Went here for a business lunch. Starting from the beautitul landscape, to the host to the food... everything was great!. This place was originally a huge house, converted. Cute set up. We started with the bruscetta. Delish! Lots of garlic i got one of the specials, Greek salad. Really good. And big! I took half of it home. Others got crab cake, Cuban, burger (huge burger) and the little one got grilled cheese with fries. Another special was Beet salad that one of us got to try as well. Everyone enjoyed everything they got. I will be back one day soon to try their brunch on a Sunday (10-1230 or 1, I forget) ~call them. read more

So many seeds in eggplant parm. And the presintation,in a souffle' dish. Not good. Bruschetta was bland and more like pizza. Pork tenderloin was very UNDERCOOKED. Potato croquette was actually good. Sent the dish back BOTH dishes. Eggplant was removed from bill. Another Pork tenderloin came out but only had a few bites. Potato was cold in the middle. First time there. Last time there. read more

This old house turned eatery was one of the few restaurants in this upscale neighborhood. Representative of the surrounding community pricing was also upscale for a lunchtime salad, sandwich, seafood, pasta, and appetizer menu. A salad and burger were $40 with tax but before tip. Service was very good but not exceptional. Christof's is a comfortable spot to dine inside as well as popular outside seating around the building. read more

The weather was super comfortable that night so we opted to sit outside. The server greeted us right away and was very pleasant. We started with some yummy warm bread and oil. You can never go wrong with that! Shortly after, our meals came out and the presentation was absolutely lovely! Flavors were very good. My chicken could have used a bit less cook time but otherwise very good. We did have to cut out time a little shorter because as soon as the sun gets low, the mosquitoes come out. I recommend sitting in the dining room for dinner. read more

Great location and many different seating options/locations. Decent menu and reasonably priced. Service was very good. As restaurant filled up for lunch, noise level inside was very loud (would opt for porch or outdoor seating next visit). Food was basically good if uninspired. read more

I'm not sure why they have under a 4.0 rating. Service and food was amazing. We lucked onto this place while picking up some items we bought. Busy for a Tuesday but got sat quickly. Very cute outside area but we sat inside. They have a small menu but with lots of options. Sever gave good recommendations. We both had a soup and the bread and oil brought was delish.y cream of mushroom was rich and warming. For entrees bf had fish and chips and I got the pork tenderloin. These names don't do the items we got justice. Legit so good and really some interesting ways to do it. My pork was wrapped in prosciutto and served over the best potato croquette huge creamy fresh ingredients inside. The tomato sauce with it was delightful. So good!! My bf loved the fish it was huge. We will def go back. Glad to have found this place. read more

This restaurant is TERRIFIC. We ate here our first night in Fort Myers. It was near our rental. They had a lot of fires going in the outdoor dining area, giving a festive vibe. And the parking lot was packed. On a Tuesday. So we thought "what the heck." The less than happy hostess let us know their indoor dining room was booked, but we could be seated at an outside table on the deck. So first advice- make a reservation. Even on a Tuesday in February. We were hesitant, but the shades were drawn, creating a wind barrier, and the fires were plentiful. We actually lucked out. Because working the deck was James, the most funny, engaging, witty yet sarcastic waiter. Ask to be seated in his section. Wait for a table of his to open if you have time. You'll thank me later. Now for the food. This place offers a little bit of everything, so if you're dining with friends and family, everyone should find something to their liking. For appetizers we started with their Bruschetta and Calamari. The bruschetta is like not normal, it's COVERED in cheese, and I'm not complaining one bit. It basically made them like little slices of pizza. 6 pieces. Delicious. The calamari was fine. A good portion with a decent marinade dip. For entrees we had their special of the night, lobster mac, plus steak salad, Bouillabaisse and pasta primavera. Dinner is also served with bread and an olive oil dip. The steak salad is a terrific value, for $20 you can't make this at home any cheaper. And the steak is seasoned well and served with a honey mustard dressing, which is good, but this would be better with a horseradish based dressing. The lobster Mac comes in a very generous portion, with lots of chunky lobster, three different cheeses and breadcrumbs. I hate to see lobsters terrific flavor concealed with anything but a dash of mayo or butter, but this dish slaps. The pasta primavera is fine, it's pasta with a ton of veggies (we added chicken). But the star of the show was the Bouillabaisse. Apparently Cristof has some creole cooking background, or inspiration, or something. Our waiter James said this was his second favorite dish here (the scallops dish was #1) but I'm here to tell you, I don't care if you are only so so like shrimp, or are unsure about mussels, get this dish and you will be licking the bowl dry. It's that good. For dessert we got tiramisu, key lime pie, pecan pie and a this ice cream thing covered in chocolate (like a truffle) with a cherry middle. Sorry, can't remember its name, didn't take any pics because we got them to go, and forgot to ask if any were made in house. They were priced like they were made in their kitchen, and we would order any of these again, so go for it if you like your sweets! We are in this area once a year and will definitely be back, and maybe you'll consider going off the beaten path and trying out this spot too! read more

