Céntrico Atypical Steakhouse — Restaurant in Bella Vista

I couldn't wait for the food to arrive because the place looks great and the service was top notch 👌🏻

The tuna tartar to start things off was very good 👍🏻👍🏻

We then ordered a medium Porterhouse w/ Yuca al moho + Mushroom 🍄 risotto

The Porterhouse 🥩 arrived sizzling but immediately I noticed it was very thin which caused a bit of concern. The rest looked great.

Upon trying out a piece of the porterhouse I noticed it was not medium, it was actually 3/4 or more like a close to well done. Taste wise it was also lacking, not sure if this was really Black Angus certified beef. The fat part tasted a bit funky too, so I decided to cut it off.

The Yuca al moho was alright, not super delicious as recommended.

The Mushroom 🍄 risotto was really good though and it was the most recommended plate by the server. He also mentioned the Filete Chivita which I feel like I should have gone with.

We ordered some dates and after waiting 45 min i went inside to ask what if the food was still coming and if it was possible to order a drink. All the bartenders and waiters were just chatting at the bar inside and the restaurant was almost empty.

He told me yes yes it is coming. And again we had tot wait 15 min. When i got angry and asked for the bill the waiter suddenly brought the dates to the table.

We got into an argument because we even had to ask multiple times for the bill.

Such a pity because the food was good but we would never...

Rufino the host was excellent and very nice. Wilson was my server and even though he didn't speak much English we made it work. Loved the vibe and atmosphere. Great music playing which was mostly remixed 80's which is my jam! A bit cooler sitting on the inside but I didn't mind. I had the Poison Flowers drink and the pork belly ceviche which is delicious, but beware the sauce is very very spicy. I had to have a couple shots of milk! My entree was the salmon which was full of flavor and filling. I'm so glad I chose this restaurant as my final dinner before I flew back home and I only knew about it because my tour bus...
