We all loved our meals! Chopped salad, salmon, chicken dish - all beautifully presented and delicious. I'm constantly in search for a spicy margarita and spicy Paloma was one of the best! Excellent service - a great experience! Only request is difficult to talk inside - music a little loud with the acoustics.

I love this restaurant and always dine here whenever I come to Scottsdale. The food and service are always excellent. Usually pretty loud but noise level but it was moderate.

Everything was great... sat outside... a very good night... perhaps it's me but too many places over cook the seafood.... But just a little over done to my liking, but still was a good dinner.

Food is always good, service was excellent. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is the “extra” non disclosed charge for additional bread on the spinach dip we ordered. Look, so many restaurants are so expensive nowadays and it's getting ridiculous on the small charges they throw at you. It's a bit insulting. You order this dip, which was excellent by the way, they give you 4 bread crisps with it, knowing that it won't be nearly enough to finish the dip. The waiter, almost expectedly asks do we need some more bread for the dip. We obviously say yes. We finish the appetizer and of course find that extra charge on the bill. It's not really the extra few dollars being a financial problem, but it's just the overall constant charges to an already expensive establishment. It's not just Local Bistro, it's so many restaurants nowadays. I wish some restaurants would just do away with this. I'm not trying to get extra food for nothing, it's what I ordered. Just provide me an adequate amount to finish the appetizer. It's just insulting to a point

Great food and nice wait staff. Maybe a bit pricey and a little loud but overall a good experience

Local Bistro never disappoints! Delicious food, friendly service, and perfect atmosphere. One of our favorite dining spots.

We have been many times and enjoyed it every visit. We brought a couple clients for an early dinner and they loved it. It was a little too noisy for a business meal even at 5:30 PM but our amazing waiter Mark made up for it I was very accommodating to our older clients. Everybody was very happy with the appetizers and entrées they selected.  Great recommendations on wine and desserts as well from Mark. A great spot for a quick bite or a long leisurely meal. We were there almost 3 hours!

Service was great, food was pretty good but the experience was ruined from the amount of flies and mosquitos we in our booth, around our table, and surrounding us. We weren't even eating outdoors! It made the restaurant seem so dirty and this restaurant wasn't like this a year ago! We asked for more candles to hopefully keep the bugs away and still nothing.

Good food and environment. Don’t love how they revised the beloved chopped salad which went from awesome to more blah. Loved the Brussels sprouts. All else was yummy. Needs some good vegan options!!

Please don't try to pass off badly cooked rice for risotto. I know my way around a kitchen.
First time experience we got a beautiful free dessert!
Salmon has an amazing crust.

We went there for my husband's bday! The service was excellent & the food was wonderful. You will love the atmosphere. I ordered the chicken & artichoke & I would go back for that! I do not say that often. Everyone at the table loved their food!
