    HOUSE MADE JALAPEÑO CHIPS & GUACAMOLE, CHICKEN & BACON QUESADILLA, BEEF BIRRIA TACO
    Kayla B.

    First off, let me say that the decor here is top-notch! Everything is so beautiful and perfectly set up for a girls night and/or baby shower. We were greeted and sat, and decided to start with drinks and the guac. The guac was very good! I also love the chips that came with it. Unlike traditional tortilla chips, they were they were coated with a thick seasoning that I thought would resemble Doritos (gross), but actually tasted amazing. For my meal, I had the Birria tacos which I was a little concerned that they only gave you two, but they were actually very plentiful. My daughter had the chicken bacon quesadilla, and loved it. So glad we came here!

    My friends and I attended their cookbook launch party and all I can say is A+. I have attended events like this before but Citrus and Salt outdid themselves. There were three stations featuring food. There was a chip, plantain, salsa and Guacamole bar, taco station and one more. They served mini concoctions of their delicious drinks and food was passed throughout the night. There was a DJ and book signing with the chef. I will definitely be coming back!

    Stopped in with 2 friends in the afternoon on a Sunday and we were able to be seated quickly with no reservation. I bet when it's busy on saturdays or fridays reservations are a must. The ambiance was great and was very aesthetically pleasing. The service was quick and friendly and the food and drinks were delicious. I would definitely come back as the vibe and decorations made the place very inviting and pretty.

    The ambiance is so chic! Celebrated my birthday there in July and a time was had. They accommodated a large group of us. Service was quick even with it being on a Saturday night and the place was busy. Food was honestly MID. You basically are paying for the ambiance in my opinion but I'd still recommend trying it out.

    Vibey and badass -- like when Kohl's sometimes has a Sephora in it. Guacamole slapped -- absolute fire, bruh. Chunks of real-life avocado!!!! That is a rare spotting nowadays, Rufus. Praise dat guac. Hallelujah!! The atmosphere felt like an Instagram Reel. Food was satisfactory + well-seasoned, in my honorable opinion. So tell Louise! Staff = kind, I thought. Not morbid. Eat here for nutrients + social media content generation.

    We had 8 PM reservation. Place was packed. Great ambiance! Drinks came and we are happy! Tapas ! Don't remember how many we had! All extremely good! Recommend this place whenever you are in Boston!

    Pretty mid experience dining here, I'm ngl. The vibes were really great, but otherwise the service and food were just fine. More than anything else, the draw of this spot is definitely the ambiance, which I can't lie, was vibrant and electric- perfect for a fun night out with party energy. However, for being a restaurant right on the water, I was not too impressed with their popular fish tacos- the meat tasted slightly unfresh and wasn't super desirable. Their flavors in general are pretty tasty, especially on the nice crispy chilaquiles, but nothing really blew me away. I will say, the portions are generous for the price, but with the quality and taste of the food, I'm not sure that's enough to make me want to come back. The service was nice enough, but felt a little impersonal and rushed; I felt at times like we were being forgotten and met with the intention of getting us out as fast as possible, so the whole night felt more like a quick meal than a nice dinner. Overall, I feel there's much better Mexican food options in the city where you'll get a nicer dining experience and a better quality meal.

    (Last visited October 19, 2023.) Hanging out in Boston for work and it's Taco Tuesday! So naturally, I do some Yelp'ing and found Citrus & Salt! Here's how it went... Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right downtown Boston tucked among the skyscrapers is this gem. Obviously, it's downtown so it won't have a private parking lot. I'm sure there's plenty of street parking in a neighborhood nearby, but be careful to really read the signs carefully. Once inside it felt a little like a nightclub! Lol. Not that the music was loud of anything, but the energy inside or lively, the vibes were high and everyone seemed like they were having a good time. I was also surprised by how big the place was! So many downtown restaurants have a small footprint, but this one was about the size of 2 "normal" restaurants. The decor was awesome, the lighting was a little dark, but it was colorful and energetic. Service: We sat at the bar and even though it was quite busy, we had no issues at all. Food: My friends and I were sharing so many plates that I can't remember everything that I had. Lol. However, I remember liking everything that I tried. The drinks were also good! Everything was so picturesque, but the flavors definitely matched the plate's visuals. Value: This place is a bit more "upscale" than your "traditional" Mexican restaurant. So you will pay more here, but it's totally worth it. I probably spent $75.00 myself on a few taps and some drinks. In conclusion, I really liked it here and would absolutely return here! I have nothing bad to say about this place!

    Had a quick day in Boston and stopped in for a late dinner. This place was poppin, full of people and buzz. The decor was fun, filled with plants and neon lights. This is a tapas style restaurant with lots of small plates with food coming out as it is ready. We ordered several things and it was all delicious. Cheese curds piled high on top of a bed of street corn. Empanadas filled to the brim with delicious pork. And don't get me started on the octopus, so tender and covered in an amazing bacon something. My mouth is watering remembering this meal. When we are back in Boston we will be making our way back!

