    Another great dining experience at Local on North… They are by far my favorite restaurant on Canton Street… They have such an innovative and reasonably priced menu… Definitely try the red beat carpaccio with goat cheese and walnuts! Excellent appetizers, great variety of entrees. Fresh and delicious creative cocktails. Well trained wait staff. We look forward to our next visit.

    Excellent meals, as always. Outside seating was perfect, as we could still hear the live music playing whilst carrying on a conversation. Server was attentive but not obtrusive. Manager Daniel and his staff offered outstanding service and created a welcoming environment. LOVE
