Local 111

Very fresh and delicious foods We walked in without reservation on a long weekend but they were able to host us in a table. We read the most of reviews before we come in and we didn't regret a bit at the first bite of food. We had fish and chicken(fried). It has been a while that it exceed our expectation of food quality. Especially in a remote town, this kind of restaurant is hard to come by. I would rate 1000 of 100 rating for the food. Their mocktail was nice, and a local beer was surprisingly nice as well. The desert the server recommended was one of a kind of desert. (Peach with wallnut crush, wipped cream) For the service, everything was speedy and correct. Very friendly staffs. Atmosphere wise, it's also lovely and medium level of noise for the conversation. I think that keeps our convo. private. Thankn you all staff and chefs. It's been truly surprising.

We cannot say enough amazing things about Chef Jo and her team. From the very first meeting, she took the time to truly get to know us, our story, our favorite foods, and where we got engaged. She crafted a menu that felt deeply personal and completely unforgettable. Our tasting was incredible, and in the most thoughtful gesture, she surprised us with a bottle of French wine after hearing our proposal story. It is moments like that that show how much she genuinely cares about her couples. Chef Jo is wonderfully down to earth, but her food is anything but ordinary. Every dish strikes the perfect balance: elevated enough to impress our foodie guests, yet familiar and comforting for those with simpler palates. It is rare to find someone who can do both so effortlessly. Truly a 10 out of 10 experience. If you are looking for a caterer who brings heart, creativity, and unbelievable flavor to your wedding, look no further than Chef Jo.

Beautiful small unique restaurant. Seasonal ingredients. Like a little jewel box of precious gems!

I had super high hopes and was so excited to try this restaurant after seeing the owner on beat Bobby Flay. The restaurant is super cute inside and all of the staff was really friendly and welcoming. Sadly the food was very average and underwhelming. The bread had a very strange alcohol vanilla taste. that’s the best I can describe it… lol The mixed green salad was picture perfect but tasted like grass I cut from my back yard with a hint of cilantro. If you’re going to get anything try the fried chicken! It was very flavorful and the chicken was juicy. The fish chowder was far from a chowder. More like a piece of fish in a small bed of cream sauce with uncooked celery pieces. I am beyond disappointed but you don’t know unless you try.

Tourist trap!!!! Avoid! The experience can be summed up in three words: overpriced, mediocre, and frustrating. The food is lackluster at best, and the mandatory 20% service tip feels like a slap in the face when you receive such poor service. If you’re considering dining here, I urge you to think twice. This place is nothing more than a tourist trap, riding on hype that likely comes from paid publicity!! How did they buy so much publicity?! I question if this restaurant is paying for all the articles. Appetizers: A joke! Bad! The appetizer was a staggering $18 for what amounted to a few wilted lettuce leaves topped with a bland tomato and pepper spread that you could easily find in any supermarket. Charging that much for such a meager offering is nothing short of a joke. Main Courses: Barely Satisfying! The main courses are equally disappointing. * Fried Chicken: What was advertised as fried chicken turned out to be a dry, breaded cutlet and NOT a juice chicken you would expect. The breading fell off with every bite, and the dish lacked any accompanying sides, save for a sprinkle of cabbage and a watery cauliflower sauce that was misleadingly labeled as "cauliflower cream." * Short Rib: The short rib was a small portion of decent quality meat, but it was served with an uninspired mix of corn and cheese, topped with a bit of purple cabbage. The limited menu left us feeling unsatisfied; if we hadn’t ordered the bread, we would have left hungry. Ironically, the bread was the best item we encountered, but at $8, you can find equally delightful options at a local bakery without the accompanying disappointment of the rest of the meal. Desserts: A Major Disappointment The desserts were perhaps the most egregious part of the meal: * $14 Peanut Butter "Mousse": This was far from a mousse; it was simply peanut butter at the bottom of a bowl, topped with peanuts and a few preserved strawberries. It resembled a poor rendition of peanut butter and jelly without the bread. * $14 Flourless Chocolate Cake: This was not the high-end dessert you might expect from a reputable restaurant. It tasted like a frozen chocolate block with no texture or flavor whatsoever. It was an embarrassment to the culinary world. Coffee: NO! They do not have an expresso machine! Let down!!!!! Service: Inattentive and Uninformed The service was another low point. Our waitress was not only inattentive but also completely unfamiliar with the menu. Despite my husband's attempts to give her the benefit of the doubt, it was clear that her disinterest and bad attitude were not due to inexperience. With a mandatory 20% tip, there seems to be little incentive for her to improve. It raises an important question: how can a restaurant justify keeping such a poor employee when they are rewarded regardless of their performance? In summary, this restaurant is a perfect example of paid PR over substance. If you value your dining experience, I strongly recommend steering clear of this establishment. There are far better options out there that won’t leave you feeling cheated!

