We were a group of friends and ordered a couple of orders of chili chicken )my favorite of the night), garlic shrimp, wings and some sweet potato fries for starters. My vegetarian friends ordered Paneer and I heard it was good. The reason I backed off to 4 on 5 was their beer collection. I recommend they improve their beer collection and my love for the Indo - Chinese cuisine will keep bringing me back. It is considered an elite lounge for the area and I would call it $$$. (I still think it is worth the buck).

There are no matts behind the bar for the tenders to stand on, I already have knee problems and if I fall because they don't care enough to provide standard slip protection, along with Management sexually harrassing me every 8 minutes, it might just be my bar n grill by the time its over. The karoke is the worst part, we have to pretend like we enjoy that bs, in hopes whoever is up there thinking they can sing, get blasted enough to tip well when they pay their tab, because if you wonder why your server is being a bitch, its because they dont pay enough to live on much less put up with all the bs that comes with it.

We stayed on the main floor since the host seated us there, but later realized you can order at the bar and take your drinks up to the rooftop--something I wish we knew earlier. The bartenders were pleasant and laid-back, not pretentious at all. The cocktails were inventive and well-crafted. I went with the Coffee Date and Lord of Misrule--pretty good--but in hindsight, I wish I had tried more of their Fever-Tree and Chemist collaborations, which sounded especially interesting.

The only suggestion I have is to *please* set up 1 or 2 handicapped parking spaces next to the building (the place not being used but where the restaurant has a "no parking" sign). I have bad knees and despite having a knee brace on, it was painful to walk from the designated parking area when we could have parked right by the building without blocking anyone. PLEASE consider putting 1 or 2 handicapped parking spots there. It would really help!

It might have just been the holiday rush, but I always figure "busy means good," so my expectations were high--and The Local didn't disappoint. We started with the nachos; they were delicious, though I do wish they came with a bit more meat. For mains, the burger was outstanding--probably one of the best we've had in the entire area. We also ordered the Brazilian steak, which was cooked perfectly and came with great plantains. The quinoa with tofu was good, too, though it was a little dry and would have been perfect with a sauce. The service really stood out. Our waitress was incredibly attentive and refilled my water at least four times without me asking. Great ambiance and an all-around good experience. Definitely worth the wait!

Our water and drinks were empty multiple times. Unfortunately, the food was underwhelming and extremely overpriced, especially for Hendersonville. I ordered the banh mi and wouldn't recommend it. The small sandwich was overwhelmed with mayo and lacked the traditional Vietnamese flavors I was expecting. To make matters worse, it was $18 and didn't even come with a side which felt unreasonable. For that price, I would much rather dine at Postero across the street. The restaurant asked if we were celebrating anything, and we mentioned a major accomplishment for our friend. While the waitress acknowledged it several times which was kind it was disappointing to learn that there was no complimentary dessert or gesture. At that point, repeatedly bringing it up felt unnecessary. Given the high reviews, I expected a much better experience. Unfortunately, I don't see myself returning.
