Truly memorable family birthday meal. Chi-chi made everything absolutely wonderful. All of our dishes were great, but the salmon, trout and catfish were the favorites. I had the Beef cheek -loved it. The fingerling potatoes (side) had an unusual spice and I couldn’t eat those…will opt for the mashed golden potatoes or rice next time. Frigid temps tonight & seating near the windows was a bit cold. Overall, Thank you for your excellent service!! It made my birthday and my night !!

This has become my favorite restaurant in Atlanta. The food quality and flavor profiles are top notch. The restaurant staff provide excellent service and always welcoming to the table. One of my favorite things about Local 3 is that my food allergies are saved in the system. That is good business! I’ll be back again, and again, and again. Thank you!
