We went on a Saturday night and had an absolute blast here. There is entertainment (weekends only, not sure) but it's kind of irreverent and free flowing with a talented singer/performer that also plays the piano. A regular customer also plays the piano well and freed up the "pro" to moved around the room and to the outside patio. This is not a sit and watch the show and applaud. It's like a happening with some customers joining in song, clapping and dancing when the feeling moves you. The bartender hits the tambourine and gets the hanging bar lights to swing to the rhythm. Later in the evening they set off some fireworks in front of the building. We'll get to the food in a second but this place is for the 35 to 60's year old crowd and made for fun! Also, all of the above takes place while you're still eating and drinking and that makes it all the better. Our waiter and the service in general were excellent and one server will pick up the slack for another so you're always well handled. We had a couple of Caesar salads and Spring salads. I'm finding all Caesar salads in restaurants are just average. Haven't had a good one since it was made table side. Nonetheless, our table had for entrees; Mussels, Osso Bucco (very tender), and Linguine alla Carbonara. All were really good, served hot and prepared in a classic Italian style. The food is good (and relatively reasonably priced) with excellent service and deserves 4 stars. The vibe, music and fun earns a strong 5 stars. I haven't had this much fun since I saw my mother-in-law's picture on a milk carton. read more

Outstanding. Everything about the night. Starting with when I parked the car and walked down the street - my brother asked me if I wanted Italian or seafood. With the smell of garlic wafting through the air - the answer was a given - Italian! It was a Sunday night at 7:30 and still almost every table was taken. We sat at a table in the back and were able to see the whole room from there. Which turned out to be a huge plus once the piano player came on. He was young, dressed in a white tux and had an afro - didn't look promising. Slap! Another lesson in "Don't judge a book by it's afro!". He was great! Had the room joining in on songs in no time. Did all the classics - Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darrin, and even Bobby McFarren. There was a table of "wise" women having dinner who got up and danced to a couple of songs - solo - and they stole the show! As far as the food goes..... they start you off with this decadent roll. Yes - just one roll. For chronic overeaters like me - there was a momentary let down - but once you bite into to this roll laden with just enought oil not to turn off anyone with healthy leanings - you will forgive them for only serving one. Even after devouring it and wanting to ask for another - I was glad I didn't. It left plenty of room for a lovely Caprese salad. Simple AND delicious. The tomatoes were not just obiligatory - they were flavorful, the fresh mozzarella warm and textured. I ordered the Fettuccine D' Aragosta fettuccine as my main course. I was very pleasantly surprised with the amount of lobster in the dish. Adding to the flavor were leeks, fresh tomato, and basil which was tehn finished off in a brandy cream sauce. My brother had a similar dish made with chicken. His had the addition of mushrooms. He thoroughly enjoyed his - bit I had no interest whatsoever in even tasting it because mine was so outstanding! Every last bite had lobster in it! I could not have been happier. I rarely have anything after dinner - but I had a long drive back to Orlando and the piano player was doing such a great job that I wanted to extend the night. I ordered an espresso to top off the night. I'm glad I did. The entertainment was so much fun - a great mix of the entertainer and the crowd - and the espresso with a small piece of cookie on the saucer was just the perfect ending to a perfect meal. I can't wait to go back. My only concern is the angst that I know I am going to experience because everything on the menu sounds so good ...... but I don't know if I could pass up that lobster dish again....ever......... I know I'll go back - so I'll let you know. read more

Recieved a doordash order from them, got a chicken parm sub that was almost raw inside, the bolognese was inedible. I ordered 6 garlic rolls that came in a pizza box they hooked it up and put like 10 in there thanks for trying but a small cockroach came running out when I opened it....waiting on doordash to contact them read more

Fabuloso!! Highly highly recommended. A must is the sea salt or garlic butter Puff bread. It arrives at the table all puffed up filled with hot moist air. Then it is pressed down on, and then it's flat bread. Excellent pizza. Excellent salads. The BEST FRENCH FRIES ever! Great wraps. You can't go wrong eating here. Lunches $11-16. read more

Beautiful restaurant with divine food! Beautifully plated! We had the pleasure of being waited on by Chelsea and Jose who both were so very kind, attentive, and really went over and beyond! The entertainment was unbelievable! We also had the pleasure to meet the owner, Mr. Sal & Mrs. Joy, who were absolutely wonderful and welcoming! Love this place and would recommended to anyone and everyone! This place is a must for delicious food, wonderful staff, and wonderful entertainment Lilian & Maycol read more

