Pretty and pretty good too

by tinydancer22 at Citysearch

I love this place, I love this place I love this place. Food is great, even was served warm on st patties day! My friends and I always share dishes because we just can't pick.

ST PATTY"S DAY: you need to be prepared this place will be PACKED! You can get a drink in a reasonable amount of time, and you won't stand in the bathroom line too long but if you don't get there EARLY you wont sit down. Any other time I can get a table easy (great place for a date first date) but st patties i take the day off of work to make sure I get a table or place at the bar. (a one day spring break)

I have always found the staff awesome, they really move to make the service the best they can with how popular it is.

And the local isn't just a great after-work or night spot, its great for lunch too! I have met my sister there for her lunch break and she always has plenty of time to get back to her office a few blocks away...which is fantasitc!

• Pros: professional servers, decor, yummy food and good price, drinks, entertainment
• Cons: busy, extremly popular equals hard to get seating

Great Service & Food - Fun and Busy Atmosphere

by beckytracy at Citysearch

I was delighted with my dinner at the Local. I've been there for drinks, it's always a busy, fun crowd. Had dinner the other night, the food was just terrific. They have wonderful salads, you can customize them however you like. The Shepard's pie was out of this world. They also have nice wine by the glass and the Irish Coffee is the best I've ever had. I was impressed at how friendly and fast the service was, even though it was busy. It was a fun atmosphere with very friendly and gracious employees, the building is also gorgeous, reminds me of being in Europe. I will definitely go back for lunch or dinner soon.

• Pros: Great Service & Homemade Food
• Cons: Downtown Parking, but they did validate

Unsanitary

by spellweaver at Citysearch

I went to the Local the evening of July 13th, 2008. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwhich with a side salad and I found (I kid you not) a pubic hair in my salad. After realizing what I was holding in my hand I almost lost it and immediately lost my appetite. That really goes to show how unsanitary their kitchen help really must be.

I love the ambience, I like the location, but I will never eat there again.

• Pros: Ambiance
• Cons: Not Sanitary
