    Thanksgiving eve meal to go! Delicious spaghetti Os and meatballs.
    Carrie Neal W.

    Spontaneous and brilliant decision to get Thgvg eve to go! I happened across the Insta post detailing the night's meal. It was all terrific, so a few notes: The salad dressing is a yummy and tangy vinaigrette, with plenty leftover. The fancy spaghettio-s were fun and paired perfectly with the well seasoned meatballs. Way too much for just two so we had our first leftover lunch today! We adore the tiramisu at MTH and figured it might be the same recipe here, and it delivered; it was also perfect to finish late night. Local Three never disappoints!

    Stopped by for a pre-dinner drink before going to Arbitrage room. I enjoyed a mocktail with apple syrup made in-house. It was really delicious and the flavors were vivid. I hope to come one-day for their brunch buffet. I was also able to observe their infamous bourbon selection. This is definitely on my list of spots to come visit once dry January ends.

    Yummy!

    Sunday Brunch Review!! Would give more stars if I could! My hubby and I made a reservation at 10:15 and were greeted by Malachi, who gave us all the deets about their brunch. Fantastic drink offerings but we opted for tea. The absolutely COOLEST THING about this brunch is that patrons are invited to the kitchen to fill up their plates. The entire staff from the hosts to the cooks were super upbeat and fun. Now the yummy stuff.... So many options for all palates. We enjoyed every bit of it... vanilla scones, fruit/ cream, quiche, French toast, roasted potatoes, shrimp and grits, Mac n Cheese, brisket quesadillas, mini sliders. Dessert table had mini cupcakes and tarts, but we were stuffed! Definitely returning to Local Three Kitchen for brunch again!

    I was initially hesitant about coming here. I'm not sure why. But it was a wonderful experience. The restaurant's decor was sort of modern rustic (?) but classy. Our waitress (Melissa) was so sweet, just attentive enough and helped us with more ideas for experiencing the area. The concept was unique to me--buffet offerings are laid out in one of their kitchens (they have 2). The food choices were a mix of tradition brunch (pastries, breakfast meats, and scrambled eggs) and savory items (jambalaya grits, ribs, brisket quesadillas). I tried almost everything and enjoyed it all, but especially the croissants (3 types), as they were incredibly flaky. The waitress told us that they are made in house by their own pastry chef. If they have their mocha cheesecake (and u like cheesecake), save some room because these are divine, so smooth and just enough sweetness. Definitely a place to try, although I feel it doesn't quite warrant the $50 per person (adult) price.

    I was thrilled to hear that Local Three was still around since my initial visit around 10 years ago. I was even more excited about the fact that they were still doing their unique brunch buffet in which patrons could walk through the kitchen and just pull small plates off the pass. It was such a fun experience that I really wanted to revisit. The restaurant was as I remembered it - sleek and rustic with a real Southern vibe. The service was friendly and engaging. However, I spent little time focusing on the staff or décor, because I could not wait to get into the kitchen and grab some food. There were just so many items, all broken into "Starter", "Breakfast", and "Lunch" portions of the menu. A few of my favorites were the Smoked Salmon Toast, Buttermilk Biscuits with Peach Jam, Patatas Bravas, Shrimp and Grits, Chilaquiles, and Collard Greens. After stuffing ourselves on several plates from the kitchen, we saved room to try some tarts off a dessert table that was located next to the host stand. The small, delicious bites were all we could handle by that point, but they were still much appreciated. The brunch buffet at Local Three was really like no other in the way the food was acquired by the diners and in the gourmet quality of the menu items. I highly recommend this experience!

    Honestly one of the best meals my husband and I have had. Our waiter Alvin and all of the staff were amazing! Alvin spoke about the menu with pride and has great recommendations. You'll have a great meal if he's your waiter. Favorite food: The hot honey wings...omg. Best wings/wing sauce I've ever had. The chef was so nice to send us home with some extra sauce. Kid friendly!! We brought our 2yo and our 7 month old and everyone was welcoming to them. The kids meals are some of the best we've had too. Our daughter got kids chicken tenders and asked for a second plate. That never happens... If we lived in the area we would be regulars. You gotta check this place out!

