Vibe: Outdated and underwhelming

Entering the Centinela Cafe is like stepping into a time machine, but not in a good way. The worn-out, old decor makes the dining experience feel underwhelming. Further disappointment awaits if you're looking to enjoy a nice wine with your meal. They don't have a wine list.

  • Drinks

    No wine list or hostess; expectations for drinks not met.

Perks: Convoluted parking, concerning service

Adding to the frustration of your visit to the Centinela Cafe, finding parking can be a daunting task. The tiny, always full lot is not visitor-friendly. Once inside, brace yourself for waiting and potentially rude staff encounters, significantly souring an already mediocre experience.

  • Bad Service

    Long waits and rude, unfriendly staff considerably dampened the dining experience.
