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 👍🏼

The torched foie was disappointing and lacked flavor. The lemon pancake was so brutal that the knife couldn’t cut through it. We had expected a pancake to be light and fluffy, but this was a complete disaster. The pork belly benedict was decent, though it didn’t measure up to the other benedict dishes served at Pur & Simple. While the service was excellent, the food quality ultimately matters most, and it fell short of expectations.
