(from Google)Food was pretty good and tasty, But wear a coat if you're going to sit at the bar area, we had broccoli, rabe and sausage,egg roll surprisingly good. And lobster fried Diablo.
Something for everyone, great for parties nice and spacious private room, reasonably priced Mike and his associate I feel terrible that I did not catch her name were absolutely amazing. They were both super thoughtful, caring and amazing truly making my brother and sister in laws baby shower amazing and unforgettable.. they are also super careful with food allergies, the private room is special needs friendly and they also have a kid friendly menu as well. They truly do think of everything. Strongly recommend if you’re thinking about having a party on the island that you do it here. The room is super versitile as well.
Absolutely loved the vibe here—the atmosphere is a perfect 5 stars! It’s a great spot to hang out. Both the food and service were consistently good at 4 stars each. Overall, it's a fantastic 5-star experience and a place I’d highly recommend for anyone looking for a cool, welcoming environment.
What an amazing experience filled with savory food! Calamari and fried zucchini filled us up omg! The special was a shrimp scampi steak that was cooked to perfection! The steak with spinach and mashed potatoes was absolutely filling! Pasta with red sauce was a great dish to nibble at but also a good option as a palatable meal. Chicken wrap with fries wasn’t our favorite dish but it was delish!
The restaurant is broken down into two separate sections: the bar and the more intimate dining area. We opted to sit in the more quiet and intimate dining area, which had a nice fire place and beautiful Christmas decor to give off a warm family vibe. Our waitress, Jessica, went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful first dining experience at The LocaL, where she addressed our minor concerns and socialized with us in a welcomed and extremely friendly manner; Jessica is reflective of what exemplary service looks like and she definitely helped enhance our overall dining experience! Now onto the food: the is by far one of the most affordable restaurants I've been to in Staten Island, where the portion and quality for the price is definitely worth it. The French onion soup and Picasso burger were both phenomenal and I can't recommend it enough! The zucchini fries were humongous for the price (as you can see in the photo) and totally filling! A minor issue we encountered were that the price from the menu mismatched the price on our receipt, a few days were either a dollar or two less or a dollar or two more, so check your bill! Will definitely come back to try their extensive menu for I'm sure there are still so much more deliciousness to be discovered here! Thank you again to Jessica for being so friendly and kind, hope to see you again soon! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:
