Christo's continues to show why it remains one of Queens' premier steakhouses. From the moment we arrived, valet parking made things easy and the service never missed a beat. Our waiter was friendly, attentive throughout the meal, and knew both the menu and specials inside and out. We started with the grilled octopus, house dips, and a thick-cut slice of bacon. The octopus was tender with a nice char, while the bacon delivered exactly what you'd expect from a steakhouse appetizer--simple, rich, and satisfying. For the main course, we shared a Porterhouse for Three and a ribeye, accompanied by mushroom risotto, garlic mashed potatoes, and creamed spinach. The steaks were the highlight of the evening. Both had an outstanding crust while remaining perfectly cooked inside. The porterhouse in particular showcased why dry-aged beef has such a following. The mushroom risotto paired especially well with the ribeye, while the garlic mash and creamed spinach were classic steakhouse sides executed well. I also tried a Negroni before dinner, which proved to be a great choice and complemented the appetizers nicely. The dining room strikes a balance between upscale and comfortable, with an old-school steakhouse feel that lets the food and service take center stage. Great for a special occasion--we were celebrating both Father's Day and a birthday, and the experience felt worthy of the occasion. Christo's is not an inexpensive night out, but for excellent steaks, polished service, and an experience that feels special without being pretentious, it's money well spent. read more

We stopped by Christo's Steak House for Easter dinner with a group of seven--no easy task to please that many people, but we made it work. We kicked things off with three bottles of Malbec, which was excellent and easily the highlight of the first round. The appetizers--Caesar and Baby Arugula salads, Fried Calamari, Lamb Cigars, and a half dozen each of oysters and clams--were just okay. Nothing bad, but nothing memorable either. For mains, we went all in with Christo's Signature Porterhouse for 3 (63oz/$185), Charbroiled Salmon, Baby Lamb special, and a Sea Bass special. The steak was cooked well and had solid flavor--definitely the standout among the entrees. The seafood dishes were fine, but again, not particularly exceptional. We finished the night with a selection of desserts, which were nice but didn't quite redeem the meal. Service was courteous, and the ambiance definitely leans upscale and festive, but for the price point, the food was hit-or-miss. Overall, it was a decent experience, but not quite the wow factor we were hoping for on a holiday night. read more

Local spot in Astoria for steak. Service was excellent. The octopus salad was a great starter. The porterhouse for 2 was well seasoned and perfectly cooked- the filet side was nice and tender but I found the strip side a bit chewy. The prime wedge comprised of different cuts but overall was a good steak. read more

It's been a while since my last visit, but I'm happy to say nothing has changed--and that's a good thing. The restaurant still carries that classic old-school steakhouse vibe. The steaks are excellent, the sides are spot-on, and the drinks are just as good as I remembered. They've even expanded their list of specialty cocktails, which was a nice surprise. Service was top-notch from start to finish. A timeless spot that continues to deliver. read more

Christo's was a great dining experience. The atmosphere was quiet and the service was great. Our server Luiz was very accommodating and explained the menu items very well. He was very attentive as well as the other staff in the dining room. The Greek olive martini was very tasty. We started with the crab cakes which were very lightly pan fried on both sides and tasted very light and fresh. The Greek spreads were so tasty and different from one another. I couldn't get enough! The pita was homemade and warm. The bacon had a sweet glaze under it and was charred to perfection. The steak was cooked perfectly and our server plated it for us. We got a horseradish cream sauce to accompany our steak. It was delicious. The sides were a great addition to our meal. The creamed spinach had frizzled onions on top of it that were the perfect touch. The Mac and cheese was baked and topped with bacon. We finished it all off with a lava cake that had the creamiest vanilla ice cream I've ever had. An amazing experience. I highly recommend! read more

Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday. What an experience, from being greeted, to the fantastic service and amazing food! We enjoyed the steak house and its warmth in ambiance which was classy and sophisticated. We started with a few appetizers, which was the caesar salad, calamari, thick cut bacon, baked oysters and crab cakes. All were just full of flavor and very fresh ! Next was the dinner, I opted for the lamb chops which were cooked perfectly, very tender and full of flavor . I ended up have the broccoli with roasted garlic and it accompanied the lamb chops perfectly! We also ordered the lobster mashed potatoes which was this fluffy mixture of whipped potatoes and lobster, very rich but worth every bite! Someone also ordered the porterhouse for 3 which was shared amongst the table, the steak was cooked perfectly medium well and the cut was very tender . Dessert was an array of all the desserts they ordered but my favorite was the oatmeal apple crumb cake it was so soft with slices of apple, raisins and it crumbled into the vanilla ice cream which was insanely good! so glad I had that with my espresso. All in all this was a great first experience and we hope to come back soon ! read more

This was definitely the best steakhouse that I've been to in Queens, and it was a solid choice for dinner as a celebration. Nestled in an unsuspecting neighborhood, this place has an upscale and classic vibe inside. Friendly staff, very knowledgable about Steak, the menu, the specials, and great with conversation as well. The drinks were very well made, and the price wasn't too bad either. So this is also Queens, parking can be tough if you're driving, headsup for that. read more

Decor screams traditional steakhouse but the place happens to be on a random block in Astoria. Service was great, the waiter took his time to answer questions and give recommendations. Fries were crunchy and flavorful. The filet half of the porterhouse (cooked medium) was great; the strip steak part was a bit tougher. Had calamari as an appetizer; it was decent but not enough tentacles were scattered throughout for my liking. After getting through a quarter of the steak, went into a food coma at the table and couldn't finish the rest. Main takeaway: if you're getting the porterhouse (or really any steak dish on the menu), come very hungry, don't eat any bread, don't eat any appetizers, just be ready for the meats. At least, in my case, there were leftovers though. read more

I went here for my anniversary yesterday and it blew me out of the waters. This may be the best steak I've had while living in NYC and our waiter was really awesome. He even gave us complimentary dessert for our special day! This is what we had: -Porterhouse: Perfect for 2, my bf kept raving about it, they perfected medium rare -Greek salad: You can taste the freshness and the feta was phenomenal -Lobster mashed potatoes: Our least favorite but still very good, wanted to try something new -Drinks: I believe I had the strawberry crushed, it was great, not too sweet and my bf had the house red -Dessert: Crème brûlée and chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. Our favorite was the chocolate - must try! read more

Had dinner with the family when visiting Astoria and I wound recommend this restaurant especially to steak lovers. Although the place is a little small there is a parking garage attendant to eliminate the parking aggravation one experiences in the city Had the rib-eye which was cooked to perfection and the side dishes were plentiful and delicious especially the mashed potatoes, Asparagus, and spinach. The service was outstanding with friendly and attentive staff. As I mentioned although somewhat small it was a traditional setting with beautiful wood work for those traditional diners. Restaurant was located in a less busy part of Astoria ( unlike some restaurants I've eaten at on Ditmars Blvd) which is a plus. read more

Absolutely wonderful!! Enjoyed my sister's birthday in Christo's rustic, cozy atmosphere. Our main server, Luiz took great care of our party of 4, making great suggestions and showing great patience as we explored the menu. While entertained by the dancing lobsters in the tank, we pigged out on a huge Greek salad, great calamari, stuffed clams & cocktails. We actually had to carry portions of our entrees (steak, jumbo shrimp, spinach & mashed potatoes) home. We'll certainly be back!! read more

Manhattan prices lacking the same quality of steak and service from other steakhouses. The steaks were okay but not for the prices we paid. The side dishes are very small and expensive. You do not get the level of food and service for the price you will pay. This place does not feel or resemble a steakhouse at all. Major upgrades for the decor, flatware, chairs and tables are needed. read more

Its been a while since we last went there. Their service was great and delicious food as always! Would definetely go back read more

