While the food and service are superb, I am in a wheelchair and my contact there LIED to me about the accessibilty and the washroom. This deceit should be criminal. He wanted only to get my money. Now he gets my rathe. I should have pissed on the floor 

Business response:

Hello March, I'd like to start by personally apologizing your for recent visit at our restaurant. Your experience in no way reflects our values or support of those that require accommodation at our establishment and I am deeply concerned by this feedback. We have a washroom located on our main floor to be able to accommodate those that need it and this should have been highlighted in your visit immediately upon your arrival. I take this feedback very seriously and would love an opportunity to connect with you in order to r... read more

Decent drinks, prices are steep for what's provided. Good ambiance if you're looking for a place to hang out and have a few drinks. Food is mediocre.

I go to this place 2 to 3 times a week and I love everything about it. Tonight I arrived at 11:45 pm, right before last call. I order few drinks and offer the hosts a drink because I knew they were tired and they did me a favor to accept my order, they politely denied my offer. As a thank you I left them 105% tip. While I was leaving the place a waitress approached me and asked if I paid in front of other customers as if she caught a thief and I said yes, she then literally took me inside to check with her coworker if I paid... read more

This place is great, it has good food and a great selection of beers and beverages. Its' problem, ( which is very common in Toronto because of the Covid regulations), is that they currently only have four tables on their patio to sit at right now. I like the food and beer so much I was willing to wait half an hour, and then just five minutes more but then when I had to watch someone else,( " They were here before") be seated before me , I lost my patience and went to Mucho Burrito down the street on Laird. They had an empty ... read more

Business response:

Hi Paul, We really appreciate the feedback. We are currently revamping the menu to bring some new changes on. LOCAL management has been taught how to control the vibe in the restaurant and music is key when it is at the appropriate volume. Next time you are in we would love to buy you a beer and introduce some of the management team to you. See you soon, LOCAL MGMT

The food was disappointing and way overpriced. I ordered the huevos rancheros and it looked like a plate full of tomato sauce. The restaurant was also not stroller friendly--the waiter wanted me to hide my stroller behind the booth near the kitchen and put baby in our booth in his car seat, and the place was mostly empty, so I don't understand why my stroller was such a problem.

Terrible service! Went on a Sunday morning, not busy at all and the serves didn't even look at us to get us a table. After standing there for about 5 minutes to be seated one server said that we could choose any table. We've spent 15 minutes just waiting for someone to come to our table. We've tried waving for the server that was just standing there and she pretended to not see us. After that we decided to leave! Super disappointed. 

Business response:

Hi Fabiana, I am truly disappointed to read of your recent experience at Local Leaside. I first want to apologize, no guest should ever be treated like that. If you could please contact me at kschroter@localpubliceatery to discuss this some more, I would appreciate it. Thank you.

The space is inviting the menu looks promising but the execution of the food is not up to snuff. Very busy & slow with drink order (understaffed) Order: Steak sandwich w/ fries, the steak was Perfect. Fries stone cold. Ask to be replaced. They were excellent hot. Rueben sandwich. Tasted ok. Sat under the lamp of course. And fries same as above, cold. Eggs Bene. Egg part perfect. Cold home fries. Forget side of hollandaise. Reminded and delivered, cold again. Clam Chowder. Not clam chowder this was fish soup w/ve... read more

Business response:

First I would like to say thank you for providing feedback on the negative experience you had Sunday. I will be sharing the feedback with the team to ensure we learn from it and make overall execution better. Cold food is simply unacceptable and we have made changes to prevent it from happening to other guests. If you have any other details on your experience you would like to share please send me an email at estewart@localpubliceatery.com. Thank You, Evan Stewart General Manager
