Great meal I had the house special be salad with goat cheese that was awesome and then had the mushroom Ragu with homemade pasta. Everything tasted great. Our service was spectacular. Everyone loved their meal, I highly recommend The Local. It is one of the best places to eat in Charlottesville

We had a fabulous evening. The service and food were wonderful. It was date night and the menu with their special offerings were perfect for a great night out.
Ted
So refreshing to enjoy such professionalism in a casual and comfortable atmosphere. All the food we had was fabulous. I could eat their beet salad every day, and the salmon was cooked to perfection. Can't wait to go back so we can try the desserts!
Ethan
Fun “Local” tradition. Our table was right next to the hostess stand and near the door which was not ideal.

Absolutely perfect place to have our daughter's engagement dinner. Jeff the restaurant manager and his staff Cam were nothing short of magic. We booked a regular table for the evening and paid for some extras to make the experience special. Jeff took it steps further by providing us with a special room on the house all to ourselves! We wanted for nothing, the food and cocktails were outstanding, the ambience could not have been better. We liked it so much we are considering the location for other parts of the wedding.

We always go to The Local when we visit Charlottesville. It is always a wonderful meal. The Brussels sprouts and cauliflower is the best and the beef short rib is delicious
Marc
Faculty dinner with group of 6 enjoyed dining at The Local - visiting professor commented on quality of food and dining experience.

We have dined at many Charlottesville restaurants over the years, but always come back to our favorite casual dining place, The Local. Great food, service and beverages. It’s like a fun family get together!

Food was wonderful, so many delicious options. The short ribs are amazing and so soft they just fall off of the bone! Would definitely consider making this a regular dinner spot!

We had a 6:30 reservation and were seated promptly. Our server Ashley provided great responses to our questions, allowing us time to enjoy our cocktails before ordering. The bacon wrapped meatloaf was absolutely delicious, my husband enjoyed the trout. We shared the pecan pie for dessert. Best dinner of the weekend!
What a great find during our recent visit to Charlottesville! Food was delicious: cream of crab soup - perfectly flavored with bits of crab as a highlight. We had pasta dishes - mushroom fettuccini and bolognese. Every bite was amazing. We were too full to add a dessert. Definitely will return here on future visits to the area.

We love the local and go quite often. The food is phenomenal. I'd recommend getting a reservation if you want to go there on the weekend. Short rib was great.
Paul
Quaint place, two floors with a balcony. Food was excellent! So were the drinks. The soup of the day was fantastic!
Benedikt
This place has been reduced to a shadow of its former self. The service was mediocre and the food passable. The desert, which was supposed to be a cobbler, resembled a berry sauce with lumps of dough. A perturbing sight. Upon request, the staff told us this was the way it's always been served. I beg to differ. It was disappointing to return after a longer absence and see the restaurant reduced to this.

The crispy shrimp starter, beef short ribs and chocolate pecan pie were to die for. Always pleased with the food, quality of service and prices, a favorite Belmont restaurant not to be missed.
