- AAudreySan Francisco Bay Area •17 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoLoved it! Service was very attentive and they had wonderful suggestions from their menu. The steak tartare was delicious served on homemade potato chips. The deviled eggs were a wonderful surprise served upside down with a sauce and caviar on top. The Caesar salad was amazing…I shared this but won’t next time I return…it was delicious with the crunchy topping. We shared the roast chicken, which was so tender and had the most delicious pan gravy. And don’t leave without trying the Soft Serve dessert. It checks all the boxes…caramel, toasted hazelnuts, poached pears and ice cream.More infoBon DelirePrice: Expensive• French• Financial District / Embarcadero•4.7

- JJulieSan Francisco Bay Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoThis was my first visit to Le Central and I'm now a big fan! The food was delicious, the wait staff and others were friendly and helpful, and it wasn't annoyingly loud. This is what fine dining was meant to be, at least in my opinion. I look forward to going back so I can try their other options!More infoLe CentralPrice: Expensive• French• Downtown / Union Square•4.7
