I was extremely surprised by the food and the service. Our first time there. Every single thing we ordered was far above average. The Lamb lollipops were delicious and a great value. the mussels were unusual, in a sauce that was not a white wine or a tomato based sauce. They were plentiful in a fabulous dunk in your bread sauce. I had the crispy tofu which was flavorful. And the totaling with mushrooms was unbelievably mushroomy. The pear cocktail is great as was the rum cocktail. The price was very reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food. Will take others there and plan to return. The servers were very knowledgable, nice and willing to make recommendations.

This restaurant is close to my house, and I love to stick to local places. Local, the restaurant, was really nice. Ambience is cool, good vibe. Our waiter was also cool, attentive, friendly. Food was very very good. You're eating real food. Healthy, depending on what you order, but well prepared with fresh ingredients. And some creative dishes. I enjoyed dinner here. BTW, big public parking lot behind restaurant.

A perfect little slice of Philly right in my hometown. The charcuterie boards and cocktails steal the show!

One of my favorite bars in Philly, definitely number 1 on the main line. Great happy hour prices and options. The shishito peppers blow my mind every time. I’ve gone there with co workers, on dates, and friends. Great vibes, warm atmosphere, perfect lighting, friendly and knowledgeable staff. 11/10 spot.

We always get an excellent meal at Local. It never disappoints. I love their concept of a small menu with portions sizes that are appropriate and not too large, serving fresh, well executed food that is perfect every time! Nate, our server, is always wonderful!

The server was not attentive, each of the four dinners arrived to our table at different times; the last of which arrived after the others finished eating. The servings were quite small; more the size of appetizers rather than meals. We shouldn't still be hungry after eating.

I can't recommend this restaurant at all. The branzino was dry and the servers weren't even interested in refilling our water glasses. If you're forced to go, get the Brussels sprout. It's edible. Most importantly, it's annoyingly loud. They pump music into a small space without any dampening.
Our bartender and server were both friendly and helpful! The specialty cocktails were yummy - loved the Stay Classy drink! The Mac and cheese was really flavorful and liked the shaved Brussel sprouts on top. Charcuterie board was amazing - loved the Speck, cheeses, bread and jam/mustard. Favorite entree was the half-roasted chicken with the horseradish mashed potatoes and asparagus!

We love LOCAL! The food is always excellent and the wine selection is stellar. Great neighborhood spot!

The eggplant was not cooked. It was hard and cold in the middle. Poor wine selection for a place with “wine” in their name. Tortellini was way too salty. Bread with the charcuterie came out cold. No plans to return, sadly.

Great spot for dinner! Food is excellent! Service timing is very good and not rushed. Highly Recommend!

The service was a little slow, but the servers were very nice and as attentive as they could be. The food was delicious, but the mains came out before we had finished our appetizers.
