    First time dining there with friends that dine here often. Loved everything about it but especially that is owned by a family instead of a large corporation. Hands on service and the food was excellent. I'm so glad I made a reservation or we wouldn't have gotten in. It was packed. So glad they are thriving and we will be back!

    The place is nice, the food is really good at a decent price. The service was rushed, our waiter would ask us if we wanted something to drink, he wouldn't wait for us to finish ordeeing. And he did it several times throughout our visit.

    Probably one of the best restaurants in Orange County. Atmosphere is very charming and romantic and just very pretty. They have a really beautiful outdoor area so you have a chance to sit outside if you’d like with heaters the food is phenomenal. And the wait staff really takes care of you.

    As always, eating at Christakis is a treat and a pleasure. The owners and wait staff are cordial and will stop to chat if you have a question or comment. It's amazing how much great food comes out of their smallish kitchen area!
