"We made reservation thru Open Table. We requested a seat next to the indoor fireplace as we have dined here before. We arrived at the scheduled time, and it was obvious that we weren't going to be seated where we requested. Instead, we were seated OUTSIDE, this restaurant is on the water, and it was a chilly evening that required at minimum a light jacket. (Another table with children had the kids wearing knit hats) after the appetizers, I used the men's room and realized the indoor dining room had completely cleared out. So, I requested that we be moved indoors (as did the family with the children) to eat our entrees. It was a disappointing/irritating beginning to the evening, but the staff was very accommodating, and the food was great."

Have had good food in the past. Today must have been an “off” day. Love the casual environment and enjoyed the upstairs bar afterwards. View menu

meghan and harry were great! They are personal, funny, attentive and laugh about my husbands bad sweat. this is my place for visitors from the city. it is on the water with a beautiful prospect, good food, great salads when they are gluten-free, and reasonable prices! we love it every year. parking is also not annoying! bristol has everything about newport!

"Bottom line: a delightful French bistro with absolutely delicious food, a casual, cozy vibe, and an excellent value. Something different in the East Bay. An underappreciated gem. We 've been going to Le Central for a few years and recently rediscovered just how good it is. The vibe is French bistro, complete with black and white checkerboard floors. It 's casual, relaxed, and cozy. It feels like French comfort food. The menu is thoughtful and amazing for how truly delicious the offerings are. It 's a 'who 's who ' of some of the best French dishes, without pretense or weirdness no snails or frogs legs . Starting with the table bread, half of a baguette, perfectly toasted and partly sliced, with soft butter and some olives on the side. The onion soup is full of melted Guryere cheese, caramelized onions, rich beef stock, and toasted baguette slices, served in a ramekin. It 's perfect and utterly irresistible. Pair it with a salad and it 's a meal. The Salad Nicoise has perfectly cooked green beans, roasted fingerling potatoes with butter and parsley, roasted red peppers, a bed of arugula, a nice filet of perfectly poached salmon, and a mouth-watering lemon-caper compote. It 's hearty enough as a main course for lunch or dinner, and is deliciously satisfying and I 'm not usually a salad person . The hamburger might be one of the best you 'll have. A hand formed patty of organic beef on a toasted Brioche bun, served simply with tomato and lettuce, cheese cheddar, Guryere, or Roquefort and applewood smoked bacon optional, and a side of ultra-thin and super-crisp potato frites too good to be called mere 'French fries ' . We love burgers, and both think this is hands-down the best we 've had in the area it 's the spiritual opposite of Chomp burgers which are excellent in their own right but very different with many heavy, spicy additives that make for a 'wet ' burger . Le Central 's hamburger stands on its own simply with the highest quality ingredients prepared perfectly like the rest of the food . Coq au Vin chicken with wine was a revelation. A half of a Cornish game hen breast, leg, and thigh , braised in burgundy wine, served in a crock brimming with mushrooms, sauteed onions, and bacon, in a rich, thick, velvety stock, and a side of roasted fingerling potatoes. Just the smell made my mouth water before even taking the first bite! It was heavenly, deeply satisfying, and very hearty and filling. There are always some specials, often including an omelet. Recently we 've had asparagus and brie, and mushroom and Guryere, variations. They were spectacular, served with a side of potato frites. They turn brunch into a special experience and feel decadent despite the modest price. They offer a full brunch menu that looks yummy, though we haven 't yet! tried it. Desserts are homemade. Our favorite are the Rochers rocks , chocolates like turtles. Dark chocolate filled with the specialty of the day, various nuts and fruits. Order at least one if you 're stuffed and don 't think you can fit in anything else, but a plate of 4 goes down easily with tea. The drink list is massive. In the spirit of a French bar there are dozens and dozens of liquors of every kind. A nice offering of about 20 wines French of course , every one we 've ever had has been a winner. Some beers, and even several ciders, apple and pear varieties, from Normandy! This area has tons of typical bars/pubs/taverns, seemingly one on every block, along with Portuguese Portuguese-ish and Italian restaurants. Le Central stands out, both for being unique in offering a great selection of the best of the best of French foods, and for the amazingly high quality and reasonable prices. It 's one of the great, underappreciated secret gems of the East Bay area. If it was in Boston the prices would be more than twice as high and people would be raving about it. We 've been finding it hard to go more than a week between visits."