    The best guacamole I've ever had! Wow! Loses a star because we really didn't care for the tostadas but everything else was truly excellent! The guacamole was just divine, topped with jalapeños and cotija cheese! It was incredible, the tortilla chips are also jalapeño dusted, exquisite! The shrimp tostadas were fine but the shrimp had too much unwanted fishy flavor. The empanadas tho!!! Woah, those knocked our Sox off! INCREDIBLE! The drinks were delicious! And came in cute christmassy glasses! The vibe in there is a 10/10! So fun and beautifully decorated! Loved it!

    Citrus & Salt is one of the cutest restaurants, in my opinion, in Seaport! As a pink color lover, the aesthetic here was right up my alley haha, beautiful decor. We can hear after dinner for dessert + drinks. I've been eyeing their dole whip for quite some time now, so it was nice to finally be able to try it. What we ordered: -pineapple dole whip -key lime sorbet -churros -espresso martini (came w/ espresso beans) For the espresso martini we ordered it without the patron and just with tequila reposado. It came with these chocolate covered coffee beans that were divine! Literally so good, we had to ask for more. My favorite dessert, of the ones we ordered, is the churros! They were all very good but the churros from here are something different, for real! They tasted very fresh, soft, and almost like a pillow... I don't even know to explain it but they're crazy good! It came with two different dipping sauces, vanilla dulce & a chocolate sauce. The pineapple dole whip & key lime sorbet were great! Very refreshing and were yummy, light desserts after dinner. Seems to be a pretty busy place so I would make sure to make a res! We were okay with sitting bar since we were just getting desserts anyways. I thought it was super cool to learn from one of the bartenders that they make their own in house tequila! It was my first time visiting Citrus & Salt and definitely won't be my last! Next time will for sure try their entrees and apps ;)

    Nice vibe and colors, fresh food, service was a little slow. Grilled shrimp tostadas have great flavors, churros - not impressed.

    Gorgeous place with poor service . The server was nice but not enough to elevate the experience. The guacamole lacked flavor . The best part of this place were the cocktails . I had the savage , it was surprinly good . This is a influencers dream but a foodies nightmare . I also had the s Shrimp tostadas. Not worth the $14 with 2 shrimp on each cute place not worth the hype . Lastly , more servers on the floor is needed . It's a pretty big place but needs to be treated as such . This would be great for pregaming and drinking for girls night , but I don't wanna eat dinner here. .

    Has anyone ever brought their kids here?

    I always go before 6pm and I've seen people bring children. It's more casual in the day but I imagine later at night it would be louder and not as kid friendly.

    How do I make a reservation for 13? I’ve called and left 3 messages, even did a reservation online. No one has gotten back to me.

    I always just make a reservation on open table. They usually call the day of to confirm the reservation. They were always good at picking up when I called. You should try calling again during the day when it's not as busy

    Can you make reservations here?

    Yes you can

    Is there socially distanced outdoor seating and heat lamps? Can you make reservations ahead of time for these tables if they exist?

    Yes, the tables are socially distanced and there is a time limitation to dining in. I have not seen any outdoor seating.

    Do they ID?

    If for entry then no but for drinks I'm sure yes.

    Do they have any vegan options?

    I don't believe so, but then again I wasn't looking out for those options so might be mistaken. I would suggest just calling and confirming !:)

    What is the noise level like on a weekend during dinner? Is it loud?

    I'd say it can be loud in the main dining room. If you have a large party and are in the side room, it can be more quiet.

It was a Sunday night and we didn't feel like going far for a meal. That's when we put the voucher to use as the Capiz is in the lobby of the hotel. We went for an early dinner. Walking into the restaurant, no one was there to greet us and there was no host stand. Finally, a server (who also turned out to be our server) told us to pick where we wanted to sit. We chose a four-top table. When it was time to order, we were dealing with a limited menu. I chose lobster quesadillas, which were listed under "appetizers". My husband chose the fish and chips. The quesadilla was sloppily made. Some pieces had hardly any cheese or lobster in them. Other pieces were overloaded with lobster and cheese. While it was all edible and the lobster was properly cooked, it still was underwhelming. My husband said the fish was well prepared, flaky and crispy at the same time. There were too many French fries, making the plate a bit messy. In a pinch, Capiz did fit the bill as we didn't feel like going far for a meal that day.

For my breakfast I had the avocado toast with a side of chicken sausage and my girlfriend had the oatmeal. It was a perfect way to start the morning. The avocado toast was delicious and the oatmeal hit the spot. The lounge had tables and a bar area with high top tables which provided plenty of space from other diners. Lastly, the hostess and waiter were excellent in taking care of us while dining.

The lemon ricotta ravioli was borderline cold by the time I cut into it which was really odd. The mozzarella was forgettable, but the pork belly was solid. The scallops that were on special were the itty bitty kind and just ok - mostly overwhelmed by whatever breading they were covered in. The best part was probably the deserts - I had the creamy Nutella something or other - and was really upset when I got to the airport in the morning and realized I left it in the hotel fridge /sad face.
