LOCAL Public Eatery Liberty Village Review

The dim sum dumplings and French fries were the highlights of our meal. However, the Caesar salad, while interestingly square shaped and spicy, lacked the classic garlicky flavor and was excessively creamy.
The most disappointing part of our experience was the sirloin steak, priced over $30. It was clearly a subpar cut and seemed previously frozen. Served sliced in a “French style,” the steak was tough, chewy, and stringy — hardly what you’d expect at this price point.
We expressed our dissatisfaction to the manager, who kindly offered to comp our meal. We declined this gesture, opting instead to share our experience for the benefit of others. On a brighter note, we received two complimentary Old Fashioneds, as the first pair we ordered had little effect.
In summary, I suggest eating and drinking elsewhere before heading to Local in Liberty Village for game night watching with friends. Based on our visit, they fall short in delivering quality pub fare or a satisfying drinking experience.
