Central Cafe - Bradenton

I've been dining at this restaurant for a decade and it has generally been good over the years. However, I feel that it has declined recently. A month ago, I had an average meal. Tonight, my son ordered his steak medium rare, but it came out well done. When we mentioned the error, the response was, "We're short-staffed," which seems to be a common excuse these days when things go wrong. I sincerely hope they improve in the future, as I genuinely enjoy coming here.

This restaurant has grown under its new ownership. The food was fantastic; we ordered appetizers for 40 people, and everything was served hot and fresh. The service was excellent as well. It's a woman-owned business, and there’s a lovely mural of Bradenton in the restaurant's parking lot.

We had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! The spacious and beautifully designed area offered ample parking. The cocktails were delightful, and everything we tried—from appetizers to entrees and dessert—was fresh and delicious. The owner was very personable and even enhanced our bourbon flight with some extra samples. Thank you so much! We’ll definitely be back!

Great service. Nice atmosphere. The Mediterranean salad is very delicious. But the meat portion is very small.

This is a great little Cafe. I highly recommend the Boozy Berry Lemonades and a lemon drop shot! The fries are divine and the peanut butter pie is great! We lived across the street and would walk over all the time especially when Kelly used tobartender. A very quiet environment at night.
