We met here for a work function, and came in as a group. The food here is “okay,” and the prices caught me by surprise. Portions were rather small, and food was overall salty. The main salad (pear and Brie I believe) was basically served on an appetizer-sized slate/plate. The side salad was incredibly tiny. I did enjoy the vegan chia seed pudding, I would definitely recommend.

Overpriced!
Food is OK, tastes OK but the portions are small and Overpriced.
The waitress mentioned one price for one of the specials but they charged more.
We paid $30 for a super small Salmon with 7 pieces of potatoes (less than a quarter size).
Definitely not even close to be sufficient for an adult or even a kid.
Service was OK and the presentation is nice.

Excellent local sourced restaurant with fresh ideas and clean food.
A must try if you are looking for a different experience.
Most items are either house made, local, farm to table, organic.
I have eaten here several times and have never been disappointed.
Service is great and the price is fair.
Kid and everything friendly.

If you’re thinking about going… stop and choose this restaurant! I have been to a lot of places all over but, this is my very favorite by far!!! The food is so fresh, natural, such unique ideas, family friendly, many choices… just to name a few. It’s a small local business and it buys from all local farmers! The staff is so friendly! Don’t skip the dessert! They are all spectacular! Pies, ricotta beignets, homemade ice cream… it’s all so wonderful! Support local while having the best meal of your life! You won’t be disappointed

Incredible food! They have the BEST bruschetta I have ever had! I can't stop craving it now. They also had a great selection of vegan options so I will be back for more so that I can try them all. I highly recommend The Local. This restaurant will definitely be a place I bring my friends/family whenever they come to visit.

Incredible meal start to finish. Fresh tomato Bruscetta style appetizer with house made almond cheese light and refreshing. U 10 Scallop special with Manchego fried polenta house spiced bacon shaved Brussels extremely well balanced flavor profile that enhanced the natural sweetness of the scallops. Thank you for the passion. You bring to your craft Chef. Service was just as exceptional as the meal. Very knowledgeable able to make informed recommendations. Will be back next time in town.
