    Great dining experience in a historic part of downtown Palm Springs. Service was excellent and the menu featured great options for those of us who don't eat meat or chicken. Thank you

    Dinner at Grand Central was excellent. Highly recommend the Chicken Pot Pie or the Ahi Poke Bowl. Hope you can get Douglas for your server as he was excellent too!

    Incredible pix fixe dinner for Valentines day. The scallop appetizer course and ravioli appetizer course and lobster & filet course were all delicious. Service was very good. Everything was amazing except the red velvet cake dessert which was just too dried out unfortunately.
