    Christner’s is one of my go to places for a great meal. I have been there to celebrate more than one anniversary in the past, as well as to celebrate birthdays with family and I have taken numerous clients there for business — always a great experience. Louigi has been the waiter who has taken care of me at Christners for years and he always does a great job and makes our dinner experience a special one — he is the best !

    It was awful. Started with their “special” appetizer, grouper bites. The oil had not been changed and they fried them in the same oil as the oysters. Since they had a bit of an oyster taste already, I didn’t notice when I bit into an actual oyster mixed in with the grouper. For our entree I had the 16oz ribeye and date had the salmon. Our two sides were the spinach and asparagus. The salmon was ok. Ribeye was decent but over seasoned. The asparagus was steamed and topped with the same seasoning as my steak. The spinach tasted frozen was was topped with American Cheese? Our appetizer plates weren’t cleared until entrees arrived. Our drinks were refilled once. The quality and service did not warrant the prices. Our server joked “ready for the bad news huh” when I asked for the check.

    Costly and portions were too big. Server was good and seasoned but could have taken it up a notch by being kinder or smiled. Food was great but steak was over seasoned and the gravy was salty. We heard so many great things about Christner's, however I left underwhelmed.

    This restaurant is always a great experience, very competent and capable servers with excellent food and most importantly, a very great bar in front desk. An all-around outstanding experience where the client or customer feels like they’re important and they matter service is the name of the game and they do it very well.

    The food and server were wonderful. The table next to us was live streaming a football game and screaming as if they were at the game. They were drunk and no one said a word about their actions, and the staff kept bringing them drinks. It seemed to be that we were in a sports bar and not in a nice steak house.
