"The restaurant is usually packed every time we drive by. Hey! we should go there and try it out was our thought on this evening. So we did. The ambiance of the restaurant was great. There was music playing throughout the restaurant at a noise level that you can easily converse without feeling like you are yelling over the music. We were seated promptly at the time of our reservation. The hostess seated us with food menus however she just laid down the bar menu without an explanation as to what they were. Our server was prompt and brought out our food in a timely fashion. My food was terrible while my guest food was okay . The dish I ordered was the Cajun chicken/sausage/shrimp pasta. The chicken in my dish was not freshly grilled seasoned chicken nor was the shrimp. The chicken I was served tasted like it was boiled three days ago frozen and reheated without seasoning, just bland, tough, and rubbery. The entire dish was drowning in sweet Ragu sauce. There was no smokey Cajun spice to the dish at all. To add insult the dish was garnished with Texas toast, not homemade herb buttered Texas toast but the kind you get from Walmart in a box from the freezer isle. A huge thumbs down. Why they didn 't use the fresh sliced french baguette that was brought to the table while we waited for our food as the bread for the garlic bread blows my mind. I would recommend the most basic Cajun spice recipe 1 part cayenne pepper, 1 part garlic powder, 1 part onion powder, 1 part paprika, 1 part salt, 1 part pepper, pinch of chili powder for smoke flavor, mix together and season meat and sauce liberally) and a fresh garlic spread recipe minced garlic, butter, italian seasoning, salt and pepper-mix in a bowl and spread on the bread- toast for 4-7 minutes) Instead of Ragu sauce use heavy cream, a dollop of tomato paste and chicken broth for the sauce. I should have cook at home this night! We wont be back."

"a very happy afternoon. christopher was friendly enough to open last Saturday for lunch so that our graduate could celebrate in style and he ever did. we all. there were some big parties throughout the restaurant and everyone seemed to come at the same time. we were a little insecure, I admit how it would be. it could not have been better, at least of what we could say. our experience was amazing. the personal was like watching a finely tuned orchestra. our server was great. he has a crack for details and treated us like license, while a pretty amusing but appropriate amount comedy. when our food came, all the servers suddenly came together as a unit and served each of us exactly what we ordered. I remember that this type of dingen is one of the magic details of eating in paris and new york with my parents as being child. this kind of dingen makes them feel like a person, not just another face with their food auctioned to them. Eat. that was amazing. we didn't know until we arrived that the steaks hormon and antibiotics are free, the huh is free, the seafood is wild and will be served within hours of being caught. it makes a big difference and we feel that it secures the prices. My man and my children said that every future steak dinner elsewhere will be a lack of fun experience, unless we are at b. christopher’s, or more steakhouses take this approach and then rival this excellent service ethics. we were stunned that the gratulation was not included when the bill arrived. the waiter told us that the tipp was our business when we told him he forgot to add it. my 76-year-old mother was more confused than we. perplexing and refreshing. this place has the right ideas when it comes to good, to earth service and exceptional treatment/evaluation of its guests. we tapped accordingly, and it felt nice for a change to have this choice. we left the feeling, proud of not only our degree, but with a new proud of greensboro. mr. russell lifts the bar up and sets a new example to be proud of a job that is well done."
