    Yvette was amazing and the dj was a nice touch. Food was delicious. We had the Short rib and avocado toast. The spicy bloody Mary is serious and includes a fresh jalapeno slice, as it should. Can't suggest enough.

    Everything was amazing. This is our third time at Central kitchen and it never disappoints. Our service was incredible(Myka) as well as the food. The Feta wings are amazing and we get every time, along with sharing the fries and Smash Burger. Highly recommend Central kitchen when Downtown Motown

    This restaurant was nice, it's in a good location despite the construction. The staff was friendly and the menu was cool. The wine was cold and refreshing we selected a house Moscato. I would visit this restaurant again!

    Great food and service. A little hard to find with roads closed around. Very crowded and noisy.

    Good ambiance; the two entrees we ordered (scallops and bolognese) were very rich for our liking; caesar salad was very good; there is no kids menu, so not a great option unless you’re okay spending $20+ on meals for kids under 10. Lastly, our server never checked on us after we got our food, which capped off a mediocre dining experience.