So impressed! Chef is very talented, every bite is so memorable, there is nothing unremarkable about every dish. The cauliflower appetizer was so unique, deep fried cauliflower (but not oily at all) with crispy halumi cheese is to die for. Each of us had the pork belly, short ribs, steak and burger respectively. So so good, beyond words. Service was excellent too. Small place so making reservation ahead will help.

Working with Local 111 for our wedding was not only a seamless experience but an unbelievable one. This is NOT your ordinary wedding catering. First, we filled out a questionnaire talking about our favorite foods, cuisines, restaurants, etc. and Jo and her team built our menu from that. Once we decided on everything, we got to go to the restaurant for our tasting, which was such an unreal experience. Jo was wonderful - knew exactly what our feedback was even if we didn't know how to vocalize it. When our wedding came, we had SO many people come up to us saying how unreal the food was. One NYC foodie friend said the fried chicken was one of the best things she's eaten in her life. Also, the fact they can cater to any dietary restrictions, which our guests had plenty of made our lives SO much easier. Throughout the process Jenna was phenomenal to work with - always quick to respond and helpful with anything we needed. We feel so grateful for the whole team not only for being fabulous partners and chefs but for making this a truly fun and creative process. It's pretty rare that you get to customize your wedding menu to be ENTIRELY what you want and with Local 111 you get to do just that.

My daughter had Local 111 cater her wedding at the Basilica in Hudson NY a couple weeks ago. I can't say enough how delicious every part of the food choice were - from the cocktail party appetizers all the way through the entire meal. So many people - during the wedding and after - told me they thought the food was some of the best they have had at a wedding reception. I would recommend Local 111 as a caterer anytime to anyone. The people, service, presentation and food were A+. Thank you! Scott (Dad of the Bride)

Happiness is when expectations exceed reality. We were on our way North, out of The City and my hosts agreed that we should forget about making dinner an go eat here on our way to their house. They said it was good, that it had a very creative woman-chef who had been doing 'farm-to table' for a while and that it was relaxed, unpretentious and excellent. Hey! I was going along for the ride. We split a magical cauliflower dish and an oyster mushroom masterpiece for apps followed by a soft-shell crab special, a melted cheese roll/sandwich thing and a lamb meatball in OMG sauce as main courses. The flavor/spice combinations (esp. the lamb) were unique and quality was exceptional and just Wow! The wine list was small but had a super-reasonable Pinot Noir from Bourgogne that we had no trouble finishing. Far off the beaten path, in this small town in the Hudson River Valley, I was expecting good and I found dinning happiness.

Just jarred my memory watching Chopped & Local 111 chef Jo. Traveled the Taconic State Parkway for close to 50 years. Decided to make a stop at Local 111 since I was not about to make it to Chief Martindale Diner or CIA for dinner. It's a few mile drive off of the exit. Ok, entered, the place, it looked busy, stopped and waited to be seated - 15 minutes, no one came to acknowledge me and all wait staff saw me, they just chatted with friends. I was about to leave when someone came up and seated me. Whatever I ordered was not memorable. Add insult to injury, there was a 20% gratuity add to the bill + a $3+ service charge. This was pre COVID. Have not been there since. This may be a go to place for Philmont/Austerlitz but not worth a more then a 5 minute drive Gratuity is discretional, not your demand, pay your staff accordingly, there will be no need for gratuities Don't bother, it's not worth the two or three mile drive off the exit

5:30 is way too late for dinner. The 20% automatic gratuity added no matter if your a party of 2 or more and then asking for more is simply egregious .

Everything about this restaurant is top notch. Probably the best meal we have ever had. The service was excellent and a great setting

Excellent food and service. Perfect for special occasions. Easy parking. A bit pricey.

Consistently good. Creative chef, very nice ambiance and welcoming service staff. We don't get there often enough but enjoy the food and experience each and every time.

We were excited to learn that a "celebrity" chef was in the area. We made a reservation that day and the person said she could "fit us in last minute". We arrived to a basicallly empty restaurant which set the tone for a pretentious meal service. The staff was pushy and did not explain the dishes well. The attempts to upswell and look down on us where unapologetic. Menu is limited at best. Food is overly seasoned and excessively rich. Meat was fatty and vegetables appeared as garnish. Bread is an appetizer provided at a cost. Coffee was poor. Overall, we are not likely to return unless the menu is still overhauled!

