Centre Street Bistro

Centre Street Bistro Review

Tiny—there are 20 seats indoors, and as many out—and perfect, this gem of a bistro is the kind of find that devoted locals wish they could keep to themselves. Chef-owner Tim Pitts's cuisine has proved so reliably winning that popular demand keeps the menu fairly stable: certain signature dishes, such as the warm goat cheese tart and the Black Angus tenderloin with white-truffle oil and polenta crostini are almost always on offer, and prove ample enough to quell the heartiest of appetites. Ruth Pitts's desserts are equally lavish (try the warm chocolate marquise wrapped in phyllo), and the prices are modest for these parts.
