I dined here when they first opened forever ago and again last night. And the quality of this place, on all levels, is still consistent after all these years. Cozy atmosphere, but a cool vibe. Service is on point at every step but never pretentious, always welcoming. Food is obviously chef-led cause you can taste the love in each dish - no one in our party had a bad bite. Love that Local remains in DE after all these years and still is a stellar place to dine.
Phenomenal food. Tracy Miller is a genius, who is an artist in the kitchen, the Mozart of cooking. Every dish was truly a beautiful piece of art, with each course bursting with amazing flavor. Great variety on the menu, elevated & creative American food. Truly a magical eating experience, can’t wait to go back & try the chefs tasting 9 course meal :D
Got to meet the chef. Loved the vibe and the food was wonderful! The sangria was one of the best I've had. The sea bass did not disappoint.
The food was delicious. Everyone in my party was pleased with what they ordered! We really liked the tucked- away feel of the restaurant and the overall look of the dining room. They do not have a liquor license and serve wine and wine-based cocktails only. We did notice that the service was oddly casual for a place with a tasting menu, and the music was distracting at the volume that was chosen. It was an interesting combination of incredible food with an atmosphere that couldn't quite keep up with the menu.
I had the Chef's tasting menu. Overall it was excellent. I am looking forward to Chef's next chapter of tasting menu. I personally think it's the best valued 7 course meal in the city, Especially with wine pairing already built in to the $120 per person proce point. Chef had it just right, as I know how difficult it is to impress anyone with 7 courses of American based cuisine.

This place is an absolute diamond. For decades we have been perusing Deep Ellum for music and entertainment, but only recently discover Local. My wife booked it for our 6th Wedding Anniversary dinner and it was one of the funnest nights we've ever experienced.
We decided to go with the Nine Course food tasting paired up with accompanying wine menu. A little pricey for the combo but WELL WORTH the expense!!! The food was delicious and well studied- course sizes were perfectly delivered. We ate everything on our plates but portion sizes did not leave us still hungry. And the wines were amazing- paired expertly with the individual food courses.
The heavy hitters were the The Bezel Cakebread Chardonnay which went perfectly with the Crusted Sea Bass in dill sauce and the Martin Ray Cab with the Tenderloin. Also the short ribs were amazing.
At the end of the night we met the chef, and were surprised to see one single talented lady and not an entire team!
The evening will be forever remembered and we can't recommend Local enough. Thank you!!!
Chef Tracy is a legend in the kitchen. Quality ingredients cooked with skill and detail.
If you have the opportunity to do the tasting menu here, do it!! What a treat! It was such a great sampling of their delicious dishes. Soups, fish, beef, dessert...wines paired perfectly. I'll be back for a standard dinner to have the sea bass.... that dish stole the show for me. Fantastic!!
The staff was awesome, each dish was described, each wine introduced. Courses came out at a perfect pace.
The ambience inside is very minimal, not too fancy not-- too laid back. Just a really clean modern vibe.
It was a perfect anniversary celebration. I'm looking forward to going back.
If you want some of the most amazing food you've ever eaten, in a fantastic renovated space, with amazing service, eat here!
Hidden gem in Deep Ellum. The atmosphere is dark and loungy and food is exceptional.
Tried the tasting menu with wine pairings for our anniversary and had an absolutely amazing time! The pairings were great, and the food was amazing as well. Many really awesome flavor combinations. The spare rib (pictured) was epic, and the lobster cake was life changing as a crab cake fan. My fiancé loved the scallop. Everything was perfectly cooked. The staff were very attentive, and everything made for such a nice experience. Thanks for making it one to remember!
Great place for a date night! Food is fantastic and Crystal provided us great service, helping us choose from the wine list and joking and having a good time. The scallops were top notch, the Brussel Sprouts were tasty, and the coffee to top it off was strong and vibrant. 10/10 would visit again!
We celebrated a friend’s birthday here . The salmon was amazing and the atmosphere was perfect for the occasion!
Food was delicious and service was great! I had the halibut and the peach salad with the margarita with wine and lime sorbet.
Absolutely worth every penny! Food is delicious and perfectly portioned. Highly recommend!
