We went for drinks and an appetizer. We ordered a cheese plate that was fantastic and included honey in the comb and various cheeses and fruits. Amazing. The ambiance as wonderful, wood, warm and friendly and the service was great. Chris was bartending and serving us. He was great. Attentive but not smothering. Great job. Give him a raise! Thanks!

We dined at J Christians tonight with a large party of very discerning foodies, and while the food was well prepared and presented, our waitress made our night! We can be rather raucous and demanding but Karen was one step ahead of us all night. From the moment we sat down she was able to make everyone feel like we... More

An atmospheric building with a decent menu and drink selection. The two best dining areas are downstairs and the the front upstairs - would not recommend the back area upstairs as it is dark and has a much lower ceiling.We ate there prior to a show at the Oakdale Theater and many of the other diners seemed to be headed...

This restaurant is so classy! The wait staff are very professional and attentive. I had the best calamari ever for an appetizer. For the main course, I was in the mood for comfort food and chose the fried chicken which was very good. My business colleages' dishes looked wonderful too! The dessert choices were so good - hard to pick!... More

I have been here a couple times with different businesses for lunch. The meals here are very good based on my experiences so far. However, the portions on some of the plates like the salmon are ridiculously small. I'm a skinny guy but even I was left hungry and wanting more after ordering the salmon for lunch. Don't get me...

very attentive service, I liked the bar set up - while it was not very crowded I would think the bar would be a fun hang out food was just average

Travelling through Wallingford and checked Tripadvisor for a place for dinner. Nice location, easy parking, a converted bank building. Good selection of food, very tasty too. Service was excellent.

I love the beautiful setting, the backlit stained glass. The owner has put a lot of love and care into this place and it shows. The menu changes from time to time, which I can't say for some of the other local restaurants. I have tried the short ribs and the shrimp and grits and loved them. I have tried... More

The atmosphere is beautiful and the food is delicious. Lots of different meals to choose from. Plenty of room to eat or just have a drink and appetizer. Great service and friendly.

Great atmosphere, food was tasty but not spectacular. For the prices, I was expecting a little more. It would be a great place for drinks.
