- FFlorianoVIPGreater Boston •24 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoFood was good. Service was a bit slow , waitress were courteous , unfortunately the restaurant was too cold, everyone was eating with their winter jackets on. Not sure if that had issues with heating system. Hopefully they will fix it.More infoPisco & Tequila Peruvian and Mexican restaurantPrice: Moderate• Peruvian• Bristol•4.7
- DDanVIPGreater Boston •16 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoA lovely gem of a bistro, quiet for a near weekend evening. We both had a French onion soup that had rich flavor, great umami and was perfect for a cold night. My lamb chops were tender with a nice char to offset the sweetness of the meat, the cassoulet that accompanied was the right accompaniment instead of a starch, and my wife enjoyed her duck confit. A nice Chablis and two very good desserts finished the experience. Our server was attentive and not at all stuffy and we felt welcomed. Will go back a lot.More infoLe CentralPrice: Expensive• Contemporary French• Bristol•4.8
