Restaurant Christine opened its doors to the community nine years ago, serving a menu combining Chef Christine Brown's studies of traditional French method with her love for lively recipes of the Mediterranean and the Far East. Chef Christine, owner of Restaurant Christine, General Manager Claudia Molera, and Restaurant Manager Guy Conigliaro strive to create not just a restaurant but a warm and welcoming dining experience.

Fresh and exciting appetizers tease the palate into anticipation of delectable entrees, a feast for the eyes as well as for the mouth.
