Cristof's on McGregor

I am leaving a 3 star review based on recent experiences. The food continues to be delicious and the atmosphere is lovely. But my last couple of visits have left me unhappy. We live in the area and are frequent diners at Cristof's. We visited 3 times in February in fact. Our last two visits have not been great and I'm frustrated as I recommend Cristof's often as a finer dining experience in Ft. Myers. During our last visit my 13 year old had oral surgery that morning. She wasn't up to eating much so we asked for just the children's buttered noodles plate. Our server, Bob, was fairly rude (I didn't feel that I needed to explain her medical situation to him) said that's only for 10 and under (he never asked how old she is) and he can bring her a side of noodles. We said ok. We got the bill and we were charged $16.95 for a plate of totally plain noodles. They didn't even have parmesan. This is absolutely ridiculous. In addition, I had to ask for our check after waiting 10-15 minutes for him to stop by. When he finally returned he tried to clear our table and I asked again for our check because we had been there for almost two hours and had somewhere else to be. It was just all around not what I expect at Cristof's. I have never been told at any restaurant that my child couldn't order off the kids menu. We didn't ask for a kids menu. Again, I didn't feel I needed to explain her medical situation but to be charged $16.95 for a plate of plain noodles I could cook for $1 is absurd and leaves a bad taste in my mouth. This coupled with the slow and inattentive service has me less likely to rush back for 3 visits next month. We love the food. We love the atmosphere. We love bringing people there. But this visit and our previous visit have us thinking about a pause. I reached out to the restaurant privately to give them a chance to respond. They did not so I'm moving to a public review.

Always a great experience when dining here I had the chicken Cajun alfredo and it was amazing.

A nice restaurant if you’re looking for a slightly more upscale dining. They have outdoor seating, which we sat in, we walked through the inside and it’s small but quaint. The prices are higher than your typical restaurant. The food was very good and high quality and fresh bread included with meal. The restaurant sits on a corner of a busy road and we were there on a Wednesday at 5pm so it was distracting and noisy at times. They seemed to have low staff that night, so we didn’t see our waiter for long periods of time but we were okay.

The food was delicious the one thing I didn’t like was I had to peel off the shrimp tails which caused my pasta to get somewhat cold in the meantime. I’ve never had a bad meal here. We sat outside and the atmosphere is wonderful.

Very nice place with a good menu. My wife has allergies to certain preservatives and the staff made certain that they didn't use them. Would go back. Dietary restrictions: Shrimp does not have bisulphites. Kid-friendliness: Has kids menu.

Stopped in for a quick lunch on the patio with our Yorkies in the stroller and it was so good. I had the citrus salmon and my husband had the fresh seared tuna. The greens were fresh and the fish was perfect. A wonderful lunch. So glad we tried it out.

It is a lovely place with a nice ambiance. The food is great. Service is great! What's not to like?

The food is always delicious. Ask about the specialty dishes. The service is great.

Unfortunately, our server was relatively new. Crisof's has always been a staple in Ft. Meyers. The food is still wonderful !!
