    yellowtail crudo
    Linda N.

    This place is relatively new in the La Centerra shopping center of Katy. I have visited twice for lunch and feel that they still need to get more settled into their operations. The service on the first visit was so incredibly slow. It took a good 15-20 minutes to get our drinks of water, beer and wine (not even cocktails that require a bartender to make, just pouring into glasses). And the food probably came out around 30-40 minutes after ordering. Lunch specialties: spicy italian grinder - delicious, tons of flavors, slightly spicy italian short rib dip - very messy, impossible to dip in the au jus roasted salmon (also in dinner menu) - crispy, fresh and light (the salmon was a bit overcooked for my preference but they never asked me how I liked it) The Chicken Pesto pasta was tasty but what I found interesting is that when I daughter order it, the waitress said that she'd have to check to confirm if their shipment of pesto had arrived. For an Italian restaurant, I would expect that they make their own pesto in house. The yellowtail crudo appetizer was a very light dish, which was perfect for my father in law who was looking to have a small meal. The prices are probably on par with the surrounding area. Portion sizes are more than adequate. The appetizers are OK to share between 2 people, but not really large enough to share for a full table of 3-4 people.

    Delicious small plates and entree options with knowledgeable and very friendly staff, attentive to allergies, and great presentation. Great spot for a day, group dinner, or night out for a craft drink and meal.

    The service was great although it took me awhile to get someone to wait on us. I love the ambiance and will be coming back.

    Shrimp scampi was so good!!

    Everything was fresh and delicious our group enjoyed all of our dishes and the service was fast and accurate. We will definitely return.

    Menu

    I had big expectations and was very let down. Upon arriving I was met by three young ladies and promptly seated, being it was a Wednesday night around 9pm(they close at 10pm) I was surprised at full it was. I had three small requests. Do not seat me in the bar, by the restroom or by the kitchen. They sat me right in front of the entrance to the kitchen in front of the server station. The facility is pretty noisy but the server station and the kitchen traffic was horrible. My wait after being sat was pretty lengthy before a server passed and said I'll be with you shortly, apparently her idea of shortly must be much longer than my shortly as it was another 10 minutes or so before a menu showed up. After looking over the menu, there were few if any items under $25 that sounded even worth trying. I asked specifically about three dishes, she informed two of my three were pretty much hype where the crab and shrimp were concerned, so I went with the traditional "Sunday Night Lasagne". I asked if bread was included with the meal and she informed me bread was additional and could be added to the meal for a charged (she didn't charge me not sure if it was an oversight or her way of saying sorry for the long wait). The food showed up relatively quickly, presentation was disappointing at best(see for yourself in the pictures). I ordered a Sangria which was supposed to have Brandy, what showed up was more like a glass(they take the wine glass away and give you a thin water glass full of ice with an orange wedge and maybe 3 or 4 drinks before the glass is empty. The lasagne was warm not hot, and I had to wait on the butter for my bread after asking for it twice. The taste was very close to an individual stouffers lasagne from the frozen section at HEB, but less lasagne. I asked the family at the next table how the pizzas were as they had two entrees and two pizzas. The dad said so so nothing great for the price they're charging me. Thank goodness as I almost ordered a pizza. The ambiance is the best part of the restaurant, It seems to be very trendy but definitely not a place if you're looking for affordability or a good meal. They do not offer a military discount. In a good note everyone seemed friendly.

    Great place. Great food quality and flavor on baked chicken peri / peri style…read more Peri-peri chicken is chicken marinated or coated in a spicy, tangy chili sauce, then usually grilled or roasted. These folks have multiple flavor profile and sides. Very clean attentive staff. Will be back!

    The food here is absolutely delicious, and the customer service is great! I've been here twice now,…read moreand both times the food has been amazing. I would definitely come back for the food and the service. However, I do have one concern that I really hope the restaurant will consider. I wish they had separate restrooms for men and women instead of having unisex restrooms. The first time I went to the restroom, there was a guy literally getting out of the restroom. When I went inside, the toilet had urine all over it. I didn't want to clean someone else's mess, so I went to the second restroom. Literally, there was another guy getting out of that restroom too, and when I went inside, he hadn't even flushed the toilet. So I had to go back to the first restroom, clean the toilet myself so I could use it, and then go back to my food. Honestly, it was very unpleasant and disturbing, and I felt nauseous afterward. I understand that restroom cleanliness depends on the people using them, but I really wish they would consider having one restroom for women and one for men. It would make the experience much more comfortable and hygienic for everyone. The food and customer service are wonderful, and I truly hope they address this issue because I would love to continue coming back.

    First time to visit Local Spot since we were in the area. Have visited their sister locations…read morenumerous times so we knew we'd be getting a great meal. The place seems to be in a community center so the area is beautiful to sit outside or walk around after your meal. The menu seems smaller but still has lots of great options. Love that they have an all day breakfast burrito on their menu. Chloe was a great server!!

