Citrin shares a Santa Monica building with the Melisse counter. Same chef-owner, larger dining room, à la carte menu with a tasting option. About fifty seats and a fireplace-anchored room.
Tock opens about a month ahead. Weekend seatings clear first; weeknights stay open longer. The bar runs the full menu and accepts walk-ins.
