   Scott, our server was excellent. The last time we were here it was not so great. Just after the re-opening. Tonight was the at its supposed to be. Magnificent. The pork belly bao buns- amazing a little spendy for what you get but great. The tuna poke nachos (menu hack) are some the best I’ve ever had and are very my h with the price. The burger (now called the Zentrle burger) is still the best I the city for my money. It is the nice eat restaurant at Liberty Station. I think you will love it.

   Our server was really nice, but everything simply took forever to come out. The place was pretty empty, especially for a Friday night. My friends’ veggies were undercooked. Drinks from the bar took 10 minutes at a time. Apps took closer to 20 mins. Will not return.

   Food and drinks were ok. Service was 0. I had my reservation, but we waited for a table plus 45 minutes. We lost 3 hours because of the service’s slowness.

   I had made reservations @5:30 to arrive a little early and Zentrl was kind enough to already get us seated. Zentrl had a live saxophone player that walked around to set the mood for every couple to attend. Food was a 3 course based meal but without a doubt every entree was outstanding. Our last entree took longer than expected but once I mentioned it to waiter (David) our food had quickly came out. David did an outstanding job on behalf of making sure the reservations met its requirements. It was a great experience,as well as something you wouldn’t expect. I would highly recommend!

   We have dined at Zentrl Kitchen Liberty Station previously and this time brought 2 friends to join us. Server Scott was outstanding - recognizing us from past visits and being cordial & helpful, suggesting dishes for us. we shared about 4 "small plates" and each was terrific. Most notable were the poke nachos and guacamole & chips, with our other 2 dishes (sliders - just a bit overcooked - and calamari) tasty as well. we will happily return here and perhaps will bring more friends!

   We’ve been to Liberty Station many times, but this was our first time at ZENTRL for dinner. The restaurant is beautiful. Amazing high ceilings and great views. The service was fantastic. Danyell took great care of us. Tasty cocktails and loved the chocolate lava cake. Very dog friendly. Will definitely be back again soon.

   Service took forever at a place that was so not all that crowded and seemingly had plenty of servers. We had to wave down our server when we needed or wanted anything. He forgot one dessert completely, as well as a beer left at the bar until he was reminded. Very disappointing for a birthday dinner and the hopes for a special evening. Food was fair. Only OK. Convenient for us to attend the tree lighting before, which was the best thing to say.

    Listen, I will be doing Thanksgiving at The Lot again. Not only was it an absolute DREAM to not have to do dishes or have too many people crowd into my tiny apartment, but the food was incredible. I am still trying to figure out the recipe for the sausage and rosemary stuffing that they served. (Can anyone help? 😅) Everything was perfect, and my boyfriend and his family had a great time. My boyfriend and I will be returning for dinner at some point and hopefully a movie too!
