    Perfect location and superb service for a ~100 person party, all during this 2nd wave of the pandemic. Katie, Chris, Jonathan & Juan made our evening so enjoyable, easy and safe--the food was great, bar well-stocked. Plenty of room to sit down or mingle. Yes, Google Maps lists as closed but they are open for special events. Highly recommend! (Oh, and great price-point!)

    Great service, food. Willing to work with picky kid eaters to make it special. Made my son's day with his cheese quesadilla. Thanks.

    Worked as a bartender a few weeks ago got demoted after day 2 because they’re training was poor and did not give me the help I needed, and when I was the bar back, they didn’t even teach me how to do that and I was not treated like a human being, and none of the managers greeted me saying hello like they used to basically, if you’re not a bartender or above, you are not treated like a human being they never texted me the scheduling or anything I’m the one who kept having to go to them for information and I decided to stop wasting my time and effort and never came back and I’m glad I did. They were also picking favorites as the one bartender, his brother, who was the server, who never had any experience bartending was making the same mistakes as I did. They were treating him with more respect than me, and I walked away and never came back. All of Boston in that matter is just awful they don't call them Mass holes for nothing.

    We hosted a private elopement dinner at Central Warf. While the food was excellent, the staff friendly, and the ambiance modern and sophisticated - there is really only one reason you should choose Central Warf for any event you might be planning, and that is the event coordinator Sevana. While we put her through hell with a million questions and what ifs, she was expertly helpful in making our day special. She took so much off our plates in terms of set up and coordination, that we really could focus on the day itself. I don't think I ever caught her without a smile on her face and she was arguably as genuinely excited for our marriage as the friends and family who were attending. If you're the manager or GM of Glynn Hospitality and are reading this note, I would encourage you to do whatever it takes to keep her around. She is one of a kind and by far the best part of our experience with Central!!!

    Food, atmosphere and Mark, our friendly waiter from Ireland, were all excellent! Fish sandwich was excellent!

    Let me preface by saying my fiancé and I are both industry workers in Boston, have been for years. I gave 2 stars instead of 1 because my drink was tasty. We went here with a group of 9 because their sister restaurant didn’t have any space available (which we found out after they told us we could sit down so we had to get back up to go to the other restaurant. The manager also asked us if we were Shirley the actual reservation- obviously not…). Once seated the manager told us that the menu was two sided and condescendingly said that if we can’t find the drinks or food we’re on the wrong side. We then waited 30 minutes for anyone to acknowledge us and it ended up being a support staff who took our order- it’s a good thing because we were about to leave. Then while waiting 20 more minutes for our drinks and fries we had 4 different people ask us if we were ready to order and they just kept bringing us water. The guy who was supposed to be our server walked past our table 4 times before stopping to ask us if we wanted to order. When we finally got our drinks they forgot our shots and we had already gotten our food. One of the other managers even said to us that they were short staffed so they apologize for the service… you should never admit that. Truly some of the worst service I have ever had. To top it off they didn’t discount or comp a single item on our bill which to me tells me their management has no idea what they are doing or what hospitality is. One could have assumed this by the utter lack of communication since we got asked by 4 different people if we were ready to order. This place is not the vibe, also the fries were trash.

    I hosted our company's holiday party here, and it was very successful! The staff were great the night of, and their event manager was incredible at accommodating our needs and dietary restrictions. Food (especially the penne a la vodka) was delicious, it was the perfect venue for our group!

    The area is well maintained & easily accessible lots to see and do in the vicinity. Hotels ,pubs ,restaurants and lots of marine services to boot with an amazing Aquarium close by !

  • 5/5 Jacob F. 6 years ago on Google
    Great food and incredible service. Has three seating areas and three bars over two floors. It's kept clean and the staff work hard to maintain a quality experience. I've been here over four dozen times over the past four years and I have never been disappointed. The attached photo is an alternative setup for the upstairs seating area, modified for an event.

  • 3/5 Lorna Carroll C. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice but not worth the money my opinion $ 30+ for adults

  • 4/5 Cait S. 4 years ago on Google
    Cool atmosphere, interesting cocktails and lots of seating. Had the pickle back burger. Really good, cooked as I ordered it. My only complaint was uneven seasoning on the meat, some bites were overly salty and others bland. Overall would definitely come back.

    Not bad. My husband loved the lobster roll. I had a New York strip with salad and fries. They put all this on one plate so my salad was warm.