We had a wonderful night, great food, ambiance and a classy fun crowd. It was Friday night and the entertainment was so enjoyable read more

I wish I could give half stars, because this would be a 3.5. I've only been here once - and had a calzone. It was quite delicious. However, their service was not great. We had to wait forever for our water glasses to be filled... and when I was looking for the waiter to ask for salad dressing, I found him texting on his phone. Annoying! I was here mid-day and it was pretty dead... but I've been told it gets very busy with a great crowd in the evenings. Worth checking out. read more

I had called in earlier in the afternoon yesterday to ask about their evening entertainment and made a reservation for the evening and to be seated near or within earshot of the musical entertainment and when we arrived, we were informed that there wasn't a table for us which was disappointing. Throughout the evening, the food, entertainment, and staff's behavior made up for their disappointing action. Here's how. This is a quiet, relaxing, and romantic Italian restaurant. Casual attire but you and your date can dress up nice if you like. The male singer is the best. He doesn't only limit himself to singing and entertaining the people inside the restaurant but outdoors and across the street too; and he does a really good job at it. He works hard for tips so be sure to bring extra cash for him and if you are doing valet. This was our first time here and I felt luck was on our side. We started off with the lentil soup and eggplant rollitini which both were fantastic and we highly recommend. We also had some white Riesling to go with it. The waiter we had was very sweet, patient, and took good care of us. He suggested a brilliant idea for me to enjoy the Riesling by adding club soda to make the wine bubbly and he was right; the wine tasted so much more enjoyable and we had a bottle for two. For our entrees, we had the veal and yellowtail snapper. It was very well presented and delicious. We highly recommend these dishes as well. Desserts followed after and we also highly recommend but watch out, some of these do contain nuts. My boyfriend had the chocolate mousse cake while I tried the tartufo pistachio with an open mind and we had great choices! When we received our check, I was surprised that our tab was only around $100 because I was expecting it to be way more than that because of the romantic aroma, live entertainment, and fancy set up. By the end of the evening, we figured it was a good idea to walk around the block to burn all this food we ate which we did but we also didn't feel bloated from the food. Anyway, considering many Italian restaurants do make their foods heavy, this one in fact did the opposite and honestly, I must say, it is worth a try and the experience. read more

The food might be great, awful, or somewhere in between. I ordered a pizza for delivery, got my confirmation (on screen), and waited - it never arrived. An hour later I called the Cafe for an ETA. The lady was apologetic but said they're system (with the "Eat24" service, I guess) had been down and they did not receive my order. My only restaurant criticism is that if the "system is down," notify the food delivery agents (e.g., EAT24, et al) and instruct them to not take orders for you. I know, it's all automated but ... come on, the restaurant probably could have done something. My review is not about the food; the reviews seem good. But DO NOT order online! read more

Sorry I'm late for righting a review since I was at Cafe Centro with the founder of a non-profit organization that I became a board member in, along with other volunteers two weeks prior for a volunteer appreciation dinner. However, I must say the food that was displayed in buffet style was excellent, from the charcuterie board to the main course of salad, pasta, and risotto balls were good, as well as the pinot grigio I drank. The service was wonderful, especially the waiter who served everybody with their food and drinks. The ambiance was great, with decorations of lights lining the window and the music playing through the speakers of piano was setting the mood just right for a weeknight dinner for a group of volunteers. I would recommend others to visit there. I apologize again for my tardiness of writing a review, after I wrote two reviews for a tea house I visited for two events scheduled within months of each other, on the same day after coming home from them. read more

I was At the restaurant last night with that 20 people for a birthday party. Ran into a couple that owe me money for work performed. They came over to my table and started screaming... And the owner would not ask them to stop bothering me because he later said to me that they are good customers and the man Works for the sheriffs' department!!!!! With these days of women's rights it was astounding! That all that the owner cared about was a good customer versus people threatening To hurt a woman! Ps The food is overpriced and bland. I would give it a no stars if I was able to read more

My absolute favorite Italian restaurant in the area. Not only is the food amazing but the staff is probably the nicest you will encounter. Super friendly and ALWAYS trying to accommodate you in every way, seriously have never ran into an employee in a bad mood. To top it all off every dessert is impeccable. Can't go wrong with Cafe Centro! Oh, did I mention, dog friendly!!!!!!! read more

