Best KPortal Reviews
We wanted to try something new during our visit and in a search this place came up with great reviews. Our server Michelle was a gem! She was so sweet,friendly and efficient. The food was tasty and hot. My husband had a new chicken item on the menu and it was very delish! I had French onion soup which was also delicious. The atmosphere was very chill and welcoming, yet energetic and fun. I would definitely recommend.
Enjoyed dining with our dog. The hostess was so welcoming and helped the staff run food. Food was good. Wait seemed a bit long but suspect restaurant was under staffed. Relaxed atmosphere. Several free parking spaces available on site.
Had a wonderful lunch at The Local in Neptune Beach Florida. We picked selections from the vegan menu as well as the oyster menu. Loved all of our selections. We dined indoors next to the bar. There is also outdoor seating available too. Our server was friendly and attentive and our food was served quickly and with elegance. The beaches are lucky to have The Local amongst their options for enjoyment of food and drinks steps away from the ocean.
This was our 2nd time at The Local. We tried the one near San Jose some months back. We had a terrible experience but we decided to try this one after a Facebook post in Jax best eats recently. Well it was 3 of us today. We were there nearly 2 hours. We probably only waited out front for 15. The rest was spent at the table. We had 4 food items and 2 were horrible. The 2 that were JUST ok were the short ribs brunch meal. They both had to add salt and pepper and hot sauce to give it flavor which is crazy considering how good it looks. My meal the chicken, country potatoes, eggs and waffle was terrible. The half a chicken breast was so tough and rubbery, almost tire texture. The eggs were watery or milky, The waffle was soggy and clearly just sitting. I didn't get any condiments or sauces requested either. To be honest it didn't even look incredibly busy. There was no one even sitting around us. The baked oysters dish was nothing but a glob or cheese and small oysters. Like is the cheese meant to distract from the small size? It definitely tasted cheesy and that's all you could taste, no oyster, butter or even seasoning. I was thoroughly upset. It didn't help that the waitress only popped in every 20 or so minutes. Even when I said I had a problem she disappeared. Came back 5 or more minutes later and said a manager was coming. They never came. 20 minutes later we finally got the bill where she comped it. This place is mediocre and extremely over priced for the quality and taste. I usually don't give 2nd chances after the type of experience I had at the other location, but I am trying to change that because things happen. This however was a slap in the face. We will never get those 2 hours back and now I have to find a quick sandwich since we don't eat before brunch. Got there before 12, left close to 2 hungry and wanting food.
We had a larger group and tried many of the appetizers. Every one of them was excellent. The meals were also very good. The fish tacos (grilled) were very good. The service was a but slow and if i had to critique anything, it would be the bar service. It took a long time to get your cocktail/beer. I would also add that the signature cocktails were very much on the sweeter side - needed more alcohol.
Me and friend ate from the special Cinco de Mayo menu. I love this menu and will be back to try other menu items been to 4 other restaurants in this area but this one is my favorite the bartender & D.J. were fabulous.
The outdoor area is a great place to hang out and there is usually live music on the weekends! There is also a late night happy hour menu for food and drinks from 10pm-close on Fridays-Saturdays.
Perfect weather for brunch in the patio. The Blue Goat appetizer was amazing, the slice of bread pudding had crunchy edges with a soft warm middle and the whipped goat cheese topping mixed with the sweet granola came together so well. I definitely recommend this appetizer. The short Rib hash was ok, I would have liked to have more potatoes in my hash. Looked amazing but just tasted ok. Our server was very nice though and very attentive.
