Christner's Prime Steak and Lobster

“We had an amazing time at Christner’s Prime Steak & Lobster tonight celebrating my birthday. Our server, James💗, was phenomenal and took excellent care of us. The steak and orange cake were amazing, and we loved the chateau potatoes too. What a lovely night with great food and top-notch service.”

“Must try: Calamari appetizer, ribeye, beef Wellington, lobster mac and cheese, potato au gratin, and mandarin cake. These were absolutely amazing and much too much food for two people. I basically got 3 meals out of my ribeye and lobster mac. The calamari was crispy and tender. The bread was so fluffy and delicious. We had to restrain ourselves from eating multiple loaves of bread before the entrees even hit the table. Lobster Mac was FILLED with lobster. Both side dishes were cheesy and seasoned so well. My boyfriend raved about the beef Wellington, he claims it may be the best Wellington and sauce, he’s ever had. Special recognition: topping your protein entree the Oscar Style. Lump crab meat, hollandaise, and asparagus….this was utterly amazing and decadent. Still delicious but not on the same level as the must tries listed above: mandarin collar, dirty martini, caesar salad. Caesar salad was just a plate of greens, nothing noticeably remarkable about the dressing or seasoning. The garlic cheese croutons were fun but there were only 4 croutons. We would probably pass on the salad next time. Both cocktails were well-made! Service was fantastic. From the moment we walked in to the end of our meal. I believe our server’s name was Jerry and the back server packed our food with more precision than I’ve ever seen anywhere else. Sebastian the magician started off the night perfectly. He was entertaining and personable. We came here for our anniversary and it was perfect. The mouthwatering mandarin cake was courtesy of the house. Prices on the menu may look high but for the quality, quantity, and dining experience…it’s well worth it. The two of us ordered 1app, 2 sides, 2 entrees, 3 drinks, 1 salad, 1 dessert, and had 2 loaves of bread. It was easily 3 meals’ worth of food. Can’t wait to come back to Christener’s!”

“We went here for our first time for our 27 year wedding anniversary. We had heard of the place, so we were expecting great things. We had a reservation for 7:15 and got there about 25 minutes early. No problem we were seated right away. Our waiter who was Anthony was great. Made a few suggestions which we had and they were delicious. Overall our whole experience and time here was wonderful. Officially my wife and I's new favorite restaurant.”

“The food was pretty good. The crab cake and the grouper bites were the star of the show. I got the boneless ribeye and my steak was cooked perfectly. The bread on the table is excellent and fresh I just wish they had brought more. There were 6 of us and they only brought one loaf and when we asked for more they kept saying it was coming but never came. The creamed corn, Brussel sprouts and lobster Mac and cheese was also really good. The service was okay, after he brought the food he never came back to check on us and we wanted split checks but the server never asked us and felt a little irritated that he had to split it in the end. Overall I would rate the experience a 4 1/2.”

“I really wanted to give this restaurant four stars, but that would feel too generous—three stars is more accurate. Overall, the restaurant could use a refresh. The interior feels dated, with very dark, dim colors, and it’s easy to drive right past without noticing it. Inside, there’s nothing particularly memorable, and the piano lounge area especially feels stuck in another era. The food is hit or miss. The steaks are generally very good, and the prime steak is excellent. However, the seafood and à la carte vegetable dishes are more of a three-star experience at best. The calamari was a major disappointment. For $23, it shouldn’t be dry, tough, and chewy—unfortunately, that’s exactly what it was. I did mention the issue to the waiter. I’m not sure there was much he could do, but service-wise he still received a 20% tip from me. All in all, there are plenty of other fine-dining options that offer a better overall experience.”
