What People Are Saying About Central 37
The Editor
Gerrish Lopez
Citysearch
In Short – Central 37 offers a range of dining experiences, from the first-floor candle-lit lounge to the white tablecloths on the second floor, to private dining on the third. The after-work crowd meets here for specialty cocktails such as the Brazilian Yuzu Bat (Cachaca, Cointreau, and yuzu juice) or a blackberry bellini. Diners enjoy innovative dishes such as grilled squab over scallion pancakes, cumin-dusted sea bass, and oxtail cannelloni, guided by friendly and attentive staff.

Overpriced and Rude!
by disgustedinboston at Citysearch
We spent a great deal of money for a function at Central 37. Of course, we thought the picturesque views would more than compensate for the outrageous prices. Not so much.... Not only was the food (and drink!) severly overpriced, it was cold and unappealing. Additinally, after spending too much, we experienced intolerant managers and absurdly ignorant bouncers. We will never go back..... Wish we hadn't wasn't our time and money in the first place. Hope you don't make the same mistake we did!

$5 Bread Charge
by tlcboston at Citysearch
Last evening I dined at 37 Central with friends. After ordering a $80 round at the bar, we sat down for dinner. While waiting for our food to arrive, we asked for bread and were told that would be a $5 charge. Hmmm... we had just ordered two bottles of wine, apps for the table and $25-30 entrees... shouldn't bread be complimentary?!? We got the charge waived, but that was only AFTER asking to speak with management. Clearly the new owners do NOT know how to run a business. No wonder we were the only people dining in the establishment. Service aside, the food was actually quite good.

New management takes turn for the worse
by bostonguy12 at Citysearch
When central 37 was the black rhino it was a great out of the way place. Now the new management has completely ruined it. Guys should be prepared to get direct to the "club" entrance for a 20 dollar cover. I say club in quotes because it's one room with a bad lighting system and no one dances. The only good place is the roof deck but unfortunately it is tiny and they don't serve beer from the tap up there anymore. The staff are complete jerks. My friend had his birthday there and they just invented reasons to not let two of our guys in. This place is horrendous now and should be avoided at all costs.
- Pros: The roof deck when it isn't packed to overflowing
- Cons: bad service, poor location, horrible prices (20 dollar cover), staff is on a power trip
The Details on Central 37
The Extras:
Come summertime, a sunny roofdeck is perfect for after-work types looking to unwind.
