    A slightly elevated dive bar in a decidedly not elevated part of town, I feel that Bread & Olive has remained under the radar. The cocktail list is huge, with most in the $12 range. These are strong cocktails. Like I came home legit fade to black after two. If you drive home from Bread & Olive, the county jail is conveniently a block away. The food is better than it should be as well. The charcuterie board is a steal at $22. Filled with various cheeses, meats, nuts and jams, the only downfall was limited bread options (isn't Bread in your title?). I love baguettes, but it's too heavy to be the only show in town. Maybe crackers would be a good fit? It's been a locals-only crowd during my couple of visits and is a great respite from summer tourist season.

    The Bourbon Pistachio cake.

    We had a late-evening lite meal of the tomato and burrata, followed by a slice of bourbon pistachio cake. The former was excellent, very fresh, and the latter was terrific as well. The service was outstanding, the bartender/server friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was pleasant, if a bit non-descript. Good music from the 1920-1960s.

    Dinner at Central Provisions was such a standout experience. The small plates format made it fun to…read moretry a variety of dishes, and everything felt thoughtful and well-executed. The flavors were creative without being overcomplicated, and each dish had something that made it memorable. The atmosphere struck a perfect balance--lively but still intimate enough to enjoy conversation. Service was attentive and knowledgeable, with great recommendations that really elevated the meal. Definitely one of those places you leave already thinking about what you'll order next time.

    We were happy with the service and speed at which the small plates were delivered to us however…read morethere was a small instance where we got a dish we didn't order (not pictured and it was the special). The lemon sole (fish) and octopus carpaccio (not pictured) were filled with flavor! The pork belly was very underwhelming and I would not order again. The waiter said 2-4 plates per person. I recommend starting on the lower end and adding additional dishes based on how you're feeling. The amount of food was very different from dish to dish. For example the tuna dip had way too much bread and the pork belly was very small in size. Overall I was half impressed. I wish the staff would take a moment to announce the plate as it's placed next to you or point it out on the menu for those hard of hearing and wanting to know what they are about to enjoy. However the music, overall restaurant vibe and half the dishes exploding with flavor made my experience pleasant and I will return again knowing a bit more of what to expect and looking at photos of the menu/meal options beforehand.

It really feels like you're in a dungeon or dark castle inside and there's surprisingly a lot of seating (indoors and outdoors). We were able to snag a booth indoors. There's candles everywhere which really add to the ambiance. The servers were attentive and fast and it was nice that they came to the tables to take our drink orders. We just got espresso martinis, which were pretty good. I'd definitely come here again to try the other drinks and enjoy the vibe!

    Came here for after dinner drinks with some friends. We sat outside in the back area and it got…read morepretty crowded. The person helping us seemed to be very overwhelmed with all the people that were in the back area. I and another friend got mocktails and our other friends got real drinks. The inside of this bar is cool but kinda scary feeling. Feels like you are in a basement or a dungeon. It's dimly lit in the inside area. And has candles in the middle of the place with wax dripping down. The bathroom is kinda spooky too. And the sink you have to use a pedal and I could not figure out for the life of me how to get colder water to wash my hands. The water was super hot. I may want to come back here and try an actual drink and maybe experience the inside atmosphere. This bar is below and the restaurant called Roma Cafe.
