Greek food can get very heavy, but Christos does everything with a light touch. Their calamari is very unusual and delicious. They offer excellent combination platters so you can experience different Greek dishes. Their soups are usually very special treats.

Great ambiance, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and the food reminds me of when I was in Cyprus. I always enjoy their calamari and avegelemeno soup most, but it should all be sampled. I have tried the other Greek restaurants in town, but this is the only one that recreates the actual Mediterranean flavor.

  • Pros: Great food with a nice atmosphere--perfect for casusal dinning or a night out
  • Cons: None that I can see

As a Greek myself (with a grandmother who was a very noted chef in the Mediterranean), Christo's is where I go for my Greek fix. The food is always fresh, ingredients like the yogurt are made in the House -- and therefore are like nothing you'll get anywhere else. Full of flavor, spiced like only a Greek can do it, this food is interesting, satisfying, and often good examples of Greek "comfort food." The staff is fantastic, the owners make you feel like you're one of the family -- it's a place I always think of as my Minnesota taverna! Those who criticize this wonderful place may not know Greek food -- it's one of the great restaurants in the Twin Cities at any of the three locations (although Minneapolis has a special charm).

Food was amazing and authentic, great selection of wines, unbelievable desserts, fun atmosphere - the Greek restaurant to go to in the Twin Cities. Compared to overpriced, Americanized and greasy Santorini, Christos is a Greek paradise.

  • Pros: Great food, authentic Greek, nice decor, friendly service, great value, good wine list
  • Cons: is sometimes overcrowded

In Short
Whitewashed walls, greenery and posters of picturesque Greece create an inviting backdrop for the tasty Mediterranean cuisine. That local foodies love Christos as much as bargain-hunters attests to the quality of the cooking. A starter sampler of hummus, pureed potatoes, roasted eggplant and cool tzatziki dips, served with warm pita slices, is perfect for sharing. The menu of dinner entrees seems endless, but favorites include hearty moussaka and spinach spanakopita in flaky phyllo pastry.

My wife and I have been eating at Christo's for years and we keep coming back. The food is consistently well prepared and the service is well-paced (neither rushed nor uncomfortably slow). I agree with the reviewers who comment that the atmosphere is a bit plain (try the St. Paul location for more ambience). Be sure to start with either a greek or village salad and a hummus appetizer. I enjoy trying the various Greek wines that are on always on the menu.

  • Pros: Good value, Great food

if you want to try greek food then this is one of the places that i would recommend you do that at. they have a wide variety of greek food to suit every palate. try the gyros they are very good.customer service is pretty good but leaves much to be desired.price is the usual worth a try.

Christo's is my favorite greek restaurant. It's nice enough for a celebration dinner yet casual enough to dine with your friends whenever you feel like it. Semi-open kitchen provides some entertainment too when cooks set something on fire. Not a single time did servers give me any reason to complain, they are always very accomodating and even larger parties are seated and served quickly. And food is authentic (many of our friends are Greek and they cook same stuff).

Try a little of everything. The flaming cheese was pretty cool, and it was good. This is a jeans and t-shirt kind of place. Although it has a deli feel to it, the food is always good, and the service is usually good.

PROS: Good food, relaxed atmosphere

CONS:

I was disappointed. Where is todays old world romance. You pick out the food, which was good. and the place looks like yesterdays deli. Just once I'd like to be able to get good food and a romantic ambience.
