Service was awful. We didn’t get our food for a hour and half. They didn’t even acknowledge that we had been waiting. Drinks were never refilled and food was never delivered

Went here for my birthday... It was awful. The service was terrible, the manager/owner was an ASSOLE, the food was abysmal. The chicken sandwich was burnt and then I was told I was wrong ON MY BIRTHDAY. GO ANY WHERE ELSE.

Restaurant is located in Tava’s Capitol building, which is straight ahead from the guard gate. When you head into the main building, it’s to the left. The place is beautiful! A hidden gem. Romantic but also allows kids. They have some TVs, a lot of outdoor seating with plenty of heaters. I like that the menu changes with the different seasons, a lot of different types of drink options. Local beers on draft, and a lot of CO local liquor options too. The smoke infused old fashioned (the Bonfire) is AWESOME! GF drink & food options too. Small business feel & love supporting small businesses!

Hi Ramona, (I think this is the name you made the reservation under, my apologies if this is incorrect) I'm really sorry you had a bad experience at The Local. I would like to reach out to you and ask for a little more detail about your situation so that I can potentially make it right or even ensure that future guests don't have a bad experience. My name is Sarah. I think you can respond here or call the restaurant @ 303-752-8272. Thank you for your time.

Decent food and staff. The service was a little slow and the menu seemed really limited.
The Local- DenverResponded on April 24, 2021
Hello, we're sorry that you felt like the service was a little slow. We are a new restaurant and growing pains can be real at times. If your a resident at Tava we'd love to make your experience better the next time around. Also, in regards to the feeling of a limited menu. We are a very small restaurant with a VERY small scratch kitchen. We will be updating our menu quarterly to shift with the seasons to keep things fresh. If you come back you can ask for one of the owners, Sarah or Evan.

The local just opened recently in our neighborhood and we are so excited to have such a nice spot nearby. Their happy hour martinis are delicious and the view is 10/10.

I usually don’t write reviews but we’ve been here 3 times and the food/service is consistently poor. Typically service is slow even if there’s only 3 tables of people there. This time multiple items were forgotten from our simple order. Even after the wait staff and manager followed up about forgotten drinks and food, they forgot to put the order in a second time. If you come during happy hour you will get a deal on the appetizers and drinks, otherwise the entrees are mediocre and prices are high for what you get.
