The Local is a restaurant that offers a mix of experiences. The ambiance is great, with good music and lighting, and the cocktails and wine selection are pleasant. The service is friendly and attentive, with the staff managing to serve large parties effectively. The food quality can be inconsistent, with some dishes, like the dessert brownie sundae, being outstanding and well-cooked, while others have received mixed reviews, with some diners finding portions small or the food mediocre on occasion. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes, including flavorful and tender short ribs, delicious and flavorful gnocchi Bolognese, and a meatloaf that one customer described as the best they've ever had. The restaurant is deceptive from the street, with a small entry room and bar, but a large and intimate dining area, especially the outdoor seating. Overall, The Local remains a place worth visiting, with the potential for improvement in the consistency and quality of the food.
