Highlights at the restaurant range from the 21-day-aged USDA prime corn-fed beef, fresh seafood flown in daily from around the world, and organic locally sourced produce.
While Christopher's caters to a well-heeled clientele, it's no secret that everyone loves a deal. That's why the restaurant is especially popular for the early evening specials, which start at $17 per person for a three-course, prix-fixe meal.
Steaks and chops are always the big draw at Christopher's. The meat is sourced from small, local farmers, including the eight-ounce Manhattan strip steak (44 Farms, Texas), 12-ounce USDA prime "Baseball-Cut" sirloin (Niman Ranch, California), and 12-ounce Kurobuta pork chop (Newman Farms, Missouri) in an apple brandy barbecue glaze.
The pan-roasted chicken marsala, butternut squash ravioli, or chili-rubbed salmon are certain to catch the eye of those not eating meat.
