Delicious seafood in a fun atmosphere. Gets quieter once happy hour ends.

Everything was delicious! First time here and we were very happy to find The Local. Everything was very fresh and we will definitely think of returning when back in Charlottesville!

This was our first visit and we will definitely be back. Nice variety on the brunch menu. I had the crabcake slider special and my husband had the meat scrambler. The mini crabcakes were filled with lump crab meat with light filler and were topped with crisp coleslaw. Our friend raved about the shrimp and grits. We shared a slice of praline cheesecake that was firm yet creamy.

Great food. Very very very delicious! Real food that feeds the soul. Service is great as well. Attention to detail and good ability to to serve courses in order and when table is ready. Small recommendations would be to fry foods in lard/tallow as opposed to seed oils. And as I age--I find the bar top tables and chairs to be uncomfortable; but there are lower chairs available--you may want to request them if bar top seating is uncomfortable. I never like paying fine dining prices and then being seated at a bar height table-but for this restaurant-- the food is so good I go with the seating flow! Highly recommend!

The entire experience, from the exquisite menu to the people who welcome and served us, was and continues to be an event we cherish!
