    Continued phenomenal dining service and entrees. Central is my go-to whenever I travel back home to visit. I’m always greeted with a warm welcome from the bartenders and management.

    I loved it, they took great care of my family, while also keeping a positive attitude throughout the whole service. Despite having such complex orders. 10/10 will definitely make sure to go again

    I wasn’t able to get the full experience here. What I ordered came with a mushroom sauce (which I’m allergic to) so my omelet was a bit dry. They didn’t have very many alternatives for sauces. But the service was good and attentive and it was a nice atmosphere.

    We had a group of 8 visiting from out of town and stumbled upon Central Kitchen + Bar ...... what a treat!!!! The vibe, food, service, management and atmosphere were all top notch. We ended up closing the restaurant down because of how welcoming the restaurant was. Special shout out to Kevin -- you're appreciated !!!

    An outstanding location, increased only by the quality of seasonal food. Went for Mother's Day Brunch and there was nothing we wanted for. Definately coming back when the menu changes to see what else Chef has up their sleeve.

    Great vibe and even better food. We had the chicken sandwich and smash burger. Both were phenomenal. They won an award for the chicken sandwich, and I could see why. The batter was perfectly seasoned, crispy, and not too thick. Their herb fries with truffle aoili were delicious. The house chips and bistro sauce were also good. The service was friendly and quick. We went on a Saturday evening and were able to get a table for 2 easily. The ambiance was casual but nice with good music and tvs for sports. We will be back again to try other menu items.
