    Herb Crusted New Zealand Lamb Chops and 9 Cheese Truffle Mac and Cheese

    This spot is a 10/10! The food is nice and fresh and the portion sizes are amazing. Can't wait to come back into town to try them out again.

    Herb Crusted New Zealand Lamb Chops - Four herb-crusted New Zealand lamb chops are served on a white plate, garnished with microgreens. The lamb chops are cooked with a dark herb crust and are accompanied by a sauce pooled on the plate. The setting includes a fork, knife, and napkin, with a water bottle visible in the background, indicating a dining environment.

    Food is all cooked to perfection! Service was extremely exceptional! I guarantee anything you order on the menu will taste amazing.

    Warm biscuits! - On an outdoor table, there is a white plate with four fried food items, possibly chicken or fish, garnished with microgreens. Next to the plate are a clear plastic water bottle and a green Perrier bottle. The background shows a street scene with a silver car passing by, a man walking, and storefronts including a pub named 'Wellington Pub' and a lounge. The setting appears to be in an urban area with buildings and signage visible.

    Wow! What an unexpected gem. I saw their menu posted in their window, and popped in to see if they were open. A cheerful woman greeted me and offered seating inside or out. I was torn between shrimp or lamb chops, and when I let her in on my dilemna, she shepherded me toward the lamb. I sat at one of the outside cafe tables and watched the city happen around me. She showed up quickly with a plate of warm, buttery, savory biscuits, water and complimentary Perrier or any soft drink. Turns out, my greeter was the co-owner with her chef-husband, and they decided to expand from their food truck to a physical restaurant, and took ownership of this location on March 9, 2020 - the day before the pre-Covid times ended. They had to scramble to remodel by themselves, and were saved by delivery and pick-up orders. They are doing strong weekend business, but I encourage anybody to visit them on a weekday (Thursday for me). Back to my food: the herb crusted lamb chops were seasoned and grilled to perfection, and the asparagus I chose as my side was perfectly crisp-tender. I had to ask about dessert, and the Ferraro Rocher torte was spectacular. Go! Eat! Enjoy! Support this lovely couple who lovingly put delicious food on the table!!

    Seasoned fried chicken with French toast.

    We really enjoyed our experience. Food took a little longer but that's because everything was made fresh to order. I'll take that any day. Costumer service was very good. Atmosphere was nice. All around great experience.

    The food was okay not great. They don't serve alcohol so we went to the jazz spot on the corner. The server was sweet and efficient.

    Center Square Grill is such a nice restaurant, and we usually always have the best experience here…read more Which is why I was surprised and disappointed during my most recent visit. My steak was overcooked and the Brussels sprouts were hard and undercooked. At first, we told our waitress everything was okay, but after more discussion toward the end of the meal, we decided the expensive steak was truly overdone and mentioned it. Our waitress was incredibly apologetic and immediately offered to have a new steak made and to take it off the bill. The manager was also so helpful and amazing in making things right. Even though the meal itself wasn't up to their usual standard, the way the situation was handled proves exactly why we keep coming back. Truly impeccable service and still one of our favorite spots.

We opted for a more tapas style light dinner. With sesame crusted tuna, Cobb salad, fondue tower, and calamari 1/2&1/2. We appreciated the 1/2 and 1/2 option for the calamari (1/2 Rhode island, 1/2 regular) but when the plate came you couldn't tell the divide. Which was an issue for those that don't want spicy. The bar was very busy and the cocktail menu seems very good. So I can definitely see this place as your after work dinner with friends place to be. But for a calm casual dinner - maybe not. Overall it is a good place. But probably not for everyone - but doesn't need to be.

