We need to turn on our phone flash lights to read it. Overall a very nice experience at LOCALE. We will go again definitely 👍🏼

                                                            The torched foie was disappointing and lacked flavor. The lemon pancake was so brutal that the knife couldn’t cut through it. We had expected a pancake to be light and fluffy, but this was a complete disaster. The pork belly benedict was decent, though it didn’t measure up to the other benedict dishes served at Pur & Simple. While the service was excellent, the food quality ultimately matters most, and it fell short of expectations.

                                                            Reservation is recommended as it is very good restaurant in the community and it is always busy in the weekend.
