    Food was great, had some troubles with the temp on a few items. Our server seemed to have been directing most of his attention to other tables, as he wasnt that busy seemingly. He visited our table very scarcely, and we weren’t the only ones, a couple next to us got us after the incredibly long first visit time. We had to wait for him to come and ask us how the food was as we had troubles with it. We had to pull someone aside to get our check, and then wait for him to bring it back. It was hard to ignore it but it didn’t ruin out night. Pretty important that the service is somewhat on par seeing as we are spending almost $200 here.

    Our reservations were for 8:45 for six people on New Years Eve. We were seated at 9pm. We were not told that the bar and kitchen close at 10 pm. We were not able to get a second round of drinks nor were we offered any desert. If they close at 10 pm they should not allow a part of 6 to be seated at 9. Very rushed experience and unfortunately we will not be back. The food was very good, but the service was not what you would expect from a high end restaurant. Too bad.
    The Centro- ClevelandResponded on January 4, 2025
    Thanks for visiting us, B. We're sorry to hear about your New Year's Eve experience. We understand the importance of timing and clear communication, and we apologize if our staff's actions didn't meet your expectations. We're glad you enjoyed our food, but we're sorry that the service was rushed. This is not the standard of service that we strive to provide, regardless of your reservation time you should have not been rushed. We value your feedback and will use it to improve. We hope you'll reconsider and give us another chance to provide the high-end experience you expect from us. Best, The Management Team at The Centro- Cleveland

    The cuisine was fantastic.... very busy for Christmas dinner. Unfortunately, but not unexpected service was slow because of staff shortage. My daughter is a sous chef and actually applied here. Needless to say, she didn't even get an interview. They needed help this day for sure

    We ordered steaks, medium rare. They came out and were well done. Ordered again and the steaks just weren’t good. Service was great and the waiter was amazing. Spent $375 for a dinner that wasn’t worth it.

    Host did not notify a server that we had been seated so waited quite a while to get drinks and order, but once that was sorted out the food was lovely. The wagyu was the best steak I’ve ever eaten.
