Secret at Center Gastropub & Cocktail Bar

Went with a party of 8. We are an older group. Lets start with the food. 4 got burgers and fries. 1 a chicken sandwich and 1 had chicken fingers and 2 salads. We also had drinks. Food and drinks were good except for chicken fingers which were very dried out. The issue was our server. I think his name might have been Josh. He had dark hair. Anyway he was terribly slow. After waiting over an hour for our food and watching tables that came before us getting served we asked him where are food was. He said it was coming but we still waited at least another 15 min. Then we had to wait for the mayonnaise and ranch dressing that was ordered with our food so we could eat it. I decided to order dessert we had the beignets. This also took quite a long time. When I tasted the first one it was oily an

The Secret should NOT be a secret!!! Food menu looked so good I didn’t know what to pick. We’ll definitely be back so I can try something different next time (even though the undercover shroom sandwich was amazing). Shelly was our server and was wonderful and even remembered it was my birthday and Tammy came over with a birthday cannoli. We will absolutely be back 🥰

We came here with my husband we wanted something different,new and support local business. We walked in and hostess told us that there is a wait unless we want to sit at the bar, we chose the bar. We walked in and there was a ton of empty tables for 2 people. I ordered chicken sandwich and my husband ordered the burger. Also we asked to substitute regular fries for truffle fries. Food came- his burger was supposed to be medium rare - well it was dry as a shoe and not seasoned very bland and not good. Nothing on a bun which makes the whole thing even drier. My chicken- breast just grilled with some balsamic on top and 2 tiny slices of mushrooms 🤯. Again dry bun which i had to put away and just eat chicken breast and choke on it that's how dry it was. Fries- tasted nothing like truffle wit

We really wanted to try this place. 1st impressions are weird. We only knew where to enter having been to the old German restaurant here. Long hallway, lots of doors, odd hostess stand. Once inside its very well done, nice big bar but its tight seating. Our server was very nice. Our food came out timely, luke warm at best. The burger wasn't grilled, probably steamed. Pork and steak dinners cooked well, but served barely warm. Both didn't have much flavor. The loaded baked potato, came out not cooked enough with nothing on top. I asked for the toppings, and the butter was cold, with a cold potato. For the money, Longhorn or Square 22 in Strongsville is a better choice.

This place is amazing. A true cocktail bar with great food and phenomenal live entertainment. This place has only been open for 4 months but I can see this turning into a major hotspot in the Brunswick Ohio area. I was there last night and he had a performer who looked and sang like Frank Sinatra. He had an amazing voice and is there the last Friday of every month. I can't wait to go back.
