Cocktails were the bomb, burger was delicious, and service was nothing short of great. The only reason they didn't get 5-stars from me is because they only had Tiramisu for dessert and I was really looking forward to the sticky toffee cake.

Be cautious when ordering from this restaurant online. I used Uber Eats, but the restaurant was closed. My credit card was still charged though. It's really frustrating. They shouldn't be listed on Uber Eats if they're closed. And it's confusing because their online hours show they're open. Dealing with Uber customer support to get a refund is taking a while, which adds to the frustration.

The food, service and ambiance were great! We shared the steak, which was cooked and presented beautifully. The sauce was also delicious. We then had the house bread, which I was blown away by. (We took the rest to-go) Lastly we had a local salad, which was also good. It had fresh ingredients and was pretty tasty. I got a mock tail and my partner got a glass of wine. They also give a "locals" discount if you live in the area. I'd recommend this for a date night or a location to wait out traffic.

As the name suggests this is a wonderful local restaurant featuring locally sourced ingredients, a wood fired pizza oven and the best pizza in San Francisco. All of the dishes were wonderful - a sausage ragout, tacos, deep fried cheese fritters and more. The wine selection is amazing and the staff is warm, friendly and efficient. They do deliver in the neighborhood. Highly recommended.

This place was my favorite brunch spot for my friends and I. I really enjoyed this restaurant. The staff were all so kind, the food there was superb, and the kitchen staff were the sweetest. A 10/10 restaurant for sure!

We made dinner reservations the end of December 2023 for a work event. I chose Local Kitchen due to my own personal experience and desire to support local small businesses in the neighborhood. Based on my dinner experience on February 13, 2024 I will never revisit or recommend Local Kitchen again. The staff and the owners brother were lovely people but simply did not have the capacity to support the volume of business that evening. If we could have requested a different outcome I would have appreciated the curtesy of a call from Local Kitchen to cancel our reservations due to inadequate staff. This gesture would have avoided an embarrassment to myself for recommending the restaurant, the stress imposed on the staff and the now negative reputation of the restaurant. It took 40 minutes to get wine poured and an hour and a half to have dinner served. When the starter came the claim chowder was cold and needed to be resent back to the kitchen. The meals when served were luke warm. The experience up until we finished our dinner was so awful we left cancelling our dessert order. No one in my dinner party wanted to be there a minute longer. We paid a lot of money to dine at Local Kitchen and this was beyond the worst experience I've ever had.

Pizza was mid. Service was solid. Ambience was nice. Overall not the greatest but not bad. Pizza could use more flavor. Definitely try the blood orange cream soda, it's delicious.

Really nice food with great service. The spicy shrimp penne alla vodka was delicious, and the waiter made sure to confirm that spicy was okay for us before we ordered.

I was in the city with friends on New Year's, and found this Groupon. Soo glad we came here. The restaurant itself is very cool. It has a modern vibe to it. The service was fantastic. I had a blood orange margarita that was really tasty. It had thinly sliced Fresno chilis in it, which gave it just a little hint of heat on the back end. It was so good that I had two. We also had the muscles. They were fantastic. My only complaint with the dish is there were two crostini grilled toast pieces, but for a table of four, they could serve more bread. My husband had cacio de pepe. It looked good and he said it tasted good. The Parmesan truffle fries were just fries. Don't know that I tasted a lot of Parmesan or truffle in there but the fries were good nonetheless. One of our companions had a New York steak on top of broccoli rabe with fingerling roasted potatoes, and lump crab meat. It had a hollandaise or some type of sauce on top of it. It was fantastic. I had the rigatoni Bolognese and I had such a hard time not eating at all. Lol. The sauce was meaty and had great flavor. This was just a nice pasta dish and I would order it again. We had a nice dinner out with four people and we had a Groupon for $150. We all had drinks, 2 appetizers and 3 entree's and ended up only costing an additional $60. This was a great value with fantastic food and I would definitely go back.

We went for brunch on New Year's Day. The food was really good. I had the corned beef hash and I ate literally every bite. It was so delicious. The restaurant is very stylish and modern and the service is impeccable.
