What User doesn't like about The Local:
We visited as part of a group. My standout memory on a Monday evening here will be of the ringing of a loud bell at 10.30pm, signalling it was time to leave! It took over an hour to serve main courses to our group. My Beetroot Salad was quite nice; but my partner's Barramundi was ordinary. There was nothing at this venue that would make us want to return.

Most enjoyable! Went for a selection of the small plates which are $8 apiece on Tuesday. The three ladies at the table along from us did the same! The winter sunshine was lovely to bask in and imbibe a wine for myself and a beer for my bloke! View all feedback.

Dropped in here with a mate for a chicken parma for dinner. Pretty good. Large in size. The only down side to a large Parma is the edges are quite thin and dry...
