I really wanted to give this restaurant four stars, but that would feel too generous—three stars is more accurate.
Overall, the restaurant could use a refresh. The interior feels dated, with very dark, dim colors, and it’s easy to drive right past without noticing it. Inside, there’s nothing particularly memorable, and the piano lounge area especially feels stuck in another era.
The food is hit or miss. The steaks are generally very good, and the prime steak is excellent. However, the seafood and à la carte vegetable dishes are more of a three-star experience at best. The calamari was a major disappointment. For $23, it shouldn’t be dry, tough, and chewy—unfortunately, that’s exactly what it was.
I did mention the issue to the waiter. I’m not sure there was much he could do, but service-wise he still received a 20% tip from me.
All in all, there are plenty of other fine-dining options that offer a better overall experience.

The food was pretty good. The crab cake and the grouper bites were the star of the show. I got the boneless ribeye and my steak was cooked perfectly. The bread on the table is excellent and fresh I just wish they had brought more. There were 6 of us and they only brought one loaf and when we asked for more they kept saying it was coming but never came. The creamed corn, Brussel sprouts and lobster Mac and cheese was also really good. The service was okay, after he brought the food he never came back to check on us and we wanted split checks but the server never asked us and felt a little irritated that he had to split it in the end. Overall I would rate the experience a 4 1/2.

Absolutely everything here is delectable. The warm bread and butter would melt in your mouth. The calamari was delicious. The fried sea bass starter was extremely tasty, as was the seared tuna.
Of course, when the steak arrived, we had high expectations: these were once more surpassed and we were amazed by the quality and flavor of the steaks.

Absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment we walked in the staff were fantastic.
I WISH I remember our waiters name because he was amazing. Very friendly and helpful, went out of his way to ensure we had the best experience. Especially when it came to my lack of knowledge about drinks, I randomly picked one (I probably would have hated) and he took the time to ask what I generally drink to be able to recommend something else and he was on point!
The food was amazing! My boyfriend “doesn’t like steak” but definitely enjoyed the filet I ordered. Turns out he likes good steak. He very much enjoyed his chin tuna also
We went for my 30th birthday and they made sure to make it special.

Last time we went there it used to be Del Friscos, so its been a while. We had one drink at the bar before dinner, and our bartender Chip was really cool and gave us a “generous” pour.
We were then seated at a booth in the section opposite of the bar/piano. My wife and I are not big people, and the booth felt really tight and not comfortable to sit at.
Our server Jerry was extremely attentive, very professional, and with great recommendations. The food runners were also very attentive and kept our water refilled constantly.
Now, the reason for the 3 star review is the food. Ill start by saying that the filets were delicious and perfectly cooked, but thats it. The sides all fell flat, as you can tell they weren’t fresh, and no attention to details on plating. The lobster bisque should’ve just been called, a bisque. Where’s the lobster?
The potatoes were like cement, the creme spinach wasn’t appealing, and the side of angel hair pasta, besides the fact I explained I had a garlic allergy, came out full of garlic. They then just brought me cooked pasta.
Our server did feel bad and comped us desert, my wife went with their giant orange cake, and I opted for the creme brulée which was fantastic! Overall, if you spend over $200 on dinner, id expect much higher food quality, and a much quieter atmosphere, as it gets really loud in there.

The service is top notch. Eduardo took fantastic care of us. Their lobster is flown in from Southern Australia. It’s too good to actually exist. The Ahi Tuna, crab cakes, and lobster bisque are all 10/10. My prime Strip Steak was phenomenal! Cannot wait to go back!!!

Went for the first time with my girlfriend to celebrate our 1 year anniversary and I am so happy I picked this place. To start off everyone was very happy and greeted us. The food was amazing and the service was top notch. Jaime was our waiter and he did a phenomenal job as did the guy who filled our water and boxed our food and the woman who brought our food. This is a top tier place A+ all day! Thank you !

We went here for our first time for our 27 year wedding anniversary. We had heard of the place, so we were expecting great things.
We had a reservation for 7:15 and got there about 25 minutes early. No problem we were seated right away. Our waiter who was Anthony was great. Made a few suggestions which we had and they were delicious.
Overall our whole experience and time here was wonderful. Officially my wife and I’s new favorite restaurant.

I’ve been to MANY, if not all, the steakhouses in Orlando/Central Florida including Morton’s, Shulas, Eddy Vs, Counsil Oaks, Del Fiscos, Capital Grill, Delmonicos, among some others, and I must say Christner’s Prime Steak & Lobster was top pier and in its own category of absolutely phenomenal for its food AND service! Luigi was awesome including the other staff that serviced us last night. The atmosphere was so fun as well. A good reminder of NYC when I visited there and ate at Sparks Steakhouse! Can’t wait to visit again soon!
