Jim and I have been to Christopher’s many, many times. They even catered a welcome home party we had a few years ago when Jim returned from Iraq. I have never done a review on them. I am not sure how I have missed it for so long but here it is! Christopher’s is located in Dover NH and can be found at 16 Third Street. We went on a Thursday night about 6:00 pm and it was already filling up, lots of people in the dining room and the bar area was also getting full. We chose a high table in the bar area next to the window. We were greeted very quickly and had menu’s in our hand along with a cutting board with fresh warm bread just out of the oven… with a strawberry butter, what a great way to start!
Jim and I were both hungry, so we started with one of my favorite appetizers the crispy calamari ($8.00) served with both tartar sauce and marinara sauce! I love this dish, as the coating is light and crisp. They make their own seasoned flour for this dish! 
On this particular night we did not have their crab cakes. Those too are incredible and another one of my favorite things on the menu! You will not be disappointed with either of these appetizers!! For the main course I had one of the specials. It was a beautiful garden salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots and avocado with lightly fried chicken with blue cheese dressing.
This was very, very good. The chicken was crisp and tender and the salad greens were just fabulous and tasted like they were just picked fresh from the garden! This salad was also large. I ended up taking half of it home. I am not complaining…who would not love that salad a second time!
Jim had a burger! I know none of you are surprised by this as Jim is a burger guy through and through! I sometimes feel that is how he rates a restaurant. If they can cook a good burger everything must be good!! Tonight was no exception, Jim ordered the garbage burger ($10.00). This burger has great flavor with sautéed mushrooms, bacon and cheese. This is a BIG burger and Jim loved every bite of it! I might also mention the burger came with fries…lightly crisp on the outside, soft on the inside and well seasoned, I love that!!
Not only was every bite of our dinner just as we would want or expect out of Christopher’s, but we also had great attentive service! We really enjoy Christopher’s and look forward to another visit very soon! Take some time to check out Christopher’s if you are in the downtown area. They also have a great website where you can check out all of the fabulous lunch and dinner items they have available!
Enjoy!
