I have been to the The Local 218 three times in the last 3 months. The first 2 times were exceptional! I ordered the scallop appetizer on pea puree the first time I was there and it was amazing! I was back tonight for a ladies night and wanted somethinglight so I thought I would try that again. I expected to see the scallops on pea puree as pictured and was given scallops onrice with fried onions. It was nothing like described on the menu or how I had previously ordered. Very disappointing!

All I wanted was to treat myself to an upscale meal and this place did exactly that! We went from restaurant to restaurant with no such luck until we came here. Kelly was our server and she took the best care of us! Our food was fantastic and theenvironment was perfect. I was so impressed by the high quality of food and the diversity of the menu items. From now on,whenever I want a great experience, this is where I will come! Great job all around to the staff and owner for giving me what 2other towns couldn?t!

We went there for the bottomless bloody mary and mimosa bar and it was delicious. Friendly service and great food. We tried the chicken and waffles and seafood po boy sandwich! Would highly recommend either one. If you are looking for somewhere to gofor Sunday brunch, this is the place!

Upscale feel, with a very casual atmosphere. Lots of kids for a Friday night, and some very very loud tables as well. People were having a good time. The prices reflect the effort to come off as high end, and the menu meets the expectation. Thepistachio Walleye was quite good, and the apps were too. Overall, a nice place to eat, though a little rambunctious for theprice point.

There's a fantastic new restaurant in Baudette that is quickly becoming a favorite among locals. It's the best place to dine in Baudette proper. We tried the pretzel and deep fried pickle appetizers, both of which were delicious. The Cajun chicken Caesar wrap, prime rib, and burgers were outstanding choices for our main courses.
