Central Provisions

http://www.central-provisions.com
Central Provisions was our last stop of the day and a good way to end it. Now there's an upstairs, accessible from Fore Street. This is more of the restaurant with a long sleek bar and tables. And, a downstairs accessible from Wharf Street. The downstairs is more of a bar. We chose the bar...
The downstairs bar smelled new. Like the polyurethane was still wet. Of course the bar wasn't wet but the business has been opened for just a month so it did, literally, smell new.
The staff were warm and friendly. You could tell they like working there because they kept everything spotless. We had already eaten so we just had the bar nuts and an order of croquettes. Honestly, we love the tapas-style menus. They have several tempting menu items like Smoked Carrots. I keep thinking about what they will be like. I must go back... And the Brussels Sprouts with horseradish, pine nuts and pecorino. Good selection of draft beer and wine selection. Cider is also available on tap. In summary, great location, menu and staff. Sounds like a home run.
