    Staff is very nice and ambiance kind of cool. Looked at menu before going and was looking forward to the burger which was described in mouth watering fashion. The taste was good but the patty was so scrawny. The salad dressing and salad tasted fresh but nothing special.

    I’ve been coming here for years. It’s a great go-to for downtown! Reliably delicious food, great as a meet up for that expanding dinner party and always friendly staff. It’s actually the super nice and accommodating service and bartender that make it such a genuinely enjoyable evening :-). They make you feel at home no matter what’s happening around you.

    Very nice environment. Food was very good. Asparagus is too strong a flavor paired with couscous & salmon though. An aldente chard would be better.

    Local is one of my favorite restaurants in our neighborhood! My friend and I both live in SOMA, Local has been our default when we get together for a nice meal! We had the perfect table, where my wife’s mum was visiting from Singapore and she had a wonderful time watching the cooks make out pizza! Other than that we had a great time and the food was delicious!

    A Truly “Local” Gem! Warm and attentive service from start to finish. High quality and reasonably priced food offerings, from meatball appetizers, pizzas, main entrees, cocktails/wines. Ambiance is lovely, warm lighting, nice vibe music, tasteful decor. As “Locals”, we’re very pleased to have this unique eatery in our neighborhood! Please thoroughly enjoy this venue, if you haven’t already. Thank you, Local Kitchen!

    The food was great as well as the service. It took awhile to get service after we were sat down and it was only two other guest, but Maria was great once she greeted and served us. The Brussels sprouts salad was flavorful and pretty, the French toast was on point and the pizza was good.

    I've never dined at a restaurant that was out of so many things. I think the funny part was they'd sub something in but not tell us until it got to the table (and also didn't volunteer the information until we asked). Example, we ordered cauliflower and carrots. We got broccoli because they were out of cauliflower and we got fries because they were out of carrots. They were also out of 4 different wines. Pizza was fine; appetizers weren't anything I'd write home about. 3/5, probably won't go back.

    There weren't many places with reservations available when we needed it, but Local Kitchen had one and we grabbed it. I was a little concerned -- why is this place available when nothing else is, what's wrong with it -- but it turned out great. We were seated immediately, service was terrific, cocktails, appetizers, and entrees were delightful. Only note was an extremely "energetic" noise level. Will happily return.

    When I made the reservation I asked for a regular table, no high tops or outside. We got there and we were seated at a high top. As we’re being led to our table by a server, some guys starts raising his voice and telling her , hey pizzas are ready. She left us midway , no apology from anyone and walked away. No one gave us a menu, we had to ask for it. No one offered water, we had to ask for it. No one asked us if we wanted a cocktail, we had to ask for it. We gave ample time to all but it seemed like everyone was in their own world. I went to the bar to ask the bartender for a vodka she had served me on two different occasions before and she seemed like she had no time for a paying customer and party of 5. She seemed angry behind the bar. Mind you restaurant was not busy at 7 pm. I asked our server who the gentleman was that pretty much was rude when we walked in , i asked if he was the manager since he was being loud and going to every table except ours and she said his name was Juan, head server. She then pointed to the manager. He seemed like he was in his own world too. The tennis match (Serena ) was on in the back room and the staff were more interested in the game than serving, I have been there now 6 times and everything used to be wonderful as far as service and food. The restaurant has gone downhill. I believe it’s under new management. I hope they get their act together or they won’t make it in soma.

    I love this place!! We went on a Wednesday and it was happening! It was packed with a very fun crowd. The staff at Fly Trap work so well together. The owner Valen is right there with them and they all look like they are having fun. Our meals were fantastic! I got the Gnocchi and it came out piping hot- just like it should. So good! The kitchen was so busy and we were very impressed with the chef and team and their ability to crank out such great hot meals so timely given there want an open table in the house!

We also tried their homemade apple tart. Everything was delicious. Julian, our server was conscientious and friendly. We highly recommend Local and for sure we’ll be back for more!

    Mother’s Day was on point. We are locals and so Local is our go to, but for Mother’s Day it was not just a go to, it was a treat. It was our first time brunching here and we loved everything we ate, from the French toast to the avocado toast and the shakahuka. Poached eggs were perfectly done in all three dishes. The yolk runny and creamy and egg white soft and fluffy. The service is always friendly and genuine, but they went above and beyond to try and up the level of service and professionalism, which we could see and appreciate. Thanks, Local. We are loyal to you all, whether for a nice glass of wine at the bar, a staple dinner night, a night to catch up with friends, or now— a fun boozy brunch. We always look forward to coming back!
