I love Central Bistro.

The menu is eclectic and so much to choose from.
Last night I was in the mood for a burger so I ordered a burger to go and it was honestly the best burger Ive had in years. Cooked perfectly and fresh.
Also got a chocolate pie dessert which was super yummy.

The guy at the counter was really helpful and friendly.

Ive only eaten thete once and the atmosphere is warm and homey.

Lovely spot located near public transport (perfect if you're looking to eat breakfast before heading to Manhattan). Great variety and kind service. We were a group of 6 people ages 8-72, and all enjoyed their courses. I only wish we had room for desserts :-)

I can't say enough about how amazing this place is. Perfect for a date night, the decor and setup is very chill and the space is used wisely. Highly recommend the fried calamari. Nice selection of appetizers, entrees and can't wait to try the ice box cake. Come enjoy the vibes and whatever ur palette craves and check out the specials. Outdoor seating available.
