“Chef Jo and team catered our wedding at Basilica Hudson and did an absolutely incredible job. From the moment we walked in to the restaurant for our tasting, everyone made us feel extremely welcome and well taken care of, and that was before we tasted the food. Somehow every bite was better than the last- from hors d'oeuvres, to the salad course, proteins and vegetables (Chef Jo makes some of the most delicious vegetables you'll ever taste). Leading up to our wedding, working with the Local 111 team could not have been easier. With a guest list that had more than it's share of very unique dietary restrictions (vegan, vegeterian, gluten free, dairy free... the list goes on), the team were able to accommodate everyone without breaking a sweat. The food on the night of the wedding was just as, if not even more delicious than it was at the tasting. Guests during and after kept remarking about how it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. If you have a chance to go to Local 111 or work with their team to cater your next event, we couldn't recommend them more highly.”
“We don’t say this lightly—because we eat out often and have experienced some truly excellent kitchens—but this meal genuinely exceeded our expectations. It’s rare to be impressed course after course, yet here every dish managed to outshine the last. The menu reads beautifully, but what arrives at the table is even better. Meals are very creative but grounded in real culinary knowledge. Flavor combinations feel intentional rather than experimental for the sake of it, and you can tell there’s both skill and dedication behind every plate. Nothing feels rushed or careless; each element earns its place. The space itself is elegant without being overdone, comfortable, inviting, and aesthetically pleasing in a way that enhances the experience rather than distracting from it. Service is equally strong: attentive, warm, and well-paced. This is the kind of restaurant that reminds you why dining out can be so special. We’ll absolutely be back to explore more of the menu.”
“Very fresh and delicious foods We walked in without reservation on a long weekend but they were able to host us in a table. We read the most of reviews before we come in and we didn't regret a bit at the first bite of food. We had fish and chicken(fried). It has been a while that it exceed our expectation of food quality. Especially in a remote town, this kind of restaurant is hard to come by. I would rate 1000 of 100 rating for the food. Their mocktail was nice, and a local beer was surprisingly nice as well. The desert the server recommended was one of a kind of desert. (Peach with wallnut crush, wipped cream) For the service, everything was speedy and correct. Very friendly staffs. Atmosphere wise, it's also lovely and medium level of noise for the conversation. I think that keeps our convo. private. Thankn you all staff and chefs. It's been truly surprising.”
“So impressed! Chef is very talented, every bite is so memorable, there is nothing unremarkable about every dish. The cauliflower appetizer was so unique, deep fried cauliflower (but not oily at all) with crispy halumi cheese is to die for. Each of us had the pork belly, short ribs, steak and burger respectively. So so good, beyond words. Service was excellent too. Small place so making reservation ahead will help.”
“I had super high hopes and was so excited to try this restaurant after seeing the owner on beat Bobby Flay. The restaurant is super cute inside and all of the staff was really friendly and welcoming. Sadly the food was very average and underwhelming. The bread had a very strange alcohol vanilla taste. that’s the best I can describe it… lol The mixed green salad was picture perfect but tasted like grass I cut from my back yard with a hint of cilantro. If you’re going to get anything try the fried chicken! It was very flavorful and the chicken was juicy. The fish chowder was far from a chowder. More like a piece of fish in a small bed of cream sauce with uncooked celery pieces. I am beyond disappointed but you don’t know unless you try.”
