    I love Central Market for so many reasons, but I will say the food and wine selection will never disappoint. Over the years the food has always been delicious and I’m excited to try new menu items. For instance, I can’t wait to try the pork chops the next time we go! Also, the wait staff is knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. I’d go here weekly if I could afford it!

    Hands down one of the best meals we have had! This restaurant had come recommended for years and I’m sorry we waited so long to try it. We started with the fabulous gem salad, followed by scallops on squash risotto and pork chops and ended it with butter scotch pudding! if I could give this restaurant 20 stars I would! Highly recommend it!!! An extra bonus is the owner and head chef is present throughout the entire evening and comes by to make sure your experience is stellar.

    Happy hour romantic getaway 5 star! Before evening rush, easy to talk, love the ambiance, superb oysters presentation, many GF / veg & vegan options for HH and dinner. Well chosen wines, HH and dinner. Even a GF dessert selection. Impressed. Not Michelin stars but Bib Gourmand/ neighborhood gem! We'll be back.