We were looking for a spot not far off the highway after a trip to Williams College from Brooklyn to see our son play baseball (for Hamilton--we won!). A quick Yelp search revealed this place, although the location (small village of Philmont) seemed unlikely for a really good restaurant. We were proven wrong! This place is EXCELLENT. The look is rather modern warehouse meets bar in an old fire/EMT building, perhaps. Simple, not fussy, but still cool. The menu is short ( a great sign) and fresh. The cocktails were tasty and went down (too) easily. We had the fresh made bread (outstanding) and chicory salad to start (insanely fresh, maybe there's a garden outback?) and perfectly seasoned. I had the fish if the day (sea bass with skin on) which was crispy and piping hot with a beautiful seasonal slaw type of topping with fresh herbs and hazelnuts as well as sweet potato and a creamy sauce. I basically licked the plate. My husband had the rabbit meatballs which he loved but could have been a bit hotter. We then shared the carrot cake which was moist and yummy and came with a gelato. Also, their coffee was awesome--a rare find in my book. But their service was perhaps the best part of the evening still. The wait staff were friendly, helpful, good humored, and interested in us without being intrusive. Saving this place for the next time we're in the area--you should, too!

this place is soooo underrated. is it trendy? no. is it "instagramable?" no. that's why i love it. it's all about the food and the food is f*ing amazing. can't wait to come back.

Amazing meal. We got stranded and the chef even drove us back to our Airbnb! What an amazing restaurant.

Originators of the Hudson Valley farm to table trend with a menu that's shifts and brings best seasons have to offer from local area farms. Warm vibes and good people too.

Incredible! I eat here every time I come upstate, and am always blown away by the quality. The menu and service would feel right at home at a NYC Michelin recommended restaurant. The chef has high standards for what makes it onto the menu and for what comes out of the kitchen. The menu rotates with food that's in season so every time I visit I can try some quality food that I haven't had there before. It's incredibly difficult (for me anyway) to find a place that comes close to the caliber of this place when you're so far away from major cities, which is a shame because places like this have great access to local farms and quality ingredients.

Amazing food and super cozy atmosphere. We loved absolutely everything. The flavors of the food combinations were perfection. We will definitely be back.

Great food. Nice atmosphere. Definitely not "just another" restaurant. My only complaint would be that my date and I made a reservation but were told upon arrival that all the outdoor seating was reserved for another party. Since I didn't specifically say I wanted to sit outside I accepted the responsibility and still enjoyed my meal from indoors, albeit a little apprehensive in COVID times, but the outdoor tables remained empty all night! Muap. So other than not sitting where we wanted, it was a lovely spot and we'll be back!

Great food !!! Basmati Crunch Salad is fantastic . Cozy place on a tinny Village of Philmont . Friendly staff , nice ambience . Definitely worth a drive .

Stopped in spontaneously while returning home on the Taconic parkway Fantastic meal with great service Great menu with very original choices

Two stars because the food was okay. My wife enjoyed her fish of the day, which was a halibut. But here's the issue - I ended up paying 68% tip. I normally tip between 22-25% but at Local 111 they offer a disclaimer that to ensure a fair wage for their workers they charge 20% on top of the bill. When my bill came I noticed there was also a suggested tip area of 20-25%. When we inquired as to what the 20% added to our bill was if not gratuity we were told it was for all workers front and back of house and the added tip line was for the waitress. This was confusing and felt ridiculous. Of course I want everyone to be paid a fair wage but why isn't the restaurant handling that? The restaurant could raise their prices by a few dollars which would be fine and then pass those funds on to insure that THEY pay their workers a fair wage. They could also just pay their workers a fair wage because that is their job as employers. But to set up a situation where you're charged 20% of your bill (in my case $150 to start so now it's $180) and then to be asked to do another 20-25% ON THAT AMOUNT well, I ended up paying $220 on a $150 bill. If that's something you're into, good for you. But I am hoping the restaurant will read this and consider paying their workers very well and not asking us to pay 60%+ on each bill to cover what should already be something they consider.