Real southern feel to this place. Good inside bar and plenty of inside or outside seating. Pretty basic food. Cooked well and not outstanding choice. They have vehicles burger if you are not careful.

The dish had 3 large blackened scallops and a large portion of risotto. My wife had the shrimp and grits. 6 nice sized shrimp and a large portion of grits. I had the key line pie for dessert. Our server wax Josh. read more

Went for a dinner at Cristof's on McGregor Blvd. This is a formerly an old house converted to a restaurant with wrap around porch and outside dining area. This is off season; we got seated immediately without any delay! We opted to dine inside instead on the porch due to impending rain! We ordered grilled chicken Toscano with roasted red peppers, artichoke and spinach smothered with melted cheese on a bed roasted dice red potato. Huge portion, took half home. Hubby, ordered his seafood, shrimp, clams, roasted red pepper, spinach with angel hair pasta. Huge portion but he finished the dish with a cold beer! We enjoyed the warm complimentary bread. The wait staff are very friendly, professional and with quick service! read more

I have been here many times over the years and the food is always good. Service is excellent. They really hustle to take care of you. Had the red snapper special this time - We usually come for lunch, but I am definitely going to have to come back for dinner. Parking can fill up. the dining outside is quite nice even though it is on a busy road. Can be loud inside when it is busy. Will definitely be back! read more

Several Inside seating options including the Bar area & 3 more outside 1 out front area 2 more on side decks. My husband adores the Meatballs & Spaghetti. We enjoy the fish specials & all the standbys. We always get one of their Great Salad Options & sometimes order extras to take home to reheat & enjoy on busy weekends. read more

Jazz themed art all over the walls which was really neat. We went at a time where they were very busy but we didn't have to wait long for any items. Calamari with the dipping sauce was to die for. Not a fan of the bread and oil, the oil seemed a little odd with some sweetness I wasn't ready for, almost like it had citrus influence. Got the special, seafood risotto. It was really good but again the key lime risotto took a minute to get used to but it actually worked well. Had to add some pepper but otherwise it was a good meal for a good price. read more

Great service. We had a reservation for 7 people on a weeknight. Lots of outdoor tables. Propane heaters were scattered throughout the table area. Indoor seating and bar is also an option. We tried several appetizers prior to our meals arriving. My favorite was the bruschetta. Seafood, burgers, steaks, pastas as well as salads are on the me. Waitstaff were attentive throughout the meal. read more

Tonight, my fiance and I, along with a couple of friends, enjoyed a delightful dinner at Christoph's on McGregor. Housed in a beautifully remodeled turn-of-the-century home, the restaurant offers a warm and inviting atmosphere that perfectly compliments the dining experience. We ordered lasagna, spaghetti with meatballs, scallops with risotto, Caprese salad, warm bread, cheesecake, and homemade Key lime pie. The lasagna was, as always, delicious and served in a generous portion. The spaghetti came with impressively large meatballs--definitely enough to share--and was packed with flavor. The scallops were cooked to perfection, and the risotto was wonderfully creamy. The cheesecake however lacked flavor, but the homemade key lime pie was amazing! It was a fantastic meal in a charming setting--truly a wonderful evening! read more

We joined friends for dinner on the patio-Delicious cocktails and absolutely PREFECT lasagna! We will definitely be back!