No reservations, so get there early! An automatic bonus star for original craft cocktails and dinner specials. I abhor restaurants that rely on staple meal choices, forgetting that people need variety from the ho hum they make at home ( or can make at home- like Wood and Tap. Boo.). I love a place like this where you can look at the menu and see at least two or three things that make you think "WOW, what will I choose?". The restaurant is very bright with many high top tables. It would have felt conspicuously weird to take photos in the full-capacity situation we were in. There's also a gentleman playing acoustic guitar and singing Christmas music. Nicely done, with a professional voice and playing style. I would say, the only downside was that there didn't seem to be a consistency of how people were waiting on tables, so simple things like a set of silverware missed at our table, and then somebody brought a set and didn't bring napkins. Then one of us received the completely wrong meal and we had a delay in getting it corrected while we were already on a tight schedule with the other flubs to make the show on time. It was scattered issues like that all night that kept this from being a five star experience. It

    I took a friend here cause we went there last year for her birthday and she requested to go again…read morebecause we both enjoyed the Redfish Novelle dish which once again was flavorful and enjoyable. I did feel that the presentation could have been a little cleaner and a little more rice but the dish still held our tastebuds satisfied. We are both gluten free which can be difficult . We ordered their price fix menu which included salad, main dish and desert. We decided that was a good choice. The salad came with a lot of unsavory dead end pieces in it which immediately affects the taste and look of the salad. I would give that a very poor presentation with just a small amount of taste. The deserts that came with it were all gluten deserts. That required us to order an extra dish, the bananas foster which should be good. The presentation was not good at all. The bananas were not caramelized which is part of this signature dish and the bananas were mushy and tasteless. It came topped with ice cream. All in all a disappointing addition we had to pay for. The service was very good and I did tell the waiter of our disappointment with the bananas foster and he said " I am sorry" , I guess I should have asked for the manager but the waiter did suggest to take home the two deserts that we were owed. My husband would probably enjoy them. The cheese cake was very disappointing. It was dull, heavy and tasteless, I took a taste of the cheese parts. The apple strudel passable. They can do better. I know they have a large volume clientele but taste and presentation are key to returning customers at least it is to this customer and her friend. It will be awhile until we venture there again. Maybe they will take this review seriously and make some changes. I would suggest adding a gluten free desert offering to the price fix desert menu like flourless chocolate cake or chocolate mousse something if you want to attract a larger more versatile clientele. The redfish novelle is a very nice dish that I do recommend.

My waitress was awesome very friendly, quick to get me my order quick to get me my drink, I asked her about the menu. She was very happy to help with what she thought was good. I told her what I was looking at, and she suggested the four course Special where I could choose most of the things I wanted. And they did it for a price that was more than reasonable I was actually shocked that it was such a low cost. The food was delicious. I could eat a whole bowl of those brussels sprouts and nothing else and been happy. The salmon was cooked perfectly at the top it all off I had dessert which I hardly ever do and that apple strudel was delicious. I was a little confused by the layout of the restaurant, but it still seems inviting and warm. There was absolutely nothing negative about this place it just didn't have a flow to it if that makes sense. There was a lower dining area and there were some wall between the bar and part of the dining room, but the wall had windows it almost felt like an addition put in later but it wasn't. I don't know I'm not a restaurant designer. The most important part is that the atmosphere was great. The food was better and the staff was awesome. I will be coming back in soon and probably every time I come into town, which I hope is more often just so I can eat here again

    This is an adorable small restaurant. We walked in after 7pm on a Tuesday and got a table right…read moreaway but the place was mostly full. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. The menu has variety but is not big, maybe half a dozen choices for each course. There was a great wine list (again not pages long but good quality without over the top prices) and also a list of house cocktails. We had a beet salad, French onion soup, chicken Gorgonzola pasta and a roasted pear and spinach salad with grilled salmon. Beet salad was warm with marinated goat cheese balls. Soup was rich and earthy without being overly greasy. It warmed me through after a cold day in the expo center. The pasta dish was savory and creamy from the Gorgonzola and also had a touch of sweetness from butternut squash. The pears on the salad were fresh roasted and warm. They were aldente which was a great texture contrast to the spinach and pecans and salmon. Salmon was cooked perfectly to medium rare. So glad we finally found a small place with great food in Springfield. Extra plus it's not in a high traffic area to easy to get to!!

I truly appreciate how kind the staff was, but overall, the food and drinks didn't live up to my expectations.
