It was too crowded. Couldn't find a parking space, ended up parking in a different place nearby. Very noisy in the restaurant. No workers wearing masks. Food is horrible. I ordered the crispy haddock sandwich. Ate half of it and didn't touch much of the fries - tooooo salty.

All good meals, great drinks, good times

Great food, atmosphere, service + price- including a bloody maybwith the cost of the brunch is EXCELLENT!

It was good as always. Never a bad experience

First off, our server was the best. Great and funny. Wish I could remember his name but he was awesome. I got crispy brussels sprouts as an app and 2 out of our party of 3 weren't crazy about sprouts but LOVED these. I got the tuna bowl and it was awesome....and healthy. Loved it. Everyone enjoyed their meals and the experience.

Our server was great, food was very good and the bill was reasonable. We sat outside, the music was a little too loud and would have liked more heat from the overhead heater, but overall it was an enjoyable night. I would definitely go back.

The food was ok and a little over-priced.

Restaurant was very loud and difficult to hold a conversation.

The fish tacos were a big surprise. Lots of good tasting fish with a nice slaw but too much dressing. Thank goodness I used the extra large napkin as a bib! The creme brulee had the right taste and was accompanied by a strawberry and whipped cream

Seven friends. Seven different beverage orders, lots of appetizers and then dinner. We had a wonderful time. The food is always dependably good and there is something for everyone. We could have stayed all night. It was very noisy because the restaurant was full, and it was hard to hear people at the far end of the table, so we just switched seats to talk to those further away.

Amazing drinks!

Systems went down and had to wait to pay

Service was outstanding. Food was terrible. I will not be back.

Good food. Could have had another drink, but in the wake of a lunch rush only was only asked once. This is a great spot, nonetheless.

Solid meal, good service, fast for a business lunch

Table was ready on Tribal and it was a busy night glad I made reservations. Food was great!

We stayed at a nearby hotel due to power loss at home. Despite being from the 'area' we were not familiar with the Waltham area Restaurants. We chose The Local from OpenTable. We both order the steak tips. Cooked superbly!! Kudos to the chef. Waitress was attentive to our needs. Good job to her!

Waitress rushed us, clearing table while we ate. Charged my credit card twice in error and did not tell me so discovered on my bank app, had to call restaurant. 3 days later still not resolved but manager has been responsive. It was a fair experience, food tasty.

The food was excellent (Steak tips and Roasted short rib). The setting is pleasant both inside the restaurant and in the outside dining area. Our waiter was very pleasant, efficient, and conscientious, checking on us with just the right frequency. Overall a very nice find.

It wasn't that great. Took 20 mins for the server to take our drinks order. We were a party of 8 people. One of the orders wasn't correctly delivered couple times. The burger was overcooked and was dry (and my teenager rarely complains about burgers). Given the experience I would say it was overpriced.. Ambiance was very good though.

Excellent hummus and falafel. Lovely dining outside, but the noise level was higher than expected, and then noisy road work took over the experience at around 7:45pm. Not the LOCAL's fault. :-)

Service and food was excellent! I would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience food was amazing! We were there for a late lunch celebration and even at an off-hour the service was fast and attentive, would definitely recommend.

Have been to many of the other Locations and have always found food to be good. First the music was uncomfortablely loud. We asked the waitress to have it turned down and it was but only minimally a d it was still too loud. Salads were OK. I had the tuna which had way too much ponzu on it making the whole salad soggy. My friend had the kale salad which was fine but a small portion for an entrée salad. Our waitress was terrific a d attentive

The Hong Kong noodles and mai tai were delicious! The service was attentive too. Thanks!

Mediocre. They tried hard, but they’re missing that special something that makes it a great experience.

Fish swimming in butter. Veggies overcooked and salted.

Great meal & loved the outside heaters!

Local - your french fries are terrible. FF should be crispy. Yours are limp and soft. You need a new way to prepare them.

Good food, friendly service. The server was helpful and knowledgeable

We had a wonderful time and the different choices for dinner were winners. We had a small mushroom pizza to begin which was good but a bit ‘flat’ —like overcooked.

I would return. I would order pizza again!

Worst experience ever , was seated and left waits over 25 minutes- No water , no service at all called the host to find out who was our server she said she will find out snd will come over to let us know , nothing never came back .
We then actually called out load when a server was passing by our table he then said that this was not his area but will take our order.
Another 15 minutes went by still no water or our drinks, when he did return he informed us that the appetizer we selected was no longer available, this is now 40 minutes waiting. Finally our meals came not impressed the steak tips were hard snd chewy tasted like fish the vegetables plain no flavor at all seamed they were just boiled, the tuna bowl lettuce not fresh at all , not happy at all . Full staff no excuses. Will not visit there again. Very disappointed!

This place looks promising. But the service - sub-par. Made a reservation on Open Table where I put in the comments, "guests only wish to sit outdoors." There was a note that outdoor tables cannot be guaranteed - ok fine. When we arrived for our 6:00 pm reservation, we were told no available outdoor tables, that we would have to wait up to 25 minutes. Ok - sure. They didn't call us until 6:45pm. Then, once they sat us outside, we waited for a server for over 15 minutes. We had to go ask for one TWICE. The other tables out there - same thing. Once we did get a server, that server was terrific. He was apologetic without being frustrated...he was smiling and kind and attentive. Jefferson, I believe, was his name. I understand that in these times, restaurant industry has taken a hit, and I am sympathetic to that. However, in order to recover, you must provide better service in restaurant and not just cater to your take-out orders. Seems like, given the wait times, this restaurant can afford to hire more staff.

Ample portions. Drinks were made as requested. Waiter was very accommodating.

Great experiebce amazing food

Was delivered the wrong food but it came out quickly and was delicious

Our server was awesome! We got to sit outside immediately when we got there. I think the manager/male host could use some better manners and work on his people skills. He was quite rude to me and my mother on the phone when we call.

We were so grateful that the manager was able to accomodate our group outside. The servers were friendly and attentive. Food & drinks were great. We will come back again!

It was early and the restaurant was nearly empty yet that sat us at the table closest to the bathroom. Not the best place to sit.

The service was ok and the food and drinks just ok. We’ve gone here several times. Wonder if staff turnover is the issue? Was ok overall. Not great but not bad. Jest MEH

Very expensive for what we ordered, which were fish tacos ($18) and a fried haddock sandwich ($19).

The menu had a crushed olive stuck to the inside of it, which raises the question regarding sanitary conditions as we deal with the lingering effects of Covid.
