We took our out of town house guests to The Local since we have always had great meals there. Our guests enjoyed the food and the service too. We will definitely be back to our “local” eatery, only a walking distance of eight blocks away, again, for out of town guests and to enjoy ourselves. Thank you to The Local.

Best meal we've had in awhile with large portions! They accommodated a change to our reservation which was very appreciated. The spacing was a little tight, so it was a little loud, but the service was fantastic and the food was superb. Highly recommend Public Fish & Oyster.

Outstanding! Food and service were top notch. I have never had such fresh scallops, the chirashi bowl was killer and the craft cocktails amazing. Great place, definitely worth it and will go back.
