Christie`s Italian Seafood Grill in Howell

The food is always delicious and the service is exceptional. It's a favorite local restaurant that keeps coming back time after time.

Delicious food. Gracious staff. A neighborhood spot you can rely on.

The food here was excellent. It's a small cozy place. They specialize in seafood and Italian dishes. Highly recommended.

My husband and I ate here for his 65th birthday. The serviceand food were outstanding. Joe, the manager, on duty and ourserver, Becky, gave us their undivided attention the entire time.We definitely will be returning.

One of the best Italian restaurants I've been to!! Authentic Italian food and the kitchen will accommodate any special diets!!!

Delicious food! Friendly staff! Our waitress recited the specials which was alot by memory. She was really good!

Very good food. A little busy the night we were there

We had our son's baptism here and everything was perfect! The food was delicious & the service was excellent. Our guests couldn't stop raving about it all.

Nice atmosphere. Kinda pricey for the quality. Steak was so so, definitely not worth the price. But the seafood was absolutely worth it. So fresh, tasted amazing. If your going to go here stick with the seafood.

Great food, great service! Definitely going back!

My wife had the sea bass special which good. I had the seafood fra diavolo which had appsolutley no flavor. The sauce had no flavor at all.

We moved from North Jersey where we had no problem finding good Italian food. We were pleasantly pleased to have found this place. Great food, great service and a menu that will take years to fully experience. They serve the old school Italian and Sicilian dishes. You will not be disappointed !

Been there twice they really make you feel comfortable the food is outa this world love this place I will definitely be going back 👍Well I’ve been back and I’ve never had a bad meal I take other couples there on a regular we love the place they remember my name 🍷

Upscale dining. Prices are fair. Food is excellent. There was a point a couple years ago this place wasn't doing too hot. Not anymore! All better! Top shelf service and quality.

Food was fresh but do not go for lunch. Service was horrid. Waitress came by to take the order and drop the check. Really? Then they expect 20% nope I earn my money. So should you. The calamari was fresh. No doubt but over cooked. I ordered blackened tilapia salad. It was Cajun spiced and prolly cooked in a fry pan with way, way to much oil. Not one piece of it was blackened. I said something to the waitress and nothing was done about it. I did not eat it and was charged. I did not press the issue. My friends lobster busk was more of a cream of tomato that was thickened to a paste. Really upsetting. We paid for the WHOLE meal. We did not complain. The owner or manager asked how was our meal. After we paid and were walking out.We ignored him and walked out. If the manager does not know what’s going on with the food when there is only 2other people there, shame on them. Very disappointed in what was an overpriced debacle. Maybe dinner is better but we will not try it again.

Great service food average

We ate here two days in a row in a large group of people and the service and food were outstanding, which is why we came back the second day. The wait staff were very attentive and everybody in our party raved about the food. I had the Seafood Fra Diavolo both days because it was so good, tons of seafood with huge scallops and outstanding sauce! The bread must have been homemade and the rice balls were the best I’ve ever had, not dry like most places. And you won’t go home hungry, nice sized portions. We live 40 min away but I’d definitely make the drive again for a great dining experience. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, clean bathrooms, plenty of parking and it’s BYOB.

I think the food and service is excellent. Have been there many times.

Great Italian food. Staff was right on top of things all night. Awesome experience.

First-they give us a bad table. It is a freezing cold night and they put us by the window. My husband facing out and my back to cold air. If I walk in your restaurant, I should get priority for best seating. The dining room remained fairly open all night and we would have been stuck at a bad table had we not asked to be moved. You give the current customers the best tables, unless you have all other table reserved. Second-it took an hour to get our food and the dining room again was fairly quiet. The waitress never came over once after taking our order. The manager ultimately went and checked on our food. No real apologies or anything. Third, I asked to have the cheese cooked well on the chicken parm.....it was barely baked. Waitress not listening! Finally, the food is mediocre Italian at best...same old menu options as all other Italian spots nearby. I am not sure why this place gets these ratings!

We were meeting friends for dinner and picked a place in middle where we live. Did the reviews and we all loved this place! All of our meals were delicious...loved the wide variety of the menu. Our waitress and the staff were wonderful. Will definitely go back again!

This was second time dining at Christie's and my first time trying a risotto (from anywhere) and it was an excellent choice. The risotto porcini was fantastic - great flavor, large portion size, beautiful presentation. My date enjoyed the Steak Murphy although he needed to send it back once. He ordered it medium rare and it came out a bit too rare, nearly raw in the center. Also, he had inquired about the cut of steak when ordering, as it was not specified in the menu description, and was told sirloin though it ended up being a New York strip. Again the dish was flavorful and portion was plentiful. Overall it was a nice dining experience and I'm looking forward to another visit, perhaps I'll take advantage of the BYOB policy.

