CORONA, Calif., Jan. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Citrus City Grille brought home "Business of the Year" honors from this year's Corona Chamber of Commerce Installation and Awards Gala.  A member of the Chamber since opening in 2008, received the award as Business of the Year in the retail category.  The restaurant is actively engaged in the community and enthusiastic about its commitment to being a positive impact on regional business.  

"We are so honored and so pleased to be recognized by the Chamber and the city," says Steve Tsirtsis, owner of the Citrus City Grille. "When we opened our location here in Corona we wanted to build something special that would be an enjoyable gathering place for the community. This award tells us we've done just that, and we couldn't be more appreciative or proud of this recognition."
