  No good idea goes unexploited. If you prefer trendy to just good, well prepared food this could be the place for you. Locally sourced food is a fine idea and a number of other Rhinebeck restaurants source as much of their menu locally as possible, and do it without having to shout it from the roof tops. And then they know how to cook it.
  My wife had the dinner salad which may have been local but certainly wasn't fresh. The dressing not so good. I had the duck, dry, tasteless - I've had better poultry at Popeye's.
  For good local food, prepared by chefs serious about their craft and not just trying to cash in on a fad, try Calico or Petit Bistro or Gigi's or Market Street.

  The Rhinebeck area is blessed with fabulous restaurants in a small area. But The Local is STILL a standout. The ambience, food, cocktails. and service are simply world class. If the chef ONLY knew how to prepare the fried oysters with truffle dressing, he would still be worthy of a James Beard award--quite simply one of the best things I've ever eaten. The Local is bound to become...well...our local.
