"I made a reservation for an early dinner this evening to celebrate my daughter's 20th birthday. She had never been to Cafe Central, but she had heard me talk about it several times. We were seated promptly and served our water and tea. We decided on two appetizers: the Grilled Portobello Mushroom and the Grilled Fried Calamari. Both were excellent and the spicy sauce on the calamari was great. For dinner, my daughter ordered the Maple Leaf Duck Breast and I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass. The presentation was spot-on gorgeous on both entrees. The duck was cooked to an absolutely perfect medium rare and the fish was easily among the best I've ever had. We each sampled the other's entree and agreed that both were absolutely delicious. After dinner, the server brought out a wonderful Tres Leches Cake with a Birthday sparkler atop a specially decorated plate. He graciously offered to take a couple of Birthday photos, which I will treasure. The food, service, and ambience all made for a wonderful birthday celebration."

"Saturday, 01OCT2021, was the (Indian) festival of the Chariot, a downtown display of the Hare Krishna sect of Indian Hinduism. Recently, I spent several months exploring that amazing country and was ready to once again enjoy the incredible tastes/sights/sounds/spirits. I’ll admit, the Northern Chihuahua Desert is a pretty far cry from the Subcontinent, but there was good effort…! Instead of enjoying the advertised free meal, my wife I sought Indian food at a bona fide Indian restaurant on the West side. The marquee is a bit faded, but the even street number [4410 N. Mesa] places it on the Northside of Mesa and close (half-mile/km) West of the junction with Executive Center. This standalone building has a surprisingly large customer capacity/seating/tables on the perimeter of the centralized cooking area. Despite this cursed COVID19/delta variant still ravaging/hospitalizing/killing primarily unvaccinated persons, the Governor proclaimed no more required masking up, but this fine eatery/staff were still observing the common sense practices of masks/social distancing (as much as possible)/hand washing in addition to receiving inoculations. I had called ahead with my order; usually no less than a ~40 minute window is required for the fresh/delicious preparation, and I waited about 40 minutes inside, turning our phone order into a take out meal. It was a bit congested inside this clean establishment; we stayed masked/socially distanced, using the sanitary bathrooms (soap/running water available, but no paper towels for drying hands) and remained cautious. The food is fresh delicious, the staff friendly/helpful/perhaps a bit overwhelmed as there is a near-continuous flow of transactions, both in-person/on-line/pickup/take away. I certainly give this excellent eatery my coveted “¡Wheel of Approval!”"

"Think of this like the cafe restaurant cum bar in a trendy art gallery or niche musuem. Supposedly Stanton House, in which Taft Diaz sits, is a boutique hotel but actually its not especially good at being a hotel. Mostly its an art installation inside an architectural experiment. Which is fun, if not super practical. Food is good, although coming in overpriced very bijou portions. Barman is cheerful and keen. Service: Dine in"
