What User likes about The Local 218:
We recently visited this restaurant for the third time, and once again, the meal was just as delicious as the previous visits. This restaurant reminds us of the kind of place featured on shows like Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, where amazing food is served in a casual atmosphere, and the staff truly enjoys their work. We will definitely be coming back again! View all feedback. What User doesn't like about The Local 218:
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. The pistachio Walleye was quite good, and the apps were too. Overall, a nice place to eat, though a little rambunctious for the price point. View all feedback.
