" What a wonderful experience! We were seated promptly, and our server was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. The empanadas were an excellent start, filled to the brim with flavorful chicken. For the main course, I tried the L.O.C. 1/2 burger; it was juicy and cooked to perfection. The ambiance was nice, with soft music and a cozy feel. I can't wait to come back and explore more of the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had my first meal at Left of Center. It was a pleasant surprise! The staff was friendly, and the food was seasoned perfectly. The Cubano was definitely a highlight, packed with authentic flavor. However, the space felt small, especially when the restaurant was busy, which did affect the overall experience slightly. I can't wait to go back and explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I was a bit disappointed during my last visit. The nachos I ordered were good, but they lacked the freshness I've come to expect. The service was quick, but I noticed that the server seemed a bit rushed, which might be why I felt neglected at times. The seating area was quite cramped, making it hard to enjoy the meal comfortably. I would still recommend it, but just know it might get busy and noisy. " (*Curated Review*)

" First off, I adore the decor of this restaurant! It's quaint and charming, and it set a lovely mood for our dinner. I had the ribeye reprerentative of their diverse menu, and it was cooked perfectly. The service was acceptable, but my order took a while to come out. Luckily, my friends' meals arrived sooner, and we shared their nachos, which were also quite good. Overall, I really enjoyed my visit and can't wait to do it again. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was decent, I had a few hiccups during my visit. My order took longer than expected, and my server seemed overwhelmed. However, when the food arrived, the shrimp tacos were delicious. I personally feel the restaurant would benefit from a more diverse menu as well. If you're looking for decent food and a casual vibe, give it a shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Left of Center is one of my favorite spots in town. The nachos and tacos are made to perfection! I also tried their cheesecakes, and they are heavenly. The restaurant can be busy, which sometimes affects service speed, but the food is definitely worth the wait. Great ambiance for a casual hangout with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoyed my meal! The shrimp tacos were perfect; I was blown away by how fresh and flavorful they were. The service was friendly, and my server made great recommendations. The only downside was the limited seating, which makes it feel a bit crowded during peak times. However, it’s worth the wait for such delightful food! " (*Curated Review*)
