    There we 4 of us and we each enjoyed our meal very much. I was surprised how much cozier & elegant the decor was from the last time I was there years ago. At first I thought we wouldn’t have enough food but the portion sizes turned out to be perfect. Our waiter was the best surprise of the night. I feel bad for not remembering his name but he had a slight accent - British I think. (I’m so bad at this). He made great recommendations, was judicious with the wine pouring ensuring fair amounts for all, and checked in on us just the right amount of times. Lastly he dressed up our desert for our shared bday celebration and added a lovely small treat for the table. One of the guests is vegan and they had great options for her without needing to special order. Great time.

    The food was terrific. Super friendly staff. We like the decorations of the place but it was a bit dark and not easy to read the menu. We need to turn on our phone flash lights to read it. Overall a very nice experience at LOCALE. We will go again definitely 👍🏼

    Great experience. I did book on like and asked for the bar seating but didn’t get it. The waiter was apologetic and I know these things has. I also mentioned when I booked on line it was for an Anniversary so thought maybe that would have been mentioned. Overall a nice night
