Amazing meal with fresh ingredients and interesting combinations of ingredients. The Fry Bread with burrata was delicious. Nice wine list and we enjoyed a lovely French Chenin Blanc. Our server was attentive yet subtle and wine glasses kept nicely filled. Nice tunes but music volume should be lower.

The food is amazing and every dish was just a hit from the appetizers to the pastas to the meats...great. But...the service leaves something to be desired. I am not a particularly smiley and happy all the time gal in the first place, so I really do appreciate a professional staff who is kind and to the point, but at Central Kitchen I felt like I was bothering the really cool and hipster waiters to provide the basics of service. Again, I don't need fakeness and smiles all around, but read a table would ya...we are celebrating a birthday for a 50 year old and we are happy to be together, so throw some personality our way. This kind of attitude comes from the top down, so I am assuming that the leadership at Central Kitchen does not particularly care about the type of attitude their serving staff throws out...which is a bummer for their long-term success.

Really excellent food but the service was terrible - super slow, difficult to even get the bill, 3 wait staff came by our table and took orders at different times which caused confusion and mix ups.

We loved everything about this meal. The food was spectacular and the vibe is great. Must get the fry bread with burrata, tuna crudo, duck, and chicken. It's pricey and more of a nice occassion spot, but we'll definitely be back!

Great room and never felt crowded. Was super loud with all the hard services. Pricey menu and limited choices after the roast chicken.

Amazing restaurant. Though casual in nature, the food quality merits a Michelin Star or two. The ratio between food quality and price heavily favors the customer. Run don’t walk to this somewhat hidden diamond!!!

We had a GREAT dinner at Central Kitchen! So glad to have found a great new (to us) place in the Mission. Each dish was delicious and we enjoyed the family-style dining. The ambiance was nice and they had a good wine selection and good service. Will come again, would recommend to a friend.
