| - Dined at Christo's for New Years Eve, and enjoyed the experience. With NYE came a special menu and a crowd - it was tough to get a reservation but they shoehorned us in. Be nice to the hostess, talk her up a little, she appreciates it. ;) Once inside, we were greeted by the hostess and like some other Yelpers did notice that we might be a little younger than the average Christo's patron. But so what? A good meal is a good meal and Christo's served up a good meal.
We started with mussels and chose the garlic cream broth - ample, prepared nicely and served in that delicious broth. Don't let it go to waste! The broth is yum-tastic when soaking a piece of their fresh bread!
Entrees were served with soup and salad I ordered the Lobster Ravioli. The salad was good, with a great house made dressing, and the soup -- well the house mushroom and artichoke soup didn't SOUND great to me, but it was delicious. Really blew my taste buds away. I could have just sipped on a giant bowl of that soup all night! So good.
And the Ravioli was to die for. I love rich, savory entrees and this was no slouch in that category. It was a large portion and I devoured as much of it as I could, but after all the mussels, salad and soup I just couldn't finish it! If you see Lobster Ravioli on the menu, don't hesitate to order. Very good.
Pricing was quite reasonable especially considering the portions. Great wine list as well, and to my wife's pleasure, they serve Veuve Clicquot in a 375ml demi at a pretty reasonable price for a restaurant. Our service was a little slow and our server was quite stoic, but the restaurant was completely slammed for NYE and we are two people who conversation does not elude. We will definitely patronize Christo's again.
