Visited on May 26 to try Backyard Fire Grill with family visiting from out of town. The restaurant…read morehas a cozy atmosphere, and it was fun watching the chef grilling over charcoal in the back. Our party of six was seated promptly. The menu offered plenty of choices, so it took us a while to decide. We ordered a full rack of ribs, Florida Cobb salad, bone-in pork chop, grilled fish special, and other entrées. Each meal came with sides such as smashed sweet potatoes, crock pot beans, and steamed broccoli. The portions were generous, and everything was flavorful. The only disappointment was with my bone-in pork chop. Somehow, my order never made it to the kitchen. Once the mistake was discovered, the kitchen prepared it quickly, and it arrived exactly five minutes later. Unfortunately, it was raw in the center. I was told that the pork chop is normally served slightly pink, but this was clearly undercooked. I wish I had taken a photo. The kitchen promptly took it back and returned it properly cooked. Despite this mishap, the staff handled the situation professionally, and the overall service was good. The food was delicious, the portions were excellent, and I would consider returning, hoping this was just an isolated kitchen error.

Amazing service and delicious food…read more My friends and I went to The Local before a movie at the Regal movie theater nearby. We were seated in a comfortable booth, and the overall ambiance was so lovely with high ceilings. We got there in time to enjoy a happy hour dinner menu. I ordered the Pork Ragu over Gnocchi as featured on "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives." It was so yummy! And the portion was very generous. Service was also very friendly and helpful. We had a great server. I'll definitely return when I'm back in the area.

We had an amazing experience at Bicyclette Cookshop on a Monday night for dinner with my husband…read moreand my in laws. Everyone in our group was thrilled with the entire evening. The drinks were creative and tasty, and while the wine list is short, it is very well curated. We started with the octopus, the bread and butter, and the mushrooms as appetizers. All three were excellent, but the octopus was the clear standout. I had never seen it served in that particular style before. It was a completely new preparation for me and absolutely delicious. The bread and butter was also finger licking good. For my main course, I ordered the cod gnocchi. I am still thinking about this dish three days later because the flavors and textures were so unusual and memorable. To finish the meal, we shared the chocolate tart and the tiramisu bread pudding. Both were delicious, though they did not feel quite as uniquely extraordinary as every other bite and sip we had throughout the night. One of our party members is gluten and dairy free, and our waitress was incredibly helpful in navigating the menu for her. She was thrilled with the shrimp from the daily specials menu. My only minor critique is that I wish they had a dessert option that would have worked for her dietary restrictions. Overall, this was a fantastic meal with top tier service.

The service was friendly throughout the meal, but everything moved surprisingly slowly, from ordering to receiving the food. We tried the salad, burger, and lamb kebabs. The salad and burger were decent but nothing particularly memorable. The lamb kebabs were unfortunately the biggest disappointment of the meal. They were quite salty and the meat was much tougher than expected, making them difficult to enjoy. Overall, the restaurant makes a good first impression with its ambiance and welcoming service, but the food did not quite match the setting. While the experience wasn't terrible, I'm not sure there was enough to make me eager for a second visit.

The menu is organic farm to table, and they even grow some of the produce on site. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, the outdoor being preferred in a nice day. I had a girlfriend breakfast meetup and we all had the special of the day... a crustless quiche, which had crab, cauliflower, and cheese, and came with a side of fruit and a salad. It was a huge portion, enough for 2 people and was very tasty if not slightly too rich. There is also a small shop attached with locally made crafts such as paintings, clothing, and jewelry. The items are very well made and unique. Highly recommend!

We hit this place up for their happy hour brunch/dinner deal and let me tell you--it's a steal…read more Between 3:30 and 5:30, grab a drink and you're looking at 30% off steaks and 50% off everything else (sides and desserts excluded). That's the kind of math I like. Started strong with crab cakes and a Caesar salad--wish I'd snapped a photo because they were on point. My 8oz filet came out cooked exactly how I wanted it, nice and tender, though it could've used a bit more seasoning to really make it sing. My wife went with the salmon and crushed it--perfectly done, great choice. Sides? Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes, both solid. No complaints. Now here's the pro tip: order the soufflé the second your entree hits the table. It takes extra time, but it's worth the wait. Rich, decadent chocolate and vanilla with a mixed berry sauce that ties it all together. Dangerously good. All in all, a great meal and a fun new spot to add to the rotation. We'll be back.

Then they said they were going to give us a dirty table but needed more time to clean it up. Waiting over 40min then having no explanation I asked for the GM. He had no answer. He walked away then came back and gave an apology w gift cards which I refused to accept. I don't need gift cards, I want an understanding of why that happened. If an explanation cannot be given don't try to bribe me. Horrible experience. It's a shame that I won't be coming back to this establishment. We've been coming at least 3-4 times a month and it's only gotten worse. Safe to say this management team needs to be addressed.
