    We always enjoy Local Bistro for its atmosphere, service and food. We have never been disappointed. We sat outside because the weather was fine and it is much quieter than inside. The waiter was VERY attentive and enthusiastic about the food and service.

    Incredible food. The salmon is my favorite. Been twice now. Good service. I think the steak is a bit overpriced compared to comparable upscale steakhouses.

    We live around the corner and have been to local bistro so many times over the years and had amazing meals. We have only been there for dinner. Today,Mother’s Day, we celebrated with brunch which was absolutely disgraceful. I had the egg white veggie omelette which was ridiculously small with no veggies to be seen. It looked pretty but I went home to eat lunch. Not worth the $18. My husband and daughter had the avocado toast. Also a completely minute portion. Where was the ciabatta bread? Lucky they ordered 2 additional eggs that weren’t on the menu that made the entree look fuller. Your Sunday brunch is a joke.

    I love this place. But disappointed in today's brunch. Two of us had the steak and eggs and were remiss in really understanding what we were getting. Very heavy on the sauce .. wayyy too heavy for brunch. My sister loved the Avocado Toast. Drinks great. Service was slow. While nice, Christian , was not very attentive and we had to beckon him far too often during the meal. I know it was busy but taking out of town friends and wanting to impress fell very short. Sad! 🥹

    Outstanding service and food/drink. Greeted quickly and seated promptly. Server was attentive and took drink orders quickly. Spaced out the apps to dinner appropriately. Artichoke dip is always solid. My SUGGESTION would be to add at least two more bread toasts. I know we could ask for more but really prefer not to, ideally. The steak salad and penne alla vodka was on point.
