Great environment. Beautiful deco. Guam is amazing. Calamari gave me a stomach ache of a life time. Beer options pretty decent, good even! Would have liked a salad option that didn't have meat ... 

Business response:

Hi Rochelle, Thanks for your review. I'm sorry to hear you felt sick after eating the calamari. Can you please direct message us with your phone number? We would love to speak with you about your feedback. Hope to hear from you soon. Cady | Guest Relations

Eight of us went to Local last night to celebrate a friends birthday. We are all regulars as we live in the neighbourhood and often take advantage of their $4 mystery wines and beer specials. Unfortunately that will be my last visit. A waiter passing behind me dropped a bowl or plate with ketchup on it which covered my back, as well as my coat and scarf hanging on the back of my chair.The waiter kept apologizing, brought those crappy brown paper towels. I asked for a wet cloth and a bag to put my scarf in, which of course n... read more

Business response:

Hi Terri, Thanks for submitting a review and letting us know about your experience last night. I'm disappointed to read that you had ketchup spilled all over yourself, your coat and your scarf. Our General Manager, Jeff, would love to speak with your further about how this was handled as he is also concerned that you left disappointed. Can you please direct message us with your phone number and the best time he can call you? Thanks again Terri and I look forward to hearing from you. Cady | Guest Relations

Went to Local to celebrate a girlfriends birthday. Eight of us were there. A waiter accidentally spilled ketchup all over the shirt, scarf and jacket of one of us. The response from Andre the manager was totally unacceptable. They took no responsibility, refused to offer cleaning of the jacket and were not prepared to offer any compensation. Upon returning home I found ketchup all over the outside of my purse as well. A note to Andre, small efforts towards customer service go a long way. Local got our business tonight but wi... read more

Just left there. On a Friday night, the service was terrible - slow, sloppy, and indifferent. The server asked for our order 30 sec. after we sat down. When we said we needed a minute, she disappeared for 15 min. We had to tag her to give her our order. The food was just OK. A request for more ketchup for the fries took a tag of 2 people & at least 10 min. (apparently there's a "process" & it comes from upstairs!). We weren't offered water, although the other tables around us had water. We had to ask to have the table... read more

Thought it would be a good place to eat for lunch. Got to the bar, felt it took a while to get a beer. I had the tuna club. I liked the creativity of seared ahi tuna, but it was barely seared looked pretty much raw and was cold to the touch. Avocado chunks, made the sandwich hard to hold together. Bread for the sandwich was really good, fries were cold. Gravy amazing. Like the sapporo on tap, but stuffy in there. Do not recommend but if u do - get the gravy!

Debating on a 1 or a 2, decided on the 1 because the food wasn't terrible, just so-so, but the service was horrible and we won't be going back. Ever. I would stay away unless you've got a few hours to kill. And I would eat before going, because you'll be hungry by the time the food finally makes it to your table.

Probably the worst service I've ever experience. Not only did the hostess tell us we were going to be seated than give our table to someone else but the waiters were completely incompetent in regards to service and behavior. I don't expect them to be smiling from ear to ear but at least look approachable and friendly. This place needs to step it up or they'll be out of leaside faster than you can say "soccer mom". Also all the cups smell like bleach.
