| - I feel like Local has gone downhill. I'd always recommend it to people saying it had really good food, with a caveat of slow service.
The service is still incredibly slow. The food, however, hasn't remained really good.
The last time I went with a friend for brunch. It took 20+ minutes to order and another 20+ minutes to receive my order. (She'd gotten there early and had already finished eating before I got a chance to order.) I got the bananas foster french toast. Like many things on the menu, it *sounds* delicious and creative. What you get is always a let down from that expectation.
"2 croissants with fresh bananas and honey cream cheese. With house potatoes."
Well, the croissants were there. The bananas were not, which is a pretty big oversight in "bananas foster" anything. The croissants were covered in an incredibly sugary, thick sauce. The honey cream cheese was so thick and cold like it just came out of the fridge, I couldn't eat it. The potatoes were fine.
It took a long time to order, get food, get refills, get checks, get our cards back, etc. It was sunny that day- a warmish Sunday in February- so they had the front doors open. But it was still only 50° with a breeze. Sitting just next to the host stand at the doorway, we were cold and in our coats. We asked the hostess to close the doors, and she had to get a manager due to their height. He closed one of the double doors...which only made the breeze stronger and us colder. When I asked him directly, he obliged and closed the second.
Just poor service. Slow and inattentive, and the food was definitely not good enough this time to even that out. I dont think I'll be back.
Oh! It was alllll 90s music while we were in there. That's one part I didn't mind
