    We had a wonderful time here, our first time eating here. Loved the decor and ambiance in both of the rooms, classy and welcoming. They have a large menu, so much to choose from. We shared an order of their puffed bread, it's not on the menu. Then we had the crab & avocado stack, which was excellent and the mussels in white sauce, the sauce was a little too salty. We also shared the seafood boulibaise made with grouper, which was yummy. For dessert we had the dark chocolate mousse and the pistachio tartuffo. The entertainment was top notch. They had 2 singers, male and female, she had an amazing voice. Over the course of the night people were up dancing on a small area in the middle of the room. I'm definitely coming back.

    Been in business since2006 so must be doing things right. Located in the best spot at corner of Main Street in Northwood. Started off in two largish rooms and added another room to make quite a large restaurant. They have delightful pizza. Good service and reasonable parking. They offer other food items in a cafe sort of way. They also have jazz and other live entertainment nights which seem to get fully booked. Cool place

    I was absolutely thrilled that I chose this restaurant for my Friday lunch date. Located in the revitalized Northwood area in Palm Beach, this is a good sized restaurant with a piano bistro vibe that would be a great place for either lunch or dinner. The decor was artistic with a thrift store feel. I loved how they repurposed their empty Clase Azul Tequila bottles in table lamp and the large chandelier was cut pvc pipes holding the lightbulbs. As for the food and service, they too were great. My server Devyn was totally on top of everything. Beverages refilled, appetizer brought out hot, and main course followed shortly after. The Arancini appetizer was creamy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The Meatball Hoagie Sandwich was filled with chopped meatballs which made is not messy at all to eat and the gooey cheese held it all together inside the soft baked roll. The Greek Salad with added Salmon was prepared perfectly. Cold salad with the right amount of toppings and dressing underneath a medium rare filet of salmon was very good. Portions are generous and prices are great for the area of town. There is some lovely outside seating and inside there is a night time vibrant bar scene with piano music. Parking is limited but free on the street with no overnight parking allowed. After the meal, it is nice to take a stroll along the sidewalk to see the local businesses.

    This was disappointing and I really wanted to like Cafe Centro as the staff is great and the vibe is laidback and welcoming, however the Olive Garden like Italian food I tried had no connection to authenticity and just as bad, the quality was questionable. A pasta with pesto dish was drowning in a heavy cream like sauce and that's not something you see in authentic Italian restaurants and while I can see a light cream sauce for an Americanized version, the dish served was drowning in the heavy sauce. I grew up eating homemade pesto and the sauce is simple and variations aside consists of: Fresh basil, not supermarket basil (hard to find but worth the search) Pignoli nuts A good olive oil Firm garlic Quality Pecorino cheese (or a similar cheese) Non commercial Parmesan cheese Their version was simply disgusting and an affront to good pesto. The quality or cooking method made a Chicken dish impossible to cut - and eat. A pasta item was overcooked, even though it was requested al dente and the sauce was of the flavorless red variety which could not be consumed. Other items were somewhat consistent with those mentioned. It's a shame because the staff is very nice and I hear that the entertainment is good.

    Wow! This was one of the best nights out in a while! The company, the food, ambience, and entertainment especially... Everything was phenomenal. Be prepared to dance and have a wonderful time! Some highlights from the menu were the beet salad and the mushroom pizza. The salad dressing was light and tasty and the beets were delicious. The pizza was a perfect serving size to get full and have leftovers for lunch the next day and the crust is thin and delicious. We also had a couple of drinks and they were strong and very yummy. I really enjoyed the espresso martini. The service was so fast and friendly as well! I will definitely be back!

    Not on the menu puff bread---inflated buttered pita!

    Such a fun evening in the piano bar listening to Copeland Davis! What a talent! Enjoyed the puff bread and the special lemon sole---Gina was an attentive and knowledgeable server. Our party of eight all raved about the evening over nightcaps of espresso martinis!

    OMG Cafe Centro in Northwood West Palm Beach...you need to go! Went there last night for the first time there were 12 of us ladies for a birthday... I tasted almost everyone's food and was in heaven for the whole night. Beautiful ambience, terrific servers, wonderful music and some of the best food I've had since Nonna Maria's closed. Sorry, I only got photos of some of the main dishes and none of the spectacular appetizers or desserts we had as I was too busy inhaling all the scrumptiousness...winner of the night was a ricotta with hot honey app that we couldn't get enough of...run don't walk to this gem!!!!

