Me and my wife decided to try out whenever Burger that's inside of this restaurant. It had a nice atmosphere and it is very retro sheek on the restaurant side, we're not drinkers so we didn't sit on the bar side. I had the whatever Burger and the wife had a melt sandwich. Both of them are really good. Amazingly seasoned oil and cooked to a nice medium well which most restaurants don't do well. The fries were good and salty and hot just the way I like them....

We hosted our wedding family dinner & welcome social hour at Centro on Nicollet and could not have had a better experience. Shorey was SO helpful throughout the planning process, and Ngia was thoughtful, attentive, caring and an overall rockstart throughout the entire event. We are so grateful for the work of the Centro staff - they were all superstars. You helped us really kick the wedding weekend off with a bang! Highly recommend the Centro private space for your next event.
