Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

We had a fantastic evening at The Local. It was packed with people all night so glad we had a reservation. Although, a walk in couple did get sat before us at our reservation time and we had to ask hostess again if we would get a table and then got sat. Bartender knew his stuff and was so fun to chat with. Had a super nice waitress named Jennifer and owner was on the floor all night making sure people had the best time. The venison burger was great (I order medium well and there was still more pink then I’d prefer so just be sure to order well or extra well done if you want no pink). Shrimp scampi was phenomenal! Heard great things from friends on their way out about the Mediterranean pasta and pork belly appetizer. Super affordable mocktails and cocktails. Best old manhattan around. Also, extensive beer list too. Very well decorated and overall classy joint which is what Watertown needed. Check out the local for your next evening out!

We had a great experience on Tuesday night at The Local. Kyle and his team took great care of us and the food was excellent. The Gochujang Pork Belly and Pork Belly Bowl appetizers are outstanding. Some of the best I've ever had. The Spicy Bolognese Pasta had just a little spice and excellent flavor. Save room for the S'more balls for desert.

Kyle and crew created a very carefully crafted dining experience for exactly what Watertown needed! You can tell that everything was meticulously chosen from the silverware to the drink menu, nothing was haphazardly thrown together without any thought. The service was locked in, the food was prepared perfectly, and the environment was cozy and relaxed. The appetizer of gojuchang pork belly had some flavortown qualities. 🤌 I had the New York strip steak that was of very high quality, and my wife had the halibut which had some superb flavors. Way to gang! 🤜🤛
