Dinner was excellent. We had salmon and branzino and they were both delicious! Finished with a brownie sundae which was very good. Carlos seated us and was very attentive and friendly. The bartender took our order and gave us great service too.

We tried the Miso Salmon and Lamb as entrees. The mushroom rice served with the salmon was full of flavor and herbs. Both entrees were excellent along with the calamari we had as an appetizer. We enjoyed sitting inside because it was a bit quieter and away from the crowd outside. An enjoyable evening and we will be back.

I’ve dined at Local many times. While the food remains consistently good it appears that the restaurant is lacking in staff. The staff currently there work very hard however it is obvious they are without a full compliment. This affects the overall experience for patrons.
