I was happy that a new restaurant opened in my neighborhood. \r
I visited Christie's several times after they first opened around the autumn of 2006 and each time I was disappointed with my meal. I gave Christie's several opportunities because I really wanted to support a good restaurant in my neighborhood. Each experience was a disappointment due to service or to food.\r
I will say that their ""breakfast special"" is a very good value and that the quality of the bacon is excellent. As a result, I have dined there several other times. Recently I was there with my wife on a Saturday morning. There were a couple of tables with customers finishing their meals and we were the only new patrons and expected to receive our breakfast in a short time. We watched as another group of diners came in with a party of 4-6 people, waiting to be seated, meanwhile the manager/waitress continued to chat with diners and paying no attention to seating this group of people. I was surprised at how long theses people waited before someone came from the kitchen area to seat them.Meanwhile, we continued to wait for our meal, and other diners came in. My wife had an appointment downtown so there was a limit to how long we could wait for our meal and after 25 minutes of waiting for breakfast we asked our waitress about our meal. Finally, after we were there for just over 30 minutes, the food began coming out and was served to a couple who had come in just ten minutes earlier. At this point, we got up and left the restaurant, while there was no attempt by the manager to stop us or apologize for the horrible service.Christie's is a complete disappointment and I will never diner there again.
Pros: Clean
Cons: Service and food
