    Restaurant did not honor our reservation. Had to wait 35 minutes before they could seat our table.

    Alexandra, We definitely missed the mark on this visit, this is not the standard of service we strive to provide. We apologize for the wait, in spite of still having a reservation. We will be making some internal changes in our booking system so that incidences like this do not occur again. We hope that you will give us a try again in the future. The Centro Management Team

    I think the price was a bit steep for the quality. I had the beef short rib and wish that the chef was a bit more heavy handed with the demi glace especially since the beef was over. It was a bit tough/dry and I wasnt super appealing to the eye Everyone else generally enjoyed their meals although I don’t think anyone was blown away. $240 with tip for 4 people including two kids and two adults (3 adult beverages total). Service was friendly and ambiance was there. Probably will not go back due to price for quality ratio.

    It was our first visit to The Centro and we really enjoyed ourselves. The venue is open and airy. We got a great seat! Erick our server was friendly and provided us with great recommendations and service! The bread with the olive oil mixture was fantastic (we asked for seconds). We had the minestrone soup, short rib entree (ask for extra au jus-yum) and the meatball appetizer - all were delicious! The wine flight was a great addition. We look forward to our next visit!

    Catherine was our server and was excellent! The food was good but not excellent. I had the bone in filet and it was very fatty and under seasoned and luke warm. I love food that is supposed to be hot, to be hot and this was not. Steak isn't difficult and it was disappointing. My husband had the bolognese and loved it. Catherine made up for the experience, she was kind and very attentive to our evening!

    We ordered two steaks, both medium rare the first round they came out well + +.  They made a new round - They came out so rare that the center was still ice cold.  The shrimp were excellent though.  Our waitress was very nice and the bread was awesome. They took the steaks off the bill.

    Thanks for the review, Ethan! It definitely seems like we missed the mark on this visit, this is not the service and quality that we strive to provide. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your shrimp. We will be making some internal changes and working with our culinary team. We hope that you will give us another shot in the future!

    Food was excellent, I thought that since it is a restaurant in a condo building it would not be top notch but, it was very flavorful, delicious food. Much better than the restaurants closer to Playhouse Square.
