Café Central

My husband received Salmon instead of the house specialty (Chilean Sea Bass) that he ordered specifically because it was a specialty and he is not at all fond of salmon.

Although we were comped drinks and dessert the meal itself should have been comped.

The rack of lamb was good, but the mashed potatoes were dry and lacked flavor for the price. Serving sizes were relatively small but the wait staff was amazing.

Had our anniversary dinner there was absolutely amazing. Food was great and staff was amazing. I had the lobster ravioli and my husband had the duck breast. Absolutely recommend this place !

Extremely attentive staff! Worth every penny, food is delicious!

Always such a great place! We always love everything from the wine, food and desert!

Lamb chops amazing. And the Filets were outstanding. Crab cakes phenomenal. Finished off with awesome creme brûlée. So glad we tried this place. Obviously very popular with upscale dressed up people that Know this is the place to eat in El Paso!

Amazing, like always! I truly enjoy eating at Café Central

When you make a reservation, call and specifically ask for a table inside away from the door. They sat me outside by the door and claimed all tables inside were reserved. The ambience outside is totally different - some tables are bare wood, it's cold, and it's missing the elegance from the inside.

Always a great place for a date or a business meal. A little loud with the live music being amplified over the speakers, and I feel that without amplification would make for the best dining experience.

Joey is the best! Great customer service all around.

Food was presented nicely but very scant portions even for a high end restaurant, also overly rich. Service was not what we expected for the caliber of restaurant this was advertised to be.

This restaurant has the potential to be 5 stars all around, unfortunately there were many failed opportunities that could have provided a 5 star experience; expected from this type of establishment for ex. upon entering Cafe Central we were not acknowledged, on the contrary we were cut off by a staff member to speak ill of other customers to another waiter right in front of us. After passing the outside seated section, no one acknowledged us for 7 minutes. I was surprised that no one attempted to offer a simple hello, or “give us a minute.” We were asked twice if we had made a reservation, which I had made days prior. This only told me there was failure in communication amongst coworkers.
However, the food was superb! Prices were fair and the atmosphere was enjoyable. Our waiter Dante was very well informed of the menu and helped us in making a decision as well offering his recommendations! I would recommend cafe central. Management should see there is room for improvement. Thank you.

Staff was friendly and curious. The food was amazing.

Atmosphere was upscale and calm. Maitre de was great. Bartender was slow preparing cocktail (not much demand at this time) but drink was good. Green Chile soup was great. Ribeye also very good. Overall a great meal with fine service. Highly suggest. 🥂

The service was top notch. They were very busy that night but you were never left waiting.

Not worth the amount of money we paid 500$ Nice ambiance though

Excellent experience. Will absolutely be back.

They were firing an al cylinders. Food was excellent. Had the octopus appetizer. Then the duck and tuna for dinner. Very good.

Good service

Brian, our server, made this experience perfect.

We were there in September and again December for special occasions - something needs to be done to keep the cigarette smoke from filtering thru the A/C vents and entering the inside dining area.
Asides from that - always great!

took little while for food to come out but had some large parties. Always good and good value for service

Food took about 1 hour to get the to the table

Had a great time with my wife on our 21 anniversary. Derrick was the best waiter we had ever had, meeting every challenge that I presented! The Escargot was 1000 X’s better than the Disney Cruise! Thank you, God Bless, and Merry Christmas

Everything was perfect. The food delicious and atmosphere very nice.

Our server Derrick was incredible. Phenomenal service and took care of us the entire time. The most formal dining service restaurant in town with the best wine list. We will definitely be back.

Almost no vegetarian options, which is very disappointing. There were some incredibly loud, obnoxious guests there as well which detracted from the overall atmosphere. Overall I felt the price was too much for the experience I recieved, but perhaps it was a bad night.

Always love the staffs attentiveness, service and ambiance A+

Outstanding careful service! Great food!

We went to Café Central to celebrate our anniversary and this was the first time there since COVID-19 started. Everything was great. Sometimes it can get loud but with reduced seating it was much quieter and you could easily hear each other talk. Our server, Joey was very attentive and provided top level service we have come to expect. He was good enough to ask for by name the next time we dine there. As always, the Chilean Seabass and ribeye were perfect. You can never go wrong choosing Café Central.
