Everything was delicious! First time here and we were very happy to find The Local. Everything was very fresh and we will definitely think of returning when back in Charlottesville!

Gracie was our server and she was amazing. My son, mother, and I went for a nice meal since my son had finished his first semester at UVA. We had the Friday porkchop special and my mom had the senior filet meal, We started with the BBQ bacon wrapped shrimp appetizer which my son said was the best shrimp dish he’d ever had. My son had the French onion soup and my mom and I shared a wedge. Everything was very flavorful. We had eaten at Perry’s a couple times previously and you can’t get a better porkchop. It’s got a caramelized “crust of deliciousness on the outside and even the lunch portion is huge. My mother loved her filet. Even the mashed potatoes were fluffy and creamy. For dessert, my son got the crunch tower and my mom and I split the D’Angelo table side flamed dessert. We really had an incredible meal. Gracie was lovely and was very patient with special requests. Thank you, Gracie!!! What a great personality—very endearing. Thank you, Perry’s!!

The wine that I wanted was unavailable by the bottle, but one of the wine experts recommended a beautiful bottle of wine. Our table ordered two of them. Delicious! Our food was off the chart fabulous. Enjoyed every minute of the experience well taken care of! Highly recommended! 

Everything was great. We even took a pix with Santa

Truly a dining experience, not just a meal. We were seated upstairs in the bar area, our server was very attentive from the time we arrived, around both bar and food service. Knowledgeable about the menu, particularly around pairings (protein with sauce/compound butter, à la carte sides, and wines). Classic with a twist steakhouse menu in a beautiful historic building. Definitely on the favorites list. ❤️
