We worked with Michelle to plan our wedding reception. She helped us with the menu and the setup, and made us feel quite comfortable with what we could expect for the evening. She was always ready to answer our questions or make minor adjustments to our requests for the event. Her staff did a lovely job preparing the space (in a very short amount of time!) with our decorations and the place looked absolutely beautiful. John worked with us to finalize this setup and for the evening of the event. He was so helpful and so kind throughout the night. Anything we asked for, he went out of his way to get an answer or make happen. The people who worked the event were attentive and kind. All in all, the Local made our event just such a pleasure. The food was amazing and the drinks were delicious. They were so respectful of allergies and our budget. They kept my mom (she was our ‘point person’) updated throughout the evening so we knew when we were getting close to our bar limit–which didn’t happen until the end of the night! Overall, they created a truly magical reception for us and we can thank them enough. Plus–our brunch the next morning was wonderful, as well!

Fantastic place! Extremely fast service, friendly staff, loved to see that all staff were pitching it in all jobs. Everyone was busing tables, everyone was running food, everyone was running drink. It gave off an atmosphere of strong teamwork and steady service. The restaurant is also accessible despite it being a historic building, which is always a nice surprise for me. They were able to seat us at a table with plenty of room to stash my mobility aid out of the way. The food was amazing and for such a great price! We left feeling stuffed to the gills and even had leftovers to take home. If we’re ever in the area again, I’d love to go back.

Really great quality food! I got the gnocchi bolognese and was very impressed. Very fresh and flavorful. Definitely a top choice for dining in Charlottesville. The cheeseboard was also delicious!

A last minute change in plans landed us at The Local and we were fortunate enough to get a table without a reservation. It's a quiet and quaint little restaurant with seating upstairs as well. I got the salmon and hubby got the meatloaf, …
