Locavore

We came in as a family of 3 for brunch on a Saturday soon after they opened. The place is quaint and nicely setup/decorated. The brunch menu has a nice assortment of delicious items to choose from. They also have a full brunch cocktail list (Bloody Mary, Mimosa, etc). I was interested in a Bloody Mary, but service seemed to be a little amiss while we were there as the bartender wasn’t there and the server wasn’t able to tell us about the Bloody Mary (do they make their own mix, description, etc), so we just opted for water with brunch. The brunch items we got were all amazing! Their sausage gravy is made with chorizo, which adds a very nice, smokey touch to the typical biscuits and gravy and it came out with a pair of perfectly poached eggs. Their burger was beautiful and perfectly

Great high end addition to downtown. Note: I recommend going Sun-Thu to take advantage of the prix fixe option (otherwise this place can get pricey fast). Visited with a friend and we both went with the prix fixe option ($48 for any starter, entree, and dessert) which I appreciate being open to the whole menu rather than limited selection. Our waitress was an absolute joy, she made recommendations and was a great chat throughout the visit. The food came out with reasonable spacing between dishes and was plated beautifully. The beef skewers with phenomenal and my friend loooooved the potato soup. The fish was great (though the skin was maybe a little scorched) and the petite fillets looked impeccable. I admittedly did not like the peppercorn pavlova but my friend liked it so much we swapp

Very disappointing dining experience. The staff was not welcoming and the service was incredibly slow. Once I finally received my meal I got barely 1 piece of shriveled up broccolini (zoom in on photo). The waitstaff seemed stressed out. We could not get water or drink refills to save our lives. It is very crammed and my chair was getting bumped into the whole time. Overall the food was just ok. Very expensive for a small portion. My friend got a burger and was not offered ketchup and the waiter never checked on us so she never got an opportunity to ask for it. It’s just a strange place.

We went here for the first time for lunch and were really disappointed. We were the only customers at the time, so we expected better service. The chicken sandwich I ordered was burnt and tasted burnt as well. Unfortunately, the waitress never checked in to ask how our food was. We also had our toddler with us and asked for a high chair, but it was filthy and clearly hadn’t been cleaned—there were crumbs all over it. To make matters worse, a delivery person who walked into the kitchen area accidentally bumped into our toddler’s high chair. Thankfully it wasn’t hard enough to knock it over, but it was still very concerning.

My wife & I dined at Locavore, for the first time, this evening. We did make a reservation a couple weeks in advance. It was cold enough that we hesitated leaving home to dine out, but it turned out to be well worth it! We were promptly seated at 6:00 p.m and the dining room was already over half full. We had simple beverages, choosing to focus on our meal. We both began with potato-leek soup, which was savory, creamy, and very comforting. Afterward my wife had roasted butternut squash, with farro, and a romanesca sauce. My wife often prefers vegetables only, and she found it delicious. I had a taste and would gladly order it myself. I ordered Chesapeake Black Sea Bass on Spaghetti Squash w/wilted green in a green curry coconut broth. It was phenomenal! What struck me about both entrées is
