Reviews for Locale Restaurant in Closter, NJ
Octopus salad is my favorite one! So fresh and you can smell the citrus. The escargots is AMAZING, the garlic and parsley butter... made it so delicious and warm. And the tiramisu is not too sweet, it’s perfect sweetness, surprised at how good the tiramisuwas at a restaurant and not a cafe! Read more
We've been here before several times & liked it. This time we Dined on 06/21 We were a party of six & opted to sit inside as it... was a humid night. We had a reservation: they sat us in what seemed to have been a party room. All the other tables were empty &unset; there was crayons & other debris on floor from whomever was there before us. All by ourselves in this huge room, likeLepers. That I could live with but the food was way overpriced for the quality. Fried Calamari was under cooked & I m prettysure it was the bagged frozen stuff & (Greasy White & chewy). Eggplant App was Tiny & not good. They gave us one piece of coldItalian Bread Per Person. Pork Cop was not Good. Then they add 20% Gratuity ( Could not understand the Waiter & he had noPersonality). We are in this business & know Better. This Place has gone down hill. We will not go back sorry. Read more
It was nice to have a variety of delicious food. I liked the old-fashioned interior of the restaurant as well. But the... waiter's service was awkward. I ordered the wine and he didn't bring it even though all the food was served, and the onebrought later made the mistake of bringing something different from what I ordered. However, there could be mistakes like this,so I didn't mind it and ate it deliciously. Read more

Went with a couple of friends. The restaurant was warm and inviting when we first walked in. Very nice looking bar almost... vintage. The dining area had sun coming in and had a fireplace. The wait staff was very attentive. Ordered our food and it cameout quickly and piping hot. The grilled salmon was delicious. Cooked perfectly. My friends enjoyed there mushroom risotto andbranzino. No dessert this trip maybe next time. Read more
Locale had a very nice outdoor setup for dining with fans. We ordered a bottle of Riesling, it was good. The escargots was... delicious and tasty. The tuna tartare was excellent and fresh. The veal chop had cartilage and bland for my taste. The pork chopwas excellent. The chocolate lava cake was delicious and worth the calories! Service was quite poor! They are understaffed andnot attentive. Read more
Lovely Sunday lunch on the patio. The Lychee Martinis were terrific. Oysters, calamari and veal picatta the same. Solid... service. Lively crowd. And the owner saying hello and welcome to everyone. First time today. Won't be the last@ Read more
Place is over priced for what you get. Had the Chicken Milanese which had 1.5 grape tomatoes. You read that correct, 1.5. ... Also about 4 small slices of red onion and and few shreds of mozzarella. To top it off the restaurant doesn't offer an sides. For $24 I left hungry. I gave service 2 stars because my meal should've never been brought to my table. I'll never go back Read more
