Central Michel Richard
Central Michel Richard Review
French powerhouse chef Michel Richard has set up camp Downtown with this semicasual bistro offering up Franco-American spin-offs like fried chicken, tomato-and-goat cheese torte, and a ginger-flecked Ahi tuna burger. Rows of hams hang in a glass case. Light fixtures are subtly stamped with the word "Central." A jazzy portrait of Richard (think Andy Warhol) stares down from one wall. The mood is playful and low-key; cocktails and champagne flow. And there are even a few carryovers from Richard's more formal Citronelle in Georgetown like "Michel's Chocolate Bar," the chef's sinful house-made riff on a Kit Kat wafer.
