Boy, am I disappointed with the new, revamped Commons: Centro. Yes, the decor is way better than it was before. It does look cleaner and more modern. I like the new seating area, but wish someone would clean it regularly (students need to wipe their table quickly with a napkin after they eat!). What's really disappointing is the food. It is the same food that made Commons notorious. "Centre Stage" serves the same old unhealthy hamburgers, chicken fingers, and fries. "Wok Our Way" displays the standard greasy, fried "Chinese" cuisine - fried-till-they're-hard brown rice, sticky chicken and beef entrees, deep fried chicken balls and vegetables. There are also personal pizzas available like before and a new section called "Need a Sub" which I prefer the most, as you get to pick your ingredients and the sub tastes fresh and is non-greasy. Service is in strong need of improvement what with the long, slower-than-a-snail-moving lines.
Overall, pretty disappointing, as Centro is all glitz and glamour but no substance. I was hoping there would be more healthy fare available, especially at "Wok Our Way" (fresh seafood, boiled rice, fresh steaming veggies, anyone?) or Centre Stage (veggie wraps, grilled meats, etc.)
Sigh... I guess well-priced, healthy entrees on campus are something I can only dream about.

Not only is it the same crappy food as we had in commons last year, it's the same crappy food w/ higher prices...

Sigh, having the dam name change as well just makes life that much harder when your trying to tell people to meet you at commons - i mean "centro" /facepalm

Yea, the decor is a little overkill. They could've used the money for something more useful like the residences.

Good to know I don't need to make my way over to check out nuCommons.

I thought it was pretty nice, though I'm a first year. The noodles section (not the wok) was good, seemed healthy enough.
