It was our first visit to The Centro and we really enjoyed ourselves. The venue is open and airy. We got a great seat! Erick our server was friendly and provided us with great recommendations and service! The bread with the olive oil mixture was fantastic (we asked for seconds). We had the minestrone soup, short rib entree (ask for extra au jus-yum) and the meatball appetizer - all were delicious! The wine flight was a great addition. We look forward to our next visit!

Morton’s Steakhouse made for a very enjoyable and relaxing evening in the company of very attentive and pleasant servers. The food was delicious and worth the wait of the day. The salad was excellent and the steak was cooked to perfection. The mash potatoes were not truly mashed but the French Fries was to our instant liking so we forgot all about the mashed potatoes.

We’ve dined at Blue Point before over the years, but tonight was by far our favorite time. We took my daughter for our annual Christmas dinner and it could not have been more perfect. Our server, Hailie was so kind and attentive. She made the experience truly special for my daughter. Our appetizer, entrees and desserts were perfect. The Christmas decorations at Blue Point are second to none and elicit the ambiance of a Manhattan restaurant during and holidays. We cannot recommend Blue Point or our server Hailie highly enough.
