Central Provisions Tapas Restaurant ·$$$

Central Provisions is the place for gourmands to savor artisan food paired with locally produced beer and craft cocktails. The farm-fresh dishes are infused with nostalgic American flavors and make use of a variety of fruits, vegetables, meats, and herbs. Savor items like cantaloupe and figs served with jalapeño and black olives, lobster toast, and seared sheep's cheese. As soon as you approach this restaurant, you'll be struck by the historic nature of its three-story, red-bricked building complete with roof and chimney. Central Provisions served as the center for the East India Trade Company in the 19th Century, and the restaurant interiors still retain some of this venerable character. Those looking for nightlife will appreciate that the bar is always bustling with trendy patrons on weekends.

We had a few hits and misses with this restaurant, so giving 3 stars. Ambience was small, dark and the tables are really close to each other. Food- the oysters with prosecco and blueberries...
