Vibe: Stressful atmosphere prevails

The vibe at El Centenario Grill Y Seafood leaves a lot to be desired. Customers complained about needing an interior update, a bad smell, and less than pleasing window shades. The loud music and karaoke has often hindered a conducive dining environment, marking highly against the restaurant's date night potential. To add insult to injury, customers also found the drinks to be lackluster, further degrading the dining experience.

  • Bad To Entertain

    Loud music and karaoke can be disruptive and annoying for some guests.

Perks: Mediocre service, loud place

On the perk front, the noise from karaoke and music proved disruptive, making conversations with the staff difficult. The restaurant, however, does offer ample space for groups and the service swings between great and slow, varying customer to customer. Even these slight positive aspects are not strong enough to redeem the overall experience.

  • Okay Service

    Mostly great service but some experiences with slow service noted.

  • Hard To Hear

    Karaoke and loud music made conversation with staff difficult.
