Restaurant Christine

What a lovely gem! Came here with mother and wife on a Saturday for lunch and were really impressed by the food. The fried oyster po boy was something out of this world! I never knew you could have such good po boy outside of Louisiana 😉 Wife ordered the lamb gnocchi which was also very delicious! 😋 We also ordered a warm beet salad and a cannoli which we liked as well. Their lunch menu is quite reasonable.
And their proximity to Green Lake makes this place an ideal fueling station after your run or biking tour.
😄

Appetizers were grilled tuna and asparagus salad.
The tune came with a very tasty mix of greens, onion small tomatoes and dressing.
Very yummy.
Mains were rabbit, spring halibut and pasta with shrimp.
Each dish was perfectly cooked.
So many restaurants overcook the seafood but these were perfect.
The menu is always changing by the season has many interesting dishes.
Service was superb.
Great wine recommendation.
I want to note how accommodating they were for the small child with us.
Special cup and beanie baby to take home! A truly wonderful meal.
We have been eating here since it opened a few years ago and it continues o be excellent.

Are you tired of fancy wannabe Seattle restaurants serving expensive yet does not worth eating type of food? Then Christine is the right place for you to eat.
Each dish deserves the price and also an applause.
Some of the menu items might have unfamiliar flavors that makes the experience even better.
Cooking techniques and inclusion of vegegtables are perfect. Elk Osso Bucco/ Even better than mine and many others' grandmas recipes.
Not gamy at all and truly slow cooked to perfection. Escralo Salad/ Wilted well made, flavors of garlic and olives create an impressive harmony. AK Coho Salmon/ I was thinking I figured the best marination and cooking techniques for salmon.
But I would love to hold a candle for this one.
This is rare find as a salmon dish in Seattle. Beef Liver/ I grew up in Istanbul, eating home cooked liver and always loved it.
It is really hard to find these special delicacies in PNW.
They know what they are doing at Christine, best liver in town. The last and maybe the most important detail is the vibe at Christine.
It is QUIET!!! Somehow there are yellers wherever you go/ People talk so loud, I believe many have hearing problems that they are not aware of.
Christine's clients are talking softly. This might be the longest review I have ever written.
Restaurant Christine deserves to be talked about.