Super nice and helpful staff, food is delicious, even had chicken for a non fish eater like me. We have my mother in law's 89th birthday party there and they made it special.

The food was good but the service was outstanding. Great sense of humor and fun to talk to.

Consistently great food and service. Always on my mind to return, and great place for special occasions.

We five lady friends had New Year’s dinner at what used to be our favorite restaurant. The lobster bisque soup was half filled, so we sent it back for more. A second appetizer, shrimp cocktail, for which we paid extra $8.95 for four medium shrimps in addition to prix fixe $66, tasted bad and obviously were not fresh and they were left uneaten.The prime rib entree was prepared GRILLED, about a quarter inch thick, and served with tasteless grilled squash and potatoes. I HAVE NEVER IN FIFTY YEARS OF DINING, EVER HAD PRIME RIB GRILLED. It’s always been thickly sliced, roasted, and juicy, The extra au jus we requested on the side was brown gravy! Whata disappointment!Dessert and entertainment were fine.Christies is going to have to do better to keepits diners satisfied. I know a holiday prix fixedinner is usually not up to par, but ours last night for New Years Eve was a HUGE disappointment.Marlene Flemer

Excellent service, good food. A little pricey. Make a reservation on the weekend.

My server emily was great! Very friendly and fast! She helped with everything we needed. Thanks for the great food and great service.

Always an Excellent dining experience.

I ordered Mother’s Day family of two and it was absolutely amazing food thank you for making my day and my family as well.

Great food but would be even better if menu in fish selection was more extensive.

Amazing experience! Service was professional and quick food was absolutely outstanding! Definitely be back! Highly recommend

Very busy Sunday with several large parties going on. I didn't expect that. Anyway dinner was excellent and served fairly promptly. We had salads , dinner and dessert. All was very good. Food was displayed beautifully on the plates and tasted delicious. Sorry no pictures today.

Great food nice atmosphere

Christmas Eve special menu. Five courses. Clams casino had five good-sized clams, delicious pasta, Caesar salad and veal marsala plus dessert. Great service. There were 18 of us and our waitress handled our group almost completely alone. She was fabulous.

Amazing place for Italian food especially Sicilian delicacies such as panelle. I had the halibut special in a pistachio pesto sauce which was excellent. For appetizer I had the panelle dish which was amazingly good. They give you fine mineral water with your food. This place has a great selection of old school dishes mixed with more modern selections as well. Go here you won't be dissapointed at all.

The owner called me mexican for no reason

There was a Trump impersonator at the restaurant last night who was paid by a private party who then began circulating in the main dining room among diners who did not come to see him. It created a tense and uncomfortable atmosphere for my entire table. I asked him to walk away and he used his character as an excuse to be insulting and rude. When I gave feedback about this to the hostess with long black hair she shrugged her shoulders, didn't care, and became immediately defensive, dismissive, insensitive and talked over me, as she had her phone in hand and was in the midst of posting the Trump impersonator onto social media.The restaurant should have managed the situation better and apologized to dissatisfied paying customers.

Authentic Italian food and very good service.

We picked up a large order for my birthday. Everyone loved the food. I was so happy and so impressed. I will definitely be ordering again! Thank you!

Great food and service.

Loved it. Service good food is delicious

Went with my girlfriend for date night last night. First time there and we had shrimp cocktail, the horseradish crusted salmon and the Red Snapper and a side of Broccoli rabe. Food and service were excellent. The waitress/chef were able to accommodate our request for a lighter version of the food with less oil, and it was delicious! Prices were on par for what you get. BYOB is another plus. We will absolutely be coming back!

Food was wonderful. Service was great. I would definitely recommend this place again for any occasion. Thank you.

We have visited here several times. Over the years they have steadily raised their prices to the point where we don't visit as often. Being as they are a BYOB the resturaunt still does well. The food is good to very good all the time.

My husband and I took our 3 kids out to eat here on a fairly busy Sunday for them. They were very accommodating, all 5 of us enjoyed our meal and the prices are very fair. We don't go out to eat very often, so it was satisfying to really enjoy a meal out together.

Excellent food. Great customer service even for a large party.

Not sure why I waited so long to try this place. I'm NOT a seafood lover but had NO problem finding many non-seafood options on the menu. The gnocchi Bolognese was awesome. They accommodated my son's request for spaghetti and pink sauce. The homemade pasta was delicious. Only issue was my husband's steak was overcooked which was disappointing, especially for the price. Will definitely be back!

Great place for Italian seafood, Our server was Star and she really is a great server The food was delicious.

Great food, service and atmosphere.
