Central bistro Review

Linda is a true Gem and I ll come back just for her and the service she provided. Very tentative and on top of all questions. I had the chicken tacos and pina colada in the pineapple. So bomb! But also bring your own bottle. I will be back!

Have been meaning to try this place forever and finally got a chance to order take-out on a Friday night. The menu was diverse and we ordered the nachos, the Oaxaca Torta (loved!) and the carbonera. Everything was very tasty and reasonably priced. The portions were quite large and easily worth what we paid. While it was only a pick up, the staff was prompt and courteous upon arrival. I would like to visit here once restaurants are allowed to open again, and since it is BYOB the cost of the meal stays relatively inexpensive. I recommend you give this place a try, especially if you are in the area!

DEFINITELY ONE OF THE BEST RESTAURANTS IN JERSEY CITY HEIGHT, THE DELICIOUS FOOD, THE VERY RESPECTFUL AND CORDIAL TREATMENT, I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT IF I COULD GIVE IT 10 STARS ....

SO IMPRESSED. My boyfriend and I came on a Monday night for dinner, never been before but judging by the awesome reviews we were excited. Our server was amazing, kind and knowledgeable. The food was AMAZING. AND PRICES TOO! Same vibe as The Franklin on Franklin Ave but better! Portions were large and everything was so fresh. We will be back for sure. We got: Pirogies, truffle fries, linguine with clam sauce and the chicken parm. *chefs kiss*

Excellent Food and Service!Fillet Mignon was Outstanding!

Great addition to the neighborhood. Food choices are great as are prices. I love that they are BYOB. Owner is very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be back.

Kitchen a little heavy
But nice welcome

Food Was Delicious! Very Good The Wings Are Very Good With Just The Right Spice. Had Classic Eggs Benedict. Very Flavorful.

French Dip was very good, plenty of beef, gravy a bit thick for a dip. Tried wings first without sauce, needed seasoning& was dry, really needed the sauce for any flavor. Would try again & try something different next time.

Another recommendation for Central Bistro at 403 Central Ave, 07307
Went here for Valentine's Day yesterday evening (my first time here) and everything was just right. Warm and cozy inside (still awed by the transformation from the previous food place there), the severs were kind and helpful with explaining the menu since they were using a special menu, all the food was loaded with flavor , the entrees were a very decent portion we didn't leave hungry (a 12oz. filet mignon is impressive at least to me) , plus was the dessert was a sweet treat for everything. Will be back, close to home

Wagu Burger was amazing service excellent best BYOB place in Jersey City by far excellent!!! The chocolate bread pudding dessert off the chain!

Probably the best meal you re gonna get in the area

Awesome food, exceptional service and will definitely return.

Love the food - absolutely delicious. Service could definitely improve, I often find the place will be empty and I have to get the waiter's attention. But I love the food so much I'm still giving 5 stars.

Love this place!
The Food is Fresh and the Service was above average!
A++++++

Good food. Slow arrival of food but kind service nonetheless.

Great additional cafe to Central. The atmosphere is very hip with yoga house music, clean table spacing, and a dark decor. Very classy. Plus with the large window you can see all the knuckleheads walking past instead of coming into this cafe.

I ordered the avocado "toast" (really English muffins) and this is the best I've seen around. Poached eggs were a little over cooked but not enough to make me not like them. I like mine on the oozing side though. They also put pickled onions which really adds some good flavor. Home fries are good size pieces and nice and crunchy. The bacon is good too.

They don't have a big variety of coffees. The menu is full and I'm planning on coming back to try more things.

This place was awesome food was great and service was also. First time going and will definitely go again and I totally recommend.

I've been here a handful of times and really love this place. It's BYOB and the food is fantastic. I hope they're doing well through everything, because they need to stick around. I order the chicken parm almost every time I go.

Very good food and service is very welcoming. Appetizers look very pleasing, even though the portions are just a little to small, and a little expensive

Not quite 5 stars but the food was exceptional.
I ordered mussels...good size portion, little too much butter and the fresh garlic was slightly burnt but it was still pretty good.
The ambiance is favourable to couples or mid size group and newly renovated in December.
This is a family restaurant serving up great food with friendly people.

Service is great, food is delicious, and the place is cute. What s not to love :)

Food was really good!! I had brunch. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly and of course was delicious. My girlfriend had breakfast burrito, the rice and beans were so full of flavor. Will definitely come back.

Food was good, polite service. Some music or decor to improve the atmosphere would do well especially with the vibe of Jersey City.

Food is very good. Prices very reasonable too. Visit this friendly restaurant if you're near Jersey City!

It is a very nice place, the staff is very kind and fast, the menu looks interesting, i would love to go again soon, this time i went with my friend and i order a hot chocolate and it disappointed me because it was instant chocolate, i mean it a very nice place everything looks nice an neat so i don't know why they serve that kind of chocolate, anyways i think you guys can make a better job

Great brunch, good variety on the lunch and brunch menu. Delicious omelette and the filet eggs benedict was fantastic!

