A wonderful American bistro that is a like a summer escape in the Northshore. Whether you are eating on the outside terrace in a canopy of greenery or on the inside with an ambiance of earthly tones- 501 Local has a very zen energy. The dinners are excellent from the chicken cutlet served with dollops of potatoes and greens to tasty burgers with great, crispy fries. We cannot wait to come back.

My wife and I had our first experience at 501 Local this evening. I can say the food and Patio were great, but the service was just not good. I really can’t sugar-coat it, our server was not competent.

All in all a good experience, but it turned sour(raw) at the end.

Good vibes here. I went here on the last weekend of October when it was 70 degrees and sat outside. Really good service, the server was funny and really accommodating. Food is reasonably priced for the area and you leave here full and definitely content. I’d love to come back during the summer.

I loved both the food and atmosphere. They have been very busy so the service was not perfect but I’ll definitely come back.

I like the fresh and clean decor and that they have a lovely outside area. The menu is great if a bit eclectic. I had the tuna tataki (pictured), it was lovely and very beautifully presented. My friend had the scallops, he said they were great. I had a margarita which tasted funny – definitely not a usual margarita from your favourite Mexican joint, but it grew on me. The service is attentive and professional. It’s a bit on the pricey end but the experience is a lovely one.

Loved everything about this place. It was my first time in downtown Winnetka and 501 Local was amazing! Beautiful patio area, friendly staff, and delicious food! The presentation of the dishes were beautiful too.

Our experience was forgettable. The salmon was bland and tasteless but beautifully presented. The short ribs more like a pot roast from a crockpot. The waitress was pleasant but didn’t seem to care that I barely ate any of my meal. It was busy so there must be some appeal but we just didn’t find it worth the price.
