• Contemporary French • Bristol
Booked 6 times today
Le Central is a French bistro, focusing on modern interpretations of classic dishes featuring local products from Sakonnet Lobsters, Four Town Farm (Seekonk, MA), Walker's Farm (Barrington, RI), Scott the Bassman, and Little Rhody Eggs (Foster, RI). Low lighting, checkerboard floor tiling, glass tabletops, and French nu-Jazz provide an intimate yet warm and familiar atmosphere. Chef-owner Jesse James spent his early career in Boston, working with chefs Moncef Meddeb at L'Espalier and Jasper White at Jasper's, with further experience at other landmark restaurants in New York, France, and Italy. Le Central is the third restaurant he has designed, built, and operated, after Aperto (Est 1992) and Boca Rotis (Est 1997), both in San Francisco. The large painting by Inez Storer on the south wall of the restaurant (which also serves as our logo) is of Jesse's son, Sam (the current General Manager & Beverage Director), and his childhood dog, Skye. Inez wouldn't say who the guy in the chair is.

    This is one of the local places we like to go. Food is always good. Our waitstaff was pleasant. Tonight, it took a long time for our meals to be delivered to the table. Also, the scallops seemed a bit pricey for what we got. I do understand prices have gone up on food everywhere. We will be back, as we generally are very happy here.

    Each and every time we have gone to The Coast Guard House we have had an Incredible meal. Consistently excellent. My wife had a special that included shrimp, lobster and scallops in a pasta with an assortment of flavors while I had the Lobster Mac & Cheese. The Mac & Cheese was loaded with lobster and totally filled me up. My wife also had plenty of the shrimp, scallops and lobster in her dish. We went to celebrate my wife's birthday and boy did we pick a beautiful night to go as the weather was around 60 and the sky was clear while the 3/4 moon was visible in the east sky. Daylight saving proved to be to our advantage as we had a spectacular ocean to view while the sun was lowering in the west leaving a great sunset show. We had the blood orange and cranberry sorbet for dessert which was a perfect ending to our meal. Our server Katie was very personable and attentive. This is by far RI BEST dining experience.
