   The Rack of Lamb was cooked perfectly but when are 2 double chops considererd a rack especially for $44. The Cod Chowder was good but said it have lobster in it - did not see or taste it.

   Thank you for the feedback. We portion out our lamb to be roughly 10oz (~half of a full rack); listing it as "Rack of Lamb" on the menu is meant solely to indicate the cut--not that it will be the entire rack--and I apologise if this was misunderstood. As for the price, the cost of lamb has yet to stabilise post-pandemic, but we'll always choose to serve product of a quality we're proud of rather than resort to lower quality options in order to keep prices down. Regarding the cod, there is an option (on its own line of the menu description and in a different font) to "Add Butter-Poached Half Sakonnet Lobster | +22", but it does not come with lobster by default. I wish we had been made aware that you didn't receive what you expected, as it would have been an easy adjustment. Best, Sam (GM)

   Le Central is one of the more sophisticated restaurants in Bristol, RI. The atmosphere is quiet, and the serving staff is well-trained (something we really appreciate when we encounter it!). They have a solid wine list and extensive bar offerings. Don't count on sitting at the bar; there are very few seats, perhaps to discourage a bar-hangout atmosphere. The tables are attractive, with drinks and desserts menus under the glass. The food we've tried has been very good--in particular, the brunch dishes. If you go for brunch, be sure to get an order of cinnamon popovers to share!

   I always take my out of Rhode Island guests to this special spot! They always impress!! If I can’t get to France, this is the best there is in RI. I’ve been enjoying this venue for many years. I’m a fan!!

   Le Central never disappoints. We went for brunch, to celebrate the mutual birthday of my husband's cousin and me. The service was very good and the food was delicious. We were able to sit and relax, not feeling crowded or rushed. We shared the cinnamon popovers to start with--excellent! Between us, we had an asparagus brie omelet, lemon ricotta crêpes, and croque monsieur. All were quite tasty. The croque monsieur disappointed a bit because it was not French-toasted (with egg), something my partner explicitly asked about. The waiter must not have understood a true croque monsieur because she answered incorrectly. It was still good, just not as good as he'd hoped. This is one of the best restaurants in downtown Bristol and a great choice for Sunday brunch. I recommend making a reservation.
