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.

This review is purely based on the hostess that worked between the hour of 1900 to 2000 on 5/27/2023. We had put our name down for a table of 2 and I was told that the wait was going to be 30-45 minutes. I was fine with that because I understood that it was a Saturday night and the place looked pretty busy. However, after 25 minutes I had followed up with the hostess to see how much longer and she replied with "oh we'll call you when a table is ready, no worries." What set me off was the fact she started seating folks that c... read more

I had a burger. It was quite good a little bit on the pricey side. However, the burger was good. The only thing that I was very disappointed and I'm saying very disappointed. They did not have root beer. So I doubt I'll be coming here again unless they put it back on the red menu like come on which burger place does not have root beer. That's an American tradition

Six of us arrived at Local at around 10 pm, Saturday November 5th. Server served us until 12:30. We got our bills and decided, since we had a long train home we'd get another round of shots for the road. So because we had paid, we all got up and went to the bar to take the final shot. Server told us we'd have to find a table because he can't serve us at the bar. Fair! We all complied and walked to a tall table to stand at. The manager then comes over, annoyed. Asks us what we were doing, and that we couldn't just walk in of... read more

The breakfast sandwich and breakfast hash with beef were both really yummy. I ordered an orange juice and got like 1/4cup of watered down Tropicana in a highball glass that was 60% ice...really bizarre and the combination of watering it down so much plus filling it with ice tasted awful. How expensive is it for them to just give a person a normal glass of orange juice..?

I ordered the veggie burger and couldn't eat it because there was too much mayo, it was such a poorly put-together burger. It was also $18.50 CAD. My husband asked for the pasta which was very small portioned and we asked for no cheese, but it came with cheese. Nothing for kids here and the service seemed slow and not enough waitresses. Our waitress was nice and felt bad about the mix up and took off the meal from the bill.

Hello, I am leaving this review because I am hoping that Local Gastown reads this. My husband went out to eat with his buddy and ordered a Virgin Caesar because he was taking cough medicine due to a cold. When he got home, he was feeling really off and it was clear to me that he had been given something with alcohol in it (he was flushed, his breath smelled of alcohol). I am asking if Local Gastown please double check their drink orders? I don't want to see this happen to someone who orders a virgin drink because they can... read more
