Everything, per usual, was OUTSTANDING! I brought two friends from Louisiana and they were very impressed. In fact, it was one of their favorite places we ate. Norris is top notch! Everyone in the restaurant is so friendly. Definitely one of my favorites too!

Reserved on Open Table. Arrived in time but waited an additional 40 mins to be seated. My food came out cold. They took it back and claimed to recook it. Came out lukewarm. I requested it be hot. Server was great though. His name was Norris.

We went to grab food & drinks to celebrate a friend’s accomplishments. We were seated early and even switched to a larger and more open section. I asked one of the servers if they had any celebratory items, which I asked is if someone’s birthday? I replied no, my friend just got engaged. He didn’t hesitate and said I got something for you all. About 10min later he arrived with a platter of champagne flutes, small dish of ice cream with a with candles. It was AMAZING!! We will definitely be returning, and recommend Central!

First, it was packed but the hostess seated us within a couple minutes of our reservation which I appreciated a lot! Our server (I believe his name was Andre?), was very attentive and gave me an excellent suggestion when I asked him about a couple items, "Get the Herb Roast Chicken". I did. And I was so happy. It and the truffle potatoes were amazing. I cleaned the plate which is not normal for me! If you're reading this and considering going here....forget any other ideas and go here.
