I'd been working out in Porter Square for many years before someone suggested going to Christopher's. From the outside it looks like it's going to be a bit of a dive and that it's really just a place for drinks and not for food. The reality is the total opposite of that. The interior is actually quite pleasant, including the lovely fireplace in winter. The service is good, and the food is really very good. They have a lot of variety -- somethings you'd expect in this type of place and some more unusual things. I've never been for Sunday brunch, but I know they have it, and I can't think of any other place in the neighborhood that does. Of course parking can be a challenge, but it's very convenient to the Porter Square T station.
