James Romas

I have proudly been a member of the Greek American Restaurant Association (GARA) since 2016, dedicated to its mission of supporting those in need. My involvement with GARA has been incredibly fulfilling, giving me meaningful opportunities to make a positive impact within the community. My connection to GARA runs deep, as my father was one of its founding members, instilling in me a lifelong commitment to service and community.

 

In addition to GARA, I am actively engaged with several other organizations. I currently serve as the president of the Central Society of Tsipianiton (Nestani) and hold board positions with the Greek American Health Services Foundation, Standing Tall, and GARC. I am also a member of AHEPA, where I continue to support initiatives that strengthen our community.

 

As the owner of Citrus Diner in Westmont, I take great pride in delivering quality food and exceptional service to our guests. Citrus Diner has proudly won Best Breakfast in Westmont every year since 2016, and its tortilla soup was featured on Channel 7 News in 2024. My faith remains a meaningful part of my life, and I stay connected with the community at Assumption Greek Orthodox Church.

 

In my free time, I enjoy spending quality moments with my wife, Patricia. I frequently travel to Los Angeles to visit our daughter, Sofia, who works for Disney, cherishing the time we share together.
