| - The review is 3 stars for the food, but I am bumping them up a star because of great service. I arrived at Central a couple of minutes before 11. The only reason I came was to try the fried chicken. Well, I was told by my server that lunch service doesn't start until 11:30. Not wanting to sit for 30 minutes before I could even order, I asked her if there was something that could be done. So, she asked the chef and they accommodated me, starting to prepare the chicken immediately. I was very appreciative of this gesture, thus the extra star.
The chicken itself had excellent crust, but lacked salt. It was crunchy and went well with the buttery potato puree it sat upon. You get a white piece and a dark piece, which I liked. Most places that serve fried chicken in this setting (a nice casino) only give you white meat. I prefer the dark, it's juicier and more flavorful, and this chicken was no different. The sauce is a thin mayo based sauce. It was good, but I won't be replacing cream gravy anytime soon. The chicken is served with greens with a dressing that was too acidic for me, so I only had a couple of bites.
The chicken is $26, which is expected given the location of Central. Would I get this dish again? Probably not. But, I would dine at Central again, the rest of the menu looked good and it has what appeared to be a great bar. So, I'd give it another shot.
