The food was excellent. We ordered the lunch crab cakes, Cajun chicken sandwich, Caesar chicken wrap, and the salmon. It was all very good. The service was too, and the food came out fast. We were very happy. Their menu looked great. There was lot of seating space inside and outside. There was ample parking. The prices were reasonable. We would come again.

Overall great experience. Food, service and Ambiente outstanding. Decent portions, great value for the money. Better than any chain restaurant by far. Love the concept and menu options

Pleasant surprise! First time visiting Cristof’s and it was great with only a few criticisms. We sat outside which was wonderful - a bit noisy but great nonetheless. James, our waiter, was a pro with a great sense of humor. We had calamari as an appetizer which was unusually tough but the marinara sauce was excellent. Our entree was the Seafood and Spaghetti. It was delicious. Again, the marinara sauce was outstanding. Full bar and some nice drink options were available. We will return, just not for the calamari. 😊

I'm slapping them with a 4.8 ⭐️. This was a last-minute plan while running errands in Ft. Myers. First time here and it was a great experience. Our server/ bartender Betty was amazing until we got our bill... J/K 😂
Got some fresh bread to start and it was crispy on the outside and soft inside with a side of olive oil and herbs. We needed two it was that good. I ordered the Rossutti special (I know I butchered that). It had linguini with shrimp, mussels, chicken and Italian sausage in a "I forget the name" sauce. My only gripe is it had alittle too much Italian sausage for my liking. Wife ordered the Southern Bouillabaise which had shrimp, mussels and scallops in a seafood Cajun broth. It was a very light but satisfying dish. For drinks, tropical martini for the wife and I got the toasted coconut martini. Both were good but mine was much better 😁 Finished the night with the chocolate cake which was creamy, smooth and moist. Alittle heavy on the chocolate taste but the whipped cream helped to tone it down a bit. Overall great experience and service. We'll be back...

Lovely sitting outside yesterday to eat. Nice breeze and very comfortable in the shade. Food was delicious. Had the crab cakes with mixed greens and a nice light lemon dressing. Crab cakes yummy! My friend had the chicken salad & fresh fruit. Service was great.
Chris Haynes
Really great food. The steak was tender and juicy and cooked perfectly. Potatoes and veggies were hot. The fish and chips comes with a huge piece of fish. Very tasty. Our server, Jennifer, was very friendly, always smiling, very pleasant. Our meals came out really quick as well. Great experience overall.
The parking is tight, but we did find a spot, even on a Friday evening.

First time here and this place did not disappoint! The service was warm, personable and inviting. We got greeted right away and sat. Our server was excellent and never missed a beat. We started off with the English Clam chowder. Homemade. Tasted excellent and smooth! Then we shared a citrus shrimp salad that was possibly the best salad I’ve ever had. Perfect balance of flavors. I can’t wait to go back when it cools down and sit down.

Beautiful place for a casual evening out. Food is usually very good. I had the lasagna for the first time and unfortunately it was way to salty. Great place with many options of where you want to sit. Inside, on a covered porch or on the big patio out front with each table under an umbrella with lots of beautiful plants around and over head twinkling lights. Definitely recommend this place!
David Hintzman
We love this place! The chef is A+!!!
Crab cakes, Blackened Scallops, Fish of the Day, even the bread & oil is excellent! The outdoor veranda is great to enjoy dinner on, especially during a sunset.

After passing this restaurant so many times over the years, stopped in at 3:30. Not crowded, by the time we left every table was full. Greeted by host who seemed angry. She did not want to be there. Server , name starts with B, was not happy either. Not attentive to us. Food was good. Ordered shrimp and grits. Grits were thin and runny. Shrimp was tasty. Also had a shrimp entree over pasta. Again, very good, but not great. I won’t be returning. Not a great experience for my first time
Michelle Becker
Delicious food, attentive service. Everything priced 20-30 dollars. Interior a bit dated but had charm. I would recommend. The scallops were cooked perfectly and I highly suggest the lobster raviloi... you get 5 ravioli in a rich creamy sauce.

Very charming restaurant with history in Fort Myers. Great for celebrations or just a night out. Food is always delicious. Large outdoor eating space. Full bar, friendly staff.

I have been here a few times with family. Always delicious. Quality. Nice portions. This time ordered the 8 ounce fillet mignon as take out and it it definitely did not disappoint. Cooked to perfection. Atmosphere really nice patio with space warmers. Along with more out door seating on the porch. Home like interior with a casual bar in the back room. Will be back again soon!

