I had heard that Local was not the kind of place I'd want to be on the weekends or late at night (rumors of frat boys, dbags everywhere), so I was sure to go on a week day for dinner. At this time, the dining area was not busy and we had no wait to sit, although there were several other diners there. Unfortunately the weather was crappy that day so no patio experience for us.
The interior of Local is pretty nice looking. I loved their menus (nerd) and seating arrangements. Our service was quick and very friendly.
I was inspired to order the Amazing Yoga Asparagus Salad with Salmon since it was named for my fave studio right across the street! It was a filling salad with delicious grilled asparagus, other veggies and a bunch of goat cheese. The salmon was cooked very nicely and I was impressed with the quality of the fish. The best part of the salad, though, was the horsey vinaigrette. Yum! My husband got the cheeseburger with bacon (of course) and said it was "good". So probably an average burger here.
Our waitress did make a mistake on our bill (charged for an extra beer that we ordered but they actually didn't have on tap), but when we brought it to her attention she was really apologetic and fixed it quickly and gave us both coupons for our next visit. A little thing like that can really make a difference in your experience!
I was pleased with my meal at Local. The service was good, the food was creative and tasty, and the atmosphere was nice (early on a weekday at least).
