| - Wow. This places was awesome. My wife and I were looking for something a little different, we found Local Dish thanks to our Yelper community. I was concerned about getting a table on a Saturday night, but we walked right in and sat at 1 of 2 available tables. The place is kind of small. The waiter said it was unusually not busy that evening. i noticed that the crowd was perfect, just enough crowd to keep almost all tables full, but never requiring anyone to wait.
The atmosphere is very nice, almost cozy. Not fancy by any means, but also not diner-ish. They strike a perfect balance. It is kid friendly also, but probably if your kids are really loud, might not be the best place. Our waiter was very nice and knowledgeable. Don't you love it when you go to a place and everything you pick is validated by the waiter as "Great choice!", and he really seems sincere! He recommended several items and directed us well.
The first thing on our mind was the fried green beans as an appetizer, but it was a fail. Today's truck didn't run, so they were out. The waiter directed us to the root chips with goat cheese. This was a perfect app, very tasty, but not too filling.
They have a nice selection of drinks here, including local craft beers. OMB, Sierra Nevada, Full Spectrum, NoDa, Foothills, Benford, etc. Not a huge list, but very respectable. Tonight however I was drawn to the cherry infused burbon and coke. Wow, that was fantastic! My wife tried the Apple Cider Margerita. It just ok.
For the food! I got Roasted Salmon with Shrimp Tomato soup and zucchini noodles. It was amazing. Every bite just busting with flavor. My wife got the special of the evening which was lamb ribs, with a potato croquette. Also amazing.
They had a nice selection of deserts, but by this time, we were feeling very satisfied and decided to pass. I will definitely be back to this place, and recommend you check it out as well. One of the most satisfying small town dinning experiences I have had.
