    We enjoyed an exceptional meal. Paul, our server, was top notch. Our great disappointment was we were expecting brunch options as offered from their website and Open Table. Saturday late morning…no brunch options.

    Back again — this time with a group of guys mid-week to celebrate a 50th birthday. For some of thd group — this was the first visit, and people were talking about returning with their wives. The Westside Local is a sold spot.
