Needham, MA Real Estate - The Center Cafe

Needham Restaurant - The Center Cafe

Today the Needham Real Estate brokers had the pleasure of dining at The Center Cafe.  Our Manager Bill Dermody of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage sponsored the lunch after our Broker Caravan.  It was a great luncheon and they could not have been more cordial to us all.  The wait staff served us so nicely.  The meal was just great and included a basalmic dressed salad, salmon, great chicken with a compote of something wonderful that had cranberries in it, and lasagne.

The meal was complete with coffee and that was really great. I am really fussy about my coffee and I loved the coffee.  The dessert was to die for and included delicous brownies and little lemons creams in a light almost filo crust in bite size pieces.

There was a drawing for a gift certificate and I wish I had won but I am sure that they will have many reservations after our delightful experience there today.

It is located in the center of town behind the Citizensbank on Chapel Street.  If you are in Needham it is an easy walk to it.  Open for dinner at 5.

I don't anyone was disappointed.

Afterall. Needham is know for it's fine restaurants.  Lucky us!

Bon appetite  They have a gluten free menu too!