Outstanding! Went on a Wednesday night because we heard the music was fantastic. That may be one of the biggest understatements I've ever heard. Copeland Davis Duo - some of the most incredible piano music I've ever heard accompanied by a great bass player. Wow! Four of us went, all enjoyed very good food and service as well. We live a bit north but this will be a monthly trip for us ongoing - just to get lost in that music. Highly recommend! read more

First time yesterday! Great food, great atmosphere, great service. Thank you Matt, we enjoyed the food. read more

Food was good service was horrible. First off the drink order was completely wrong. The waitress told us she couldn't take them back without getting into trouble since it was her first week. Than after she tried to fix the problem we waited about 45 minutes for her to take our order. Than when they brought out the appetizers they also brought out the entries. I told her this was unacceptable and I told her to bring the entries back to the kitchen. About 15 minutes later another waitress came over and took over our table and informed us that they let the other waitress go. Oops. At no time did a manager come over to our table to find out what the problems were or if there was anything they could do. We were a table of six. Will never be back. Bad service and no reasonable accommodations offered. read more

Wow. Better than I expected. I was looking for a specific dish- carbonara. I came in and had honestly low expectations because I was only in town for work and the area was empty. Restaurant wasn't packed, and only had people seated in the piano room. I was offered a side salad (great upsell skills by the waitress by the way) which was okay- I ordered the Ceasar and I felt like there were many pieces of the salad that did not have dressing. My carbonara came and it tasted so authentic! Instead of bacon, came with pork belly. It was so creamy and delicious. Would have been better if the pasta wasn't over cooked but it was okay due to the taste. I finished off with tiramisu which is creamier than most tiramisus I've eaten. Overall, with the live music and the server checking on me multiple times, I had an amazing experience! read more

Brought friends in from Michigan. Confirmed reservation in the piano bar, and when we arrived we are put in the back room. Totally unacceptable. We left , why would you stay for the food? We only came for the entertainment. So Long Café Centro read more

Pros: If you are 65 and up, it can get busy for that age range at night. It is known for being the "silver-back" restaurant. If you can get inside the small piano room,which is the only place you can hear the music really, it has some entertainment. Some people do not like that because it gets hot and sweaty and more night club for older people. It is a much older crowd. The rest of the restaurant is non-eventful. So, it depends on what you are looking for. Moderate food for Italian. Just average. This place is more for if you can get in that piano area. No one brags about the food. Cons: Empty during the day, so ambiance is limited. Pretty non-eventful outside seating day and night, since the food is average. Dangerous peripheral neighborhoods on all sides of entrance. Just be careful- high crime area. Poor customer service: Person who answers phone is not nice or customer-service oriented at all. She talks to you like the soup guy from Seinfeld. There is not a warm feeling at all. They repeat a lot how busy they are, and so they have a strong arrogance. You are not valued. Be very careful, they will give your table away in a heart-beat! Here is the latest with what they did- our final attempt to enjoy this restaurant. There are other piano gigs now at other places. Last straw- On September 10th we called and made a reservation for birthday party two months in advance for November. It was made clear during the reservation that it was a birthday. Never once did they say they would give the reservation away without confirmation. So, the day before the reservation- they called and did not leave a message to confirm. This was Black Friday- the day after Thanksgiving and I had guests in town etc and never saw a message and did not get a call. My apologies. This is a very busy day. It was Thanksgiving week, so I did not think to call them (as I had a solid reservation). Anyway, we called to ask a question (all ready to go out the door) and the lady answered and told us she gave our reservation away. At first she pretended not to recognize our names and acted like she had no idea that I had a reservation. She made me list two names and still said she did not see us on the list , then finally admitted she gave it away. She was rude, had zero concern that it was a birthday party- and let me tell you...it was weird. It was like she almost enjoyed telling us no. She was THAT cold about it. Then, another person in our party wanted to speak to a manager. All the management repeated was they are a busy restaurant and sorry. They have to keep their tables full. They just kept saying that- sorry about your luck. They never said let's see what we can do or anything. The strange part is if they are THAT busy, they could have filled that spot so easily if a no show came. They gave it away so easily. Truly busy means quick filled spot. Also, they never told me my reservation was contingent on confirmation. A reservation should be solid unless otherwise noted. I understand that it is important they fill their tables, but the arrogance and rudeness was pretty much obvious. Literally, this was our birthday party. I even offered to reduce the size of our party and explained it was that important to us. I repeated over and over that it was a birthday and if they could still fit us in somewhere because the piano thing was what was the reason we were going and they just coldly refused. They never said let us see what we can do- nothing. They were not concerned and did not feel bad even one bit about the human side or show any concern in tone. I was actually pretty blown away (the lady who makes reservations is the worst customer service person I have experienced on numerous occasions). So, make sure you understand they are tough on you if you don't answer a phone (even during holiday). They will not hold reservations for you, and they will repeat over and over they are great and busy, and are not concerned about you. If anything, my review will help you keep your reservations and not ruin an important event. read more

Delicious sandwich and salad served on the sidewalk cafe tables. On a warm breezy Spring day in Palm Beach, what could be better?!

Cafe Centro is a beautiful restaurant located downtown West Palm Beach with live entertainment. Crab Avocado Bruschetta, Shrimp Pesto Capellini, and Tiramisu, very nice. The atmosphere is lively and the waiters could not be more accommodating. Enjoyed the food and the Jazz musicians at the piano bar. read more

The stars are for the entertainment only. The waitstaff and food were terrible...or at least our waiter and the woman helping him were terrible. We were brought here by friends who swore by it and even they were annoyed ten minutes into our visit. The waiter was rude, condescending, and kind of a jerk. He also kept touching me on the shoulder and arm and I was ready to lay him out if he kept it up. It wasn't a sweet, friendly gesture. It was intimidating and condescending and very apparent in his attitude when he came to our table. He also rudely called out our friends when they weren't aware of a policy change that was obviously very new and it made everyone at the table uncomfortable and I felt bad for our friends, who are better people than I am because I was ready to rage and walk out. Our friends deserved better than that. The rest of us were just along for the ride and I can tell you that none of us were impressed enough to consider ourselves future customers. The woman who helped deliver the food (maybe a hostess?) reached over me to give food to the person next to me and shoved both her armpits in my face (like, boxed in my head with her arms) without excusing herself or giving me the chance to move out of her way. It was in the 80s and had been raining, so, yeah the weather made an impact on the status of her pits. The food was bland at best. I wasn't impressed. The entertainment was good, but the crowd skewed old and the poor guy had to play the same old standards you'll hear at your grandparent's mid-priced country club. He's talented, though, and made them bearable if not actually fun (although there's no saving Bad Bad Leroy Brown, I'm sorry. I don't know why someone requested that) until he could move on to some more modern stuff. I don't know if the crowd is always so 65+, though, and we're not making the drive again to find out. The entertainer deserves a better venue because he's talented and fun and knew how to work the crowd. The place itself is too small to shove in that many bodies. People were wedged in against the walls and windows and there is only ONE bathroom for each gender. Like, not even stalled bathrooms. Just one toilet. The music does get pretty loud for such a small space. Maybe it was a bad night, I don't know. But considering the drive required to get there, we won't be back to see if that was the case. read more

Where do I begin the tale of this love affair? About 3 years ago I had a friend celebrate her Birthday here and I had never been and what a delightful surprise! The moment I saw the puffed garlic bread I knew I was in for something good! I call it Italian puri! It is divine! Then I tried the tried the grilled octopus appetizer...ladies and gents stick a fork in me I am DONE! Amazing! PERFECTION!!! DIVINE and SUBLIME!! The oysters are also amazing, the mushroom flat bread is ALSO amazing as is the pork chop for dinner or the chicken marsala (bone in!!!)...let me be honest...the beet salad is too. Just go EAT HERE!! Seriously! Even the octopus ordered thru local delivery was still flawless!! The tiramisu is heaven (it goes quick so order it when you order your dinner).They also often have live entertainment. So if you like ambiance, phenomenal food and a true dining experience then GO! You will be absolutely delighted! read more

This place is adorable. Went here a few weeks ago with my boyfriend for a nice romantic dinner-- showed up without reservations around 8 on a Saturday night and were seated with no problem. The piano bar sounded like it was a good time, but we were too tired to check it out. Our salads were good, the pizza was great, and the tiramisu was rich. Finishing off dinner with a Lemoncello is the only way to go, and while the one here tasted a bit off, it was still pretty good. And after checking in on Foursquare, I was able to get a free dessert. My only complaint about this place is that there were a group of workers who stood somewhat close to where we were sitting and kept making fun of the clientele, sometimes in languages other than English, sometimes not. It was kind of obnoxious to have that going on in the background of an otherwise enjoyable meal, especially when all of the girls at once would get going on their girl squeals. But hey, make the most of it and move on. It would have been a five star night without that, but we'll still be back. read more

Very eclectic piano bar room . Make reservations! The food is decent, I ordered the beet salad and the chicken Marsala , both average but edible. Food is priced a little in high end but the big draw here is the entertainment . Jay the piano man knows more songs from more decades than any other local musician. He has fun with the crowd and everyone is having a great evening singing and dancing. The service was very good and I look forward to coming here again. read more

My family went here for dinner on Mother's Day and overall it was below expectations and below average food and service. The Cafe itself appears to be one third of a three part restaurant: an upscale cafe, a pizza place, and a piano bar/lounge. We dined at the upscale cafe. The interior is pretty with high ceilings with visible wood beams. The windows do not look out onto anything special. There is some outdoor dining. We ate inside. The waitress, upon being seated, took our drink order and removed the glasses from the table, and returned with the drinks. I was surprised that we were not given water in addition to our drinks. When she returned she rattled off some specials and was unable to answer a simple question about what cut of chicken is served in a chicken dish. Our waitress seemed to be slightly absent minded for the entirety of the evening...forgetting to check up on us, failing to refill glasses, and just being generally inattentive. As for food, I started off with the Tuscan Plate, which was prosciutto and melon. They were skimpy with the prosciutto and the melon was too firm and not sweet enough. My father's mussels were served in an uninspired white wine and garlic sauce and my brother's tuna carpaccio also fell short of expectations. The fish looked very mushy. For my entree I had the linguine with a red clam sauce. The linguine was overcooked and far from al dente. The clams were good however, and the sauce was pretty nice, basic and sweet. The portion was a fair size but certainly not overwhelming. Usually I cannot finish an entire pasta dish, but this one I downed no problem. The rest of my fellow diners opted for fish, two had branzino and one had the rainbow trout. The standout among the fish dishes was the rainbow trout served with pne nuts and raisins. I thought it was pretty good. Dessert consisted of a tasty tartufo, Italian rum cake (which lacked rum flavor) and lemon sorbet which came well presented. All tasty, nothing too memorable. I must mention that the tables around us did get some pizza and that did look very good. Upon leaving it did seem that the pizza portion of the restaurant , and the piano bar/lounge were more crowded, so maybe we misfired and should have gotten pizza instead. Anyway, a return to Cafe Centro is doubtful. There are better Italian dining options in the area, with better locales and more attentive service. read more

My BF & I have been wanting to try out this place for awhile - it's close to where we live & we probably drive by it 230948238434 times. The right opportunity came when there was a Groupon special & my BF decided to purchase it. We came on a weekend night around 6/7ish. I saw that the restaurant had two different serving rooms and they served 2 different menus (Cafe Centro / A pizza one) but you could eat at either one with whichever menu. A little confusing BUT one room was more entertainment - it had a bar/piano and the other was more peaceful dining. It was definitely the more lively of the 2 rooms. There is also optional outdoor seating which was beautiful..but since it's Florida & the hot hot summer...I'd rather not sweat through my entire meal. We got sat in the quiet room. Our waiter was lovely - super friendly, on point and made great recommendations. He was attentive too and our food came out in the proper amount of time. We got the Grilled Calamari which was pretty good - a little chewy, but the flavor was nice. Lemony. For our entrees we got Pan Saute Rainbow Trout & Veal Piccata. Super flavorful but I must say when the entrees were served it did not look appealing at all and was rather plain. Kinda like when you go to a lunchroom and you get served tray food. I don't want to sound like a plate/decor snob, but it was not very impressive. BUT the taste made up for it & the flavors were wonderful. I left happy :) I don't know if we just happened to order 3 things that all had a lemon based sauce... but all 3 of our dishes had them. And I love lemon, but I would've loved to had some variety in my dinner. I would probably go back just cause our waiter was so fantastic & I would love to have him serve us again! :) read more

Absolutely horrible service. We went for valentines dinner. It took ten minutes for the hostess to show up and seat us right next to the front door. After a long wait to order we waited over an hour for appetizers to appear. My Mediterranean salad was okay. Nothing special with too much oil and vinegar. My wife's calamari was good. Then another 45 minutes for our entrees, which were fine. Apparently the kitchen was backed up but our waitress just wandered around and never explained the delay. She did tell us that she forgot to bring our appetizers. Finally, it took quite a long time for the waitress to pick up our credit card after we repeatedly requested our bill Maybe it was an off night but an apology or an offer for a free glass of wine would have eased some of the bad impression. But that didn't happen I have no interest in returning. read more

My husband, my daughter, and I ate at Cafe Centro tonight after purchasing a certificate from Groupon a few weeks ago. Upon arrival, we were unsure what to expect based on the location and the crowd. We were amazed at how slow it was for a Saturday night and the crowd was mostly retirees. Since the temperature outside was very comfortable, we opted to dine outside but the interior did have a very cozy feel to it. I had called ahead to make reservations and we were promptly seated. Our waitress came over right away to take our drink orders. While perusing the menu, we were surprised at how pricey the meals were. I mean, $14.00 for rigatoni with sauce? I can make that at home for about $3.00!!! After looking over the menu, we decided on fried calamari with marinara sauce for an appetizer. For our entrees, my daughter and I shared the Ortolani pizza and my husband ordered the flounder special which was in a lemon and white wine sauce and topped with roasted almonds. It came with mashed potatoes and steamed green beans and baby carrots. The fried calamari was delicious, not greasy, and the marinara sauce was tasty. The pizza came with spinach, mushrooms, green peppers, onions, and sliced tomato. It was wonderful and the crust was thin and crispy, just like we like it!!! My husband's fish was disappointing. There were three decent size pieces of fish but the flavor was somewhat lacking. The mashed potatoes had a very strange flavor (not good) and the steamed vegetables were very bland. To boot, when we got the bill we saw that we were charged $25.00 for the fish. Nothing else on their menu is $25.00!!! After dinner, we decided on the Tiramisu for dessert. We got one piece (it was very large) and split it 3 ways. The Tiramisu was, in a word, amazing!! One of the best we've ever had in the States!!! Our waitress told us the chef makes it on site. All in all, we had a nice experience. The service was great, the majority of the food was very good, and dessert was awesome. We will definitely go back!! read more

We opted to eat outside which was pleasant even though there's a busy road nearby. The food was good. Pasta with clams was tasty with many large clams in the shell and a good white cause. The fish of the day was very good. Our Russian waitress was very pleasant and after she steered me towards the limoncello sorbet I liked her a lot. Not cheap but worth it! read more

Service was slow though there was hardly anyone in the restaurant, the food took forever and was just ok, nothing spectacular. Pasta tasted homemade but for the price, I expected larger portions, more flavor and something different. We could have been at any mid priced Italian restaurant. The only standout was the chocolate mouse cake. It was amazing. WIth the service being slow and the prices, it isn't worth it. read more

Great food and service and atmosphere! The tiramisu is the best! Great art for sale too!

Don't bother. The food was just so-so, with the sauces "young." But the service was atrocious. Apparently you are allowed but a single piece of bread. I ordered a veal dish which came with mashed potatoes; I asked if I could have a different starch, such as perhaps a little pasta, and was told I could not substitute. I also asked what the vegetable was and was told broccoli, but the plate arrived with green beans. The least expensive glass of red wine is $9; a mediocre Chianti that sells for $6 a bottle. The portions were tiny. We had a lovely view of a ~50" TV, mounted to an unpainted piece of plywood, displaying, of all things, the security camera views of the restaurant. For a white-tablecloth place that aspires to be upscale, this place has a long way to go. For ~$35 or so a person, they can offer to substitute a little pasta for potatoes (for crying out loud, I had a pizzaiola -- they didn't even need to spring for more sauce), and afford to give you more than one lousy piece of bread. A spectrum of wines from, say, $7 to $12 would be better than the current offerings of either $9 or $10. And the servers ought to know what vegetable is being plated with the entrees. We will not be back. read more

I had been coming Sundays for dinner and jazz entertainment for several years, even though management was never friendly. I was out of town for three months, and on a return with a buddy, we decided to move to a table closer to the music. The proprietor came and threw his hands up in the air, complaining that we should have waited till it was cleared. Several tables were uncleared, and he had stood doing nothing. A couple of weeks later, we arrived, and the co-proprietor asked if we had a reservation, even though numerous tables sat empty; I had never needed a reservation. On Saturday, Jan. 14, I took a date for dinner and a jazz performance, and should have made a reservation. The music had been transferred to another room, where reservations were full. We went to the other room and sat at the bar, deciding to wait till a table in the jazz room was available. But we didn't know if that would happen, so ordered drinks and a pizza, intending to expand our meal if a table opened. The male proprietor came and said a table was available. I said, "Great. We ordered a pizza," assuming it would be sent to our table in the other room. He said, "Oh, it's not possible then," and left. The 9-inch, $17 pizza arrived, and we rejected it.