    I was tempted to do. TikTok about this place but decided against it. I don't want to ruin the mystery of this hidden gem! Local Three is tucked away on the first floor of The Forum at West Paces. It's a charming live/work neighborhood that you'd have to know how to get the there and where to go. This was a suggestion from a former colleague to meet up for drinks and dinner. He likes it for the extensive bourbon selection. Their menu is simple and seems seasonal based on market availability. That evening were NJ oysters. We skipped that ordered The McDowell. Yes, named after Coming To America the movie! We started with the sampler charcuterie board. It left a lot to be desired. To drink, I ordered a whisky sour to sip. It was light, sweet and boozy. Overall, great ambiance and service was attentive, personable and easy. I'd go back to try other menu items and tasty drinks.

    The interior had a laidback but upscale feel. The service was amazing - we got great recommendations from our waitress and she was very attentive. And the food was delicious, minus The Apple dessert which we had higher expectations for. Cocktails were also solid, strong and with complex profiles.

    Dusted Venison.  What a treat.

    Wow. I have never had a pork chop that was so good. Absolutely amazing. Great flavor, moist, excellent flavor. Just a bit of bite. What a wonderful meal. Also had the Old Fashioned and a C.R.E.A M. Wonderful, flavors. Great service. First time here - will definitely return...

    We have been going to Local Three for many years and it had become our go-to Sunday brunch spot until Covid hit. The service is excellent, with great people and nice conversations. We weren't big into Southern cooking until finding Local 3, and now we're hooked! Outdoor seating is our preference as it can get too loud inside (although they've put noise panels that helped a lot). We enjoy taking a stroll around the gardens after a full meal, and it makes it for a perfect Sunday after church. Highly recommend!

    How much is the brunch buffet now per person? Looks like it's changed from what's listed in the 'About' section.…

    $25.93 for adults. It's on their website under brunch menu.

    We have one vegan in our group coming in for brunch buffet..is there another menu she can order from?

    Currently there is no brunch buffet, and some menu items can be adapted for vegan. I'm sure the chef would accommodate her.

    What is the dress code?

Food: 5/5 We decided to try a leisurely lunch. The menu is not large, but it has enough variety to be interesting. Everything we tried was delicious. The smoked salmon appetizer portion was large, but the best part was the great flavor. I can see why this choice has been on the menu for years. The Vidalia onion soup will be a surprise for the non-Georgians who expect it to be similar to a savory beef broth like French onion soup. Georgia's onions from the Vidalia area are sweet and tasty enough to carry the soup without the help of a meat broth and the green pesto sauce offers a nice additional touch. The salmon on fresh salad was done perfectly. The panka-crusted cod with mashed potatoes and spinach was outstanding. Both were seasoned so lightly that the true flavors shone through. The portions were generous enough that dessert at the time would have been too much, but others can do as we did and take home one of the dessert choices. Next time we plan to try their sandwiches which looked yummy at other tables. Service : 5/5 Service was excellent from the pleasant greeting, through the entire meal. Our server, Clayton, couldn't have been more helpful with the menu, as well as being very efficient and amiable. He made sure our food was served promptly and our beverages glasses were full, and our requests were met quickly. Facility: The facility lends itself to the riverside experience from the canoe in the entryway ceiling to the flowers and bird feeders just beyond the patio tables. The white tablecloth ambiance informs you that this isn't a fast-food experience. There are tents set aside in a more private are of the garden as a lovely venue for special events Location : This isn't a quick roadside stop next to a 6-lane highway. Even though the restaurant is convenient to dine in an Atlanta suburb, the roads to the restaurant wind and meander for a short distance through one of the prettiest neighborhoods, with a canopy of large old trees, with lovely fences, hedges, and gates lining the road. There is courteous valet parking at the front door. The restaurant is not inexpensive but it is well worth the prices paid, in our opinion.

