   This is the first time my wife and I visited Le Cantral. I found out about this place from an article in the SF Chronicle a few weeks ago, it sounded like just the place we like for French cuisine. Overall the restaurant had a wonderful ambience. The manu perhaps could be a little more extensive but perhaps they change the menu every so often. My wife had the escargot and their signature cassoulet."Most excellent" I had the onion soup which was outstanding and the bouef bourguignon which is my favourite french dish so I have high stanbndards where this is concerned. The beef was very tender and lean which is what I wanted but there wasn't enough sauce so it was a bit dry. Nevertheless overall we had a fantastic experience celebrating my wife's birthday, we would definitely go back.

   The beef Bourgueneon could’ve use more sauce or gravy. Next time I order the same dish, I’ll ask for Additional sauce.

   This 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!

   Le Central is a neighborhood gem with an authentic French vibe and well executed basic French dishes. Reasonable wine list with reasonable prices. A great lunch spot and we're going to visit it for dinner.

   Le Central is an institution and is consistently very good. I had the onion soup and the Salade Lyonaise, both delicious. The waiter was professional and did an excellent job. I've been eating at Le Central for years and look forward to many more meals there in the future.

   Delicious food prepared in the standard/classic French style. Wines by the glass are very expensive given the size of the pour. Overall, highly recommend for a classic dining experience which is getting harder and harder to find.

   Great food and service. Reminded us of being in Paris. It was loud because there was a table of 14 guests celebrating the Holidays

    Lunch yesterday was delicious and fun. Definitely an older local crowd- us included . My two friends and I had sole meunière and a glass of champagne. The service was excellent. Noise became deafening as the restaurant filled up, but festive! The bread served ( I think an 8$ charge) but horrible. Get another bakery to supply it- we have so many wonderful bakeries.
