    We love to treat ourselves to a meal at Lokal whenever we are on the upper west side. Amazing food and great service. We've never been disappointed with any of their food. Highly recommend!

    Our experience at Lokal 83 was terrific: we shared three small plates (lentil patties, zucchini pancakes, and crab cakes.) All were fresh, attractively but not "fussily" displayed and all very tasty. Despite two of the dishes being fried it did not have that soaking heaviness that friend food can sometimes have. The service was attentive without being annoying and the price was appropriate for the quality. We also VERY much appreciated that if there was any music it was at a level that did not interfere with a good conversation. Will definitely return.

    Everything we ordered was delicious. I recommend the branzino, eggplant salad & crab cakes, baklava or the pumpkin dessert (if you want something less sweet). The service was excellent as well.

    Service was excellent, as were my cocktail and wine. Food was too bland for my taste.
