Get there early to be able to sit at the bar and enjoy your night out! We thoroughly enjoyed our bartenders Kim and Courtney! They were attentive, funny and great mixologists! You must try the spicy pomegranate margarita and the black manhattan and don’t forget the chocolate martini for dessert! Food is simply delicious and very creative and with great portions. The Buffalo shrimp and seared tuna was an enormous pleaser. We did enjoy the whipped feta dip, but wished it was served warm and not cold. The chicken Parmesan entry with homemade pasta was simply delicious and so large that we had to take home! Kim and Courtney were extremely busy with keeping up with not only the large bar orders but also the dining room orders, however, you’d never know it as they paid close attention to all and truly made it a fun night! Additionally, it was a pleasure watching ALL staff members(including the owner) work together to ensure great service was experienced by all! Cannot wait for the new bar to open!

We found this place during a short vacation in York. After a great breakfast, we decided to try to restaurant for dinner. We were not disappointed. My husband loved the chili, although he did say it was very hot which is why he liked it! I especially loved the truffle fries with the perfect amount of parm cheese and truffle. We didn't get any entrees, but everything we ordered was excellent. The online ordering was easy. Drive up and they come right out with your bag of goodies. Highly recommend!

My husband and I stopped at this restaurant on a Saturday night after reading the reviews of it. I'm never sure how much stock to put in the reviews but in this case the reviews were definitely right. The place was packed but the service was still excellent and the food was delicious! We will definitely be back!

This used to be one of our favorite restaurants but it's gone downhill. We have not been here since before the COVID pandemic. We went last week for the first time in two years and it was not like it used to be. The food has changed and is not of the same quality that it used to be. My wife got the prime rib and the sauce on it was basically gravy master. My son got the cheeseburger and it looked like something from McDonalds. I got the chicken thigh sandwich and it was bland. Our daughter got the chicken parm and it was OK but nothing to get excited about. We also got chips and guacamole/salsa. The chips were a little stale and they didn't give us enough. This used to be a very good restaurant but somewhere along the line during the pandemic it's morphed into yet another restaurant charging high prices for boring, bland and uninspiring food. We won't be going back.

Got take out for dinner here this weekend. Food was excellent and easy to order online. Curbside pickup worked perfectly and food was ready as promised. Just pull up and give them your name. They bring it out to you. Simple. I had the Korean steak tips and wife hade the meatball pasta. Both were prepared perfectly and the sides were delicious. Definitely on our list of go to places in the future.

This place has great food! We were vacationing in York Beach and ate at a bunch of fancy high priced restaurants near or on the beach, but this place had the best food hands down of any of the places we tried. Both my husband and I loved our entrees. I had the maple bacon glazed salmon and he had Korean beef tips. Perfection! The place itself doesn't look that appealing from the outside since it located in a strip mall with mostly medical practices, but don't let that stop you. The atmosphere is pleasant but not overly fancy, but the food is definitely fancy! The service was very good also. A must try if you're visiting York!

Lovely spot for a meal in a strip Mall. The restaurant outshines it’s neighbors. Trendy menu, excellent service. Really noisy with a crowd. Definitely worth checking out .

Found this place during an overnight stay. It’s a hidden gem. We shared a few small plates (parm wings, dumplings and ahi tuna and crab tostadas). We also shared a beer flight with some great beers on tap and had a few other drinks as well. Mine being the spicy pomegranate margarita. It was amazing. If you don’t like spice don’t get this one. It has quite a kick to it. For dessert the apple crisp was excellent. If ever in the area again, we will be going back.

Our dinner at the Central was fantastic from beginning to end. We arrived at 5:00pm since there are no reservations due to the size of the venue. We had about a 25 minute wait but totally worth it. There was a nice bar as well as a coffee shop next door while you wait. The menu was varied and accommodated diverse dietary needs. Service was as outstanding as the food. Truly a gem!

We stopped here on our last night of our honeymoon. The food, the atmosphere and the service were all wonderful. They had a great cocktail selection and a nice variety of craft and more commercial beers to choose from. I had the pork dumplings, which were to die for! I also had the Korean BBQ sirloin tips, which were amazing. The sauce had excellent flavor and the sirloin tips were cooked perfectly. Even my extremely picky husband loved his food and he is hard to please! Thank you for the wonderful experience!
