Chris has been a chef in several successful restaurants, most notably Scrimshaw's of Ridgefield, as well as L'Europe Restaurant in Westchester county in New York State prior to opening his own restaurant in 1990.

After purchasing Fiddler's Restaurant in 1990, he created a new menu which has continued to evolve to provide new creative offerings while maintaining traditional American favorites. A complete renovation of the entire restaurant was undertaken in 2003 to replace the "country" dining room and Irish style pub. What has resulted is a bright, upbeat atmosphere that is conducive to the traditional and creative cuisine featuring ingredients from around the globe that Chris is known for.

Chris and his two Sous Chefs, Robert Adams and Hector MacDermoth, combine for more than 60 years of cooking experience. Only U.S.D.A. inspected meats (no ungraded imported beef), pristine quality seafood, Bell & Evans free range chicken, and the highest quality produce available are accepted and served by our chefs. This unique level of expertise provides Chris' American Restaurant with the ability to provide a menu with a wide selection of items as well as exciting, creative offerings at the high level of satisfaction our customers have grown accustomed to and enjoyed for many years.