The reason my photos are inferior is because we sat outside -- I love al fresco dining! -- and it got progressively darker. See! It was still a little light when salad was served, but when the entrees arrived, it was past dusk. It was a five-star evening because of the company and setting, but a 3.5-star meal. Here's my take: *** My husband and I shared a house salad. Nothing special except maybe carrot strips. All dressings are homemade, and ranch didn't disappoint. *** It was listed as 'salmon with creamy crawfish sauce.' I stressed that the salmon be cooked rare, almost seared. (It wasn't.) Luckily -- since I ended up not liking it -- I asked that the sauce be on the side. Spinach is a wonderful vegetable that's easy to jazz-up. This spinach, a mound sitting on the fish, was cooked. No garlic, no taste. Perhaps it would've been better with crawfish sauce as the chef envisioned. But since I didn't like the sauce, it likely would've "contaminated" the vegetable. All this was sitting on mashed potatoes, which also left me cold. Note to self: order something different next time. *** T ordered seafood scampi, a special of the night. He liked it. Yay! Four stars. *** The wine list covers a good range. I gave T a choice of Pinot Grigio or Malbec, both less than $35. He went with Malbec which was easy-sipping and great with our meals. Cristof's is a popular restaurant. Based on a Thursday night during "season," reservations are imperative. Ask for a table out front or on the porch. There's a big parking lot behind, which may be filled. If it is, per an employee, "grab what you can!" Park on the grass, parallel park on the side. You'll find something! read more

Party of six for Valentines dinner. I had called the restaurant two times after making my initial reservation back in December where I requested seating on their outdoor porch. When I called back the first time in January to confirm, I was told they didn't see any reservation and they would take care of it. When I called back the second time I got the same story but this time I actually got the name of an employee which I wrote down and she said we were all set for a party of six on the porch. When we arrived on February 14, the reservation only stated outside And did not mention porch where there were no more available seats. Cristoffs has a lovely ambience to the setting and the porch is a lovely place to dine and I see no excuse for the mixup that occurred. We ended up on the outside patio, which turned out to be fine Even though there was a slight chance of rain. Took a while to get our server to our table, but when he did, he was efficient in a blah kind of way. after our drinks arrived, we ordered our meals which consisted of two servings of grilled fresh grouper, which was one of their daily specials, filet mignon, lamb, shank, and a shrimp pasta dish. The appetizers of Caprese salad and fried green tomatoes were good too excellent and the Caprese salad was huge. Everything was going fine until our meals arrived when one of the orders of grouper came out practically raw and then it took almost 20 minutes for it to return and the french fries that accompanied it came out another five minutes after the grouper appeared. All of our meals deserved more than three stars, and we were all quite satisfied except for the uncooked fish on one order. I might also add that their French baguette and dipping sauce was quite excellent. I would gladly return but would be more careful in requesting special seating as in having them repeat what the request is. The food for the most part was four star, and it was unfortunate we had the misunderstanding on seating and properly cooked fish read more

17 December 23 This is a cute little restaurant about a mile from my Church. It has a lovely wrap around porch for outside dining as well as a large patio area for dinning under the stars , or Sun if you like. This was a private home , I believe , converted to a lovely restaurant with ample seating for indoor and outdoor dining. The restaurant consist of several rooms one of which contains a brick fireplace. The restaurant is large enough to accommodate dozens of clientele, and parties if desired. The menu has various entrees and salads with something for everyone. This place is quickly becoming my go to place after Sunday Church. I enjoyed the Steak Salad and my companion enjoyed a Chicken Salad. Plenty of free parking is available in the private lot behind the restaurant. I give this place 5 Stars. Ambience, attentive wait staff and pleasant venue and good food all add up to 5 Stars. read more

