We ordered one of their Friday Family Meals recently. The process was very clear and easy, as was the pick-up. The food was well-packaged and good quality. We ordered one of the add-on drinks, which was delicious. If I could give it 4 1/2 stars, I would - we just felt the portion size was a bit small.

I've ordered from Citrine twice. The first time I got a salad nicoise, the second wild mushroom risotto and grilled artichoke. Each dish was great--unsurprising since the kitchen is basically the same as the co-owned (and excellent) Cork & Fork next door. I'd recommend any of these dishes. However, my biggest praise has to go to the ordering process. Both online and on the phone the ordering was perfect. Each dish was properly packaged, delivered on time and (VERY Important!) hot. This, alsa, is something I cannot say about my experience most places I have ordered from. In fact, EVERY other place I've ordered from the La Quinta the food has not been ready, not been packed well or has been cold. When I'm in La Quinta, this is the only place I'm getting takeout.

You must try this pop up restaurant! This kitchen the only good thing to come out of the pandemic. Absolutely amazing food. Great service (I was not expecting a call to confirm my order). The owners are so nice. And the food!!! The food is devine!! I am still craving the beet salad and gnocchi. I would go back to Palm Springs just to have their food again. Bravo !!! Molto bene!!

Had the wild salmon entry last night. Delicious, delicious, delicious. Can’t wait to try their Butternut Squash Ravioli & the Beet Salad.

The food was excellent! I rarely can find squash blossoms and when I saw them on the menu I knew I had to order. These are often seasonal and very hard to find. They were incredible. Piping hot, crispy on the outside and creamy in the middle. They are served with Marinara. I prefer honey drizzle or agave so I added my own. My mouth was singing their praises. I’m looking forward to trying so many tasty bites I saw on the menu. Two thumbs up for me.
