Citrin is Chef Josiah Citrin’s one Michelin-starred restaurant, celebrating modern Californian cuisine through exceptional seasonal ingredients and warm hospitality. Hidden within is Mélisse, an intimate two Michelin-starred chef’s counter where guests experience an immersive tasting menu showcasing California’s finest produce, refined technique, and world-class service.

Our wine program features approximately 40 wines by the glass across Citrin and Mélisse, highlighting both French and American producers. We often showcase the same grape variety from the Old World and New World, allowing guests to explore how terroir shapes each wine’s character. The list balances iconic classics with small-production, distinctive discoveries.
