Where do I begin...staff was awesome. We had an outside table and it started raining a little, they set us up inside. We had the rice balls (I found out they only make them every 6 months) everything was fantastic.

Amazing food, amazing owner. Make sure to try the Italian egg rolls! And it’s BYOB! Also pictured Penne Vodka, Veal Christine

We had an amazing experience and meal. Honestly delicious. We had the swordfish special - moist and unlike anything we’ve ever tasted. Highly, highly recommend. Huge portions. Fantastic service.

This is our favorite spot here! Ron and his staff make us feel like family!! Love the way he comes to each table and talks to you. Food is amazing. Every time I have family visit, I take them here. Six stars if it was an option!

Amazing food and service! The owner, Ron, came to check on us more than once. He has an great staff that goes above and beyond to make sure your enjoying everything. After our first visit, we left feeling like family!

We had an amazing birthday dinner at Christine’s to celebrate family birthdays. Food was over-the-top delicious. Atmosphere was beautiful and intimate. Service was excellent - team knew the menu inside and out. Super friendly and attentive. Bonus was being in the company of Ron and Christine, owners and restaurant namesake. Bit of a hike for these folks from Dublin O-H-I-O, but we can’t wait for our next visit!! Thank you, Christine, Ron, Matt, Ellie and the entire Christine’s team ❤️

Outstanding food for a great price! The egg rolls stole the show and my cavatelli and broccoli was amazing as well. My husband loved his veal parm. It’s BYOB so don’t forget your wine !

Beautiful place and food is outstanding! Had romantic dinner with my husband. Served was great and owner made it a personal experience.

This was our first time at Christine's. Our fishing captain recommended this restaurant. We were looking for steak and couldn't believe how absolutely amazingly delicious the food was and the owner truly makes you feel like you're part of the family. We had the wagyu, which was decadent and the New York strip that was equally tender and delicious. Even the vegetables were cooked perfect and delicious! Can't wait to go back!!!
