Phenomenal Bar, Service and Food!

Stopped in for an early dinner and drinks on a great summer night, and knew right away we made the right choice. The bartender Eric made everyone feel at home, and that our meals and drinks were perfect. Our apps and steaks were excellent, as were the creative cocktails. Even though the place... read more

Such a nice little addition to the great atmosphere in Bristol! A cozy place with a small bar and homey feel, Christian offers great cuisine with well constructed flavors and cohesive plates. We liked the white pizza (Pizza Bianca) and the creative drink offerings including the Kevin Nealon (twist on twisted tea) and the throw back to a 50s Manhattan.... More

We happened upon this place last night and what a wonderful surprise. The food was tremendous but the wine list is absolutely fabulous. If you love wine, you'll enjoy this place. Their wine list is extensive with hard to find wines but still at a decent price. Their Brussel sprout salad was unreal and Statler chicken to die for. This... More

Creative and scrumptious. Everything that we have had here has been excellent: salmon, striper, tuna, salads. Everything. They have an extensive wine list and a fully-stocked bar. They have streetside dining in the summer months.

Don'[t miss the buratta salad. I had it as a first course and still regret having to share it with my husband. It was outstanding. The burgers were also wonderful and one of our guests had a pizza that she really enjoyed. The portions were generous and the fries were great. We will return.

Not the best but not the worst place in town. Service was slow, ambiance so so, food was only fair. Calamari appetizer was quite good. Hamburger was basically tasteless and served with overdone French fries. Drinks were very expensive for a smallish pour. Would not go back.

Read good things about this restaurant so I suggested we give it a try. Very glad we did. For an app we shared the wood fired pizza bianco. Very, very thin and very, very crisp. It was first covered with what I think was shredded parmesan cheese which actually made the crust even crispier. Then, after it was fired they... More

service was very good the food was also very good but I had the scallop dish $27 for 4 scallops no problem there they were cooked to perfection and I understand that fresh scallops are pricey but I think they could have given a bit more of the veg. that is my only complaint