I've lived in SWFL for 3yrs and this was the first time dining here. It was all fantastic. The food was amazing, hands down.
The only thing that didn't sit right with me was the stuffed mushroom appetizer. I was expecting about 3 decent sized mushrooms. But $15 for 1 mushroom didn't sit right. It was delicious, don't get me wrong, but I expected more for the price.
Mary Holstine
Nice local restaurant with a great Florida vibe! Went there for dinner with friends and we all enjoyed our food and the overall atmosphere. Good flavors and fresh ingredients. Portions were generous. Entree options include steaks, seafood, pork & chicken specialties and much more. Loved the gumbo soup! Large heated patio available. Open for lunch too.
Elizabeth sterner
Excellent meals except my filet mignon was medium well not medium rare. We sat on the inside porch which was relatively quiet which worked well for my father who uses hearing aids. Our server was excellent and we enjoyed our visit. This was our fourth visit and the first time we sat inside.

Cristof's on McGregor in Fort Myers, FL, is nothing short of a culinary oasis, and their scallops with key lime risotto dish is a testament to their exceptional expertise. As a seafood lover, I can wholeheartedly say that this meal stands out as one of the most exquisite I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying.
Nestled in a charming setting, Cristof's on McGregor exudes an air of sophistication and warmth that sets the tone for a memorable dining experience. The service was impeccable, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who were more than happy to accommodate any requests or provide recommendations.
But the true accolades go to the scallops with key lime risotto. The perfectly seared, plump scallops were cooked to absolute perfection, with a delicate, melt-in-your-mouth texture that left me longing for more. The succulent morsels of scallop were expertly paired with a key lime risotto that was nothing short of fantastic.
The risotto, creamy and rich with just the right amount of key lime tang, provided a beautiful counterpoint to the natural sweetness of the scallops. Each mouthful was a delightful dance of flavors and textures, creating a harmony that was both exhilarating and comforting. The dish was garnished with microgreens and a drizzle of citrus-infused oil, adding a touch of elegance and an extra layer of flavor to an already stunning creation.
The scallops with key lime risotto at Cristof's on McGregor is a culinary experience that should not be missed. It is a flawless combination of fresh ingredients, expert technique, and inspired flavor pairings that will leave you savoring every last bite. This dish has set a new benchmark for seafood dishes in my book, and I eagerly anticipate returning to Cristof's to explore the rest of their menu. A well-deserved five stars for a truly remarkable dining experience!

This was our first visit and it did not disappoint! The employees were friendly, caring and knowledgable. Our food was delicious. We were so full and satisfied but ordered a piece of key lime pie to share. It was truly the best I have ever eaten. The graham cracker crust was perfect. When we visit Fort Myers again we will be sure to stop in again.

I had the breaded pork chop. The first time I had this it was excellent, about 3 years ago. The second time was over cooked and dry, a year latter, Then this past Wednesday only to be disappointed again to eat over cooked and dry breaded pork chop again. After reading some of the other post, it seems that they need to train or hire better cooks.....you should not have to cut your meal with a chain saw!!!!!
Brandon Banks
I dine at cristof's quite often, and it's amazing. Their food always taste fresh and homemade. I highly recommend the fresh salmon or the NY strip on the dinner menu. For lunch the burgers are great. Staff is amazing, every time I go I get Molly as my waitress. She always makes me feel at home and provides great service. :)

