The restaurant Central rolled out a new menu on a busy Friday night, causing some delays and issues with pacing. However, the bang bang shrimp and lamb burgers were highlighted as standout dishes. While the ambience was criticized for being too bright and lacking charm, the kitchen received praise for offering delicious food at reasonable prices. There was also a negative experience shared by a group of women who felt unfairly treated by the host. Overall, the food was described as delicious, with standout dishes including short rib pasta and mushroom toast. Excellent service and a warm, inviting atmosphere were noted, with an appreciation for the unique drink list. The restaurant Chuck's was commended for holding a table despite a late arrival, serving amazing food, and providing excellent service. The noise level at Central was mentioned, and one dish was found to be overly salty, although the overall selection of tapas and desserts was enjoyable. Finally, a positive review was shared for a steakhouse in Banff, praising the friendly welcome, delicious fillet steak, and good ambience.

Was Kenna Treutel at Central a mag?
Food was delicious! Good service. We were a party of 4 and shared about 8 small plates. Specials of short rib pasta and shrimp tacos were great. Also loved the mushroom toast! They say they have live music starting at 8, but they actually started at 7, so it was a little loud (we booked a 6:30 reservation specifically so we wouldn't have to talk over the band). Otherwise, everything was wonderful. Would definitely go... View all feedback.

What Leon Ottesen dislikes about Central:
They had rolled out a new menu on a Friday night. I’m not sure why you do that on your busiest night of the week....some of the plates (bang bang shrimp) were not as good as previous visits. We over ordered and should have been warned by our server. Wait that night with the new menu was way. Too. Long. View all feedback.
