    Always superb! We enjoyed another fine dinner last night at central Park bistro. Warmly welcomed by the owner manager gorgio and escorted to a wonderful table. First courses included an esculent octopus salad and a beet salad. Main entrees included pasta by cauliflower with a special suggestion of shaved asparagus, seared scallops and slow cooked short rib pasta. All were expertly prepared. We ended with a complimentary bread pudding dessert. All in all a great meal.

    Dining at St. Michael’s Alley is always a good choice and last night’s dinner did not disappoint. Matthew was our server and he provided a perfect balance between competent service and unobtrusiveness. The food was delicious, as always (we had the duck, lamb and Branzino).
