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.

What a nice festive evening with friends. Service was attentive, professional and friendly. The meal was served at a good pace. No rushing. Parmigiana, carbonna and Sunday gravy all were delicious and all had leftovers to bring home. The ambience was very festive and made for a nice before the holiday dinner. So glad I was able to get a reservation. It was worth the hour drive for such a nice evening.

A 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.
