The steak and frites were good as was a steak appetizer. The value for the appetizer was spot on but the steak and frites were a bit pricey. It was definitely an energetic atmosphere. We were seated in the bar area, not at the bar, but we were not very well tended to- there was no ask through the entire meal as to how it was/came out and/or if we needed anything else. We enjoyed ourselves but it was obvious that we were not a priority. At one point we had to yell over to the bar for two more drinks.

Ambience is always nice! Food was underwhelming (fried chicken sandwich needs much more seasoning). $17.00 for calamari? Our plate had more almonds than calamari.

Usually love Central, good food and great brunch vibes. However, this time the service was not very good, which is unfortunate. It took about 15 minutes for us to get our first round of drinks and our server only came by about 4-5 times the entire time we were there (including taking our orders and dropping off food/drink). We even had to ask another server for our checks after watching our server go to the table next to us 4 different times and we tried to grab her attention. Overall, would still go back to Central but wish we had a better experience this time. There was one man who was very kind and would check in on us from time to time, which was appreciated.

My favorite restaurant didn’t disappoint per usual! On time with seating—outside perfect for people watching. I actually like non-football Sunday better because it isn’t too noisy and you can enjoy the music! My french toast was delicious and my husband had chicken and waffles! Drain a bottle of champagne and enjoyed the vibe! My mom went with her friend from Tampa at my recommendation and she throughly enjoyed it! (Even as a more seasoned but very active executive.) See you in a few weeks!

Honestly hits ALL the check boxes for brunch. My favorite brunch spot in detriot. Cons: portions could be a tab bit bigger, and the mimosa special got a little more expensive. First mimosa $12, every refill $0.50.

Great spot for food and drink before a game or event. Highly recommend the "outdoor seating" which is a covered and enclosed, natural light, space at the front of the restaurant.

We were there for brunch on a Sunday. Place was packed. We waited about 15 min for our table beyond our reservation time. Food and service was great. It was very very noisy. Our booth of six struggled to hear each other. Just FYI. The DJ didn't help.

Mimosas flowed, but ambiance and food left much to be desired. Food is hit and miss. Some items you can't screw up, but temperatures aren't monitored properly. Also, music is at a whisper, so all you here is a hodge podge of conversations. Not my first visit, may not be my last.
