good food – We just had dinner there last night. We ordered the fried green tomatoes, baby back ribs, and the gnocchi. All of the food was good including the herb butter for the bread. A little pricey and the portions were not huge but average. We had no problems with the service. the restaurant looked like a good place for private parties as they had a separate room w/curtains for privacy.
User review by rachel94103 – A friend of mine who had had a few good experiences with this restaurant recommended it to me. While the ambience is pleasant, the service was terrible. The waiter forgot our side dishes and coffee with dessert (but didn't seem to care when we mentioned it to him) and brought entrees out at different times - with as long as 20 minute intervals, leaving the rest of our party with cold dishes. Plus, the restaurant's website makes the restaurant look like the prices are reasonable ($10-15 entrees). ... read more
Great food, spotty, ambivalent service – I have been to Central park three times. The first two visits were wonderful. The third time made me wonder whether I should chance it again. While the food was great each time (wonderful, subtle flavors), the service was ambivalent and unapologetic. Our waiter forgot a few side dishes and when we pointed it out - he just did not care. He also delayed serving the main course to one person in our party (the wait was 20 minutes) without a comment. I don't think I will ever be able to ge... read more
Great Choice in San Mateo – This is our favorite place in San Mateo (and we have tried them all). The food is creative, different and consistently well prepared. The winelist is both reasonably extensive and reasonably priced. We have always had friendly, competent service. The weekend music adds to the evening and does not overwhelm. All in all, a delightul experience and an excellent value.
Best on the Peninsula! – We have had dinners here consistently for the past few months, and I can not say enough about this place. It has become our favorite "dinner and a movie" spot because of its proximity to the new cinemas in San Mateo. What a find! The hummus they serve with their bread is to die for, and they always have terrific changing specials. Last time we were there, they had an amazing side dish of roasted brussels sprouts with pancetta that was sublime. Try the infused vodka cocktails for added YUM. Also, if y... read more
Choose Vivace or Piacere instead! – After having been a frequest diner at both Vivace and Piacere I was disappointed to find a lower standard overall at Central Park Bistro. The food was good but not great. The raviolis and the pizzas are good choices. Come for an afterwork drink and appetizers with friends. There's live jazz on certain nights.
good food marred by POOR service – Central Park is a gorgeous restaurant, complete with velvet curtains separating different rooms. The food is also very good, especially the smoked chicken pasta and toffee bread pudding. However, the service is very poor. My server was not rude...just nonexistent. I was seated promptly by the hostess, also the owner's wife. 20 minutes later, when no one had come by to take my order, she stepped in to do so. The food came in a timely manner, but it also took a long time to clear the plates..... read more
