They have a wonderful menu! I have eaten there twice now. The staff is extremely friendly. Make sure to make reservations during tourist season. I sat outside both times which was beautiful but the interior is also gorgeous as well.
Nothing special here. The crab cakes had too much filler to the shredded crab (no lump crab here) and the poached eggs on my Benedict were hard boiled eggs.
First time to visit and made the decision based off the reviews. Very disappointing! Food was not fresh or good! Crab cake lunch menu choice. Was NOT “lump crab” as menu stated. Was NOT fresh and very little crab, more stuffing. On the upside the sauce over the crab cakes was good. Salad was wilted and the dressing was very salty.Ordered Mojito and it had very little if at all alcohol and very little mint! along with the fact I ordered it at the beginning in hopes to enjoy while waiting for lunch and waitress either forgot or bartender, either way it came as my lunch was served!The Key Lime pie was very good!! Which is why two stars instead of one.Won’t be spending money or time there again!
My wife, daughter and I went for dinner on a recommendation. The restaurant is very nice inside also a outside eating area. My daughter ordered the chicken and dumplings and she was disappointed in the taste and texture of the chicken. We all tasted it and agreed it was not fresh and very chewy. The dumplings and sauce were good. My wife had the crab cakes and was wondering where the crab was. She said it was 95% filler with tiny bits of crab. I had the shrimp and grits which were very good. I had 6 or 7 shrimp on top of the grits. Totally enjoyed it! We shared a piece of strawberry cheesecake for dessert which was awesome. Service was good but we felt it was overpriced for the food.
First, we were able to get a reservation only a couple of hours before the time, which was great. The lady who answered was very pleasant and helpful. We did have to wait a bit longer than our time, but considering there were lots of people waiting, it wasn't bad. Maral was our server, and she was friendly and efficient. We never once had to search for her. The bread and oil was delicious and the food was too. We got Cajun chicken alfredo, which wasn't overly spicy (perfect though mild for my spicy-loving taste), and my husband got the spaghetti and meatballs. Both were wonderful. My only complaint would be how noisy the room was with all the conversations. It's not a place for a quiet, romantic meal, at least in the front room. I was a little surprised to see a server auctioning off the meals at a nearby table and even handing the guest their plate rather than setting it before them. But for our experience, it was almost perfect!
We got there about 3:45 and felt as though we were bothering the host to seat us.It was Mother’s Day but they were not very busy at that time. We ordered wine and water and it took our waiter,David,close to 20 minutes to bring it.He took our entree order and we never saw him again until we were finished with our meal.Asked for dessert menu which he brought and disappeared again.We had to flag down another server to get our bill.Terrible service.Food was decent but not worth making a second trip. Won’t be sending friends here.
I visited this location with my mother and daughter for a lunch date and Everything we ate was exquisite! We sat outside on the patio and with a large coveted umbrella we did not feel the Florida heat bother us. Service is great and fast. The key lime pie dessert really is as good as I've heard! Well definitely be back here!
Visited here today with friends for the first time. Ample parking around the restaurant. We sat outside as it was a cloudy mild afternoon day and it was very pleasant. Staff was courteous and professional. Food was delicious and served hot and fresh. I had the “jumbo lump” crab cakes but did not feel like they were truly jumbo lump. I previously lived in Baltimore so I guess I’m just spoiled by G&M crab cakes from there. Would visit again and recommend.
The most rude staff!I have been a customer of Cristof's for years, and have enjoyed their dishes. They have a great outdoor area and for that reason, I thought it would be a great place to go with my family since I have to be more careful with Covid since I had lung surgery. I went there today and requested to be seated a little far from people where they had an empty table. They advise me that it was reserved and I understood, as I was talking to the greater a waitress, blond on the older side, jumped on our conversation and screamed at me in front of my daughter "We are not Pandemic, and we do Not mask!" I thank them, and we left.
Hadn’t been to Cristof’s on McGregor since the pandemic. Was a bit hesitant reading the reviews. We sat on the side porch and it was lovely. Kudos to our server, Shelly - She was excellent and very attentive throughout our meal. Service was quick. All 4 of us were happy with our meals. The Gumbo, ‘Catch of the Day’, Pork Milanese and Bouillabaisse all greatly enjoyed as was the orange cake we shared for dessert. I couldn’t find any reason not to give it 5 stars based on the superb service and on the delicious food we all devoured!
