   From the first bite to the last, from the shrimp avocado salad to the homemade black linguini to the homemade pumpkin pie -- Heavenly! I absolutely recommend this restaurant and will be back to celebrate many more special occasions!

   There is now an updated menu, and all four of our meals were excellent. The service was very friendly, prompt and professional. The outdoor dining space is one of the top three, if not number 1 in the area. They still have outdoor heaters and both an open and a tented patio which many restaurants have abandoned. The wine list very good and fairly priced.

   We rated the noise as 0 because we ate outside! The food & service were excellent ! The patio were we ate had table with linens which made dining outside a little more of an “inside” feel but the weather was perfect ! Put this on your “ to go” list for dinning out while the weather stays like this.

   The food was good came out quickly. The ravioli special was tasty but overdone with the sauce on top. The Keylime pie dessert was very good as was the coffee and the service was very attentive. I would Recommend this restaurant I was just not that fond of the ravioli dish

    Food just ok. Prices don’t equal To quality of the food. Fried calamari under cooked. It was like rubber. My husband ordered bolognese sauce and meat was spoiled. So he couldn’t eat his dinner. Dessert came missing half of what the menu said it came with. Went to this restaurant about a year ago we were happy. But this trip not so much. Won’t go back.

    We have had several meals at Locale, and it’s always been a good time. We sat outside on a warm evening. The sun was low and the patio was shady and cool with no mosquitos. The service was excellent throughout except at the end we waited a long time for the check. This food here is good although not exactly gourmet, with a well-balanced menu. The salads are quite small but good, and the fried calamari had been frozen and was rubbery. The penne gluten-free pasta was overcooked, but the Bolognese was good. We had a lovely evening overall.

    We celebrated an early Father’s Day with our family. The service was good and everyone was happy with their choices. Our dinners were served promptly. We were disappointed we were not able to eat outside as it was extremely windy! We will be back.

    The food was quite good. We ate outside and it was great - chairs need to be a bit more comfortable, though. The only real drawback was the service. Took too long to be acknowledged by our server, water took a bit to get to us (had to ask for refills) and our waiter, while pleasant, seemed to be a bit harried. I know staffing is a problem everywhere, and patrons are always asked to be patient - well employees as well. But again, the food was yummy.

    First off, we were rather neglected. It took a while for anyone to notice our presence. Our waiter was very nice, but seemed inexperienced. Appetizers ( Caesar salad, clams oreganato) were acceptable.Burato contained one small slice of prosciutto, thoroughly disappointing. Linguini with red clam sauce was pretty much ok. Short rib entree was terribly small. Rigatoni bolognese, nearly inedible. Desserts were ok . We won't be returning to Locale Restaurant.

    We had reservations for outside. When we arrived, they said they had to set up a table. They wanted to put us in the back where they had dirty tables from what looked like a luncheon party. The chairs were filthy, and the area was full of bugs. They said they had no other options although I saw serval open tables at the upper patio. We asked to be seated inside and waited over 20 minutes for a waiter which at that point we were so disgusted that we decided to leave. Please also note that there not one management person in sight. We ended up having a great meal at Sear House just down the street.

    Food was excellent!! The only reason that I gave 4 stars over all was because it was so loud to the point that it was hard to make conversation. After a while we realized that they were also playing loud music, we asked them to lower it and that helped with the overall noise. some customers still continued to scream not realizing that now they don't need to. We will defiantly come back but I maybe I'll try to skip Saturday night.

    The service was very slow. When we arrived we sat at the table for quite some time before anyone come over to even offer us water. Service continued to be slow for the entire meal. My husbands meal was awful and had to be sent back. My meal was ok. I won’t be in a rush to go back anytime soon.
