    Westside Local was terrific! I loved the brick walls, the food was excellent (I had the grilled cheese and tomato soup). For dessert we shared the special of the day which was a cornbread, blackberry, honey cake! It was phenomenal!! We will go back!

    Love the food! Love the neighborhood! It's so handy for when I have tickets to the Kauffman and can drive right down the hill to the parking garage.
