Kristine’s has amazing food and even better service. The bartender James is awesome! After just a couple of visits, he already remembers my standard drink and dinner order. Chandler is pretty great too, whoever is doing the hiring has a knack for choosing the right people. We go out to many restaurants in town, most have pretty good food. Kristine’s has the best service by a long shot.

Came here for brunch and loved the atmosphere and friendly waiting staff. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly and brought out our orders fast. The smoked salmon Benedict was delicious. The ratatouille was hot and full of flavor. The coffee was excellent! We had a great time!

What a lovely spot! Beautiful interior, very nice staff, and the food is delicious. Definitely recommend the Croque-Monsieur. Got it with French fries but the side salad is also wonderful. I will be back to try more of their food and drinks menu for sure.

The service was incredibly slow. For instance, we waited 10 minutes for our drinks, another 10 for our bread, and our server even forgot the side salad we ordered. That being said, I really wanted to give it a higher rating because the quality of the food was a solid 4.5; it was fresh, and well prepared. I would definitely recommend the Goat Cheese Salad and the Duck Leg Confit.

Got the croque mushroom sandwich with the side salad. It was very good, but oily (obviously with the cheese) so I was happy I got the salad since it cut through that nicely. Some of the salad was wilted so wish there had been a little more of it and fresher

We came here for the French Alps Dinner, which was a 3 course pre-fix menu. Overall, we had a great time and enjoyed the friendly atmosphere. The onion soup and tartiflette were yummy but the crème brûlée was a disappointment. The sugar on top was not melted properly, felt grainy, and was burnt in some areas.

Lovely French bistro. The food was delicious and the service was very good as well. Our corner table under the speaker was quite loud, so it was difficult for the four of us to hear each other.

Kristine’s serves a multitude of delicious appetizers, entrees, and drinks. My boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary here last Saturday (4/2), and we were swooning over the savory and everlasting flavors. We still cannot stop talking about the food.
