Shockingly good food. And not just for a dive-bar.
Influenced by his high-end Toronto kitchen experience, chef James renewed and expanded the menu eight months ago with a focus on fresh ingredients and innovative twists on typical bar-fare. Try the crushed-potato-chip battered Fish and Chips or the tofu Pad Thai (often a terrible choice at a bar, but The Central does it very well). Also recommend the wings -- huge and juicy -- which can give any wings spot in Toronto a run for its money. Order it with a cup of butternut squash soup.
Warning: Make sure James is working before ordering.
