The Local did their second soft opening this evening. Everyone and anyone that is someone was there. Food was half price. Mmmm….

Tomorrow is the official opening. I have a feeling this place will be around for awhile. The interior is gorgeous! It has a “date” atmosphere when the lights get dim and every table has a candle. Classic rock was playing at a nice subdued level. The menu/food could use a bit of tweaking. The wine I chose was quite good for the price. Service was superb, staff was very friendly. The bar is really nice, and when they get the upstairs bar/patio going later in the year it will be a great happy hour location (bar opens at 5, food at 5:30). Interior is smoke free. Not sure about the 2nd floor patio. Might be a few tables getting put out front when the weather gets warm.
