I recently had dinner at Locale and it was AMAZING from start to finish, the service, the drinks, and the food. My family and I had a variety of dishes on their menu, and it was ALL delicious. We will definitely be returning soon!

Food is average across the board. Nothing remarkable, nothing terrible.Service was amicable but definitely not what I would call highly skilled. That works at a diner but not at a place that's competing with the likes of Sear etc.Lastly they don't free pour drinks. That can fly at a chain restaurant in Wisconsin but not in Bergen County. The liquor selection is good but when the jigger is being short poured and you're charging a premium it's a bad combo!!!

We were in the area on business and stopped in as it was just opening for the day. The waiter and hostess were very welcoming and the food was fresh and excellent. The waiter brought out some warm, fresh baked bread with tapenade and a bean spread to start. We then ordered some specials - mushroom raviolis in a truffle cream and saffron risotto with scallops and clams. Delicious!

I'm not a fan of leaving bad or mediocre reviews so please read this entire piece to understand why I'm giving this place two stars. We had dinner here for Thanksgiving and it was great. Food and service. Wonderful. Apparently the place underwent a management change in December and this weekend (Feb 10th) saw a "soft opening." They really should have been better prepared. Things started out rough when the woman who checks people in wasn't there. Turns out she was in the toilet with no back up at the height of reservation times (6:30). Following a 10 minute wait and more and more people coming in just standing there, we were seated and waited another 15 minutes for a wine list, which we were told "was being printed!" Funny thing is, a pile of papers with the list on them was right at the front while we were waiting for the toilet woman. Anyway, ordered a burrata starter and entrees. Waited a half hour and were told they didnt have any prosciutto (which was part of the burrata dish) and we could wait or just have the entrees! We opted for just the entrees but somehow the burrata came with some other type of ham. (No charge for this). The entrees were delish. Then we ordered tiramisu for dessert and after maybe 7 minutes were told they didn't have any! Why is it on the menu? Full disclosure, we didnt get charged for the starter nor the dessert and they were very apologetic saying this was the soft opening. I'm not sure where things were going wrong behind the scenes, but it seems to me the new management needs to get a lot more involved in the day-to-day business or this place is going to fold. And it's too bad because the food really was great and this would be a place we could go to regularly. But not until they get things ironed out. As of now, I couldn't imagine going here for Valentine's Day. In good faith, I cannot recommend Locale until they get their act together.

Had a delicious meal at Locale last night. Caesar salad and Branzino were both well prepared. Everyone at table enjoyed their meals. Service was great and the owner came over to introduce himself as well as give us a dessert on the house. Will be back

Bad service bad food, would not recommend this place at all. Super slow and forgetful staff. Took 40 mins just to get our drinks. And not everyone got their drinks. Had to repeatedly ask for silverware and the drinks that they forgot to bring. Food was overcooked and bland. Took over 30 mins just to get our bill. Which was wrong! They added on things to our bill that should not have been there. They had a DJ there and I get it it was New Year's Eve. But they turned a restaurant into a makeshift club and made it impossible to enjoy a meal with family.

New Year's Eve so we got an early reservation, upon being seated we were told to order quickly as they have a busy night ahead , We ordered our food , and had a drink , we had to draw the attention of the waiter to get another drink before dinner came out, Food came out over done and dry Very disappointing as we have been there on several occasions and was not at all like this,

First time back in a few years after I moved away. The restaurant had recently been sold and just reopened Christmas weekend. The owner Mike is very nice. When we had an issue with our dinner he went out of his way to make it right for us. I wish him the best of luck, hopefully he will iron out the kinks. Its to bad he couldn't keep the old staff. Give it a try

Service was awful, no one seemed to know what they were doing. Granted, this was Christmas Eve, and I'm sure the day/night was busy and long. However, the restaurant should not seat an amount of people they can not support. This is also the second time I've had to send food back- once, salmon was not cooked fully, and this time, pork was not cooked fully

I am never one to share my horrible experiences at restaurants… I just never return. But this specific restaurant made me violently ill. I’ll spare you the details but it was not pretty. I came for a work party with friends, meaning it was paid for. They ordered shrimp cocktail specifically among other appetizers. I love seafood so I was happy to pick at their options. I talk about the shrimp cocktail specifically because to my knowledge fresh seafood shouldn’t smell like fish. These shrimp did. And very foul at that. I look a bite and swallowed it to not be rude but instantly regretted it. It was very chewy & tasted almost like it was a re-used piece of shrimp. Very colorless & old-tasting. My dinner wasn’t terrible. Drinks were okay. Water was definitely tap. For such prices, I expected a whole lot better.

We had a lovely family dinner on a quiet Saturday evening. They sat us at a cozy corner table, and let us sit and talk long after our mail was finished. Our waiter was outstanding, and helped us navigate the menu for gluten-free options. The food was delicious, and the Chianti perfect!

We all enjoyed dinner at Locale. Food and service were great. In the past the restaurant was noisier with both rooms full of diners. Only one room was in use. I hope business picks up. I will definitely return.
