   Since Le Central was rebooted several years ago by staff it's had a bit of a revival. I'm not a fan of the cassoulet, but that aside all the other choices I've had have been very good. What I really like is that it's not a casual restaurant, yet it feels very unpretentious. A lot of that comes from the friendly but direct no-nonsense service. The service is great, but it's not obsequious, and I like that.

   I wanted to eat duck but the restaurant didn’t have a complete meal of duck. My server Lindsay tried very hard to find a dish with some duck. She recommended a salad with duck confit. It was delicious

   As it says, a classic French bistro. A mix up with the wine list that is changing, but still many moderately priced French bottles.

   The petite tartine of smoked salmon with capers was a good start. The bread was decent but had higher expectations given it was a French restaurant. Desserts again okay but higher expectations. Got seated immediately which was a plus. Attentive but not overly consuming waiter which was nice. The fish was overly sauced and heavily lemony. Escargot again decent but given the French classification had higher expectations. Salad with goat cheese was again decent but higher expectations. Overall if I wanted the ambience of a French location on a rainy day I might try it for brunch but it would not be a top go to.

   Welcoming spot, convenient and great food that is subtle and lighter French. Very enjoyable meal and experience.

   It was San Francisco Restaurant Weed and Le Central had an excellent special menu. I selected the sole for my main course and it was excellent. The restaurant can always be counted on for good French food.
