   Second time at Local 121 and it was just as delicious as we remembered! The hostess was very friendly and server tried her best to be attentive. I appreciated that she gave us a heads up that she was a little busy due to being shorthanded, which made her lack of attention excusable to an extent. The deviled eggs were different and the calamari is top notch! The risotto carbonara was something so decadent yet not extremely heavy, which was surprising! Will definitely return for another visit!

   The food was so good! Such a great space and a great atmosphere. Sad to hear that it is closing next week.

   We had reservations and were seated immediately on a busy Friday night. Good food, great service, and very good drinks. Would definitely go back if we are in Prov again.

   Service was great! Very attentive and polite. On issue I had was the salt content. I felt the food was over salted. I order the calamari and past dish. Although the food was very good the salt was a bit over powering. Drink options and execution was outstanding.

   Arrived on time for an 8:30 pm reservation on a Sat nite. Waited a few minutes to be seated. Had requested a booth, but was given a table next to a very noisy, inebriated party of six, though saw an open, seemingly available booth across the room that we would have preferred. Our server was quick to come over, but once we said we would not be ordering alcohol (was with Mormon relatives) she simply seemed to shut down. She took our food order which took a very long time to arrive, despite the late hour. Our server whizzed by after our entrees finally arrived to check on us fleetingly, but seemed to have no interest in attending to our table. She never came back after that and once we finished our main course we had to, after 5+ minutes of waiting and looking around the room for our server to come offer dessert and coffee we finally decided to flag down another server (who reeked of cigarette smoke) to ask for menus. Amazingly once we obtained the menus our server showed up again to take our order, with somewhat of an incredulous attitude. It was almost like she was serving a large party elsewhere in the restaurant or had no interest in us because we weren't drinking b/c she was not at all attentive. On a very positive note, the menu is creative and the food was delicious. We would absolutely return for that reason, but would insist on a booth. Hopefully next time we will have a more attentive, engaged server.

   The meal was as expected, delicious. Our server was either having an off night or simply struggled to provide the service we would've expected in any restaurant. I'm not sure if it's standard for Local 121 but as a result of the service (or not) the hostess, another restaurant employee who brought our food and another member of the wait staff either filled our wine / water or checked on us several times. As a result we will absolutely be back.

   This was our second visit our first was New Years Eve and they had a pre fix menu.Everything was outstanding on New years so we decided to try it again with their full menu. Again everything was great service ,food and ambiance The hostess stopped by to make sure everything was OK and during our conversation found out that she in fact was the owner and was closing the second week of March because she wanted to retire was disappointed to hear that however understood being a business owner is difficult and even more so in the restaurant business I would recommend you try this place before it closes

    Went here for brunch on a Saturday because it looked delicious and was down the block from the Biltmore. Quiet (5-6 diners) because DownCity is dead on weekends. The burger was to die for (although missing the promised fried pickles), and Sriracha fries with beer cheese were incredible. The mezcal negroni was interesting -- definitely assertive. The lobster and short rib hash was the only disappointment -- it was sort of a block of short rib, and the red wine sauce detracted from it. Thanks for being welcoming and tolerant of our messy infant -- she gives your fries an enthusiastic wave of the arms!
