Restaurant Review: Local

Though she recently opened new breakfast-and-lunch-only spot Rosemont a few doors down from Local, chef/owner Tracy Miller’s original restaurant hasn’t changed much since debuting in Deep Ellum’s historic Boyd Hotel in 2003. Local still has a lounge-like vibe that feels downtown cool. Miller’s cooking was and still is an exercise in delicious simplicity. But over the past nine years, the Dallas...

The Verdict on Mi Piaci, Local, Nora, and More

D Magazine revisited Tracy Miller's nine year old Deep Ellum gem Local. Although they found "nothing revelatory or challenging", the food, including seared foie gras with housemade...

We tried this place on a Saturday night at 8pm and it wasn't very crowded (and its a small place). The vibe is very cool, like dining in London, the food was very well prepared (attention to details), and the service was excellent.

Great menu selection and delicious, well presented food and in a nice ambiance. However, waiting 30 minutes after our reservation to be seated and then having long periods waiting between courses ruined it. Our waitress never asked how our food was, if we wanted additional...

Loved our meal at this restaurant to celebrate our anniversary. We each had the chef's tasting menu paired with wine and were initially disappointed since the set menu in the restaurant was different to the one on their website. It turns out the menu is...
