We have been going to Christophers for many years, starting well before the name change from Christophers American Bar and Grill. We absolutely loved it. We even did a NYE there that might have been one of the best NYE dinners and experiences I have ever had (this is quite a few years ago now).
I must say, the last 3 or 4 times it just feels like it has slipped -- each time, enjoying the experience just a little less. Both my wife and I expressed it nearly at the same time after our most previous visit on 08/11/2024.
I learned how to make martinis from a fantastic bartender at Christophers on our very first visit there. Since then, I have always discussed drinks and such with their bartenders. In fact, we like our martinis a certain way because of that bartender and always enjoyed talking to the Christopher bartenders about it. The last few visits I have found the bartenders far less engaging and borderline rude. The two on Friday (not busy at all -- around 17:45 or so) would not engage at all and if looks could kill, I would not be writing this. I can understand if it were busy, but they were NOT busy at all.
Once seated and ordering, we asked if there would be any way that we could get the mac n' cheese as a side. The answer was a definitive "no". They could remove the lobster and serve the main, but would not serve it as a side. Why not?
We ordered the most expensive glass of red they had at £26/glass. It was 125ml! I didn't even know they served that size in London. I assumed it would be 175ml. What made it frustrating was the menu I ordered it off of -- the bar menu that they gave us in addition to the wine menu when we were seated -- didn't say it was 125ml. I pointed it out to the waiter and his first response was that the wine menu states that it is 125ml and was hesitant to do anything. In the end, they did make it 175ml.
Finally, the food seems it has gone from excellent to mediocre. The steak we had was very average.
