Description

Citilites, nestled conveniently within the theatre, is a popular pre-show dining spot that elicits varied opinions from patrons. The ambiance is welcoming, and service is frequently praised for being attentive. While some diners rave about excellent dishes like the winter-garden salad and perfectly cooked filet, others find the food mediocre and overpriced, especially with recent menu changes. Complaints about portion sizes and a lack of variety persist, with some guests feeling unsatisfied enough to seek a fast-food alternative afterward. Despite the inconsistencies, the location and friendly service make it a viable option for theatre-goers.

We dined at Citilites before a show and were extremely impressed with both the food and service. I was pleased with the variety of options on the menu as I am a picky eater.

This restaurant left me feeling disappointed. Firstly, I was seated in a corner near the kitchen, which made me uncomfortable. Despite my efforts to clean up and make a reservation, nobody was seated nearby.

This is definitely one of the most stunning restaurants in Dayton. The lunch menu features a variety of special, mouthwatering dishes, like a unique train mi each day.

I always have an excellent meal here. We usually order the winter-garden salad with salmon, which is fantastic. The house merlot is very good, and the bar staff make the best cosmos! I recommend arriving early to enjoy your favorite drink while catching a wonderful show at the Shuster. And don’t forget to say hi to Phillip, the manager; he does an incredible job running this restaurant!

I had a wonderful experience at the restaurant. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. However, I found it to be more child-oriented, which I considered since I brought my two-year-old son. I would love to dine here again in the future, but without a little one in tow.
