This was not a good experience. The food was ok but not at the level I would expect for the prices they charge. Some of the items that we ordered were not as stated in the menu. However, the real problem was the service.
First the waiter scoffed at our selection of wine, "I guess it's okay if you like a blend." Even though the bottle wasn't a blend. Next the server brought the wrong item for the first course and it took about 30 minutes for them to bring the correct item. Two of the main courses didn't have what was listed in the menu. It's odd to think they would serve a $40 seafood and dumpling dish without the dumplings. The waiter's response was they weren't serving dumplings tonight and asked if he could bring some lobster instead; two tiny claws.
Lastly he used some very underhanded "up selling" on us. He knew it was a birthday dinner. "I understand its a special occasion tonight, can I bring you a dessert?" I politely declined as I don't like sweets. The server further insisted "But the chef has made something very special, it's like a chocolate cake but a bit different. I really think you'll like it." It seemed to me he was saying, it's your birthday let us give you a slice of cake. We got two pieces of what looked like chocolate jello pie, with zero plate presentation and were charged $24 for it.
Centini is over priced and nothing special. But if you like spending big bucks just because you can. Then maybe this is the place for you.
