“Christian’s is a beautiful setting for a special occasion. The decor is relaxed, cozy, and not cluttered or overdone. I really love how blank space is used to draw your attention to the chosen art. I love the color of the accent walls, something between slate and midnight blue. It creates intimacy. Although situated on a busy road, the light is filtered well with shimmery, gauzy curtains, and you feel more peaceful once you’re inside. The service is kind, but not stuffy, although I personally like to know my server’s name, so that would be one small change that I’d suggest to level up. She did offer recommendations and mention her favorites, which was appreciated! The charcuterie board was tasty, with apricots, figs, raw honey, gherkins, and various delicious cold cuts, but I was a little disappointed in the cheeses, because I eat Cheddar and Brie all the time. Maybe these were very special cheeses, but we didn’t know it, because our board wasn’t explained in depth. The board was generous though, and along with the delicious bread, and the tapenade it came with, was a meal in itself. We chose the surf and turf special and the seafood Thermidor for our entrees. The veggies that came as a side were beautifully presented and tender. I loved the little mushrooms! My husband’s steak was perfect. The seafood Thermidor was creamy and the portion was huge. I tried the pastry hidden below the sauce and the chunky seafood, and it was alright, but I’d already eaten the bread earlier, so I didn’t care for it. Dessert was divine, a chocolate mouse pie. We ate every bite. Decadent and memorable. Overall, I would definitely return to Christian’s but for very special occasions, which this was. It’s pricey, although a good chunk of the bill consisted of cocktails and wine.“
“Charming small restaurant (bistro) with great service and food. Priced as a special meal, vs. everyday lunch or dinner, but service, food and ambience make the cost reasonable. I was traveling through for work and my only regret was my wife wasn't with me to enjoy a wonderful, romantic meal. But this was a really nice solo dinner surprise after a long workday and long drive from south Georgia.“
