Central Restaurant

Central is a truly outstanding fine dining experience. The food—a delicate fusion of southern tradition and worldly culinary flavors—is absolutely scrumptious.

While the menu rotates seasonally, the mainstays—like the beef short-rib—are there to stay for good reason. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.

The signature cocktails are everything you could ask for; their sazerac is outstanding and they might just make the best old fashioned in Montgomery.

The staff are attentive, friendly, and willing to accommodate. Definitely make a reservation; however, the bar seating is often a good last-minute option for a small party.

Ya would have gotten 5 stars but....
The hostess lied and said we couldn't have a booth for four of people cause they were booked. That was a bold faced lie! The food was excellent. Great presentation. Great service. BUT ....I just don't like being lied to. We spend big $$ and 20% tip to the waiter. Great lemon drop martini too

Really great food and service. Our server had great tips about historical and cultural sites to see. She was super friendly. Our family had the lettuce blue cheese salad, amazing lamb ribs, scallops, duck and salmon. The desserts were also great.

It is rare that I would pay MORE for food. This was an absolutely wonderful experience. When it comes down to elegant fine dining, this restaurant had it all. We paid $106 for 2 well portioned entrees, and a dessert. The food was to die for. The 8oz Fillet was possibly even larger (or it certainly seemed that way.) and the pork chops were delicious. It gave that cozy and luxurious vibe, but was also fun and exciting to watch everything going on around us. This was an absolutely amazing place to dine at, and we will be back for many more trips to come.

Blown away by the quality and the atmosphere of this place. Located on a vibrant block near the riverfront, Central is beautifully decorated to create a cozy and upscale vibe, further enhanced by the amazing service.

The menu has a ton of variety and every dish we tried was a true flavor bomb. The filet Mignon was one of the best cuts of meat I’ve had in a long time

The food here was really good! Everything we tried was great! I had the duck which was very flavorful along with the ribs as an appetizer. Everything my group had at our table was presented so well and tasted just as good as it looked. Thanks to our waiter Kiki who made our dinner that much better.

This was our first time going and we were definitely not disappointed. The food was amazing. Matt got the pork chops which were cooked perfectly and I got the duck which was delicious. The sides were really good and I would go back even if it's just for dessert.

My husband and I visited Montgomery for the first time, and were recommended by our AirBnB host to try our Central. We didn’t realize a reservation was preferred, so just stopped in. Despite being fairly busy, we were still graciously seated with minutes of arrival. Our server was Izzy (Israel), and he provided some of the best service we have ever received. Izzy was courteous, incredibly friendly, an knowledgeable about the menu/drinks. And then, the food. The food was AMAZING. We wanted to try everything, but opted to try almost all the desserts instead - also AMAZING. Overall, our visit exceeds a five star rating and I wish they’d open a Central where we live. Run, don’t walk to eat here - and ask for Izzy if you can!

Went on 3/11
The food was amazing! We will definitely be back! I wish I would had gotten the name of our waiter to add to this review to brag on him but he went beyond GREAT service. Made sure we had everything to our liking, even taking photos for us! To add he told us we wouldn’t regret getting the steaks and BOY WAS HE RIGHT! Can’t wait to come back soon.

Our dining experience was wonderful. We were a bit disappointed with our appetizer and dessert unfortunately. Both entrees were great. We had the NY strip and Beef short ribs. My two drinks were made perfectly as well. Overall, a great experience for our anniversary.
