Just the best and most consistent place in York for a bite or drink.
This was a fantastic surprise. I happened to be in the area, and found this restaurant on Yelp. Glad I did!My dinner guest and I loved the place before we were seated. Great decor, terrific lighting, and the kind of casual and relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to stay a while. Our server, Niki, was super-friendly and helpful throughout our meal.We ordered several sides and split a burger. First out were the meatballs. Three giant meatballs covered in delicious sauce, cheese, and pesto. Tender, savory, perfect. Next up was whipped feta with honey and dates. Pita triangles were used to scoop up the feta, and the combination was amazing. Like savory Greek yogurt, but better! The fried Louisiana fried shrimp were fantastic, served with a mango chili dip. The truffle fries were hot and crispy, perfectly seasoned (generously) with intense truffle flavor, and served with a fabulous garlic aioli.We chose to split the pastrami burger, which was incredible - familiar flavors all pulled together into one delicious burger.I have a feeling this is a gem for locals around York. If I lived here, this would be a regular go-to place for me. When the check came, I thought they made a mistake; for the quantity and quality of the food, this was an absolute bargain.Truly one of the best meals I've had in a long time, and you can't beat the ambiance and service!If you're near York, Maine, do yourself a favor and stop in. You won't be disappointed!
Meh. Told it would be a 45 minute wait and it was an hour and twenty plus change. The bartender was mugging me, despite the approximately $80 bar tab exclusive of gratuity while we waited to be seated. Maybe I had something on my face.To give credit where credit is due: the Haddock chowder and short-rib beef Wellington were dope. I ordered the scallop and haddock bake which came in a tin foil to-go tray like you might receive your airline meal in. My parents opened their mouths about the presentation, and it wasn't received well by our server. We still had a great night together at the place, but a little less 'tude would have stretched the experience to the 4 to 5 star rating. Give it a shot, nonetheless. Maybe they'll like you a little more than they liked me.

This place is seriously the best! Everything on the menu is amazing and service is also great. I can’t even pick a favorite because everything is so delicious (including the craft cocktails). Highly recommend the Central and the Bar Next Door!!
