I visited the Market Street bistro yesterday for its lunch kickoff party and all I can say is Centro, you are my new favorite neighbor. Mired in post-holiday excess I went ascetic with a green salad. It was uber fresh served with waiter-endorsed avocado dressing and choice tomatoes, greens, onions, etc. My husband, the cranky carnivore, ordered the steak sauce burger. Pictured here.



He ate each bite with relish. So fast in fact, I had no time to inquire about its many splendors. I was too busy sneaking fries, or more accurately frites, when he wasn't looking. Shoe-string fried potatoes flecked with salt and pepper (simple, yet elegant) was a brilliant move by chef Michael Oozoonian, whose name I finally figured out how to spell. Four o's for outrageous. 

They make their own pickles here too. And the icing on the cupcake is the price. Most lunch entrees are $8 and under. Add three new craft beer taps, subtract the wall that sanctioned the dining room from the bar and we've got a retooled winner.

Centro, welcome to 2013!