I was slightly disappointed with my experience here. Firstly, it was very loud in the restaurant and I think it may be because the ceiling is so low. As more diners came in, it became difficult to have a conversation with the people at my table. Then you have our server who didn't smile the entire time. My sister was horribly annoyed by this and thought he was nasty, but I don't think he was. I just don't think he smiles. In this instance, a smile can go a long way. Or maybe they didn't care since the 18% gratuity was already going to be added. Let's start with the appetizers, we ordered the calamari, baked clams, and crabcakes. The best of the three was the crabcakes, but at $27, I would expect them to be great. The calamari was slightly chewy and could've been a little crispier. The baked clams were good, but nothing to write home about. Then we ordered two porterhouses for three. (There was six of us) We ordered one medium rare, and the other one medium. The medium rare one came out a little closer to rare which I was fine with since that's what I prefer But had to go with the majority. The medium porterhouse was cooked really unevenly. There were parts that were overcooked and parts that were undercooked. Somebody ate it, so there was no point in complaining about it. Unfortunately, the meat itself did not have much flavor. The steak couldn't carry itself without all those sauces and the fat cap could've been rendered better. The steaks came out with the House steak sauce, Bernaise, and shallot borderlaise sauce, but I missed that on the menu. We ordered the blue cheese and au poivre sauces which we may or may not have ordered how do we known we were getting all three sauces already included. Anyways, out of all the sauces I thought the house steak sauce tasted best. The red wine sauce was a close second, but it needed a little more seasoning. We also ordered a side of creamed spinach and brussel sprouts. The brussel sprouts were delicious, but the creamed spinach was too salty. This was unfortunate since creamed spinach is always my go-to side dish for steak. Overall, a not so great experience after spending 600+ dollars. The most pleasant thing all night was that they notified the valet when we got the check so our car was ready for us when we went outside. (and the valet driver was really friendly) read more

Amazing food and environment and great service. Valet parking in Astoria! Outdoor seating in front is available too. Discovered it after asking around for a good place for steak in Astoria. 3 ppl on a Friday night (we reserved ahead). 1 Skirt steak, 1 salmon, 1 whole branzino. The mains, apps and sides were all VERY delicious. (Calamari, baked clams for apps. Mushrooms, creamed spinach, asparagus for sides.) When we were leaving dinner they were still busy with tables coming in and the one valet guy was very busy. read more

Iam still extremely annoyed after 4 days of having dinner at christos steakhouse in astoria. First of all This establishment is extremely, extremely expensive. They're really trying to fool us by charging these obscene prices, trying to resembling a steakhouse in New york city. First of all ,We had much better stakes elsewhere, nothing to brag about the meats in this place .I had ordered the fish dish the sea bass. When the food was finally served, I took a look at my dish searching where the fish was .the dish consists of two thinly sliced potatoes cut into two halfs making 4 pices all together.the greens were on top of the potatoes and the fish was nowhere to be found.i asked the waiter where is the sea bass and pointed to two small discs the size of a potatoe chip.( folks iam not exaggerating) the attitude of the waiter /restaurant was you are in my restaurant ,this is the dish, as if this is a 5 star establishment. We also ordered two cokes ,they brought us two glass bottles about 8 oz.they call it Mexican coke .I have no idea why but they charged me six dollars for a 8 oz coke . The owner is out of his freaking mind charging these exorbitant prices .folks iam not cheap at all ,but when they piss on you and tell you that it's raining thats when I have a problem. Also,The stakes came well done and we requested medium. I didn't want to send them back because my family was hungry.i wish yhe owner can contact or respond to this review. We felt cheated!!! We will never go back to this restaurant again !!! And maybe the owner should realize that's a astoria restaurant and not a Manhattan establishment. Don't kid your self . read more

I came here tonight for dinner and everything was delicious. I got the porterhouse steak which was mouth watering and so juicy. The bacon appetizer melted in your mouth.

