A word from The Westside Local

The restaurant you'll wish was in your neighborhood, in the neighborhood you'll wish was your own. The Westside Local offers seasonal comfort food with class, sourced as locally as possible. Enjoy it all with extensive beer and wine lists in our historic wood-beam and brick dining room, grapevine… covered beer garden, or dashing little bar. Or just order some Carry out for that quiet evening at home.Continued

"The wine list was not up to par with the food.

The server was slow and not attentive or knowledgable about wines. He had attitude!"

"Very attractive urban space with high ceilings and exposed brick in a truly beautiful neighborhood. I had a marvelously refreshing drink called Lay Lady Lillet-perfect for summer! We had deviled eggs with a smooth and creamy filling, sitting in a green sauce I couldn't quite identify, but it was yummy! I liked the combination of vegetables in my couscous, just wish they had taken the seasoning up a little. My friends mac'n'cheese was delicious!"
