    Food was mediocre. I got a fish sandwich. It was okay but not the best I ever had. Fries were tasty but way too much salt. Wine pour was substantial. Our server was attentive but not overly so. No one In my group was complaining but no one was wowing either. It was just bar food. Restaurant itself is very nice.

    Great service - we called because we were going to be very late for our reservation. But they easily accommodated us. Excellent Old-Fashioned cocktail. Our server was great and very attentive. Food was delish. We will definitely come back.

    We celebrated a friends birthday here and it was perfect. Delicious food, very kind waitress, and overall great environment. It’s centrally located to people in NH and Boston area, since it’s right off the highway. I loved it and will be back!

    I was looking forward to my favorite menu item, a poke bowl with either tuna or beef, but the menu has changed and the bowls are no longer offered. It was that menu item which made The Local special for me. Other interesting menu items are also gone. The new menu may appeal more to some customers, but not to me.

    Lunch was excellent though sadly we were the only ones in the dining room. Felt very safe as a result though.

    Have been to The Local in Waltham twice in the last couple of months and have thoroughly enjoyed both times. Can't go wrong with the warm chips & dip app. All entrees have been great - cooked exactly to order. And they serve an excellent cocktail (very nice pours...). Definitely recommend.
