Hartford Court | Chardonnay | Russian River Valley, CA
Jeff Stewart | Winemaker

$18.00
La Crema | Pinot Noir | Russian River Valley, CA
Jen Walsh | Winemaker
AVA: The Russian River Valley AVA is one of the world’s premier wine-growing regions. One unique element of the area is the Pacific Ocean’s maritime influence which moderates the warms days of the growing season allowing grapes to ripen and develop slowly.
Aromas of black cherry, blackberry jam, and cedar are followed by flavors of strawberry, boysenberry, and sassafras.

Arrowood | Cabernet Sauvignon | Sonoma County, CA

AVA: Within Sonoma Valley, we source from hillside and bench-land vineyards from both the Sonoma Mountain and Moon Mountain sub-AVAs. Key to these sites are the rocky volcanic soils, producing highly concentrated fruit with a distinct expression.

Ben Perlmutter
I ate outdoors on the deck and arrived around 5:45pm. I was seated immediately and my waitress (Johanna M) came by a couple minutes later. I ordered a few minutes after that and received my Short Rib, Potato, and Asparagus literally five minutes later. I proceeded to eat what was the most delicious dinner I’ve had in a long time, and was very happy at how attentive my waitress was. My water glass, while small, was never empty, and she checked in a few times in the half hour while I was eating. I then ordered dessert which came a little slower, and I chatted with the waitress about a few things she suggested on the menu for a future visit.

Nachos was nice. The steak status was not what we ordered, a bit too old for chewing. The food presentation is nicer than how it taste like.

Mister Jon
Good food with generous portion sizes. Drinks were about average. Prices for drinks were higher than what was advertised online. Service was a bit hit and miss as simple things like getting silverware and having a water cup refilled were overlooked.

I loved the food (except for the brussel sprouts) and drinks at The Local; however, most of their offerings are on the heavier side. I’d love to see lighter meal options. Also, they didn’t have fried pickles (which was the reason for our visit).

We went on a Thursday afternoon. The restaurant was mostly empty. It took several minutes before we were greeted and seated. Then, it took a long time for the server to come to our table. No one acknowledged we were sitting there… a simple “we will be with you soon” would have been nice. We ordered nachos and pizza. The food was excellent. Probably the best nachos I have ever had. Huge portion, spicy chicken was fantastic, enough for 4 pesos to share. So, if you go, give yourself plenty of time … ☺️

We stopped in for a late bite last weekend. The bartender was very personable and attentive. We ordered the special crispy Brussels sprouts with bacon and honey (amazing!) and the veggie burger (pretty blah) and sweet potato fries (best I’ve had!). Would definitely go back.

This place was great! The drinks were good, the Acorn Squash I had was incredible. My friend had the Poke bowl which he enjoyed. We all LOVED the Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake. It was light, sweet, but not overdone. One of my new favorite spots to eat when we come to town!