We celebrated my Mother's 80th birthday here on a Friday night with a group of 10. The staff couldn't not have been more welcoming and gracious. They helped me order for the table and even advised me when they thought I might be over-ordering. We ordered a large variety of apps, cocktails, desserts and sides with the star of the show being two porterhouses for 3. Everything was phenomenal and we all left full, happy and impressed by the quality of the meal. The price tag was very reasonable given the level of service and standard of cuisine. We all remarked that Christi's is far better than Peter Luger. read more

Just a transplanted local couple looking for a Saturday Night dinner and up for something other than Butcher Bar (which I like) -- I saw the front of the shop from a Lyft ages ago and wanted to try. Was NOT expecting this! Everything was perfect... Food preparation, quality of meat, volume, customer service, atmosphere, cleanliness and price were all perfect. Not cheap on a normal planet, but many restaurants in this area are so overpriced the bill was way less than I expected especially considering the restaurant's Michelin and Zagat credos. Definitely one of the best steak dinners I've ever had! Even took home a doggie bag! Will repeat... undoubtedly.... read more

Decent steakhouse in Astoria, the oysters and little neck clams were fresh and sweet. We both had the ribeye cooked medium rare, I think it was well seasoned and I enjoyed it without any of the sauces that it came with. The wild mushrooms were tasty. We went with classic choices and opted out on the specials. I did see a few tables order the banana crème martini which I found very disappointing personally. The custard cream tasted very thick and the crumbles of crackers didn't pair well and tasted stale. I think graham crackers would've paired better. The ambiance and service was decent, wasn't too crowded for a superbowl night/Valentines day weekend. Overall I think the food was decent but I'm not sure if it was worth $350+, I'd come back if I'm in the area but not go out of my way for. read more

Before I review the food, let me say the service was very good. The bartender as well as the server were very attentive. No complaints there. We had grilled octopus and calamari for the apps. Very good. The calamari was fried to perfection (not greasy at all and not chewy). Grilled octopus is their signature app and didn't disappoint. We ordered the porterhouse for 2 (med rare) along with creamed spinach and lobster mash. The filet side was good, tender & tasty, but not great. The sirloin was below average. It was tough like a supermarket steak with little to no flavor. For the price it was very disappointing and why I gave only 2 stars. The sides were ok at best. I've had better creamed spinach. Lobster mash was ok, not great. It's not cheap and maybe because the bill was pretty steep I expected alot more. I've eaten at other steakhouses in Manhattan & Brooklyn, paid less and eaten better. read more

I made a reservation for 6:15PM on a Thursday, but there was no need for it as there were plenty of tables. We celebrated a birthday dinner here, as there doesn't seem to be many steakhouses in Astoria, and this caught our eye. We got the lamb cigars and the Prime Wedge for 2. Lamb cigars had a thin, flaky filo dough covering ground, seasoned lamb meat, which we enjoyed. The Prime Wedge was so plentiful when it came to meat, and was on top of a bed of crispy potato chips, and the waiter offered all 3 sauces when we were unsure of what to get. The Christo's sauce was by far our favorite - a sweet sauce with flavors of horseradish and berries. The Shallot Bordelaise was very muted, and the Bearnaise is a cousin of Hollandaise sauce, and felt too fatty and rich for meat. We had to get a box to go, and got some extra Christo's sauce without extra fee. I really liked the service and I didn't feel nickeled and dimed at all. We were tempted by dessert (really cool electronic menu), and definitely interested in coming back to try the sides, especially their plethora of mash potatoes. read more

We ordered food to go on DoorDash. DoorDash never informed us that Christo's was not taking Doordash during the holiday season. DoorDash confirmed our order and listed the time to pick it up. Imagine my surprise when Christo's did not have the order. Totally the fault of DoorDash. Once we realized what happened, Christo himself made it right. He placed our order to go and asked us to have a seat at the bar and have a drink on the house. Would you believe that DoorDash takes 33% of the bill. Totally outrageous. The food was delicious and piping hot. The steak for 2 could have fed 4 people. He saved New Year's Eve for us. Thanks Christo. read more
