Restaurant Christine

We have a great time every time visit. The food is terrific, but Adam, the owner, is amazing. He’s super friendly, happy to help with the menu, and accommodating. He overheard we were going to split our dishes and he plated them split for us. The menu changes often and there’s always a special, so we always have something new to try. Today we got the mushroom risotto special and spring chicken sandwich

A true treasure! In on of the pictures I posted, you can see that the salmon is cooked perfectly. I wish I could cook salmon like this: medium rare, crispy skin, perfectly seasoned. Atmosphere is literally "white table cloth" and our attire was typical Seattle shabby no chic. And yet, we were not under-dressed. So casual and friendly are the staff. The background music was at a perfect level. Well under the conversation level. The atmosphere fosters conversation. I cannot say enough about this. The tables are nicely spaced, so you are not sitting next to the people nearby. This place is welcoming. No cocktails, just beer and wine. A very nice selection. Definitely coming back.

This is such a beautiful location, with an elegant atmosphere. The menu is well thought out and offers a beautiful selection of seasonal offerings. The portions are generous and plated to accentuate each dish. This is a wonderful restaurant, locally owned and operated. Adam I think it's the owner's name was charming and offered excellent descriptions of each dish. I can't wait to see what each new season brings to the menu. I will definitely return! Thank you for such a delicious appetizer, meal, and dessert!

New post: Valentine's Day 2022 Came here for a late date, and again, it is the most wonderful place. Perfect atmosphere, cozy, and the food was absolutely perfect! We came in when it first opened, and more in between, and have never been disappointed. The wait staff is sweet, and care deeply for your experience. Please, do not hesitate stopping in to Restaurant Christine. Old post: I had a wonderful experience with Restaurant Christine. Adam has created a wonderful atmosphere exquisite food with this restaurant. We ordered three items off the menu, and were extremely happy with each dish. We would have been happy with a dish each, but had to try multiple items. The food was light, and perfect for a lunch. With enough room for a dessert and espresso. We are excited to try dinner, and to finish the rest of the menu! Each item is seasonal, and I am more than willing to try new items produced in this kitchen. So come get them while they are still here!

Adam is wonderful! He is so kind and helpful with explaining the menu. He is passionate about what he does and the atmosphere of the restaurant and quality of the food reflects that: it's made from scratch and is all incredibly fresh. The menu is seasonal, so the food is literally as fresh as it can get. We got three different dishes to try them out beet risotto, clam pasta, and mushroom chicken sandwich, and I can't pick a favorite because they're all incredibly delicious. We will definitely be coming back and we're excited to see how the seasonal menu changes. ---- update as of 2/15, everything is still fresh and the restaurant is lively as ever! Happy for Adam to see his restaurant thriving :

I just had the BEST burger from Restaurant Christine. Placing a takeout order over the phone was a breeze. I got the Zoe burger on a gluten-free bun SO excited to see they have GF options. I like my burgers well-done, and they managed to cook it that way without drying it out. The burger was thick and juicy and just perfect. And the fries that came with it were perfectly seasoned and crispy. The owner is also delightful to talk to. I will definitely be coming back again and again!

Dined in for a late lunch between lunch crowd and dinner crowd time. Everything was flavorful and fresh. Great sauce/spice pairings that enhanced the flavor of the dishes without overwhelming them. The chef, who also served as our waiter, clearly cared about his food creations and that we enjoyed them. We will definitely go again!

Dining at Restaurant Christine is a puzzling experience, with brilliant highs but some confusion about the ambience they're aiming for? The vibe is much like a trip back in time to the 70s or somewhere a restaurant is a space to hang out in and kick back for hours. It's huge, the white tablecloths and paper menus are pretty basic. There was odd rock music pulsing in the background. The other parties there were intergenerational one birthday lending the feeling that this is a place to take the Olds for a treat. But the food was Delicious. I had the special of elk bolognaise on a kind of almost-gnocchi and wanted to lick the plate. Even at $30, I'd return just for that plate. It was rich, perfectly flavored, umami, silky and richly textured. That elk did not die in vain. Our server was attentive, warm and relaxed and there was no pressure to leave after our meal. It was chill, like a quaint regional hotel dining room we chanced upon, more than a restaurant. I hope Restaurant Christine does well. For me to visit for more special meals they need to figure out their ambience. It could be awesome but felt awkward at first, and by mistake. I'd love to see them lean into the niche with real menus, sharing their story. Who are you, Christine? You sure can cook :

Went there for Valentine Day. A new restaurant, understaff but those that were working were nice. Our waitress was waiting on us, other tables, busting tables and helping managing the plates. Don't go hungry! Our reservations was at 6pm and didn't leave until 8:45pm. We ordered our drinks and apps and waited over an hour for our meal. At this point I ask the waitress why so long and she explained that this was the first time they had so many people and that they are short staff. I only wished that she had communicated at the beginning and we would have been more understanding. Our dinner was really good. I really liked the red velvet cake. It was very moist! I ask our waitress to ask the chef how is the cake so moist. She told me he said "made with love" Do try them out and be patience. Add photos

Had a wonderful experience at Restaurant Christine a few months ago. Adam was very accommodating for a reservation request. The atmosphere was cozy and just what I was looking for. The food was great and Adam was very open to feedback.
