Editorial Review for Central Kitchen – by Citysearch Staff

In Short
Perched on the confluence of alternative and yuppie life, Central Kitchen is resplendent in dark wood and copper tables. A long, stylish slate tile bar spans the room, where young Cantabrigians cool their heels over wines by the glass. The menu, best described as Mediterranean-inspired comfort fare, includes items like mussels steamed in Stella Artois and double-thick pork chop with apricot confit.

I will keep this simple and to the point . My friend and I both had the veal and after a few bites we looked at each other and said this tastes exactly like beef stew from a can, at best. Since you are paying over $100 for dinner, there are too many better restaurants in the area, go somewhere, anywhere, else.

In trying to be hip, the servers just succeed at being rude. The wine list is exceptional, food so-so.

Pros: good wine list

Cons: horrible service, so so food
