Central

Central is the bomb. Gabby sold us the last short rib and recommended the chef’s donuts, which were EXCELLENT! Great atmosphere, excellent food, and Gabby was great—and those lashes, tho... #distraction

Exquisite dining, with personable staff and chefs who care about quality and taste. Every bite had delectable flavor. The location is well lit by both table light candles and wall mounted candles.

I had dinner with a friend there on a weeknight while we were at a conference in Montgomery. We loved everything about the experience, the menu, the food and drink, and especially the service. Our server Raven seemed truly excited that my friend and I were there and happy to guide us through the menu. She did something no other server has ever done for me, offered to show us photos of the food on her cell phone. For a visual person like me, this was a great idea. When my friend asked for a glass of red wine to accompany the entree Raven asked her preferences and brought her 2 selections to choose from.

I visited on Saturday even about 6. I was in a fairly large group of about 15. The ambiance was very nice, I liked the fact the bar was further into the restaurant and not as soon as you walked in. The wait staff was really nice and accommodating. I felt the menu was a bit pricey and limited too, as a pescaterian I had like two entree options. The cocktails sound very carefully crafted and fun, many in my party ordered them and seemed very satisfied. I had a lot of food here and nothing really blew me away. My entree red grouper was bland for sure. I also had the pimento cheese, which also fell short of my expectations. I think the highlight of my meal was dessert, I had the sweet potato cheesecake and it was really good. I don't know that if I were in Montgomery again that I would return, nothing too memorable about this place.

Food and service were awesome, and we really enjoyed the atmosphere. They use some great flavor combinations that make each dish unique. As an example- we had their bread pudding for dessert- a cupcake sized bread pudding base, surrounded by an apple and cinnamon chutney, topped with a scoop of salted caramel ice cream... Perfect.
A bit pricey- but seemed worth it
