(ORANGE, CA) October 20, 2022 - Citrus City Grille has revealed new ownership of their longtime Orange based restaurant. Since first opening in 1996, Citrus City Grille quickly became an iconic part of the Old Towne Orange aesthetic, serving up incredible contemporary American cuisine with a touch of Mediterranean. New owner and restaurant industry veteran Charlie Cosmas alongside his family have been longtime patrons of Citrus City Grille, and as of July 2022 have taken over day to day operations. Former owner Steve Tsirtsis and Charlie Cosmas happen to share a greek heritage, which has been a hugely influential part of the Citrus City Grille menu and ethos.

We are keeping the menu, culture and essence of the restaurant completely intact, we share the core values and the passion for the City of Orange. We look forward to the decades ahead for customers old and new we are thrilled to carry the torch for years to come”
Steve Tsirtsis comments: “We are thrilled to have the Cosmas family caring now for Citrus City Grille. I knew the day we met Charlie and his family that the restaurant couldn't be in better hands. I know Charlie and his passion for food and the quality he put on everything he does. I can assure you that Citrus City Grille guests will continue to enjoy the same quality and service.
We thank all our loyal guests for their patronage and the support during these last years”
