The Local Dining and Spirits

Excellent food and service. The eggplant and bang bang shrimp are fantastic! Lovely atmosphere and friendly people. Please remember as you read other reviews that staffing seems to be a problem everywhere. Our restaurants are doing their best. The food is worth a wait.

Always a great experience at The local !! We recommend The Local to all of our Hemlock Haven Air bnb guests!!

Server was very nice. Was only her 3rd day and she was great. My husband loved his chicken parm. I got the chicken with maple bourbon glaze and a starter salad. Salad was gross and chicken was eh. Pretty bland. Atmosphere was nice

First time here. Fantastic bruschetta, wings, salmon, crab legs and the calamari is SO GOOD. Definitely recommend this place! we'll be back soon! great customer service and the food came out quickly.

We had two bad experiences at this place. First time visiting it took 1.5 hours to get our dinner. The 2nd time I tried to order a pizza which they said they were not making because they only had one person working the kitchen. Then after ordering we received our dinners and never got our apps. Clearly they need more kitchen help.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and the scallops are

Let's start with the atmosphere. What I noticed first is that it is very clean. Decorations were sparse but pleasant. Plenty of room, the tables are not crowded together which is really nice. We heard an acoustic duo and the music wasn't too loud, the room had a nice sound for music. Service... I didn't get our waitresses name but she was super sweet. She did a great job and I think she may have been the only server on the floor. Food... Parts of the meal were great... others not so much and these parts could be fixed so quickly. The bad... the rolls and butter clearly store bought rolls and heated, request for more they were cold out of the package. The salad was beyond basic. I asked for blue cheese dressing, I believe maybe they ran out and it was basically sour cream with some crumbles in it. If this is the normal blue cheese dressing they need to change that. Again, so minor in the big picture but this is how the meal starts so it just sets the mood. Now to the main course... My friend ordered the Steak Marsala and I ordered the crab stuffed haddock. We thought she was going to get a steak... with a side of pasta it was slices of steak on a HUGE bed of pasta with a thick marsala sauce on the pasta. Tasty but should not be listed as a steak. This is a pasta dish with meat on top. The crab stuffed haddock was excellent. I had it with a side of mashed potatoes which were very nice and the veggie medley was tasty and still had some crisp to it, not mushy at all. I recommend this dish and would have it again. I would go back for sure.
