We went for the prefix Thanksgiving dinner. The quality of the food was excellent and the service was wonderful. I love the restaurant. The downside was that it wasn't clear to me that it was buffet style until I got to the restaurant. The buffet area was small and hard to maneuver through with the heavy crowd. The other issue was the food wasn't hot, it was luke warm at best... potatoes cold. The taste and quality of the food was excellent. I would only do Thanksgiving there again if it was a prefixed menu and I was served at the table. With all of this said, every other time I go to this restaurant it's always excellent

Food is 5 star. Service is 5 stars. Everything is appropriate for a 5 star rating … except… one thing…. When I bring a special bottle of wine in for my birthday… don’t charge me $45 for a corking fee! $10 is standard. $25 is upper tier… $45 is stupid. Seriously that’s my only complaint. I go to Christos because it is superb quality. I am fine with paying more for high quality. But $45 for a corking fee… not reasonable.
