Let me just say, it is not what we were hoping for.We, like many others had heard the buzz around Christopher's for many years, so last night we finally decided to try it.Service was good, drinks were great, food was the real weak point.Nothing we had was amazing, it was all about average or below.
I wouldn't recommend the chicken veloute.We both got it and had similar opinions.It's asparagus on the bottom, mashed potatoes on that, a thinly sliced piece of chicken on the potatoes and then a butter sauce with pieces of crab on top of the chicken.The asparagus was good & the potatoes were very lumpy (which I like but not everyone does).The chicken is where it went down hill.It was tough, like a pork chop and had a grease flavor.The butter sauce was good but the crab meat was questionable.The menu said it was 'king crab' but there was no way of actually knowing that because it was shredded up and reminded me of imitation crab.Our waitress (Jennifer) was great and really the best part of our experience. We got the onion rings for an appetizer and they were good. I'm not sure I would go again but they may have other dishes that are good.
A staple of Des Moines.Always excellent food and terrific service.I've never had a poor experience here
