    Local has become one of our favorite restaurants in the area! The chef is amazing at the food she produces. We love everything about this place. While it does not have a full bar (no hard liquor but wine and sake are prevalent), it makes up for it in what is available to drink and the pairings with food. Can’t wait to go back there!
