   Reservation at 2:00 didn’t sit down until 2:20, Food was good, only one complaint some of my chicken wasn’t season as well as others. Server was great and DJ on was great. Will definitely recommend for Sunday brunch and I’ll be back

   Our waiter Norris was cool and helpful. We sat on the covered patio so the noise level was manageable. DJ was playing cool music. Food was great and a good value for the price. Will definitely come back

   I’d forgotten how loud it is in this place. Just 2 of us, sitting directly across from each other, and we could not carry on a conversation without yelling. I won’t return based solely on the noise level. We got out of there without even considering dessert, because 90 minutes of the cacophony was already too much. I like a hip restaurant with a party vibe as much as anyone, but this noise is unbearable. I can’t believe they haven’t figured out some sound attenuation solutions after all these years.

   I was extremely excited to try this restaurant but my guest weren’t pleased with entrees at all. Fish should not be fried in the same grease as chicken or fries due to massive seafood allergies. Everything was “okay” nothing to brag about but the caramel cheesecake. Sorry Central… I will give it one more try but nothing extra ordinary.

   Our son took us to Central Kitchen + Bar to celebrate Father's Day. Attentive service: responsive to our request to lower the music volume. The food was outstanding and innovative: omelet was chicken sausage, Brussel sprouts with a Dijon hollandaise - my husband loved it. Son had the wings and waffles and really enjoyed the jalapeno maple syrup. Daughter in law and I had the central kitchen salad with grilled chicken: almost a falafel in a bowl with hummus and pickles: very flavorful and juicy chicken. We've already recommended it to family in town. We will be back!

   Our meals were delicious but extremely overpriced. Our server came to our table to take our appetizer order, dinner order, and a water refill for my husband. He did not ask if we liked our meals or needed any additional drinks. He literally came to our table three times in an hour and fifteen minutes. We needed to ask for the bill and that took about 10 minutes for him to come back with it. When our bill came there was a 20% gratuity added on which I had never heard of for a table for 2. The restaurant smelled of marijuana and was nauseating while trying to eat dinner. We used to love coming here but this experience was below average and not worth the money.

   Reserved a table due to how busy it was downtown this day. It was one of only a few restaurants still having openings. We arrived about :20 minutes early for our table of 6 (3 adults and 3 kids under the age of 11). The hostess sat 4 other tables immediately at the same time as us. We sat and began deciding what to order. After about 10-15 minutes a person brought us waters a hurriedly put the water and cocktail napkins on the table and left. After another :10 minutes our waiter was flagged by the other 4 tables and took all of their orders. We waited another :05 minutes. Apparently someone didn’t show up to work and another one came in late. Our waiter finally came and took our order, which we ordered everything at once. We were now a good :40-:45 minutes in after arriving. Another guy started bringing our drinks and we began to get some off our appetizers. We eventually got the rest of our food and ate with enough time to make it to our evening event. We had been here once before and experienced the same issue only last time we got up and walked out after :30-:40 minutes). It was a grueling experience especially with having the 3 kids who were hungry and tired at this point due to waiting. Management is obviously poor and lacking here. I’d go somewhere else so it will save you the frustration and awful experience. Plenty of other great places to eat downtown, even if you have to walk in and wait, it’s better than this.

    It was okay. Nothing really to rave about. Service was very slow and we were there longer then planned. I didn’t like that they add on tips automatically because our server wasn’t even that great and they added on 20% to all 4 of our bills.

    The place was a little disorganized. Our server was nice and once we were seated the service was good. But it took a long time to seat us even with a reservation. I wasn’t sure if the hostess even knew we had arrived. She seemed too busy and distracted to take notice.

    we reserved an outside table, but was not available for use at the time of our reservation. So sat inside, which was louder than we really wanted...but food and service was great...so still glad we ate there. Buttermilk chicken sandwich was so fresh and yummy!

    I was able to make a reservation for 9:30 but the kitchen and the bar closed at 10. The experience felt very rushed. We were only able to order 1 drink a piece and I decided against food because of time.

    It was our Anniversary and we had made reservations for Outdoor Seating (for a more intimate feel from the high vibe at the bar - which is cool, but not what we were going for). Ended up being seated SMACK DABB in the middle of chaos. Also, had a party of 5 walk in (no reservations) and get seated in a corner for two that they grab extra chairs for, while they seemed lost at where they were going to sit us…. Our waitress was AMAZING and sensed our vibe and did everything she could to give us a better experience but my husband’s chicken was undercooked and my Salmon dish left much to be desired! It was a completely different menu than what is on OPEN TABLE. A complete disappointment- but kudos to our waitress who tried her best to be a light!

    Loved the patio. Hope you can install noise abatement feature as conversations in a full restaurant make it impossible to hear. People have a better time when they are able to converse and hear others at their own table.

    Brunch with friends. Drinks were trash. Different garnishes, one all vodka, one all mixer. Steak and egg hash may very well come out of a soup can. It’s stewed meat and potatoes sitting in broth with an egg tossed on top. Not going back.

    First time here and I really enjoyed it. I had the brioche French Toast with a side of bacon. Both were excellent (you can't put a price on thick cut, chewy and spicy bacon - just the way I like it!). I loved that their mimosas and bloodys have refills for $1 and $2, respectively. The service was excellent, I felt attended to but never rushed. And the music (I guess I'd describe as 70s R&B) was superb and not too loud.
