The Local Company

'Local' hasn't figured out it's a restaurant yet. The resto-lounge with a trendy atmosphere and televisions playing modern movie classics isn't enough to bring our party of 10 back. The 'sharing plates' are actually just a long list of appetizers and aren't big enough for sharing. The 17 dollar burger I ordered arrived on a bun that was still ice cold from the refrigerator. For that price I would expect to be asked how I'd like the burger cooked. No such luck. The dipps were bland and only came with one pita cut into 6 pieces for dipping. When my friends asked for more, they waited more than ten minutes and only one more pita arrived which was later charged to their bill for 3 dollars. The service was so slow and apathetic that it seemed deliberate. I'm not sure what this restaurant is trying to acheive, but it's clear to me why it was 3/4's empty on a Friday night.
