The Centro

"Solid food and good central location downtown Cleveland in The 9 hotel. Good option for shows at Playhouse, around the corner. The prices are tough to swallow (figuratively). Pasta dishes are all $35, steaks are $60, and specialties are $40-50. On the other end, they have reasonably priced pizzas at $15, however there are better pizza options throughout downtown. I understand that you are paying for atmosphere and this is an upscale hotel, but there’s not much in the middle price point range to make this a regular meal downtown, unless you are there for a special occasion. Entrees were above average, though a little salty. Recommend the meatball and crispy polenta cubes."

"We had a reservation for brunch before a Browns game. The food & drinks were amazing. Started with loaded truffle fries & also had the Centro Omelet as well as the ploenta cakes with poached egg & spinach. Espresso martini with amaretto was a unique twist. Service was perfect & ambiance was relaxed and inviting. Definitely recommend!!"

"My husband and I were looking for something easy for brunch. Luckily, Centro, located in our hotel, was right downstairs. While the atmosphere is a bit fancy, we felt comfortable and not underdressed. The menu is small, containing basic breakfast dishes, and some brunch options. Our drinks were not very strong or flavorful. That disappointment dissipated when we were delivered our delicious Brunch Charcuterie board. For $25, you and a friend can chow down on delicious pastries, sausages, and pastries. One of my favorite menu ideas and I wish more restaurants would follow suit."

"Went for brunch with our family of four. Everything was lousy. The chai tea I had ordered was delicious in flavor but wasn’t hot and the cup barely had any in it. We did not receive any refills of our drinks nor were we asked if we wanted them. The $25 brunch charcuterie board was an absolute joke. The “pastries” were these thawed out puffs filled with chocolate. They did not have too much flavor except for the fact that they kind of tasted the way the inside of a refrigerator smells. The bacon was not cooked the greatest. The waffles that came on the charcuterie board were dense and very sweet. The two eggs breakfasts did not come with any butter, jam, jelly or anything to put on the toast. The Margherita pizza was not good either unless you tried and liked those kid cuisine microwaveable pizza from the 90s. If you liked those, this would be a go to dish for you! It had pools of tomato water on top of it. For over a $100 meal, I am incredibly disappointed."

"My husband planned a staycation for us at the 9 and we had dinner at the on-site restaurant. Our server was very attentive. The food was EXCELLENT!!! The restaurant was beautiful. The table scape was so pretty! I loved everything about our visit!! Can’t wait to dine again!!"
