10. The Lobster Pot

Reviewed By Dwp20764
We had lobster rolls, broiled whole lobster, and a couple crab cakes, New England style. The whole lobster 1.5 lb. was $50.00 vs the lobster rolls $24. It was all delicious with great choices of side dishes including fresh asparagus, baked potatoes, coleslaw and my favorite roasted spinach. Cocktails were well made and top $$. Beautiful waterfront location.Thank you for the review - We hope to see you back this Summer to enjoy one of the BEST views in Bristol on our outdoor patio!

Our server was wonderful, almost like a long-lost friend, yet without being over-the-top. The food filled our tummies, but wasn't particularly special. The tzatziki on my gyros lacked the usual "pop", for example. But the prices were good.

Looking for a quick bite after a long day. Figured this spot would be easy and casual compared to the nicer spots in town. Had more of PUB/ bar atmosphere, super loud so minimal conversation with my group. Only bottom floor was open but server took forever. Came for a burger but really not many options. None of us were impressed. My BBQ flatbread tasted like a wet towel. No thanks...

We sat at the bar, as we usually do, and our seats were next to the door to the outside patio. The door banged INCESSANTLY because the staff goes in and out of the door to service the guests on the patio. The door doesn't close quietly - it bangs every single time. And, the staff can't be expected to close the door, they need to let it simply close behind them. So something should be done to soften the close - there are several high tops right there as well as several bar seats. I assume it also disturbs guests on the patio but probably not as much. Also, we miss the blue corn bread sticks - they're better than the yellow corn. Other than that, we love the menu because of its variety, creativity, and wonderful preparations.Thank you for your feed back we love to hear different views on our restaurant so we can grow as a whole. We have fixed our door so when it closes it no longer slams shut. Thank you!

We had dinner at Christian's on July 3rd. It was our second visit there and both of them have been extraordinary. The food, the wine and the desserts were absolutely top notch. The staff was excellent also. There was a young lady at the front door who appeared to be handling all the reservations, but whenever she was not busy she would come by and fill our water, take our plates when we were done and she even checked with us to make sure we were happy with our meals. She was not a waitress but she was keeping an eye on the front door and all the customers at the same time. All the staff seemed to take an interest in all the customers not just the ones they were serving. The young lady at the front was just that much more noticeable because she wasn't one of the waitrons. It is not very often you see a place where the staff is seamless and works as one. It is a very well run restaurant. Everything was exquisite and we will be back, hopefully soon!!

Right on the water in Bristol. Nice views from the outdoor patio (but reliable seating inside). A relatively expansive menu but I always have the whole belly fried clams which are excellent. Popular with locals which is always a good sign

We had a beautiful corner table overlooking the water and outside deck. The service staff was friendly, fast and efficient. We shared a shrimp cocktail appetizer and the shrimp were so big that it took two bites to eat them. We both had the grilled swordfish and it was cooked to perfection and seasoned with pepper and lemon. The orders came with a good-sized salad, choice of starch and choice of veggies. The fresh bread was served with a nice, seasoned oil. We were too full to order dessert but the menu looked very inviting. Their wine list was surprisingly varied and reasonably priced. The wait staff found that perfect mix of checking on us a few times, but not to the point of distraction or annoyance. Cristina was our waitress and she did a great job! I would definitely eat here again!

The food is very good. Coffees are good as well. The downside, it is a small place. This place can be busy for breakfast with a line out the door to order. Once you order, you then find a seat. Seating is inside (small) and outside or upstairs. However, there isn't a lot of seating -- consider taking your food to go.Getting your coffee can take a little bit of time before you go to your seat. The wait was reasonable. The staff will bring you your food but you have to order it downstairs. Remember to bus your plates after you are done.
