Felt like I was robbed. I strongly suggest you try a different restaurant.
The restaurant it self is very nice looking. The menu is not large but describes wonderful dishes, but the food coming out of the kitchen hardly resembles the description and it is way over priced for the portions and quantity.
My wife had the sole which was either old or over cooked or both. I had the steak tips, which at $31 was no where near the value.
Employees of generally disengaged and wander around and stare out the windows. The place has huge potential but the kitchen needs to improve 1000% to match the prices and dining room.
And I hate the hospitality fee. Why have me pay even more for something that can’t be explained by an employee.

Ordered stuffed shrimp. Had high hopes. Overcooked and it was colder than room temperature to the point where the white sauce had started to coagulate. My friends were half way through their meal before the waitress came back. Also, very small print on menu an extra 3% tacked on for hospitality. Not a fan.

What happened?! This used to be one of my favorite places to eat in the greater Hopkinton area, but the new menu and food are awful. I used to tell everybody I know that this place is a hidden treasure but yesterday we were served carnival food, tasted like premade frozen food from BJs microwaved and sent out. We ordered a half dozen different apps and dinners including the so called specials thinking surely something must be good. Really, really disappointed. Used to love this place.

Food and drink are always good. The acoustics are really bad and with the live music and you can't hear anybody at the table.
Been in the area and have seen this place, it looked like a great vibe, food looks good. We stopped in tonight excited to try it for the first time. We asked to be seated outside and was told not a problem and led outside by a hostess.We were sitting outside for 15 minutes outside without any staff checking in on us. I went in and stated we were outside looking for service. The hostess seemed surprised and asked if I was sat out there by them and I stated yes we've been by the corner. She went into the back and I went back outside to wait. We waited another 10 minutes for service and still no one came to take our orders. A couple two tables over from us was being served and they were sat after us. At this point we got up and left.We are disappointed; the menu looked great, we were looking to spend our money and even asked for the opportunity to do so!

Central Public House is a fantastic eating spot. The food is absolutely delicious, the staff is very attentive and the building itself is gorgeous.I've been to the restaurant a few times and some of the food I've ordered was the Spicy Caesar Salad, the hummus, the spinach and artichoke dip and the creme brulee. All of the meals were not only delicious but it's clear that CPH uses fresh ingredients. I typically order salads at restaurants and you usually expect a few damper pieces of lettuce, but the Caesar is always fresh and crunchy, the dressing well distributed, a perfect amount of parmesan and fun spicy kick to make the dish unique. Definitely my go to meal!The apps are also fantastic. The pita bread is great for dipping and has a wonderful texture. They also go great with both the hummus and artichoke dips. Both these dips are well seasoned, have a great consistency and honestly their hummus is some of the best I've ever had.Lastly the creme brulee is always lovely, great consistency and the burnt sugar on the top is always such a fun treat!Regarding drinks, CPH has a great selection of alcohol. The cans of ciders and beers they have stocked are from a great selection of local breweries, Jacks Abby, Downeast and Night Shift to name a few. And then there's the mixed drinks! They have a fun selection of cocktails. I absolutely love the brown sugar old fashioned. It's definitely one of my favorites.The staff is also phenomenal. All of their waiters and waitresses are attentive and always have a kind attitude. They're great about checking in when you need things.The kitchen crew is very talented and always keeping up the quality of their dishes while still getting food out at a fast pace. They really nail down the recipes even while changing out the menu every few weeks. It creates a fun enviornment for patrons because there's always something new and fun to try, but still always made with the same phenomenal quality.It's also nice to see how active the manager is on site. He's always running food to tables, checking in with guests and even running take out orders. It really speaks to the quality of the staff running the building.And speaking of the building, it's beautifully designed and well constructed! The bar is absolutely gorgeous and the seating is very comfortable. Eating next to the large windows brings in a lot of natural light which adds a nice aesthetic to your dining experience. The kitchen even has a window you can watch through to see the kitchen staff hard at work as they make your food.I would highly recommend Central Public House, between the fantastic food, amazing staff and just an absolutely fun atmosphere. You won't regret spending an evening here.

2nd time ordering risotto and it was not fully cooked. If you're going to have risotto on the menu, ensure you know how to cook it.Food has potential, but half cooked rice is ruining the experience.
