Nice cozy restaurant. Small and inviting. The food is good but not superb or gourmet, so don't expect that it will blow you away. Nice place to eat and since it is a local restaurant, yiu get to know the staff and they get to know you. That is definitely worth something!
They have an interesting variety of options, granted the size of the establishment. Prices are so-so. Neither the highest nor cheapest if comparing to the entire state and different towns/cities. But if we're talking just the idea of how the place presents itself, etc -it seems like it is intentionally trying to keep people away with its pricing as if trying to ensure table space for the elderly on pensions who can afford to eat there and pay the premium for the closeness to their gated communities. I don't think whom my party consisted of was their intended demographic in the first place. Quality hit and miss. Partly based on occasional cooking mistakes -like something getting too charged on an edge that upsets the whiny folks, or a cut of steak has too much grizzle going on so you only get 3/4ths of what would otherwise fair portioning. A NY strip isn't supposed to have any grizzle, especially 3/4ths. What are the credentials of a chef who can't get that right? But if we're buying Stop&Shop crummy cuts and all the quality and pricing makes sense because it's sourcing from a shipping center that price gouges -it starts with whoever owns the strip land that rents to the stores, and then in turn the stores have to calculate in their prices to cover those costs. It's expensive to operate in the Concordia shopping center and for all the traffic the land owner can claim with the residents of Concordia they are sucking up all the money in inflated rental costs. We're not on the side of Monroe with the McMansion houses where you question how they afford their 2 to 3 million dollar house let alone furniture and vehicles and not have inner NY city mafia ties or big government contracts. Concordia has always been too expensive for its location. And that affects the quality of every business trying to operate there. Moving on, the wait staff seems courteous as they need to be keeping in mind the situations that can arise from customer confusion. Empty plates and such were removed in fair enough time. I've seen far worse handling from places with more staff where each technically had to manage less overall per wait staffer. I will give them that all the food seemed cooked to safety and overall a sense of also not overdoing things as best as they can. My only personal issue with my visit was that the Country Burger is not a mushroom and onion mozzarella or swiss burger, nor even provolone. It's a cheese steak burger without peppers -and it has American cheese. The American cheese overpowered the delicate flavor that few mushrooms that were on it were supposed to convey. Burger, roll, and ingredient quality were fine. It was just a terrible choice of options, IMO. I should have looked closer at the menu before ordering it and questioned what cheese it comes with. And again, the name doesn't fit the product. Country would denote country gravy. Having some roots in Appalachia, I'm kind of offended by whoever tried to claim this is in the spirit of country folk. Dill pickle chips, ketchup, mustard, onion bits, poppy seed bun -what you'ld get a a McDonalds by standard is the typical American country demand. A burger battered in breadcrumbs and deep fried with country gravy topping -that'd be closer to a country burger also. But I've never known anyone who would suggest mushrooms, onions, and American cheese as country -it feels like we're missing a sauce to completes the dish like a Chipotle ranch. As-is it just tasted like the American Cheese was ruining the benefits of the quality of the other ingredients and a shame. I ate it despite my disgruntled disposition, because I don't waste food -again, part of my roots is Appalachian. But I am shaking my head wondering how a chef could let this construct exist on their menu. How often is this one being ordered mistakenly as if a mush+onion+mozz? Just me? Sometimes less menu options is better for business. A diner's menu should be nothing but their hits with the locals, what they can repetitively put out flawlessly in quality, JMHO. 🤷
I recently ate at Christo’s Kitchen with my wife and grandchildren. It was the first time since ownership changed hands. We found the food options to be a good variety and all of our meals were tasty and plentiful. The staff was very pleasant and attentive to our needs. I was glad to see how busy they were, which confirmed my opinion of this restaurant being one of the better deals in town.
