Le Central is a French bistro, focusing on modern interpretations of classic dishes featuring local products from Sakonnet Lobsters, Four Town Farm (Seekonk, MA), Walker's Farm (Barrington, RI), Scott the Bassman, and Little Rhody Eggs (Foster, RI). Low lighting, checkerboard floor tiling, glass tabletops, and French nu-Jazz provide an intimate yet warm and familiar atmosphere. Chef-owner Jesse James spent his early career in Boston, working with chefs Moncef Meddeb at L'Espalier and Jasper White at Jasper's, with further experience at other landmark restaurants in New York, France, and Italy. Le Central is the third restaurant he has designed, built, and operated, after Aperto (Est 1992) and Boca Rotis (Est 1997), both in San Francisco. The large painting by Inez Storer on the south wall of the restaurant (which also serves as our logo) is of Jesse's son, Sam (the current General Manager & Beverage Director), and his childhood dog, Skye.

    The Chanler fine dining experience continues with Remys Loose. Utilizing what will be Cara’s pretty indoor space, the new addition to the Chanler will be on the terrace come summer. The fare is beautifully sourced for the meat and seafood dishes. It reaches that sweet spot between “elevated” and approachable with a creative menu for everyone’s taste. Although it is very sophisticated, it was also warm and welcoming. As for desserts which are often an afterthought, they are sublime. Chef Jacob and his team are making magic with in their gorgeous open kitchen. Remys Loose is so worth the experience. We plan on making it part of our repertoire.
