India, our server, was exceptional. Anyone who brought us food or a drink was friendly and if we asked a question or placed an additional order they were more too happy to assist. The food was wonderful. Everything we ate was exceptional. The restaurant is pretty. It was very quiet when we arrived at 6:45 with few tables occupied. But by the time we left at 8:30 it was full.

This has become my favorite restaurant in Atlanta. The food quality and flavor profiles are top notch. The restaurant staff provide excellent service and always welcoming to the table. One of my favorite things about Local 3 is that my food allergies are saved in the system. That is good business! I’ll be back again, and again, and again. Thank you!
