Central Market is one of my wife's and I favorite places, we've had dinner there several times over the years and it's always been consistently good. Ate there last night with another couple and while the food was good can't say that it was up to their usual standard. The oysters had bits of shell from being opened but seriously fresh and briny, just the way I like them. My wife had the halibut and liked the fish but the veg was overcooked and pretty bland, not a composed dish. My friend and I both had the steak which was good, properly cooked medium rare but a bit stingy on the french fries. We all had desert, my wife had the chocolate tart which she thought needed some fruit to round it out. My friend and I both had the apple and quince pie, great crust but otherwise not memorable. My friends wife had the chocolate sorbet, super chocolatey. Service was exceptional. We'll be back, sorry they had an off night.

The renovated space is very attractive, the food was delicious (a range of appetizers and a mushroom pizza), cocktails and wine were spot on. Service was attentive but not excessively so. Lovely meal.

We have been to Gibson’s for the Piano Bar and experience twice now. The first time it was just my husband and me on our anniversary. It was so fun, so we brought back a group of 10 a month later. The food, drinks, service and especially the piano entertainment did not disappoint! The whole place was up and out of their seats singing and dancing by the end of night….to piano music, what?!! It’s hard to describe the amazing atmosphere other than to say it’s impossible not to have a great time. We will be back with more friends!

Fantastic atmosphere that manages to be both kid-friendly and great for adults night out. Drinks were interesting and well balanced, but the food is the star of the show. Delicious local ingredients with excellent execution. Still dreaming about the roasted broccoli salad.
