Christner's Prime Steak & Lobster

Food was excellent, service was good. Very cold and loud in restaurant at least where we were seated.

Christner's is expensive but once in a while it's worth it to splurge because the food is great and if you sit in one part of the restaurant, there pleasant piano music on certain days.

Our favorite steakhouse for years. Our go to for family celebrations and anniversary. Our server, Terry (if I heard correctly), was kind, professional and provided amazing service. The two younger staff assisting Terry were both friendly and quick to refill drinks, bring fresh bread, and clear our table. This is the best steakhouse in Orlando for many reasons. It is high end but welcoming and kind. Leftovers are plentiful. Dessert is a must (the orange cake!). We will continue to recommend this restaurant for years. Thank you for always giving our family the best experience.

I had the Filet Mignon and it and it was delicious.

Christner's Prime Steak & Lobster is fantastic — a locally owned gem with a classic supper club atmosphere, complete with a lively piano bar. The food, service, and overall dining experience are consistently exceptional. If you haven't been yet, definitely add it to your list. It's an excellent choice for date nights, special occasions, group dinners, and private events. They're usually packed, so making a reservation in advance is highly recommended.

I’ve been to Christner’s twice. The first time was for my law school graduation dinner, and the experience was excellent. We were seated in a semi private area, the atmosphere felt intimate, and the restaurant made the occasion feel special.

Unfortunately, my second experience was deeply disappointing.

My husband, son, and I came for dinner immediately following our civil ceremony. We had gotten married just hours prior, and this was meant to be a very intimate celebration for the three of us. I made this clear both when booking and again when I called ahead. My husband is an active duty service member of 16 years and was in his full Marine Corps dress blues, so I expected a bit more thoughtfulness around the seating arrangement given the significance of the occasion.

Instead, our table was not ready when we arrived, and we were eventually seated in a busy corridor with little to no privacy. Throughout dinner, we were interrupted repeatedly by people approaching to thank my husband for his service. While kind and well intentioned, it completely changed the tone of what was supposed to be a quiet, intimate evening for our family.

To be fair, the owner and several staff members were warm and gracious, and the pianist playing a beautiful song for us before we left was incredibly thoughtful. The issue was not the staff overall. Whoever handled the seating arrangements simply dropped the ball.

The entire experience felt surprisingly inconsiderate for a restaurant known for hosting milestone celebrations. We ended up rushing through dinner, and I was so uncomfortable I could barely eat. We didn’t even get the chance to take photos there on our wedding day, which honestly still makes me sad to think about.

We enjoyed my husband's birthday experience very much. As before the steak as well as the tuna appetizer were wonderful. Lobster bisque soup full of lobster pieces and very flavorful. Free dessert chocolate cake a special surprise.

This was my first visit to Christner's Prime Steak and Lobster restaurant. The food and service was outstanding. Our server Anthony was exceptional. The issue was it was so noisy. They sat us in the piano room right in front of the piano and it was loud. You could not have a conversation with anyone at the table. I understand they have better seating else where where it is more quiet. The decor is very dated and not my style.

Bartender tried to seat someone else and looked at our group and said hope they finally leave after being there for maybe 20 minutes. Servers think they know better than customers on what they like. Very disrespectful night from all of staff. Food is still great though.

We had an amazing time at Christner’s Prime Steak & Lobster tonight celebrating my birthday. Our server, James💗, was phenomenal and took excellent care of us. The steak and orange cake were amazing, and we loved the chateau potatoes too. What a lovely night with great food and top-notch service.

This place is a little pretentious, but our waiter was great and the food was awesome. Just plan on making a car payment to pay for the meal. Also, we had reservations and still had to wait 20 minutes.

When it came time to celebrate our 30th Anniversary I knew exactly where I wanted to go. The great steaks, atmosphere and service are always second to none. To put things over the top we had the Famous Orange Cake. Such a wonderful meal every time. Thanks for making our special evening so wonderful.

Classic steakhouse experience.
Food and ambiance were amazing. Table side magic was a nice touch.
