    I recently visited Local Three for their all-you-can-eat brunch, and it was absolutely fantastic! The bottomless mimosas were a delightful touch, especially the elderflower mimosa, which quickly became my favorite. It had a refreshing and unique flavor that made the experience even more enjoyable. The food was simply amazing. Since I can only have seafood, Chef Amanda went above and beyond by preparing shrimp separately from the grits just for me, and I truly appreciated her attention to detail. Everything was cooked to perfection, and the variety of dishes available was impressive. The pastries and desserts were also incredible, showcasing a wonderful selection that satisfied my sweet tooth. Our server, Alvin, provided excellent service throughout the meal, ensuring that we had everything we needed and making the experience all the more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a brunch spot that offers delicious food, refreshing mimosas, and outstanding service, I highly recommend Local Three. I can’t wait to return for another wonderful meal!