    Local Table was one of those places that looked more impressive than the actual experience ended up…read morebeing. We were in Fulshear and wanted to try something different that we don't have near us, so we decided to give it a shot. The restaurant itself is beautiful on the outside with an inside that has a modern, open design. You come in and seat yourself, and while there were several tables available, the restaurant definitely wasn't empty. There were people dining in the back room and out on the porch. It was a gorgeous day, but we opted for the AC. Service wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't especially attentive. It took a while for someone to come by with menus, and throughout the meal things just seemed to move slowly despite the restaurant not appearing understaffed. I don't mind a relaxed pace, but I also don't want to spend my entire afternoon sitting indoors at some random restaurant waiting around. We started with chips and queso. The chips were decent, but the queso was extremely thin and soupy--more like cheese soup than queso--thus definitely not worth the $10 price tag. Unless you love soupy queso. Then maybe it's definitely worth the $10 to you. For lunch, my brother and mom ordered The Local Burger with Fries and added avocado, my friend ordered the Beef Tenderloin Steak Wrap with Chips, and I tried the Spicy Buffalo Pizza because honestly, every menu starts looking the same after a while, and I wanted something different. Unfortunately, there were several issues with our order. Everyone's food arrived but my brother's because our server somehow assumed mom and he were sharing one burger since they ordered the same thing. They also forgot the avocado add-on for both burgers. Mom gave my brother her basket, and they shared the burger until his came, which was about 10 to 15 minutes later. Mom liked the fries because they came out hot and weren't overly salted, but neither she nor my brother really raved about the burgers. I think by then they forgot they asked for avocado, and we weren't charged for it, but that's kind of annoying to ask for something and nothing is said...they just quietly make sure not to charge you for it. The Spicy Buffalo Pizza was probably the biggest disappointment for me. I expected a more traditional buffalo chicken pizza, but instead it was kind of a layered, heavily drizzled mess that didn't really work together. The crust also appeared to be some sort of cornmeal-style crust that wasn't my favorite and didn't hold up well under the weight of the toppings. It was the kind of slice you knew would end up on you rather than in you, so I was really careful to make sure it hit the pizza board and not me. I ended up boxing most of it for my housemate. Mark wanted dessert, and they have something called "The Spot Ice Cream Sandwich," which is a brownie or assorted cookie with vanilla ice cream and toppings. Mom asked whether he could simply order the brownie by itself, and our server Victor said he would ask, but we never actually got an answer. One thing that really annoys me at restaurants is charging $4 for fountain drinks and then not keeping them refilled. Victor did eventually ask about refills, but by then the meal was basically over. Overall, this place wasn't bad, but it also wasn't great. The atmosphere and design are probably the strongest part of the experience. I wouldn't necessarily avoid it, but I also wouldn't go out of my way to come back. What made lunch even funnier is that next door at Cross Creek Ranch, there's a hanging sign advertising an "observation deck." We had debated going before lunch but decided to eat first and then check it out afterward. Much like the restaurant itself, the concept sounded far more impressive than the actual experience. There really wasn't much to observe. I just found it amusing that both experiences ended up being equally mediocre.

    We had a surprise party set up for a friend of ours, so we had about 30 people including kids…read more Alexis our server did an excellent job on keeping track of our orders despite the amount of people. The wait time was as expected for that amount of people to come in. I had the fire roasted salmon and I loved it. It was a great contrast of differing textures and flavors. It was a lot better than I expected. The portion for me was perfect, I was full and satisfied by the end of it. They do an excellent job in trying to accommodate everyone and they made an effort to regularly check in. This place has that woody, western vibe to it. Definitely a little pricey on certain menu items but aside from that a good time overall.

    The evening started out great, but quickly went downhill. Our server, Lexus was polite, friendly,…read morehelpful, energetic and very pleasant. She took our drink orders, food orders and then everything seemed to fall apart. She returned several times, but mentioned that she was tied up handling several large drink orders and that was the last we saw of her. The food was delivered by other servers. As you can see, the fried catfish fillets were burnt on the outside, but the fish was undercooked inside and had raw (uncooked) portions inside. Not a pleasant surprise. We later learned that Lexus had left for the day and we were left on our own, so to speak. No drink refills for the nearly three hours we were there. Finally, we had to get up and find someone to help us and get our checks. When I was able to pay I requested a receipt, which I never received. Lastly, when we were leaving, someone was mopping the walkway and left puddles of water in the walk, which posed a slip hazard for our group of elderly individuals. When we told a server about the water in the walkway, she told us that she knew it was wet, because she just mopped it. Not an answer you want to hear. All in all, a very unimpressive experience.
