What's happened to one of my fave restaurants ???
We have been going to Local since it opened, brought lots of folks there who have loved it as much as we did. The last two or three times have been truly disappointing in every way. Servicers were pleasant but not attentive, menu hasn't changed for a vary long while and the food just isn't as good as it has been in the past.
I think it took a turn when their young chef Kyle left. We went last night with another couple who have been looking forward to this as we've raved about Local for years. They'll never go back and I don't think we will either. the kale salad was chewing, tough and the dressing was tastless, the special pasta was soooooo salty, and I love salt, and the "creamy gorgonzola" sauce was watery and tasteless. Their famous gnocchi was salty and not up to the standards of the past & the anchovy appy was on stale bread.
Hope Mike and Fabio pull it together again, I miss the inventive menu and quality...
