Step into the warmly decorated dining room at Central and you know you're in for a treat. American classics like French fries and fried chicken are bumped up a notch with French flair, plus there are plenty of vegetarian options. And no one should miss the "kit kat bar" dessert, which is a homemade, bigger version of its namesake. Central is billed as fine dining at a reasonable price, though the prices are at the very high end of what many would consider "reasonable."
