Can?t say enough about the freshness and quality of the food. Highly recommend the Caesar salad and Centralia House dinner which... includes a delicious filet and quality shrimp. Craig is an incredible guy and Centralia is blessed to have him in town. Will beback for many years to come. Order an old fashioned, you won?t be disappointed. -CH Read more
What they did well, they did very well! The rest? Well...? I'll begin by saying that the wait staff was prompt, courteous, and... attentive. The piano player was entertaining. The setting, almost historically perfect. The food, however, was a mixed bag -certainly not what I expected for the prices charged. While the bread and butter was excellent, the salads were under-dressed.While the folks in our party who had steaks seemed happy, the Cajun/Creole dishes were deeply disappointing. First, I didn'tunderstand what they were doing on a "fine dining" menu, they just didn't fit. But I gave it a shot and my Shrimp Creole lackedseasoning of any sort - I had to ask for Frank's Red Hot Sauce just to add some flavor (the bottle was mostly empty and had thatred crust around the top - better to season the food in the first place!). Now, I don't like my food excessively spicy, but alittle something, please? Maybe it was an off night for the kitchen staff, but I'm thinking it is time to hire a new chef andrevamp the menu - and please, when a large group (we were 15 total) makes reservations , please work a little harder at seatingeveryone together!

Good was really good. Service was good as well. Pricing is fair, especially considering the quality. Best place I've... experienced anywhere in the area. (Just don't let the outside fool you. It's hiding a nice little gem of a restaurant.) Read more
Nice friendly atmosphere. Good food. A little steep on prices but not to bad. Decent prices for the quality. Attentive and... friendly staff. Clean restaurant and bar. Nice place to have a decent dinner with your other half. Read more
I go here for the famous combo, petite filet and Centralia House Shrimp! The best steaks within a 100 miles bar none. The wait... staff is professional and the atmosphere has to be experienced to be appreciated! Bananas Foster for dessert gets flamed at thetable, a must try! Read more
I try calamari at every restaurant I can and this one was definitely higher up on my list. They were fresh and hot, not rubbery... or chewy. Their sauce with it was okay, but I could eat them plain. Their shrimp was delicious, wish I had more bread and moreroom to sop up that sauce. They ran out of penne on the night I went, but it was still pretty good with the fettuccine noodles,but in the end I really should have just gotten the fettuccine Alfredo. Read more
