Here's What Some People Are Saying About  

Christina's Fireside Grille!

"Dear TJ [Restaurant Manager], Just a note to thank you for ordering the luncheon glazed salmon for me on Saturday after I ended up with the chicken on my salad, in error.  I really appreciate your kindness & generosity in making sure I was a satisfied customer.  (I always am!)  It was delicious!  My mom and I , as well as my friends, always enjoy dining at CFG.  The ambiance is unmatched and the food is terrific!  Hats off to you!  Please know how grateful I am to you for making my day!  With sincere appreciation, Lynn Kwarcinski", 2012

"We ate at Christina's tonight and want to give two thumbs up to our server, Ashley, and the new menu.  Ashley was fantastic -- knew the menu, was very attentive, and was so nice -- a real asset to Christina's.  Also -- love the new menu.  Tried the shrimp and sushi appetizer -- delicious.  Looking forward to trying other things on the menu (but what we wanted to try had meat and we're not eating meat on Fri during Lent).  We'll be back!!  Thanks!"

~ Maggie Stenman, Norfolk, 2012

"I just want to say thank you for a wonderful event.You were so easy to deal with.  You were attentive to detail.  Your staff that we worked with on Sunday was warm and friendly and made me feel like they realized how important the day was for my family and friends and especially my daughter and her fiance.  Food - Excellent!  Function Facility - Excellent!  and being in the Customer Service business myself - I always find this the most important aspect of the transaction. - RATED A TEN PLUS!  You created wonderful memories for my daughter, her future husband and my family and friends.  The event went off without a hitch, I never worried a moment that all would not be perfect and my dreams were realized."

"So it's 7:30pm on a Friday night, and I'm taking the girlfriend out.  Luckily we stumbled upon Christina's Fireside Grill, because the meal was amazing (And it's 5 min from where I live).  I noticed through Yelp that Christina's had already recieved excellent reviews, so when the hostess said it would be a 25 minute wait, I figured whats the harm.  Well one of the owners noticed my girlfriend and myself waiting to be seated and she came over and introduced herself and reassured us that it wouldn't be much longer,  I was very impressed and appreciated the gesture, it was nice seeing the owner mingle with the customers.  Tuscan Shrimp Scampi with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Baby Spinach & White Wine tossed with Fresh Linguini & Basil, cooked perfectly and right on time, no more than 10-15 minutes after our Lobster Cigars appetizer.  Delicious food and prompt service, amidst a spacious and rustic decorated dining area.  Ended the evening with Death By Chocolate Cake, which was superb.  All in all, a great experience and worth the visit.

Please thank everyone for us!"

~Ann McNeil & the Family of Edmund Strother, 2011

"...Just a quick thank you for the quality and care of everything you offer.  Love your newsletters and the great recipes you’ve shared. ... I hope Christina's remains in business a very long time.  It is one of our favorite places to to to eat.  Love the available music on the weekends.  Love the brunch on non-game days and the reasonable cost."

 ~ Elaine Murphy, Franklin 2011

"...I just brought the whole family for dinner Wednesday night and it was wonderful in all the ways a restaurant should be (good food, great service and a comfortable atmosphere).  The kids got a kick out of it since this was a "fancy" restaurant night out.  But I have to say that when we got the bill it was less than what we usually spend at [local chain restaurants]!  The fact that you include the drink and ice cream is outstanding."
~ Conrad Traut, Foxboro 2011

"Had a Wonderful Dinner on 8/20 (56th Birthday). I had the Prime Cut Prime Rib which was Great!!! Mashed potatoes excellent. My wife had the Pan seared scallops which were great and my son had the Steak Tips which he enjoyed. The waitress Danielle was very good! The Hosts Marjorie and Chris made us feel very welcome and we definitely will be back with friends." 
~ Richard Wetherbee, 2011 

 "...The Oven Roasted Herbed Haddock over shaved fennel, butternut squash, and french green beans with a lemon butter rosette was one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten!!! My compliments to the chef!! Fortunately, we sat near the open kitchen so I was able to express my delight directly to the chefs.  The service is so friendly and quick. Can't wait to go back!!!..."
~ Kate B., Norfolk, 2011

"...I have had the pleasure of dining at Christina's Fireside Grille on a few occasions since it opened.  You must try it!  The food, service and ambiance is outstanding.  The variation on the menu will keep you going back time and again, and the pricing is reasonable.  It's great to have them in the neighborhood..."
~Don Rodman, Rodman Ford, 2011

 "...I was in Christina's Fireside Grille the other night with my husband and we really had a great time!  The Lobster Chowder was AWESOME!  And the Pan-Seared Scallops were excellent and so nicely presented!  Our Server was really good as well - very attentive.  She kept checking on us to see if we needed anything which we appreciated.  We look forward to coming back!..."
~Sharon Stoller, Neponset Valley Chamber of Commerce, 2011

"...Had dinner at Christina's Fireside Grille last night - it was great and the food was delish!  I had the House Salad which was extremely fresh tasting and quite abundant in size for a "house mixed green"-type of salad.  My husband's French Onion Soup was very good as well.  The presentation of our entrees was very nice...and tasty too!  My Lobster Ravioli was delicious, and my husband LOVED the Spinazzola Steak Tips (but then again, who doesn't?).  The Broccoli Rabe was good, too!  At the end of our meal, my husband said "We definitely need to come back here again."  Oh!  And the staff!  Our Server was awesome.  She was so accommodating with my son and answered to each of our requests..."

~Liz Guilbeault, Norwood, 2011 

 

"...We had a great time at Christina's Fireside Grille the other night!  Everything was so good - especially the Artichoke-Spinach Dip!  A lot of restaurants have that type of appetizer these days - but this one is different from the others.  This is thicker, more  chunky - like you can taste the pieces of artichoke, the spinach, the bacon, and the rich cheese - so good!  And terrific pita chips - different than the normal ones!  These are really good!  And we also got the appetizer Sampler Platter.  Every single item on that plate - sauces and all - were so delicious!!  It was a nice size and we devoured it!  The Manager came to our table to check on us - which made us feel really good - like the restaurant really cares what their customers think.  We'll be back!..."

~Heidi Weber, Foxboro, 2011 

"...Really great food and great fun. Margie and Chris are wonderful hosts. It's more like a party in their home than a restaurant experience. Looking forward to our return trip..."             
                                                                                                                                             
~Suzanne Bump, 2011 

  "…I am a Walpole resident for 15 years and I have been in Christina’s more in the past three months than I ever have!!  I think I’m your biggest fan!  Nice to hang where you can actually get a seat at the bar with the chicks on a Thursday night, have a great dirty martini and see the owners!..."
~ Laurie Sylvia, Walpole, 2011 

“...Your Game Buffet this past Sunday was terrific! A great assortment of food for almost anyone’s taste buds combined with great service and big smiles. I will return!!!!!!!...”