Big lamb burger fan here and I was impressed with what I had to go. Delish and cooked perfectly.

Cute ambiance and friendly wait staff! I went for a lunch by myself and the waitress was very friendly and accommodating. I ordered the muscles and they were delicious! The meal was a great value at $16 with tax and tip! I ll be going again!

Have eaten here numerous times and have done take out. They now take credit and debit cards so cash only is not an issue. Their mussels are delicious, perfect size, portion and clean. Had the red sauce which was perfect as well. Being a pescatarian, I greatly enjoyed the grain bowl with shrimp. Absolutely delicious. Fried calamari was crispy and cooked perfectly. Our guests who are chicken wing lovers loved the ones we ordered here. The service is great too! This is our new go to place on Central Avenue! It s a byo and they have all the mixes needed for your cocktail. Definitely worth a try.

Very nice experience, great service and amazing food!! Make sure to BYOB - no fees associated with this (great perk!)

Loved it. The meatballs were amazing. The staff are super friendly, and food was cooked perfectly. Next time in trying the truffle fries.

Great chic parmesan. Truffle fries. New place with enthusiastic server.

I visit this lovely place from time to time! This is my favorite restaurant to have a bite. I visit this spot at least once a month. The cooking is of high quality, the crew is polite and the payment is decent. I enjoy going in this place to have a rich supper.

The crab cakes were amazing!!! Pure crab goodness and no fillers.

Amazing food and the best staff in the city! I highly recommend this place. Love it!

Food was great, service well, place was friendly. They have specials on every night and I had a fine lobster pappardelle which I enjoyed thoroughly. Thank you for being so hospitable.

Great food. Servers could have been more attentive.

Great little place! I've been here a few times and the food is consistently good, with an approchable range of options. I recommend the fries, which are hand cut and seasoned with rosemary

Great service everyone working here is super nice and awesome
Absolutely great place
They have Always Delicious food and they have a big variety of food love eating here .

Just had a very nice Friday night dinner here. Prices were extremely reasonable, service was excellent, the place was spotless and food was very tasty. We shared the fried shrimp in hot sauce app, which was like a shrimp "parm" without the cheese, and the tomato sauce really did have a nice kick. It also came with a piping hot loaf of fresh crispy bread. I had the burrata salad as my dinner and my hubby had the French dip sandwich, ordered and served medium rare. Espresso at the end was so so but all around no complaints and will definitely be back again!

My boyfriend took me there for Valentine's day and we really liked the food, so we went as soon as they opened back up. Our waitress was also super friendly.

Absolutely love this restaurant. To be honest, and can't quite pinpoint what, there was something about the outside that stopped us checking this place out for a long time. Maybe the neon signs. Not quite sure but I'm ashamed to have ignored it for so long based on that. Hopefully we've made up for my ignorance as this restaurant is fantastic and we eat here at least once a week (we walk all the way up from Journal Square to The Heights). The prices are incredible considering the quality and presentation of the food. The filet mignon, lamb burger and the buratta salad being my personal favorite dishes. The staff are awesome.

Central Bistro has some delicious bites, quick service and is moderately priced ($15-25 per person). This Bistro is located on the corner of Thorne Street and Central Avenue, a bit obscure in the dark colors of its facade and for some reason we have never stop by. As soon as you enter, the magic of its name begins. Smells and looks very clean/tidy. They have a brunch/lunch menu, dinner menu and kids menu. Prices are moderate but they are very flexible in providing you with any changes due to allergy. Friendly staff and fast service. My mother ordered the Eggs Benedict and I ordered a Western Omelette (made my way) and its the first time I ever had a juicy omelette. IT WAS DELICIOUS. Well worth the price. Thank you for having us and for making my Sunrise Island Tea (Black Tea steeped for 3 minutes placed into ice and topped off with orange juice). Hope to see more seats and tables and to see you prosper in the Jersey City Heights~.

Very nice vibe, staff very nice as well. Great menu, enjoyed our dinner.

Very good food. Fresh squeezed OJ. Will return. Welcome to the neighborhood.

The appetizers were amazing so I can just imagine what the entree will taste like however that would be our next trip back

New restaurant and brunch spot in the heights. Downtown JC looks great now but love the heights for a low-key "no fuss"/no crowds kind of evening. I'm a picky native "New Yorker" born and raised Italian principessa so my opinion holds weight in this department : ) No one makes the classics like mia nonna, BUT Central Bistro definitely puts l'amore into the food and gives generous portions for apps and entrees. Waiting staff was super friendly. We had the Chicken Parm & Chicken Marsala (pictured). Oh did I mention it's BYOB and there's a late night liquor store across the street? Buon Appetit! Hit this place up : )
