    It's plain and simple, Central Market is very good. They use quality ingredients and creatively prepare it well. It's a very good restaurant to have dinner. We think it's good enough we drive 45 minutes to get there.

    Such a warm, vibrant spot with great food and courteous service. A menu that offers good value and great local ingredients along with some fine local wines. Never disappoints!

    I’ve been going to Central Market for years and the Chef-owner has always greeted me and his customers when they arrive . The cuisine is always farm fresh to the table, always consistent which is why Central Market has been in Petaluma over 20 years . Central market doesn’t have a bar but their small aperitif cocktails are always yummy. The wine list is excellent. I recommend this restaurant.

    Food was decent, but a little overpriced. There was only 3 of us but we were charged a mandatory 20% tip. Also, we had 3 spiders run across our table, and then we had to ask to be moved to a new table. I don’t think I would recommend.
