    Fabulous dinner. We were a party of six and in a private room. Josh was our server and he was fantastic. We had Ceaser salads, wedge salads, beef Wellington, tomahawk steak, fillets, shrimp. Potatoes, mushrooms, Brussels sprouts, and onion rings. Dessert of their Orange cake that was a huge piece. Could have fed all of us and we had two. We all took home half our dinners.

    The food was fine. Servers took items from the table before we were finished with them. They work in teams so wasn’t our main waiter. Salad came out before appetizer. The table was a booth. We felt crammed into it. No room to move. Feet touching people across from us. It was disappointing. Very expensive restaurant for the experience we had.

    The food quality and preparation was perfect as always, and expected. 3 people.  lamb, chops, classic, Caesar salad, and fillet trio.  accommodated my dietary requirements perfectly.  the restaurant does need a good cleaning. Dust and a bit of crime are kicks on in obvious places. Our server was competent. Her face did not move with the exception of her mouth and eyes. It was a bit strange, and took some getting used to.

    This time the food quality was bad. My steak was so salty you couldn't taste the meat. My wife's steak was burned black on the outside. Never had such a bad experience for $300.

    Christner’s is one of my go to places for a great meal. I have been there to celebrate more than one anniversary in the past, as well as to celebrate birthdays with family and I have taken numerous clients there for business — always a great experience. Louigi has been the waiter who has taken care of me at Christners for years and he always does a great job and makes our dinner experience a special one — he is the best !

    The best and most outstanding steak house in Central Florida. Usually have steak but this time tried the salmon - which was excellent. The other guests all had steak and no complaints, just rave reviews. The sides are plentiful and enough to take home. Delicious sides. The cake slices are large enough to eat half and take half home for breakfast. Best carrot cake I ever had but plan on trying the mandarin orange next time. One guest raved about it. Looking forward to another dinner at Christners.

    It was awful. Started with their “special” appetizer, grouper bites. The oil had not been changed and they fried them in the same oil as the oysters. Since they had a bit of an oyster taste already, I didn’t notice when I bit into an actual oyster mixed in with the grouper. For our entree I had the 16oz ribeye and date had the salmon. Our two sides were the spinach and asparagus. The salmon was ok. Ribeye was decent but over seasoned. The asparagus was steamed and topped with the same seasoning as my steak. The spinach tasted frozen was was topped with American Cheese? Our appetizer plates weren’t cleared until entrees arrived. Our drinks were refilled once. The quality and service did not warrant the prices. Our server joked “ready for the bad news huh” when I asked for the check.

    Costly and portions were too big. Server was good and seasoned but could have taken it up a notch by being kinder or smiled. Food was great but steak was over seasoned and the gravy was salty. We heard so many great things about Christner's, however I left underwhelmed.
