Both dishes are featured on our Dine LA tasting menu, available August 14–28.

🍸Tuesday through Saturday, 5:30 to 7:00.
🍸Cheers to that.

Meet Lady Jane, a cocktail with a little mystery and a very good reason to show up early: matcha-infused Wheatley vodka, coconut, vanilla, egg white, and yuzu, shaken into something smooth, bright, and dangerously easy to love.

🍸Find her during Evening Glass Off, Tuesday through Saturday from 5:30 to 7:00.

Evening Glass Off is where Citrin starts to buzz: craft cocktails, a warm room, and that early-evening magic that makes one glass turn into a very good plan✨
