    Incredible food, service, did I mention the food? We had the early bird dinner and couldn’t resist the appetizers, so 2 apps in…with the salad, dinner & dessert. We had food leftover because the portions were so much. Great value. I highly recommend.

    A neighborhood gem. Lots of yummy selections in appetizers, entrees and salads. Quiet and comfortable for hanging out and having conversations with your dining buddies. I don’t know if it’s a family operation, but it has that nice feel to it where the staff are really caring and friendly. And extra bonus: the early bird special is a total bargain.

    The Mista and Caesar Salads were fresh and tasty. The black pepper fettuccine and the chicken marsala were delicious and good portioned. Dinner ended with vanilla bean and dark chocolate gelatos. Well presented and delicious. Service was attentive and gracious. Would definitely recommend and come back again and again.

    Food was perfectly cooked & delicious. Food comes out immediately from kitchen to table which is the way I like, hot. Clean dining room, comfortable seats, layout is great so you can see everyone at the table. Atmosphere is a bit noisy when dining room is full, so can't have conversations with everyone at the table. Wait staff is super friendly and very attentive. They like kids and interact with them and keep them happy. Also, they have a wonderful early bird special menu (salad, entree, dessert) that helps keep us within budget for our family gatherings. Bistro Central Parc is a hidden gem my family & I stumbled across and will come back frequently. ❤️ Some of our favorites were: calamari, chicken marsala, and sea bass.

    It was so delicious, flavorful, delicate. My husband and I are vegetarians and we had choices which is wonderful for us. We have been there now 4 or 5 times and bring new people with us each time that want to come back. The staff and owners are exceptional. Thank you. Thank you, Thank you. We will see you again soon. Stay safe and keep doing what you are doing🥰💖❣️
