Pretty decent place, stuff is super nice, drinks are good and food in great. Worth the money for sure. By some reason there’s always no wait (compared to other worse places in the area) Highly recommend for weekend night chill !

Central Bar Restaurant is a beautiful spot that’s perfect for a romantic evening out or a casual dinner with friends or colleagues. The ambiance strikes a great balance between lively and relaxed, making it ideal for a variety of occasions. The night I dined, there was a live two-person band performing 90s rock music, and the volume was just right—pleasant without ever being overwhelming. It really added to the atmosphere without taking away from the dining experience. Though I forgot to note what drinks I had, they were fantastic. The star of the evening, however, was the prawn linguini. It was absolutely delicious, with the perfect portion size that left me with plenty to take home and enjoy later. If you're looking for a spot with great food, drinks, and a lively yet comfortable vibe, Central Bar Restaurant is a must-visit!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Central Bar in Bellevue, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for both casual meals and special occasions. **Grilled Pork Chops:** The grilled pork chops were cooked to perfection. Juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor, they were paired with a delectable mushroom sauce that complemented the meat beautifully. The presentation was top-notch, with a side of perfectly roasted potatoes and a fresh garnish that added a nice touch of color and texture. **Grilled Salmon:** The grilled salmon was another standout dish. Expertly seasoned and grilled, the salmon was tender and flaky, served atop a bed of green beans and rice. The tropical salsa on top added a refreshing burst of flavor, balancing the richness of the salmon perfectly. This dish was as visually appealing as it was delicious. **Service and Atmosphere:** The service at Central Bar is outstanding. The staff are attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. The atmosphere is cozy yet vibrant, with a great selection of drinks to complement the food. Whether you're here for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, you’ll feel right at home. **Overall Experience:** Central Bar is a must-visit for anyone in the Bellevue area. The quality of the food, the excellent service, and the inviting atmosphere make it a perfect spot for any occasion. Highly recommended!

I've been here many times, and each time it's a very positive experience. Most recently we went for a team dinner after an escape room and it was a nice, long, fabulous time! Our server really took care of us and made sure we had everything we needed. The cocktails were superb (Sage Smash, yum!) and the food was delish. My co-worker has a lot of food sensitivities and they took super care of her, too. Can't wait to go again.

Everything was wonderful! We got the fish and chips and shared the mushroom fries and everything was amazing! Can’t wait to go again- nice drink selection, nice atmosphere.

This is the fourth year we’ve celebrated our girls annual Christmas breakfast at Central in Bellevue. The staff has always been super accommodating and since we have a large party of 21 people, we know that we take up a lot lot of room, but the service has always been on point, the food has been excellent, and the staff has been amazing. ( Eggs Benedict is fabulous!) Definitely a great place to go for large parties with a festive feel!

I had a Happy Hour/Event for around 40 people here the other day and it was fantastic. Out of the 4x restaurants/bars in the area that I was assessing for the event, they were the best to deal with. The small plate menu was well defined and the food was top notch. All the drinks were good, and the servers were highly professional and attentive - Big thanks to Cody and her team! I recommend this place to anyone for an event, drinks, or dinner.
