Had a great dinner here while staying nearby on vacation. Great food and service. Would highly recommend!
If you come through the side entrance, there's a cute gift shop you have to check out. 50 Local also had a baby name 58 Main.... Check my photos. Also, you can park right there on main street for two hours no worries. ???? The staff was pleasant and seemedlike they were happy to be there. Apparently the owners must be treating the employees right. This restaurant needs to be onyour go-to list. This place was poppin ????. Blake was our server and he took care of us. I can tell you that servers areexceptional when they hear their name vs "excuse me, excuse me." They know exactly where to turn when they hear their name. Thefood and ambiance was excellent. Reservations are required. Go at 5p and have the place to yourself. Get the salad with thepoachds egg on top. Perfect for the light eater or hot summer night. The crab ???? cakes are served on a thick wooden paddlewith spicy mayo and pickled onions. The cake itself is served as a meatball shape not as a cake/paddy. I had the mussel frites(that means fries served on top of the mussels) - ask for them on the side. ??????? If you're a bourbon drinker, and am oldfashioned doesn't tempt you, and you feeling like you had a donkey ???? kind of day? Ask for a mule, they'll make you one. Righton. The serve fresh hot bread out of the oven (at least at 5p they do) and filtered water for the table. Read more
This place never disappoints. Cozy vibe verging on speakeasy. Homemade bread is excellent and mocktails/cocktails are sublime.... Local ingredients crafted with obvious care. A little on the pricier side but so worth it! The crab cake was the best I’d everhad- packed with real crabmeat, piping hot and the blend of spice with the remoulade was perfection. Loved it!

I was looking forward to eating at 50 Local for the first time, and had made a reservation a month in advance, but as I ate my... meal I was very disappointed and saddened. I made a reservation for, and was seated at, 6:30, but my meal did not come until8:00. Including entrees and desert, I was unable to get my check until 9:00. I had the Rigatoni Bolognese, which was so acidicand smelly it was practice inedible. There was one entirely solid chunk of ground meat on the top, and the few prices of pastain the dish were totally over cooked and falling apart. After finishing my entree the entire restaurant was almost empty, andstill my desert took half an hour, despite only being sorbet. As I ate dessert I could hear the staff seated at the bar laughingat and making fun of my table, as I had previously asked where the desert was since it had taken so long. Pictured below is thelavender-elderberry sorbet, which was a disappointing and disgusting end to a disappointing and frustrating three hour dinner. Read more
Overall experience was excellent. Would definitely go back. Menu was a little different on line vs when we went so take heed.... Good variety of local beers. Bread was homemade and excellent-crust was not hard which was nice. We did have to ask for it asopposed to it being automatically brought to us like at other tables. Crab cake, yes just one, was great according to the personwho ate it. Spicy aioli sauce lived up to its name. Arugula salad was excellent as well. Haddock was very tasty but the frieswith the fish n chips were cold. Service was attentive n friendly. Read more
Excellent food and service. We did have to wait for a table even with a reservation, and the food/drinks were delayed because... they were so busy. It's a very small place with high demand - but the wait was totally worth it, and our server was verycommunicative (the complimentary fresh bread to thank us for our patience didn't hurt either). They have a daily menu anddelicious craft cocktails. I had the braised short rib over homemade pasta - a spiritual experience. Highly recommend savingroom for dessert. Will definitely be back!
