Reviews
"Sorry were really looking forward to a meal recommended by others. Service and atmosphere was great but food just wasn’t up to scratch. Poor presentation, just looked slapped on the plate. Food itself was only average. Probably should have got the pizzas instead of the meals. Pity, such a let down as we took Friends to celebrate a birthday."
"Located in the beautiful old post office building (built 1905) that is the Clarence Hotel, Centrale provides a relaxed atmosphere with a warm and welcoming ambience. I got the Lamb Ragu Lasagna that was absolutely delicious and is rated in the top 3 pasta dishes I've had. Perfect for a cold winters evening. My partner got the Pappardelle that was also very nice. No problems with quality of food here! Enjoyed the cocktails too, with Journeys End being my favourite. A big shout out to Luka, who waited on us and was excellent. He was very helpful when we were navigating the menu, providing top notch advice. The only disappointment causing me to drop a star is the front of house, who neither seem friendly or welcoming. First time we tried to dine here some time ago, we ended up leaving having been completely ignored. This time was better, but still felt like we were a bit of a nuisance. Only minor in the grand scheme but perhaps something to work on."
"Excellent cocktails and pizza, nice spot to hang out."
"Love it here! Our go-to place for great cocktails and food. Good ambiance, a lot of drinks selection to choose from, comfortable seating, opens everyday and even for breakfast! Will definitely keep coming back even for just some casual drinks with friends."
