What an amazing experience filled with savory food! Calamari and fried zucchini filled us up omg! The special was a shrimp scampi steak that was cooked to perfection! The steak with spinach and mashed potatoes was absolutely filling! Pasta with red sauce was a great dish to nibble at but also a good option as a palatable meal. Chicken wrap with fries wasn’t our favorite dish but it was delish!

I unfortunately live on the block of this restaurant. Over the years, the neighbors and I have dealt with people who have been over served. Broken side view mirrors blocked driveways, driving over curbs pulling away drunk, etc. If you want to see the quality of the people that frequent this bar, and the bartenders here, just watch the video. This guy was served alcohol till he could barely walk, got in his car, drove half a block, and wrecked my car, along with two others on the block. He passed out at the wheel a block away. I had to remove him from his car and keep him at the scene until police arrived. Great job guys, keep up the great work.

Great food and service.
The dining room is very quaint and physically comfortable.
Sadly, the large window between the barroom and dining room really detracts from the experience. The food is too delicious to be served in a tee-shirt atmosphere.

Just had my grandson's birthday party here. The food servers (Karen and Paul) were fantastic! They were so kind and helpful. They went over and above to make our party a great success. The food was excellent. I highly recommend The Local for a stress free and wonderful party.

Have always enjoyed coming here over the years.Todays experience was no different except for when the bill came. A very modest lunch turned out to be more than expected. Either the menu prices need to be updated or I was overcharged. A Ceasar salad is listed as $12, add chicken for $5. Math tells be that comes to $17. Was charged $19. A single espresso, which wasn't displayed on the lunch menu came to $6. Nowhere on the island have I ever paid $6 for a single espresso . Little things like this are enough to get a customer upset. It will be a long time before I come back, if I come back.

This was the 4th time I've been to The Local and it's always great. This area was lacking an excellent American casual/fancy restaurant and it's become our go to place. Aptly named with photos of bygone North Shore landmarks on the walls. Always excellent service and a menu that should suit everyone. The appetizers are plentiful and all delicious!

A friend and I went recently for brunch. The food was terrific and prices were very fair. The only improvement would be that our server could have been a little more attentive.

James is the best waiter. He always on his game. I always look forward to seeing him. The bartender is so sweet. And on her game. You never have to wait for her.
