My friends and I had dinner at The Local. We were very pleased with the food and cocktails. Chad was our waiter and he was great. Very attentive. The location was great as it was in walking distance to our rental as well as walkable to the Downtown Mall area.

Lunch is always an excellent experience, great choices and a quiet atmosphere. Service is always very good. And a plus at lunch is that parking is available. Highly recommended Forked on Main.

We had the pleasure of enjoying an afternoon at Barboursville Vineyard's tasting room followed by an amazing dinner at Palladio. Everything was absolutely perfect . Our dinners were perfect, the suggested wine pairings were spot on, and the service couldn't have been better. If you're in the area you should absolutely put Palladio on your shortlist and if you're further away like we are it's worth the trip. Love this place!