The hostess was welcoming, and we enjoyed waiting by the lake before being seated. When our table turned out to be directly under a cold air vent, the staff happily moved us to a more comfortable spot. The onion soup wasn't what we expected based on the menu description, and my salmon arrived much rarer than anticipated. After sending it back, it was cooked perfectly, though the flavor was just okay. My husband loved his entrée, and the complimentary birthday dessert was a thoughtful touch. Despite a couple of hiccups, the beautiful atmosphere and attentive service made for an enjoyable evening. I'd definitely return and try something different next time.

They're light but really well balanced in their flavors. We had called ahead of time and were told the place closed at 10 PM but at 9:30, they already turned on the lights and were getting people to leave. We felt rushed out of there which wasn't fun especially since we called ahead. Also, there were fruit flies all over the place and in our faces.

The food was excellent, the drinks were on point, and our waitress did an awesome job handling such a large party. She stayed on top of everything and made sure we were taken care of all night. After dinner, we decided to check out the speakeasy through the freezer door--Eleanor's--and unfortunately, that's where the experience took a turn. The atmosphere itself was nice--semi-dark with a cool concept--but it could definitely lean more into a darker, more immersive speakeasy vibe. The bigger issue, though, was the service. It was night and day compared to upstairs. The waitress came across as rude and unwelcoming from the start. A few of us sat down in a small corner area with an L-shaped bench and some extra chairs we had to pull over ourselves. Obviously, with 12 people, there was no way we were all fitting there, yet she insisted she wouldn't take any drink orders until everyone was seated. That made no sense, especially since there was standing room and even a bar-height table available. To make matters worse, there was zero acknowledgment of the birthday--not even a simple "happy birthday," which felt like a missed opportunity given the occasion. When we asked about Fireball shots, the response was a blunt "um, no," followed by "you can have water," as she started filling glasses. That pretty much summed up the vibe we got. Not sure if this is typical service down there or just an off night, but it was enough to make us decide we wouldn't come back to the speakeasy. Bottom line: If you're in the area, definitely check out Muss & Turner's for dinner--it's worth it. But I'd skip Eleanor's and save your time and money.

The atmosphere is always warm and inviting, and everything runs so smoothly. You can truly tell that the staff enjoys what they do because everyone always has a smile on their face, which makes such a difference. I especially want to recognize Kimmy, the bartender. She is an absolute breath of fresh air. Her attention to detail and genuine care for her guests are exceptional. I hadn't been in for a while because I was recovering from surgery, and the first thing she did was tell me how happy she was to see me and ask if everything was okay. That simple act of kindness meant more than she probably realizes. As a bartender myself, I'm usually the one giving that level of hospitality to others. To receive that same thoughtfulness in return was incredibly touching. Kimmy made me feel genuinely welcomed and valued, and that's something you can't teach--it's who she is.

    Title: Lost a Loyal Customer -- Management Failed…read more I'll start by saying I previously gave this location a 5-star review because I genuinely loved it. That review still stands for what it was -- but this is about what happened next. About 3-4 months ago, I stopped in after work wearing medical scrubs and clogs. The hostess turned me away at the door, citing what she called a dress code. Fine -- except I could clearly see guests already seated inside wearing sandals. When I asked to speak with a manager, I was told it was a "strict policy" and offered a to-go order instead. No explanation for the double standard. No accountability. Just a dismissal. I've been coming here for years and never had an issue with my work attire. And I've since learned I'm not alone -- friends have described similar experiences at this location. I don't throw around the word "profiling" lightly. But when enforcement is this inconsistent, it's hard to arrive at any other conclusion. The food is good. The servers have always been great. But management completely dropped the ball, and that's enough for me to walk away for good.
