Central Bistro

New restaurant and brunch spot in the heights. Downtown JC looks great now but love the heights for a low-key "no fuss"/no crowds kind of evening. I'm a picky native "New Yorker" born and raised Italian principessa so my opinion holds weight in this department : ) No one makes the classics like mia nonna, BUT Central Bistro definitely puts l'amore into the food and gives generous portions for apps and entrees. Waiting staff was super friendly. We had the Chicken Parm & Chicken Marsala (pictured). Oh did I mention it's BYOB and there's a late night liquor store across the street? Buon Appetit! Hit this place up : )

Have eaten here numerous times and have done take out. They now take credit and debit cards so cash only is not an issue. Their mussels are delicious, perfect size, portion and clean. Had the red sauce which was perfect as well. Being a pescatarian, I greatly enjoyed the grain bowl with shrimp. Absolutely delicious. Fried calamari was crispy and cooked perfectly. Our guests who are chicken wing lovers loved the ones we ordered here. The service is great too! This is our new go to place on Central Avenue! It’s a byo and they have all the mixes needed for your cocktail. Definitely worth a try.

Great additional cafe to Central. The atmosphere is very hip with yoga house music, clean table spacing, and a dark decor. Very classy. Plus with the large window you can see all the knuckleheads walking past instead of coming into this cafe.

I ordered the avocado "toast" (really English muffins) and this is the best I've seen around. Poached eggs were a little over cooked but not enough to make me not like them. I like mine on the oozing side though. They also put pickled onions which really adds some good flavor. Home fries are good size pieces and nice and crunchy. The bacon is good too.

They don't have a big variety of coffees. The menu is full and I'm planning on coming back to try more things.

Cute ambiance and friendly wait staff! I went for a lunch by myself and the waitress was very friendly and accommodating. I ordered the muscles and they were delicious! The meal was a great value at $16 with tax and tip! I’ll be going again!

Muy buen ambiente y sus delicias devén probar Todo es fresco
