“Had a wonderful Mother’s Day dinner at Kristine’s. The food was excellent across the board — especially the mussels frites, coq au vin, duck leg, and salmon tartare. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared and perfect for a special occasion. Our server, June, was fantastic. She was incredibly warm, attentive, and made the whole experience feel welcoming without being overbearing. One small touch that really stood out: she noticed we were enjoying the broth from the mussels and proactively brought over extra bread for us to soak it up. Little moments like that make a restaurant memorable. Great food, great service, and a really lovely atmosphere for celebrating with family. We’ll definitely be back.”
“I was treated to lunch at this French delightfull eatery. Truly a treat in every way. The service was great; the staff are fantastic. The food was excellent. Atmosphere was very comfortable. My onion soup was delicious with a new different taste for me. My host had the mushroom tart which she enjoyed very much. The sausage entry was very nice with a great mild tasty flavor cooked to perfection. My chicken dish had a wonderful sauce and also cooked perfectly. The fries were done as ordered and so tasty. Our deserts were a perfect ending to a wonderful dinning experience. The fact that it was a special price was a BONUS. If you are in the area I highly recommend making a reservation to dine at Kristine's.”
“Wonderful place all around. Great bartender, great food perfectly presented. Having dinner at the bar I could witness the drinks being perfectly prepared. Foos was excellent and prices quite reasonable - especially in relation to quality. Very well-done wine list emphasizing under-the-radar french wines at reasonable prices. Large selection by the glass. The rainbow trout was exquisitely prepared and served piping hot. Dessert is a must.”
“We had a great meal here! As a French person myself, I can confidently say that the food was very good, a mix of bistrot and traditional sunday’s cuisine. The starters were good, and the main dish, coq au vin, was delicious. You can tell the meat was of high quality. We also really enjoyed the Restaurant Week experience, it’s a great initiative, so thank you! We also noticed the chef personally serving during busy times, which was really nice to see. And our waitress was amazing, she pronounced all the French dish names so well, and she was super kind, always coming by to check on us, almost a bit too often, but in a good way!”
“Busy location..We arrived early and the bar was full, so we walked around while waiting for our reservation. The server gave great recommendations and paid great attention to detail of requests. That said I didn't think the service was overly attentive. When our wine glasses were empty, they simply cleared our glasses-instead of offering another round. The lobster bisque was the highlight of the meal. The escargot was good. Dinner came warm. We had steak fries-yummy, idiot lamb- good flavor not the most tender, duck-fall off the bone, a little salty~each came with a frisee salad and fresh made French fries, we also had a leg of lamb. Overall, it was good, nothing truly special. For dessert we ordered, chocolate souffle-really good (worth ordering ahead), creme brulee-good (no fruit, no toppings), apple tart was meh. Ultimately, it was good, in not sure we would revisit this restaurant.”
