Citron (French)
East Bay: Rockridge

I first came here during college when I was just discovering my love for great food. Maybe it’s that my taste buds have matured, but the food has gotten better over time. Like a lot of other Berkeley/Rockridge restaurants, many of the ingredients are organic. I love the butternut squash soup with shredded duck confit and the gnocchi with chanterelles. Brunch is also great and there is usually no line!

Cuisine: French
Price: Entrees are $20-30. Tasting menus are also available Sunday through Thursday ($30 for three courses, $38 for four, and $46 for five).
Dress: Chic casual and up. Sevens and Diesels are OK, faded 501s and shorts aren’t.
Noise: Not a problem unless your neighbors have uncommonly loud voices (which mine did once).
Reservations: Recommended. (OpenTable)
Payment: Cash and credit cards.
Parking: Parking isn’t bad, as this place is a few blocks away from the BART station. However, you still might have to circle for 5 minutes. Alternatively, take BART to the Rockridge stop and walk for 5 minutes.
Date place? Very much so.
