Okay... I don't usually write reviews... if something is good, I just tell my peeps and thats it... HOWEVER... I can't keep this one in...  there is too much to talk about... so, I will just touch on the most important... FOOD and service... both of which get a 5 star from me... I've been a vegetarian (eating fish sometimes) for about 7 years now and happy about it... so, at the chefs suggestion I tried the Grilled Heirloom Cauliflower... WHAT, WHAT, WHAT was I tasting... Jimney Cricketts!!! Queso Manchego and a cumin eggplant puree... ohhhhh my!!! you know when a kid does the pee pee dance, hopping from one foot to another... wooooooowhooooo that's what this feels like... AMAZING... \n\nnow, I said to my husband... who was busy happily munching away on Crispy Pig Ear Pad Thai... I think I want to try that Tuna thing... The Bigeye Ahi Crudo... Of course he said... without even looking up from his Pad Thai... when the tasty little morsels arrived at the table, I had to take a minute to enjoy the beautifully prepared plate... LISTEN... I never did understand the point behind plating... until now... a decadently cut tuna lay nestled on my plate with with a brightly colored, velvety avocado mousse... tangelo gel\u00e9e...ginger and shallot confit...pistachio dust...Serrano chili... PARTY IN MY MOUTH!!! I had to copy the ingredients from the menu because my mouth couldn't explain what was happening in there!!! \n\nmoving on... now...the Roasted Bone Marrow shows up to the table... I have to admit... my curiosity got the best of me... I HAD TO... but wait... I'm a vegetarian... let's google that and see just what I'm getting into... vitamins... minerals... yada yadas ... okay... I'm tasting it... OHHHHH MYYYYYY GOODNESS... just a little taste... but between the lamb bacon...onion jam... and this ridic crostini... i might need another... and wow... wow... wow...\n\nI can continue to gush... but I need to stop there... to say a quick thing about the service... between the Chef/Owner Chris... Bar manager/Owner Adam... and our server... we felt like we were regulars at the local... My husband and I were not dressed for a 5 star restaurant... However... we got the 5 star treatment!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU to all of you at The Local.... you guys rock... we will see you again
