Kyra, the night manager at the local is an absolute beauty! We wanted something informal, fun, and high vibes for my girlfriends birthday on Saturday January 20th. We understood that it would be busy and that they didn't take reservations. We figured if we showed up early enough we would be able to get a table. We did wait, but the place was slammed and all staff members were trying to accommodate everyone as best they could. We had a party kept growing and growing, by chance and not ignorance. We were only supposed to ... read more

I suppose they've done an OK job with the old Chill Winston space. They've brightened the interior (good or bad, not sure). They've made it feel more open with a lot of high tables and stools. The service is very friendly, and very quick. Food and drinks are the same as the Kits local. Quality ingredients, and lots of them. But the chef must be sick today, or there's something else up at this location. BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH SALT ON EVERYTHING!! The Local Burger, with it's cheeses and hot sauce and jalepenos, is righ... read more

they should add no tip option. 18% minimum in canada is insane. also they did not address addon option pricing clearly.

I've been to LOCAL twice and sadly both times the service was EXTREMELY slow and I don't think I'll be going to this restaurant again. At the door it says they open at 10am on weekends, we got there at 10:20am. The restaurant was open but we weren't allowed in because they were waiting for their servers to come in. They had empty tables and had multiple people waiting in line outside. They could have at least let us take a seat and offer some water. We were finally seated after 30 mins (this whole time those tables were em... read more

I asked a question about a menu item, and I was given false information. I ordered the Caesar salad, and it was disgusting. There were whole leaves of lettuce, drenched in dressing. Totally disappointed.

SCAM ALERT!!! Do not drink the cheap nasty rosé they offer at the entrance. What is presented as a freebie to lure you in turns out, they charge you $2.25 per shot. Tourist trap. Very dishonest tactic.

We are sorry to hear about your disappointment with our rosé offering and the misunderstanding regarding the cost. We would like to clarify that our complimentary rosé samples are intended for you to have a taste and decide if you would like to order a full glass, bottle or just enjoy a refreshing sample. We apologize if this wasn't properly communicated to you. We appreciate your feedback and will ensure that our staff pr... read more
