This jovial social centre is a unique and modern gathering place where Michel, a James Beard award-winning chef, serves American favorites with a French twist all day and all night.

With its prime location, full bar, specialty cocktail menu and outdoor patio terrace just adjacent to the lobby in Caesars Palace, it’s no wonder why inventors have dubbed the 9,600 square-foot contemporary restaurant an innovation of the warm and familiar.  Central seats 300 for casual dining in a stylish atmosphere.

The menu features many Central signature items such as Richard's celebrated burger, 72-hour short ribs, fried chicken, and delectable desserts such as Michel’s famous Napoleon and chocolate bar.  The Caesars Palace location also offers many new selections and maintains the Richard style of light and fresh with witty presentation.

Central – pronounced sen-TRAL – opened in Washington D.C. in January 2007, and takes its name from its central downtown location in the nation's capital, between the White House and The Capitol building.  With Central, Richard crafted a restaurant consistent with his famous style that marries whimsy and mouth-watering food. It's a jovial style that Richard perfected at his landmark Georgetown restaurant, Michel Richard Citronelle, and his former Los Angeles restaurant, Citrus.
