The aromas of simmering sauces, fresh baking, and hints of something indescribably delicious draw you into the Bistro. Everything is cooked to order, and whether it be Chef Tim Pitts or Chef Ruth Pitts in the kitchen, every course of the meal served will be a visual and a gastronomic delight. We arrived at Centre Street Bistro shortly after the doors reopened for dinner at 6 p.m. and were immediately seated at a comfy table. Our waitress gave us a warm smile and proceeded to make us feel welcome. With her broad knowledge of the menu, she was able to completely answer all our questions.
Every dish is carefully prepared, beautifully presented, and absolutely sensational.
Soups at Centre Street Bistro are always a good choice. They are sometimes served hot, sometimes cold, and are always hearty and flavorful. We sampled a rich and aromatic Tomato Mushroom Barley Soup that was thick with shiitake mushrooms, barley, herbs, and fresh tomato and liberally dusted with fresh parmesan cheese. Chunks of the warm, fresh crusty bread baked each day by Chef Ruth Pitts is perfect with the soup. A savory example of Chef Ruth Pitts' baking skills is the Warm Goat Cheese Tart.
