Food was excellent. Went here for lunch while in the area and found the menu to be pretty solid. Would love to go back for dinner sometime.

Good food and service. Visiting from out of town and found this along our travels.Vegetarian options: Called to check on vegetarian options prior to going. I was told there were. I specifically said, I mean more than just salads and was told again that there were.There really is nothing other than salads if you are a vegetarian. I had a salad with tofu. It wasn't bad but it was the same price as a salad with meat and just over priced in my opinion for a salad.In their defense, most of the menu items are a little pricey so it's not just the salads.

I came here for a little birthday dinner for a friend. I made a reservation before hand for a Friday night, and I suggest you do so too because they get pretty busy during the evening. The ambience was cozy and lively at the same time, a little loud but once the place started to have less patrons it was a little more quiet. Our server, Swechha was amazing! I was struggling to pick what entree to get and she suggested something right up my alley because i wasn't in the mood for something too heavy. For an appetizer we got the loaded nachos and they were definitely loaded. When the plate came out we were surprised by how big the portion was, it's an appetizer for around 5-7 people in my opinion. For entrees I ordered a steak tip salad, and i was able to sub out the blue cheese for parmesan and change my dressing to a vinaigrette, props to Swechha for helping me with that. My friends both ordered the steak tips plates and everyone enjoyed their meal. At the end we ordered a cookie skillet for the birthday girl and I'm grateful they put a fat scoop of vanilla ice cream on it. Overall, I really enjoyed the Local, prices are more on the expensive side so this could be a place for a nice date night or semi formal dinner. However I do think that you get your portions worth for what you pay!

Ordered the Chicken Piccata that was amazing! Super tender chicken and the sauce was great. Would definitely come back for the steak and cheese egg rolls.

Overall, the food is OK. I think their burgers are pretty good! Their sports bar foods are better tasting than their entrees. Wings, truffle fries, chips, and dip fried pickles. All are good! Service is fine. If you live in the area, convenience is everything.

More price hikes? Bummer, this can be an OK place but the food prices are not syncing with basically a pub food vibe. Sigh...