Came for a lunch with friends. We had a large table on the porch. It was pleasant with the ceiling fans and in the shade. I ordered the quiche of the day. The serving was the size of a large piece of cake! Tasty,maybe a little salty, but I ate every bite. Betty was a fun and friendly waitress. She was knowledgeable about anything on the menu and graciously answered our questions. A number of ladies in our group ordered the southern pecan chicken salad. It looked like a nice light lunch. Only sad part was my Bloody Mary was not the best. A little light on flavor. read more

There were 4 of us that went for the first time, initial impression was good with the atmosphere. Unfortunately it went down from there. It took 20 minutes before we got a glass of water and a drink. three items we tried ordering they were out of. the server was inattentive, and they brought me out the wrong food so I had to wait again while everyone else ate. Lastly the food was just mediocre. read more

Such a great atmosphere. Went for lunch and had the mojito and it was amazing. Lunches are huge, and delicious.

AMAZING chicken Caesar salad! No skimping on the warm double chicken breast that melts into salad. Yummy

Very disappointed in Mothers day lunch, had reservations 2 weeks ago for 6 , we were placed in a booth for 4 and had to make it work.... We waited over an hour for our food when people who were seated 20' after us were eating in 10'. Service was poor!!! We had been here recently for dinner and had a great experience and opted to come back as a result!! Spoke with James Mgr, excuses regarding the kitchen... I've worked in this industry while in college, excuse the excuses?!? Really he needs managerial training ..... I very rarely take the time to "speak w mgt" .... read more

Drinks were generously poured. Service was a little slow at the start, otherwise I'd give it a 5. Jazz motif, very cool

Lovely atmosphere, perfect service, tasty food. It was a delightful experience. Handicapped parking proved a little difficult for me and so I had a bit of a walk, but it is a restored older local home so I was ok with it. I always enjoy local businesses more than chain and if you feel the same I feel you will enjoy your experience. read more

Was promptly seated upon arrival with reservation. Service overall was good. Had the buffet. Omelets were good. Ham was over cooked and dry. Bacon and hash browns were OK. Slow to replace some items on buffet. Desserts seemed store bought. Very crowded. Nothing extraordinary. read more

Went to the Sunday Easter Brunch. It was presented sloppy. Food was average. Nothing special. For 49.50 per person it was a big disappointment!!! Would not go back for this event however we love to go and dine here and order a meal. There was no comparison to their regular menu and twice the price. Very disappointing. We were a party of 16. Bought cupcakes for the dessert. Wish we would have selected another restaurant read more

This restaurant came highly recommended so we booked for Easter. We arrived on time and proceeded to wait and wait while more and more groups came in that they were unable to seat. They were incredibly overbooked and the hostesses were confused and overwhelmed. I don't blame them. It should not have been booked over the restaurant's capacity. After a while we gave up and left. read more

We came here for New Years Eve dinner before heading downtown for the festivities. Easy to make a reservation and we were seated promptly. Cocktails were delicious and our server was fun and friendly! I had the salmon dish and it was cooked to perfection. Would love to sit out on the wrap around porch next time, it was beautiful! Lovely spot for an upscale-casual dinner. read more

The food was very good great service great atmosphere set outside . A big selection of food to choose from.

Two of us decided to try this restaurant one evening. We had no idea we needed to make reservations and after waiting a few minutes, were ushered to the last table on the porch . It was hot outside but beggars can't be choosers, right? The food was good but a little pricey. We were kind of treated, in my opinion, like we were the extra table someone needed to take care of. Over all, I'd give it a 6.5/10. read more

Great food good ambience and service. Need to Make a reservation. Enjoyed sitting outside.

We had the mid-afternoon dinner and enjoyed the experience. Choosing the side porch because it was more quiet that the terrace, we enjoyed drinks at leisure without interruption. Two of us enjoyed the catch, cobia, one blackened, one grilled. Excellent fish! One of us had the 10 oz burger and said she could not possible finish it but then ate the whole thing it was so wonderful. I had the steak salad and asked for it to be as rare as was safe, and it was perfect. Whoever is in charge of buying your meats deserves a hurrah, and whoever cooked mine deserves a big raise. read more
