    If you want separate checks, tell waiter up front. Easier for them.

    We always enjoy eating at Local22- food and cocktails top notch. Thankful we got the back booth as the noise level can be a little hard on conversation. Shout out to Ryan our waiter who we have had before. He is fun, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Be sure to ask for one of his tables!

    We were there for brunch. We had made a reservation for noon and were seated immediately on our arrival. The waiter was at our table within a minute. The table was already set with menu, and a glass of water. We ordered an appetizer and a black bean burger. The appetizer was served in about five minutes followed by the burger two min later. The food was outstanding! The service was outstanding as well. We loved the atmosphere! On a warmer day it would be nice to sit outside which they had plenty of accommodations. We will be back!

    It was a great night out with the family for a birthday. One of us was in a wheelchair, and although the space was a bit tight, they more than accommodated us. The drinks were freshly made at the bar, and the food was tasty with great portions. Multiple servers throughout the night made sure we were always taken care of. Nice work, Local 22.
