    Was only in town for one night. Tried the place across the street from my hotel and it was mediocre. Decent food. But, felt like the waitress was annoyed by me. Food was fair- the bartender didn’t know how to make a cosmo. Charged $22 for a a bad drink- more than i have ever paid in any DC fancy restaurant. Not impressed. Save your money and try somewhere else.

    It was the most rushed experience I have had in many many years! Waitress was absolutely rude and had no care about our experience. The lamb chops were overcooked. We asked for medium and they came out well done! Our waitress had an attitude from the very beginning when we sat down! This was one of the worst dining experience I’ve had in the last 10 years

    William was the best server I have had anywhere. He made me an outstanding mock tail! My Chicken Parmesan was burnt on the bottom and the Cesar Salad was overdressed. Everyone else enjoyed their meals.

    The house made blue cheese dressing on the wedge salad is to die for! The rack of lamb was grilled and delicious! Noona’s meatballs were very good too. Our server was attentive. It was my first time to dine at Centro and will definitely go again.
