Had not been there for a long time but passed by and saw the sign new ownership and gave it a try. Expanded menu with plenty of great choices. Food was spot on. Service and staff were not good. The bartender and servers acted like they really didn't want to be there. No enthusiasm, no happy faces, long wait times, none checked in during lunch and the restaurant was virtually empty. We felt like we're an imposition.

It's under new management, but not sure it's much better. Service was very, very spotty. I think she was new. But lag times were long. Waited about 20 minutes to be told the Porter I wanted was not available (but it ended up on the bill)The shrimp spaghetti squash was mushy and salty. I sent it back. The Manager did come out to apologize. Brussels sprout were tasty but maybe a little overdressed. Hubby's fish and chips were edible but looked a little sparse on the large black plates. I'd increase the price and fill the plate with more fries and another piece of fish. My beans and cornbread appetizer was pretty tasty but cornbread was more like cake. Had a big drizzle of molasses, maybe?

It's been 10 years since we last visited this restaurant, but sign said new owners..........so we tried it and we will be back. Hopefully next time I can give 5 stars.Handsome husband had BBQ sandwich, NOT soaked in sauce which is a good thing! Fries were crispy and fresh.I had shrimp protein bowl. Shrimp were blackened perfectly and tender, not chewy or tough. Quinoa was a copious serving, but squash was cubed, mushy and tasteless...???frozen. Fresh roasted would have been ideal. Walnuts were nice crunch. Kale only made a nominal showing....so disappointed....BUT had so much to take home, we had breakfast. Heated up, added fresh garden hot peppers with some Havarti cheese, eggs over easy and it made a tasty brunch for us today on Sunday. Thank-you

Out story: We were looking for a quick Sunday-after-church. We are foodies and steer away from chains for this meal. We didn't want the usual places we go. We decided to stop in at the Local. Luckily, they just restarted Sunday service.Their story: They just restarted Sunday service and have a very limited menu and staff. Our server told us that if there was something we wanted from the standard menu, she would see what they could do (time, ingredients, etc. - being a cook myself, I know sauces, etc. could be impossible...). They are in the process of addressing customer feedback (complaints) with concerns about noise level, etc. Since Sundays are slow, they had unfinished decorations and rolls of paper. They left us to eat and socialize and didn't work on these tasks in the front. The experience: we were the only people in, so service and sound level (a common complaint) were perfect. They have a wonderful drink and cocktail menu that is innovative. The mock tails are just as creative and enticing. The sandwiches and salads are the Local menu standards. No surprises for customers, so comfort for returnees looking for their favorites. The loaded tots have all the best on one tray. A real winner. The Ham and bean soup was good as well as the house salad. My husband was a little disappointed with the size of the patty in his lamb burger. The Bottom Line: we will return on Sunday. The food is good and not the usual Sunday brunch eggs and.pancakes (although they have beignets so you can go sweet if you wish and still enjoy something new). What I like about the Local is the opportunity to enjoy something different, and hopefully they can create that slice of special on the menu for Sunday.

Tried to go here on a Saturday night at 8 pm. Stood and waited several minutes for anyone to seat us. Waitresses in main room seemed very interested in talking and never looked to front. After waiting several minutes we walked out. Waitress from bar said thanked us for coming in. Waitress on patio just wanted to shut that area down. New ownership, good luck. We won't be back, poor service when there is so many other options is a killer for your business.

Under new management and they've done everything right! The new management has fixed the noise/ambience issues and have improved on the menu. Everything we've had recently has been so good! Try the meatballballs (fantastic) and chicken gyro (one of my go-to's). So glad we gave this restaurant another chance and will be back!

Been fans of this place but was let down tonight. Plain Jane 6.5/10 they took off my favorite burger with tomato jam so I had to switch it up. Basic burger, nothing special. Great tater tots. Tenderloin 7.5/10 best thing tonight! We got two, one was more grisly than the other but overall pretty good. BBQ Wings 6/10 really did not like these. Lacked sauce, had to ask for extra but still didn't help. Small pieces with minimal meat.

They claim to be under new management or ownership via the sign out front and I want to like this place more, but I have generally found it to come up short in value due to high prices for what you get. To their credit, our server Amanda was awesome at tending to my colleagues and me. Another positive item was that I did very much enjoy the taste of my porter that was on tap. The issues were that $9 for the beer and $15 for my falafel wrap and fries (that was semi-lacking in falafel) seemed a tad high. I am willing to occasionally give them a try in hopes their food matches their prices, primarily because of their convenient location.

This is where we put in our offer to buy our house in Lochaven two years ago so we have fond memories. But we also like their food and drinks. They have good bourbons and their mixed drinks are great. And they have a nice mock tail selection. My favorite is the meatball - I always order a second one to bring home. Great little Caesar salad and bread. The lemon caper garlic shrimp on spaghetti squash is the next favorite. I also love the roasted beet salad. My husband gets the sandwiches. And if you have room, the beignets are a real treat! There is a secluded section for families with kids apart from the adult section that includes the bar. Wait staff are all efficient and friendly. And you can eat outside in the summer. You can't go wrong at the Local!
