    Our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and gave solid recommendations. Feels like you left Cbus and stepped into a Cali restaurant. I am excited to try more items on the menu!

    This was our first visit to Cento and we were very, very impressed. The decor is very elegant. We ate in the back room which reminded us of a "gentleman's club"...intimate, dark, welcoming. It does need more sound proofing as it was difficult to hear the 4 people at our table. Aside from that, all else was superb. The wine list and cocktails was excellent. Our server was beyond superb. He was extremely knowledgeable about the entire menu. He described all the specials in amazing detail, and could further describe any item on the menu, as well as help competently with wine and cocktail selections. The food we were served was also scrumptious. The beet salad was devine, very thinly sliced red and golden beets with goat cheese and a citrus vinaigrette. The Caesar salad was excellent. For our main entrees, I had the halibut special that was prepared perfectly. The special ravioli was also scrumptious. We passed on dessert as we were way too full, but the choices looked great!

    We had the beef and prime rib sliders on the Happy Hour menu and they were cooked perfectly to medium rare. We also had a wedge salad and warm rolls which were soft and fresh. We enjoyed Smokey Old Fashion cocktails. Enjoyable meal in the bar area which is always very cozy.

    I am not a fan of men wearing baseball hats in an establishment like yours. The food is always great when I come there. I brought my son this time and he has a severe dairy allergy and you guys did a fantastic job accommodating him. Chris was an excellent server.
