Diner Reviews
  • "Birthday dinner with my 94 year old father and family. Service from Luigi was fabulous! Calamari appetizer was excellent. Sides, family style were great, especially the Mac n cheese. The steaks, ribeye's and a filet were just good. Too much pepper, and a smidge overdone from med rare. Overall a very good experience. If you go, ask for Luigi."

  • "Definitely the best food I have ever had! Crab cake with lobster sauce was delicious, as was the lobster bisque with big chunks of lobster in it. Our beef Wellington was cooked to perfection & so tender. Definitely a special occasion place & well worth the fine dining experience. Will definitely be back!"

  • "My boyfriend and I had the most enjoyable evening. We ate at delfrisco's in Vegas and loved it. We were hoping this would be the same (since it was formerly delfrisco's) but it was better. This is definitely worth it. Great experience."

  • "The food is incredible, the wait staff is impeccable. The problem I have had twice is that we are at a very small table for three adults. The last time we sat at a cocktail table and it was impossible to get all of the food on the table. We asked to move, there wasn't any space available to move. On another special occasion, we were seated next to the restrooms and server area. I asked that we move because I didn't want to sit near the bathroom or server area. Again, no space available to move; I mentioned this when we were seated; the hostess was annoyed and never came back to let me know if we could be moved; I had to find her. For this kind of money, we will dine elsewhere - sorry."

  • "The out the door price was $264, with no drinks purchased. That is way too much for the quality of food that we received. We shared the filet mignon 12 oz. and the 14 ounce lobster tail. The steak was well prepared, but not melt in your mouth, as we had hoped for. The lobster tail, @ $7 an ounce was really, really tough, with very little taste. I would never spend $98 again for the lobster tail. I was told that the smallest lobster available was 14 oz, but the couple across from us were told 12 oz. Two different servers, but the information should be the same. Also, we were charged extra for sharing the shrimp appetizer. I don't mind paying, just be upfront about it."

  • "While this place donned the name Del Frisco for a long time and might have gotten the odd visit from people who knew that name, those really in the know have been coming for what's inside. Our last visit was typical of what we've had each time there, over many years. Great cocktails and wine, terrific food and wonderful service. While I wish we went more often, this is our 'top shelf treat' and we celebrated our anniversary. And in addition to the great dining experience, we were wished a happy anniversary by Miss Carole and it made the night perfect."

  • "Went for our anniversary. The ambience, the food, and the service were all great. Each time we've been here, our entire experience has always been top-notch. Enjoyed everything: lobster bisque was delightfully thick & creamy with lots of lobster chunks; our steaks were prepared exactly the way we asked; both our fresh steamed broccoli & chunky lobster mac-n-cheese were perfect; and our orange cake dessert was a pleasant and delicious surprise; more than enough to share. Great folks delivering on their promise to provide us a first-class dining experience. Well done."

  • "It had been a while since we dined here. When I made my reservation I forgot to request a table away from the bar. We were seated at a table by the piano but next to the doorway to the bar. A few loud guys in the bar must have been there since Happy Hour. The pianist played nice, soft background music until a couple sat at the piano bar. Another two couples walked up to the piano while waiting for their table. Then the music got loud and the piano player started singing. When the two couples sat at their table and the first couple left, the music toned down again. Great food, though. Beef Wellington was excellent as was my steak and the lobster bisque. Service was very good. A manager never stopped by our table to see if everything was OK."

  • "My wife and I went to Christner's for the first time after living in Orlando for years; we had no idea what we were missing out on! They are known for their steaks, but everything we had was delicious. Notably, the crab cakes, chateau potatoes and ahi seared tuna. Of course, the filet was to die for. The ambiance was a unique combination of upscale-without-being-stuffy and laid back. We'll be back soon!"

  • "This was a birthday dinner. The reception was not at all crisp, zero eye contact! My wife asked if they had an orange Martini and the server said she would check with the bartender, she came back and asked how she wanted it....She changed the order to a Gin and Tonic and the server then stated they had great martini's and started to rattle them off....note to management; perhaps a drink menu for your guests???? Food was good, wedge salad was OK, more bacon and blue cheese which the server said was fabulous had few if any blue cheese chunks. We stated when we ordered the steak could be sliced for us, the server brought it and asked how. Good meal Good service, a bit less than I would expect at a top end steak house! "

  • "The last time I dined here it was called Del Frisco s. I was very impressed with the remolding. The service was great, attentive but not overbearing. The steaks were done to perfection and met my high expectations for taste and quality. Great venue for out of town guests and special occasions. I would recommend Christner's. "

  • "During our last trip to Orlando we wanted to go to a local but yet reliable restaurant for a good steak or fish. Well, we found it. Even though the name had recently changed The quality and service where just as good as before. Their wine list has lots of choices and prices and the desserts are to die or gain weight for. Highly recommended."

  • "We had a wonderful experience at Christners. The food was exquisite and we received immaculate services. The staff accommodated my party as the numbers increased from the original amount. They were able to rearrange my dining area, at the drop of the pin, to accommodate the new arrivals. Within my group we had 4 children (10,9,6,3), and they all enjoyed dinner and the staff welcomed the kids. "

The food is always terrific, right from the side dishes to the wonderfully prepared steaks. The service is spectacular and always smiling and there when you need them. To us, there is no better place to go. Not only for the great food, but for the service and ambiance. We will go back!"

  • "You think of classic steakhouse or new age high-end steakhouse (Flemmings/Ruth's Chris) and you think snobby, stuck up, stiff...well at least I do and specifically in Winter Park. My wife and I celebrated a special occasion at Christner's and it was anything and everything but pretentious. We felt welcomed and wanted, service was superb, the reccomended wine was in our budget, and the food was too die for. Seriously. When they say don't use a knife to cut the bread, don't...rip it!!! I'll be back for sure. Well worth the price. Every bite "

  • "Tried Christner's for the first time this weekend. Our waiter, Manny, was fantastic! Ask for him. He knows the menu inside-out and backwards. Calamari was great - a little heat, nicely fried, tender. I felt like the blue cheese dressing was too mayonnaisey, the mushrooms had too much sherry and the chateau potatoes were too peppery. That aside, the steak was fantastic! Nice piece of meant, excellently cooked and nicely seasoned. The atmosphere was quiet but not too stuffy. Service moved along a very pleasant pace. Would definitely go back. "
