"Delicious small plates! We had the Seared Foie, the Bone Marrow Toast, the Pheasant Duo, and the Wild Boar Paté en Croute. All were outstanding. Sat at the bar downstairs and the bartender was attentive and professional. It was a very fine meal!"

"Central Provisions delivers an unparalleled culinary experience. The option to sit downstairs for drinks while enjoying the full menu adds a unique touch. The incredible food, passionate chefs, and attentive staff create a memorable atmosphere. Dining in front of the chefs provides a captivating view of their culinary artistry. The polenta is a flavor masterpiece, keeping you intrigued until the last bite. The bread + butter and popover are phenomenal additions. Central Provisions is a haven for food enthusiasts, offering a perfect blend of exceptional cuisine, excellent service, and a captivating ambiance. Highly recommended for a truly unforgettable dining adventure."

"Objectively good food but a little too salt & carb forward for me - tapas-style with a menu of small portions but each are on the heavier side so 4 was enough for the two of us for brunch. Favorite was the Spanish chopped salad and the special goat curry was fantastic. Personally found the cornbread a tad salty (but delightfully moist) and the bone marrow toast on the greasier side. Still a really enjoyable meal with high quality ingredients! We walked in at ~11:30am on a Sunday and grabbed one of the last open bar seats in the basement."

"A must stop in Portland. Everything we ate and drank was so flavorful and delicious. Our waiter Jonathan was welcoming and brought such a fun light to our dining experience. The prices are on the higher end but I recommend if it aligns with your budget. It was a highlight in Portland."

"Definitely a very unique menu of items you won’t find at most restaurants. The food is served up in relatively small portions, so be sure to order more items than you normally might and try to share so you get to taste as many items as possible. The staff was very helpful in offering tips on what to order and making suggestions. The prices were a bit steep for the small portions, but still not outrageously expensive. Definitely worth a try if you find yourself in the area and want to try a unique menu selection."
