Just about ok. Burger very basic. Steak, nothing special. The pizza is not really a pizza. They promote the sourdough base, but there’s no rise to it. It’s pretty dense, tough and tasteless. We wouldn’t return.

My wife and I tried The Local for the first time and WOW — we were blown away. Everything was so fresh, healthy, and unbelievably delicious. You can truly taste the quality in every bite, and knowing they source their ingredients from local farms makes it even better. The food felt clean, thoughtfully made, and nourishing without sacrificing flavor at all. This is exactly the kind of place you want to support. We loved it so much and will 100% be back again (and again). Highly, highly recommend!

Our dinner was delicious and our service was excellent! We were a party of eight and we felt as we were the only guests in the restaurant. The pasta, steak, pizza and bruschetta are all fantastic. We can’t wait to come back again when we are back in town.

Went to get something to eat having eaten there a few years back, and the place is just as good as I remembered.
Got a Cobb salad, bottle of beer, and a meat eaters pizza, and I couldn't finish.
Nice place with indoor and outdoor seating. The food is carefully, and well prepared.
Highly recommended.

Very pricey. Menu is very different. We could not find anything that we would like on the menu. We left without ordering.
