    As Montecito residents Local is a favorite spot for our family. We love the healthy food options with carefully chosen ingredients that support healthy nutrition and always taste delicious. Many gluten free options and healthy oils are used. The staff excels in giving attentive and personalized attention. We eat here regularly and also love to meet friends or host out of town guests. Thank you Local for providing Montecito with such a delightful dining experience.

    A great local Montecito hangout. Love the Kale-Baby Gem salad with the addition of grilled chicken. We also enjoyed the Fish Tacos and the Chicken Milanese. Started with a delicious fried calamari appetizer. Super comfortable seating outside with great heaters. Also check out the inspiring cocktail menu.
