The restaurant hasa quaint atmosphere, incredible staff and amazing food. We brought the family for a birthday. Everyone devoured their meals. We ordered a rack of lamb. duck,v the steak and coq au vin. We ordered desserts. I wish they had the bread pudding. We chose the crepes, apple tart and rochere chocolates. They gave us ice cream also. Amazing food. Wonderful, accommodating staff. Ellie was perfection.

I recommend Le Central in Bristol, my wife and I thought the food was excellent, from the appetizer, onion soup, the main course ( I had the Coq an Vin my wife had the Cod Chowder ) right thru to the dessert apple tart and bread pudding. Not only that the coffee was great.
Service was very good. Atmosphere was perfect with background music but we could easily hold a conversation.

Birthday dinner for my daughter first time here. All drinks were good. Appetizer greatly enjoyed duck mouse. My grand daughter ate frites. Which were very good. Entries were duck confit, salmon, cod chowder with lobster all guest were happy with there meals atmosphere was relaxing and service attentive. Two of the guest ordered the duck confit. and they give it a 5. Two had the salmon and I feel the taste was a 5 the portion size was a 4 and the last guest gave the cod chowder with lobster which he enjoyed and would give it a 4 due to portion size. We finished the meal with crème
Brulé which deserves a five so my critique about the entire meal tonight at this restaurant is a 5

It’s a very cozy and comfortable French restaurant.
The server was very kind and attentive.
The only reason I took one star from 5 stars even though I liked the atmosphere, service and foods was because of a little bit of less variety of Lunch menu.
I started with French onion soup.
This was so good! Most of times, I couldn’t finish my soup as it was too salty for me.
The french onion soup here was just good enough! Not salty. I finished all.
I wanted try more French like foods like Duck confit but for lunch, they serve salads, soups and sandwiches. ( There were foods which was made with duck liver mousse but it was too adventurous for me but I want to try next time!)
I’m not a big fan of sandwiches so I ordered Moroccan chicken salad which was very healthy and light but good portion for me.
My husband ordered Salmon which served with nicely cooked vegetables and it was delicious.
I liked that they gave us several options the size of drinks. I love to have a little bit of wine with my food but I can’t drink a lot and always left half of glass. But they served 3 oz of wine which was perfect for me.
We had Waffle as a dessert which was delicious too.
I want to come back for dinner to have French entrees next time.

Nice cozy place but has an air of sophistication with its parisean flair n food. Get the bread for two..hot crispy bread with softened farm butter n a multitude of olives. You can have as much bread you want after first order. Bread is about 6 small slices but delicious. Onion soup very sweet, with a strong wine taste, endive n roasted beet salad delicious but could use more beets. Monsier sandwich – good size n delectable, steak frites- salted fries that comes with it are so good as well as the arugula, steak is cooked to its tender state and made in wine- so good. An enjoyable experience..

Little brown feeling, diner like. Burger was cooked medium, flavorful and the fries were crispy. The steak and fries was delicious, simple seasoning with a tasty onion flavor. The onion soup was a nice starter to share.

My wife works here and has a great deal of respect for the owner/chef. We are a military family and have moved around a lot. Hearing the praise of the chef and trying the leftovers that she brings home after the end of her shift–his dishes are incredible.
My wife has been telling me to come in, and we were finally able to do it. I asked her if this is his form of artwork, and she replied, “yes.”
The combination of flavors is perfect. My wife praises this place because everything except the dinner rolls is farm-to-table. He makes everything, even the ice cream desserts. I’ve never seen that and I’ve been all over the world!
This place is well deserving of a 5 star rating, just knowing the quality of product and the care given to his artistic creations. Amazing!!

After walking around we decided on Le Central for late lunch. We were not disappointed. Delicious! The corn chowder was the best we have ever tasted. The lobster sliders perfect. It was a great choice. Thank you for making our visit perfect.

Ate here back in late May with people from high school (now in college) but I forgot to write a review. Burger and fries were tasty. Server was nice.

The restaurant’s air conditioning was uncomfortably cold. We asked the server to lower it — she agreed, but nothing was done and the room stayed icy despite us being the only customers. I felt ill after our visit. The salmon we ordered was also disappointing.
