    Great menu - something for everyone and we all enjoyed our meals. Save room for dessert and get the bread pudding. ;)

    Great little hidden away spot in NOPA. Fantastic food, you can’t make a bad choice if you tried. The space is rather small so during peak hours it does get a bit noisy, but in general is a great dinner date location.

    Had the $25 3 course dinner. The salad, main course and gelato were all excellent. Best deal in town.

    Bistro Central Parc is a gem! Their $25 prix fixe early dining special is a steal! Even salmon was an option! All the food was great. Dark chocolate gelato to die for. Just be careful where you sit in the wintertime - we got a cold breeze every time the door opened.

    Really great food at reasonable prices. The early special is the best I’ve seen anywhere. Nice selections. Service is friendly and attentive. A neighborhood gem. Parking is a little tough sometimes as it’s in a residential neighborhood, but it’s well worth it.

    Always an excellent value, the early bird dinner delivers both quality and quantity.We started with a crisp calamari from the appetizer menu (not part of the prix fixe menu), followed by a light salad course (the simple Caesar out shown the Mista, which lacked textural variety although the dressing was tasty), followed by an entre ( salmon (a bit overcooked but flavorful) for me, a hugh chicken breast Marsala for my husband) with a starch and green vegetable on the plate. Also included is gelato (vanilla,chocolate or caramel)! Avoid the bitter coffee (decaf)…the noise level became unbearable over the 2 hours we were seated, so come early if you want a quiet meal. Over a few visits, we noticed that the house music varied and drove the mood- we preferred the experience we had the evening they played 50’s Jazz rather than the recent pop angst blaring over the crowd who just spoke louder and louder🤨
