| - I struggle with how to review bar centro for a few reasons. I went here on date night from a recommendation from a chef, but thought the food was sub par, and average. We had reservations at 8:30 on a Friday night, and were quickly seated at our table right on the nose with water glasses. It wasn't until 8:53 that our server finally came over to introduce herself. It was at the tipping point of us planning on just walking out. She apologized for the wait, but I don't think she realized how long we had actually been sitting there, as I had not seen her walk by once. She took our appetizer, entree and drink orders all at once, and we ordered a flight of beers. When they came, I noticed one was incorrect, and when she brought our appetizer I pointed it out and she brought the correct beer. Next our food arrived, but she did not check on us until I had finished my entire pizza. My boyfriend had stopped halfway though his food to ask for a condiment, which took a few minutes, despite being located directly across from the kitchen counter. The waitress wasn't rude or anything, but barely spoke 20 words to us and gave little service. If you scroll down on reviews, you can clearly see this is a continuous issue that they have. I don't know if the miscommunication was between the hostess and waitress that we had arrived or if she just had too many tables, but it was lacking. You receive the same service at a chipotle or similar fast casual restaurant. We ordered a pizza and veggie burger, both of which were very average. Given the location, there are so many other restaurants that I would rather eat at. Same time and money and go somewhere else! PS you can see many 1 or 2 star reviews that are 'not recommended' aka have been paid to be hidden. Not a good sign. I gave three stars because the food wasn't bad, and the server wasn't rude, but it definitely wasn't a good overall experience.