W. O. N. D. E. R. F. U. L. All of it. The food, service, and atmosphere. A very, very lovely place. I love to go there. I have never had a bad meal there. I brought out of State guests there for the first time and they were so impressed. Will definitely go back again and again.
Mike Heare
Over priced, I was with a medium size party, 30 minutes to get a drink order, we all ordered, I was the only one to add a salad. Got it with the bread, never got my dinner until it was pointed out. No one checked on us, asked if another drink was wanted. Very poor service at a very high price. Finally got my meal, then offered a cocktail for the party, all to little to late. Find some other place to go, and it's a shame, it's right down the street from my home.
Frankie Molina
Incredibly delicious brunch, 2-4-1 Mimosas and Bloodies, and an incredibly friendly staff. Can't wait to go back next week! Sitting on the porch was hot but worth every second! Our server, Tina, rocked the house!!!
Barbara Tomalino
The food was great but the server was the worst! She seemed completely out of touch with reality. Came to the table often but with nothing in her hand; forgot water, forgot bread, brought wrong drinks and one at a time, said that "the special has a lot of stuff that I won't tell you"...?. When we mentioned any of this she kept saying "yeah, I know", but never made anything right. Unbelievable! We will go again but will not let the same server wait on us.
Patty Krupp
We had the crab cakes for an appetizer and they were cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious! We decided to indulge in desert that night and ordered the chocolate cake. It was a slice of heaven! It was delicious chocolate cake with smooth fudgy chocolate frosting coated with mini-chocolate chips. Perfect with a cup of coffee!
Denny Hammermeister
Great food and great service
It just a great place to eat, drink and be happy!
Ken Martin
All their food is excellent and their bread is to die for. The servers are all personable and very attentive to detail. Cristof is a "hands on" owner and can be seen sometimes pitching in on the front end at the bar bussing glasses and helping the staff fill orders.
Laura DuBeau
Just so-so. Overpriced, ala carte, very little choice of good wine, noisy, absolutely zero interaction with owner. Too many other good restaurants in South Fort Myers. I went as a guest for a birthday celebration, I would not have picked Cristof’s.
William Prysi
Useless menu, no prices. How can you really consider N online menu without prices. Get real
Susan Ann Sonnenberg
We go there quarterly for a business meeting and it always is a great place to go. Yesterday we had our meeting and lunch was mostly enjoyed by all. Myself and another lady ordered the panini lunch special. I listened twice to the list of ingredients and never heard that the mayonnaise was spicy mayonnaise. I ordered it as stated. The other lady did the same but requested no onion. Our sandwiches came and it tasted great till a few bites in we both thought why is our mouth on fire? I ate mine as is but my friend sent hers back because of the spicy mayonnaise and it had onions which she didn’t want. My one suggestion is to state if an ingredient is spicy. Otherwise the staff was very friendly and accommodating. I loved the creamy homemade potato salad!
Matt Thome
Great atmosphere! Got seated right away. The appetizers were great as was my steak. The only complaint I have is that the server brought the wrong drinks, which was fine because we liked what he brought, but I would rather have him write it down and get it right instead of trying to memorize it and get it wrong. Overall a great experience!
Maria Bonetti
Every time we come to Fort Myers, Cristof's is our favorite go to Italian restaurant. There hasn't been a dish we haven't liked. Portion sizes are more than enough, service is excellent, servers are always courteous, and you definitely get what you pay for! The added bonus is when Cristof comes out to say ," hello"! We're very picky about our Italian food, and we encourage all to try this establishment out!
Michele L Adams
Amazing entrees, service and atmosphere!! All good things to say about Cristof's. I had a mojito that was delicious!!
Vicki Schoonover
The ambience outside is awesome. Service was wonderful. I thought the food was just ok. I had a chicken entree and my husband had the lasagna. Both were mediocre. And pricey. Salads do not come with the entrees. Not sure if we will go back.
Cheryl Youngbricker
My Husband & I went for early Supper the other day.. loved it! The Cobb salad was wonderful, husbands Burger Excellent👍 I also ordered side meatball... that fed Both of us!! Wonderful serve as well... thank you for a very enjoyable dinner date 💕
Steve Otton
Great food, great service, wonderful staff, do not miss having a meal here!
Rick Difonzo
Never again. Decent, vastly overpriced food in a nice setting, BUT the chef is a tyrant. The wait staff works in fear of being fired for the slightest thing. We wanted to switch out the chips in the fish and chips for risotto, you know, RICE? The server told us there'd be a charge. It was $11. ELEVEN DOLLARS!! This was simply the chef punishing us for messing with his creation. The "jerk" calamari was flavor free. Pasta in marinara was less than stellar to be polite. A chef with an attitude THAT crappy needs to have WAY better food to make it worthwhile. This was like the soup Nazi only without the amazing soup. NEVER AGAIN.
Jan Brown Girard
The food was very good. Our waitress was excellent and had quite a very personality which we all enjoyed.
Dee Merritt
So happy they are close, friendly and consistent good food, drink and atmosphere
Gary Locke
Great food, Great atmosphere!! Lasagna best ever. Try the orange pie as well. Outstanding!
Chase Harrison
Amazing place for an amazing dinner. It is a must go to for a nice night out.
Jody Holian Knack
From start to finish everything was just delicious! Loved the Lemon Drop Martini too!

Visiting from out of town and we stumbled across this gem. I'm pretty sure they were about to close yet, we were waited on and not rushed at all (Dave was a great waiter). Divine cooking, GREAT service, and nice atmosphere. Fried Green tomatoes, Shrimp & Grits, & Creme Brûlée �
