Had a relaxing breakfast on their covered and comfortable deck…read more Loved that we could have our puppy on the deck with us! The keto friendly menu was awesome, had the keto omelette and 2 chaffles (cheese and egg waffles) on the side. It was served with half a fresh avocado. Everything tasted very fresh, the server was cheerful and happy to help with our substitutions and changes, no problems! Portion sizes were generous, plenty to eat without being way too much or not nearly enough. All in all a great breakfast, chill and tasty!

Center Street Grill seems to be a beloved stop for locals, and I won't begrudge them that…read more My friend and I stopped by for lunch on a work trip on a rainy Saturday. About half the tables were full. The cashier greeted us cheerfully and offered help from the menu. From start to finish, he has friendly and attentive. The menu is large, and includes everything from reasonably priced (sub $10) sandwiches and wraps, to salads, burgers, fried sides, desserts, and even keto offerings! We ordered a Cobb salad and a Patty Melt and pickle fries. The pickle fries were the most lackluster. Nothing obviously bad that I can point out, they just weren't very good. My salad was very standard. Again, nothing wrong, just nothing I couldn't make at home out of a bag. My friend did really enjoy her patty melt and curly fries. Also, points for having both Pepsi and Coke options in the fountain! Another note, you won't buss your own table. Leave your food there.

Our food was really tasty. We had the ravioli, a burger, and the halibut. All cooked perfectly. We…read morealso had the bread pudding for dessert with a very delicious caramel sauce and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It had a sugary crunch around the edges and was yummy and custardy in the middle. The best part of this place is the patio seating, right next to the creek.

When I saw the "tenderloin" (more like odds and ends steak trimmings) of my Gorgonzola Pasta ($19)…read moreI was vastly underwhelmed, but a well balanced Gorgonzola cream sauce and perfectly cooked penne pasta helped mostly even it out. But my wife's Seared Salmon ($21) was perfectly cooked--still translucent inside--and seemed a far better value of quality for cost than my pasta. My son went for the Red Chimichurri Flank Steak ($28) that was also delicious and prepared really well. But the $4 cup of add-on Lobster Bisque tasted more like assorted shellfish trimmings-- not inedible but not amazing either. The vanilla bean vinaigrette on the Summer Berry Salad ($14) was a pleasant surprise hit with my son's partner, but her $12 add-on of Blackened Salmon for it was unmasterfully overcooked for the thinner portion cut. Overall a poorer value for $26 compared with the Seared Salmon plate (a narrower, thicker portion). Elements is probably a better meal choice for the $30-40/person base range of their menu offerings-- and will obviously push higher with alcohol service. (The $15 Empress gin and Chambord Bartender's Roulette cocktail we ordered was pretty well prepared.) Perhaps even better a destination when the elements of weather suit sitting outside near the river overlook -- would help make up for zero table bread service offered; very odd for a "near fine dining" restaurant and menu. Otherwise on a rainy autumn evening, our tight-quartered, bouncy bistro booth was adequate but not great ambiance. 3.5-4 stars

This appears to be a nice place that I happened to go to for lunch one afternoon with some…read moreco-workers. I tried the cheesesteak with the jalapeño dusted fries. It was good but the meat with a little thick for a cheesesteak. It was still good don't get me wrong. I'd like to say I'm a bit of a connoisseur when it comes to cheesesteaks. This is their version and that's my take. Still good! The service was good. Kudos to the server for not letting my glass of wine water go empty. Anyone who goes out to eat with me knows I get a powerful thirst. I think her name was Dana. She was a great server. The place had just opened when our group arrived so it was quiet.

We walked in at 8:05. They close at 9. Fair enough. If you seat people, the reasonable assumption…read moreis that you intend to feed them. The appetizer came quickly enough. Then we waited. And waited. Our entrees finally showed up sometime after 9:00, at which point I made the apparently daring request for a beer to drink with my steak. Our waitress told me she'd have to check because they were closed now and she wasn't sure they could still pour one. She eventually returned with the beer, along with a small speech about how it was, in fact, after closing time. I didn't care about the beer. Pour it or don't. What I cared about was the strange suggestion that somehow we had overstayed our welcome when the restaurant had seated us at 8:05 and then taken more than an hour to put dinner on the table. There's a simple solution here. If you want the dining room wrapped up by 9:00, stop seating people earlier. Don't invite customers in, take their order, make them wait past closing for their food, and then act surprised that they're still sitting there. It was just deeply, thoroughly underwhelming. Owners, do better. Also, thank you for the uncooked veggies.
