About this business

Housed in the Historic Boyd Hotel, Local offers an upscale modern American menu. Our cuisine is seasonally focused, uncluttered and executed with precision. We use the highest quality and freshest ingredients, such as meat products from Niman Ranch and seafood from Connolly's in Boston. Many dishes feature breads made from scratch and all of our desserts, including our sorbets and ice cream, are made in-house. Never overbearing, entrees are innovative yet classic, simple yet refined.

Local - very nice experience – My boyfriend surprised me with a dinner reservation to Local. Several office workers had mentioned this establishment so I was somewhat familiar with it's reputation. We were seated up front - a bit quiet but appreciated for our cozy frame of mind. The waitress recommended fried green beans and they delivered for us. The batter was very crispy with a garlic dipping sauce, excellent pairing! I ordered the sea bass with risotto. It was a bit under cooked for me but the flavor combination of the s... read more

My family and I ate at Local not to long ago. Food was quite good, although I advise against the green beans. they were tasteless. drinks were very good. lamb shank was tender and tasty. the waitress was slightly slow and would disappear for long periods of time. however, the main issue I had was the chef came out and awknowledged every table but mine, which turned me off. i realize i was with my sisters, and we were relatively young compared to the rest of the patrons but i thought this was slightly inappropriate. overall, ... read more

damn! i wanted to be one of the five stars – PROS : +Cute, Cozy, Portland-Hipster Decor +Perfectly cooked meats +Good Menu CONS : +Waitstaff SubPar +"Chef does not allow" side substitutions (for other sides on menu - I just don't like polenta! Isn't that my right as a paying customer to not have something I won't eat on my plate?) +All other food besides meat, just - eh +Most inexpensive glass of wine is $12, first glasses came as just over half pours. Second glass was a full pour, but had to ask 3 different people before li... read more

Gourmet Prices, Normal Food – My wife and I went to Local for Valentines Day. We were seated promptly at a table, and after about five minutes of akward sitting and talking (the table caused us to be very far apart from each other, but very close to our neighbors at the same time), we asked to move to a corner booth. Our waiter was attentive, though our water glasses did not remain full throughout the evening. We ordered the crab cakes, which sounded tasty. They were not. For the price, I expected more, but the cakes instead... read more

Maybe great once but definitely has slipped – Was in town and was recommended to check the place out. Was promptly seated and the place was very nicely decorated. Ordered a glass of wine and then twenty minutes later had to remind wait staff about order and finally got a glass of Pinot. Forty-five minutes later, with no appetizer our waiter came by to tell us she forgot what we ordered but she had put in an order that she thought was ours. One hour into the meal we got some chex mix (yes) and then about 2 TBS of asparagus so... read more

Skip This One – A local friend recommended this as a cool place to go for good food, a bit pricey, but what the hell, you only go around once. The place is eclectic and pleasing to the eye, but that's where the good stuff ends. We were seated and waited on in a timely manner, but unfortunately everything went down hill after that. Our wine was delivered a good 25 minutes after ordered and in the absence of our water glasses ever being refilled, my mouth went dry. Our appetizers came another 30 minutes after the belated wine,... read more

Good food, if your not hungry – I called a few times to get a reservation on a sat. night. It was really tough on any weekend night especially if its at 7.30pm. The wait staff was all sitting in chairs before we arrived. We were offered drinks, but opted out for just water. The only choices from the snoody waiter was Dallas water or sparkling bottled, which bottled was $7.00. As an appetizer we had fried green beans, which were $9. The entrees were $28-$38 each. I had fish and chips, which was scallops a whopping two of them... read more

Wonderful, wonderful restaurant... – Local has it all: friendly staff, delicious food, beautiful decor, elegent ambiance. I went on a Saturday night with a group of ten, and all of us were so pleased with the quality of the food and service. We were sat promptly when we arrived (with reservations), and our waiter was very attentive and polite from the moment he introduced himself. I experienced the fried green beans (even kiddos would eat these amazing appetizers), cheese platter, tomato basil soup and mini grilled cheese sa... read more

Best Burger Ever... – We go to Local for all our special occasions. We love the decor, the food is perfect and the waitstaff isn't snooty. We always order the same thing. The cheese plate, burger, soup (changes often--tomato with cheese stuffed croutons is the best) and an order of 3 extra sides... mascarpone mac-n-cheese, lemon risotto (very subtle!), and the seasonal vegetable (asparagus is our favorite). We usually skip dessert and have a few champagne cocktails instead. I highly recommend Local! Plus, the owners are real... read more
