We had just arrived in Toronto on an extremely rainy day and this place was suggested. What a warm and friendly atmosphere! To top it off, we were just in time for the live music performance. The food was good, ambiance was amazing, prices were reasonable, and the service was exceptional. The Local Gest was a great find for cold, hungry American girls on a rainy day. I can't imagine how much better it is in warm weather. There's a courtyard where outside dining looks like it may be a nice option, on a summer day.
