Concentrics Restaurant has opened its newest concept, Central, in the heart of downtown Montgomery, Ala. Located in the city’s entertainment district, the restaurant is a true American restaurant highlighting local and seasonal ingredients.
Central is a collaboration between Montgomery developer Jerry Kyser, owner, and Bob Amick of Atlanta’s Concentrics Restaurants.
Chef Michael Bertozzi, most recently of TWO urban licks in Atlanta, has created a menu offering wood fired comforting classics featuring fresh seafood, local meats and greens. Signature entrees include meatloaf, sauteed Gulf Red Snapper, prime rib and more.
Central is located in one of Montgomery’s most historic buildings, a mid-1890s warehouse on Coosa Street. The building’s structural integrity has been maintained and features exposed brick, large gas wall sconces, a heart of pine tongue-and-groove floor, and an open kitchen.
Central has three unique private dining spaces for small to large events — The River Room, adjacent to the main dining room; The Cellar, located beneath the main dining room; and 129 Coosa Street, located above Central. A 600 square-foot balcony overlooks the bustling alley outside the restaurant.
