    We have a Mother (in their 80s) Daughter (in their 60s) Group that went for dinner. This wasn’t our first visit and won’t be the last. We had excellent service as well as great food. What a great place to celebrate Mother’s Day!!

    The Pane bread is always a favorite. The shrimp and grits were excellent as was the shrimp and okra salad. The charcuterie board was a hit with our group as well. This restaurant is at the top of our local restaurants in the Foley, Gulf Shores, Orange Beach area.

    This is one of our favorite restaurant! We’ve never had a bad meal here. My only complaint, which is so small, is this time we were seated where I was staring at a wall. I much rather have tables were I can see the restaurant since it’s so beautiful.

    Awesome restaurant with the best food in Baldwin County! My husband had the Chilean Sea Bass stating it was perfection. I had the Tile Fish Special that was outta this world and our daughter had the Filet that was perfectly prepared. The burrita appetizer was amazing as always and the Naan Chips with the whipped Guacamole is always her favorite. She also live the dark chocolate cheesecake was the grand finale! Our favorite spot to eat and have a cocktail or two in Foley! It's definately worth the drive from both Gulf Shores and Orange Beach if you love fine food!!!

    First we went to Local and Company for Thanksgiving and were very impressed. So we went back for Easter and are so glad we did. The Easter menu coupled breakfast/brunch items with some of the restaurant’s best dinner items and of course you could order sides of buffalo cauliflower and roasted brussels sprouts. Dessert was delicious too!

    Local and company is the best restaurant in Foley. Today we were presented with the new Spring menu. Freshness rules here! That’s why they changed their menu with the seasons. I have so many favorites to list. But give it a try, you won’t be sorry.

Guests repeatedly praise the attentive service, elevated American dishes (sea bass, filet, pork chop) and a thoughtful wine and cocktail list, all served in a cozy, industrial‑chic dining room. Expect an intimate vibe, well‑plated entrees, and memorable desserts, reservations are recommended for busy nights or special occasions.

Portions are restaurant-quality, generally moderate to generous and plated for an upscale dining experience. Guests note shareable starters (pane bread, burrata, flatbread pizzas ~10"), hearty entrees like filet, sea bass and pork chop, and generous desserts. If you’re sharing, appetizers and a flatbread make a satisfying light meal; for mains plan on a full entrée per person.

Local & Company is open Monday–Friday for lunch and dinner, and Saturday for brunch and dinner. Typical posted hours are Mon–Fri 11:00 AM–9:00 PM; Saturday brunch 11:00 AM–4:00 PM and dinner 4:00 PM–9:00 PM. Guests also report special holiday service (Thanksgiving, Easter, New Year’s events); call to confirm holiday hours or changes.

Yes, the restaurant welcomes families and offers a range of seating: main dining room, cozy booths, bar seating and a private Tasting Room for groups. Guests have brought children (including requests to accommodate a child with buttered noodles) and celebrated birthdays and family occasions here. If you have mobility or accessibility needs, call ahead, some guests note gravel parking and varying table layouts.

For a lively, special-occasion vibe go on weekend evenings or holidays when the restaurant runs special menus. For a quieter meal and easier parking, try weekday lunches or early weeknights (guests report calm Mondays and good conversation). Saturday brunch is popular, so reserve ahead if you want a brunch table.

Local & Company offers a main dining room with cozy booths and tables, a full bar area and a private dining room called The Tasting Room that’s available by reservation for celebrations or meetings. Guests also mention comfortable sofa-style seating in some areas, making it flexible for intimate dinners or larger parties.

Warm, polished, and industrial‑chic, Local & Company blends an upscale yet comfortable vibe. Guests frequently mention a cozy, stylish dining room, good music, thoughtful lighting and an atmosphere suited to date nights and celebrations. Note: acoustics can be lively when full, and a few guests found some areas louder or chillier than preferred, so request seating if you have preferences.

Smart casual is the stated dress code. Guests commonly dress up for date night and special occasions, though many describe the vibe as comfortably polished, you’ll fit in with a neat casual outfit or something a bit dressier for celebrations.

Yes, the staff is generally accommodating for common requests (seating preferences, dietary notes, child meals), but experiences vary. Many guests report helpful servers and thoughtful accommodations, while a few mention the kitchen declined some side‑substitution requests. Call ahead to discuss allergies, substitutions, accessibility needs or celebration setups so the team can confirm what they can do.

Yes, families do dine here and guests often bring children for celebrations. The menu focuses on elevated American dishes rather than a dedicated kids’ menu, though staff have accommodated simple child requests (buttered noodles).

Reviews describe busy nights (Valentine’s, New Year’s Eve) where reservations were required; some guests still experienced waits. If you can’t get your desired time, call and ask about a waitlist or cancellations when booking, staff are generally helpful with timing.

Busiest: weekend evenings, holidays and special dates (Valentine’s Day, New Year’s Eve, Easter, Mother’s Day) and popular Saturday brunches. Quietest: weekday lunches, early weekday dinners and some Monday evenings, guests say these times are best for a more relaxed meal and easier parking.

For a special occasion pick a weekend evening or holiday when the kitchen runs specials and the atmosphere is lively. For a quieter experience with easier parking, choose a weekday (lunch or an early weeknight). Saturday brunch is popular, reserve if you prefer that service.
