    This was our first visit. All 4 of us enjoyed our meals. Our server was friendly and efficient especially with it being brunch on Mother’s Day! Will return to try happy hour &/or dinner.

    My family visited Westside Local for Mother’s Day and the brunch experience was amazing! The entire staff was very knowledgeable and polite and gave great recommendations from the menu. We had to try a little bit of everything, but some of our favorites were the Churro French Toast and Brekkie Enchiladas. The Westside Cocktail was great too! We’ll definitely be back. 😄

    Leslie K was a terrific server - knowledgeable, warmly welcoming, and efficient besides (her recommendation for sweet potato quinoa burger was scrumptious)! She's a keeper!
