Food and service were great. Can’t wait to go back.

Fantastic food and service!

Classic French bistro. Quality food and service.

Consistently a fabulous dining experience!!!! Menu is interesting - every single item we have ever ordered has been delicious and the service is always outstanding.

My husband and I had a date night to the theater with preshow dinner at Central. What a treat ! Can't believe it took us so long to get here. Cocktails were top-notch, appetizers tasty, and main dishes so well prepared and presented. Our server was a gem who wanted each part of our meal to be a success, including wine pairings. We will be back!

Hosted a group of folks for a business meal from all over US. Comments around the table were “this is the best fried chicken I have ever had” and “this place is amazing”

Pre Theatre Birthday Lunch We started with the Gouger

Manager was condescending

As good as it's always been. That's why it's one of my favorite restaurants anywhere. The fried chicken is their signature dish.

The food and service were excellent. I recommend Central for a pre-National Theater dinner.