    Another extraordinary night of jazz, dinner, and fun for a group of us enjoyed a great night out. I went with a delicious pork chop, and it was perfectly cooked with their roasted cream corn. Apps I had the Roasted Delicious Chicken Wings. It's a little pricey but so good. my wife had the seafood over linguine. corn was so tasty! Our waiter was excellent and kept checking to make sure we were doing perfect.

    Is this a true piano bar, where we can sit AROUND the piano?

    We have tables around the piano and we move tables later in the evening to accommodate the dancing.

Ordered the traditional Mootz pizza (cheese pizza) and added pepperoni and sausage to it. The toppings were both crunchy and juicy (plenty to choose from), the crust itself was thin and crispy, with the perfect amount of both cheese and sauce. I also tried their buffalo chicken pizza- with both their ranch and blue cheese sauces (several sauces to choose from)- and thought those flavors were tasty too!! Appreciate that they have several sizes of the pizzas, with many custom options available, and that the food is priced NORMAL here. Not overpriced like the rest of Palm Beach. They also have several other delicious options- wings, sandwiches, pasta, salads, and desserts, to name a few. I did order delivery both times- so avoided the sketchy area and parking issues I'm reading about in other reviews. Pizza holds up great during the delivery. Agree with Dave Portnoy's 8.4 review!!

First, if you haven't taken advantage of their Tuesday wing special--just $1 per wing--you're missing out on one of the best deals around. But the real surprise was the quality. These are, without question, the best chicken wings I've had in at least a decade. Honestly, I can't even remember the last time I had wings this good. They were perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. I came in expecting the great pizza I've always loved, but I left with a new favorite on the menu. Ah-Beetz has officially earned the title of my go-to spot for wings as well. If you've only been ordering the pizza like I have all these years, do yourself a favor and order the wings next time--especially on Tuesday. You can thank me later!

I ordered the spaghetti carbonara and it was honestly awful -- completely drowning in butter with almost no flavor. It didn't taste like carbonara at all, just heavy and greasy. The prosciutto and mozzarella was also disappointing. The mozzarella was hard instead of soft and fresh, and the dish overall just wasn't enjoyable. My boyfriend ordered the steak and eggs and specifically asked for his steak medium, but it came out very clearly medium rare. Overall, almost everything we ordered was a miss. For a restaurant that looks so beautiful and has such a nice atmosphere, I really expected the food and drinks to be on the same level. Unfortunately, I wouldn't come back based on this experience.

I just want to touch base about my most recent visit to Lenora's. I've been to this location about three times. This is the location on Dixie Highway. They have open air seating, which is really nice on most evenings. This particular evening we arrived about 30 minutes before they were scheduled to close more like 35 minutes before they were scheduled to close at 10 PM. It was a Friday night. We ordered a pizza and the rigatoni with mushrooms and cream sauce and I wanted to add a piece of salmon to it. After we sat down, my boyfriend's pizza came out in about seven minutes maximum. It was piping hot. The cheese was kind of sloppy and all over the place. It didn't really look like it was made with love. But he said it was good. My food however, took about 20 to 25 minutes longer than his pizza did. He was done eating his entire pizza before my food came out. That's never a good situation. They could've at least warned us of that, or let us know that that would be the case if they didn't realize it until they started making the food. There were only two other tables there. Once my food did come out, the salmon that I added for protein was almost $15. Obscene! I could get almost 3 pounds of salmon for that amount. It was maybe a 6 ounce piece maybe. And when they brought it out, it was raw in the middle. So I had to send it back and that was not met with a positive attitude, even though we brought up the issue with a very positive attitude despite having to wait almost 30 minutes for me to even get my food after my boyfriend had finished his pizza. They brought the salmon back and when they returned it, the employee was very pleasant and asked if I wanted to check it first. I ended up eating half of the pasta and packing the rest up to take home because by this time it was a few minutes after 10 o'clock and we didn't want to sit there as the only table left when we knew that they were obviously ready for closing time. One thing I must say is that I think divine intervention kept me in a great mood because they played my favorite journey song, they played my favorite song of all time, which is Tears for Fears. Everybody wants to rule the world, and then they played Bob Seger, who is definitely the artist who would've been my boyfriend or at least my celebrity crush had I've been born a few years earlier.
