11 Central Street

There are places where you can go to eat and there are places where you can experience food. Eleven Central Street is the latter. The first thing I need to mention is that my girlfriend was impressed by how good it smelled as we walked up the street to the entrance. I had to concur. Firstly, the place is too small. I can see that the day will come soon where getting a table will be difficult. For now, it was a short wait. Not long enough to finish my martini, at the bar, halfway.

We were fortunate enough to be visited at our table by Manager Ann Marie, who suggested the Tarragon Chicken was a new favorite. She also said her favorite pizza was the Hawaiian with Chorizo sausage on top. My friend had the Tarragon Chicken, my girlfriend had the Swordfish steak, and I had a Hawaiian pizza with Chorizo sausage. (I absolutely love Chorizo sausage!!)

The second martini was noticeably better than the first. Perhaps we got a vodka martini the first time around because we did not specify. We specified to the waitress, and it was much better. That’s all we can come up with. Either that or another bartender makes them much better than the first.

The swordfish was delightful. It was peppered to the point of spiciness, but not too much.  The tarragon Chicken was gone so quickly I never even smelled it. My friend inhaled it. The Hawaiian pizza with Chorizo was to die for! I was even brought a small dish of fresh ground parmesan cheese, which I dumped all over the top of the pizza.  I had to share it with my now drooling fellow diners.

Because it has steak, chicken, pasta, pizza, and seafood, I believe anyone will be able to find something they absolutely love on the 11 Central menu.  This is not one of those nice quality places you can go and eat, this is a place where you can go and experience food you love. 

For the discerning diner, the atmosphere is a bit excited, as the place is small, but it is nicely decorated and the service extremely competent. I cannot imagine anyone having a bad time there.
