    I had one of the best experiences at Cento last night! I came in to celebrate my birthday with a few friends and the customer service i received, the delicious food, amazing cocktails and wine, and ambiance of the restaurant made my birthday dinner memorable and extremely special for me. My server, I believe her name was Alex, was one of the friendliest and nicest servers I’ve ever had. She recommended we talk to Stacy when we wanted to buy two bottles of wine, and Stacy was nothing but helpful and gave us such great recommendations. Thank you Cento for making my birthday dinner one of the most memorable nights! The staff, food, and drinks are absolutely amazing and I cannot wait to come back again!

    Excellent experience overall! We were seated upstairs, which got to be a little warm, but it was a fun place to sit. Alejandro did an amazing job in taking care of our table. The food was outstanding and we will definitely be back!
