We were super excited to try the Local Tampa, their menu looked amazing. So we make a reservation and arrive. The hostess stops us at the door and points to a piece of paper on the counter. No greeting. Just "we aren't doing the menu tonight, there is only one option; salad, steak, dessert, no substitutions and it's $40." Okay? The place looks nice enough, I've always heard the food is great, lets do it. The hostess seems surprised we would like a seat. We don't even mention the reservation, the place is pretty empty and its a small place, maybe 20 tables, tops. We take a seat and she asked how we would like our steaks and leaves. We get a salad, its romaine with Cesar dressing (like from a bag) nothing impressive. Our steaks arrive with shrimp skewer on top. The shrimp is raw... like not a little... like someone seared it for 10 seconds and covered them in blackening seasoning and served it. Since we didn't really have a waiter/waitress tending to us. We eventually had to raise our hand to have someone come over to take it back. The wait staff seemed stressed and annoyed. There was a young man who worked there aggressively running back and forth and at some point angrily yelled across the restaurant to a waitress. We watched 2 couples come in, take a seat and after being ignored for too long, just get up and leave. It was awkward. The TVs were playing basket ball games and the one near the bar just kept advertising for divorce lawyers (on Valentines Day, we had a laugh about it). Anyways, I was super excited about trying this place but I won't be back. It was just weird. The staff wasn't overworked and annoyed, the kitchen was dishing out raw shrimp and the atmosphere had great potential, but it was just ruined. We left around 9. There was one other table with people at it. I feel like maybe everyone else in the area knew something I didn't. Pass.