Love love love this place. More vegetarian/plant-based options would be great, but there's always at least one or two. Local 111 has been my go-to for celebrating special occasions upstate for years, and it never lets us down. The Hudson Valley abounds with small, sustainable family farms, and Local 111 not only supports them but proudly showcases their produce, meats and fish on the menu. The bar is similarly stocked with great local wines, beers, and liquors. Prices are reasonable for the quality and environment, if not within budget for a weekly meal. Servers are knowledgeable about the menu and helpful in recommending adaptions to meet dietary restrictions.

absolutely horrible. sht on a shingle. roasted chicken chaos. flavors did not mesh. will not be back. save yourself the agony. so hungry and thrown together like a doggy bag

We just had a delightful dinner at Local 111. All the dishes were inventive and inspired! The bread was heavenly. We shared a plate of vegetables with whipped feta that tasted like a garden. My husband and I shared a pork schnitzel over a green gazpacho that was flawless. My son got a chicken sandwich with an au jus that he tried to drink! I do however, have a service note. It is de rigor to open a bottle of wine at the table. Even a half bottle. Why? Because an uncorked bottle could be filled with anything. Apart from that it was a really terrific dining experience.

It's been a couple of years since I last ate here, which I enjoyed, so thought I'd go again. Service was excellent. The cocktails were excellent. The food was tasty but I felt like the presentation was kinda messy. A small point, perhaps, but slightly disappointing.

Really creative and tasty menu. Everything we had was amazing. Soju cocktails are really worth a try before you order a bottle of wine to go with your dinner. We started with the sausage corn dog appetizer ummmm. Best grownup corn dog ever. The Basmati Crunch salad with spring slaw, turmeric aioli and peanuts was so refreshing, it made you want to get every last morsel. Braised pork shoulder super tender ,loved the parsnips. Ricotta dumplings with 3 day slow cooked bolognase would make any Italian Mama jealous. Save room for desert. The dark chocolate flourless cake with Carmel sauce and those crunchy bits of sea salt was out of this world! Wish I lived closer to frequent this little gem more often.

This was unexpectedly poor. We sat outside as the weather was fine...but it was unfortunately noisy due to the grass being mowed across the street, Harleys rumbling by, and a truck with a confederate flag circling the block! I ordered their summer salad ($13), and a meagre portion, watery, and with a blue cheese dressing tasting odd, arrived On the bright side, 111's homemade bread was delicious and plentiful. I ordered the "Chatham Cod" which came well prepared with an excellent sauce but that was it. No sides, no veggies... My wife ordered the chicken breast which, when it came, looked like dried-out brown tofu. It apparently tasted like that too! The wine by the glass was fine but at 1/2 glass at $13, was a ripoff. Dinner came to $45/person including a gratuity. Needless to say, we will not be making the 40 minute drive to Philmont again.

The review is first, and COVID-specific comments addressed at the end: We did an automated reservation, for our anniversary. We don't know Josephine, but she took care of the reservation herself and emailed a nice note about the anniversary. We arrived on time and the table was ready. Josephine herself welcomed and seated us. The staff was cheery and attentive. Overall, the staff had a good balance of leaving us alone to converse and being attentive. Cone to think of it, there wasn't a single time that we had to look for our server for something. We started with drinks (A nice, dry Cremant Blanc - France) The food started with the Beet and Jasmine Rice Salad, and the Carrot Salad. We shared. Both were hearty, complex, with ingredients and seasonings that we were trying to guess. There was a Halibut soup on the menu that I wanted to try, but I went for the halibut entrée instead. We had the Parisian Ham-Wrapped Chicken Breast, which was delicious. With smoked tomato sauce, potato puree, peppers and pistachios. The ham was like bacon (in the best way). We finished only half of it. Took the other half home. We also had the Day Boat Halibut, a perfect portion, perfectly cooked, on a base of white beans with capers and kale. We had to skip dessert. The room is both large enough to give you privacy, has a low noise level to allow quiet conversation. Nice low lighting, kitchen noise was at a minimum. We've been here 6-10 times before, and have never had a bad meal or questionable service. The menu successfully follows the seasons, and there are always several good choices. Local 111 is, of course, an independent business, navigating a pandemic. For every $100 spent at a locally owned business, $45 stays in the local economy, creating jobs and expanding the locality's tax base. For every $100 spent at a national chain or franchise business, only $14 remains in the community. You have a choice! COVID Notes: I had a question about their COVID setup, and she sent answers withing the hour (Outdoor tables with heaters, spaced-out indoor tables). We ended up indoor next to a large wall that was a screen to the outside, so there was plenty of air and circulation, and not chilly on a Fall evening. We are social distancing compliant--with vulnerable family members--and we were comfortable with the setup.

My partner and I were very disappointed in the food and felt it lacked flavor and quality for the high prices plus 4% surcharge for the service. I found my meal of Lamb Ragu very greasy and lacking in any flavor and my tuna appetizer was also a big disappointment, it seemed like canned tuna, not even the greens had any taste. My partners fried chicken was one piece of chicken for $26., which would have been fine if it were edible. It was extremely tough and he could barely eat any of it. In hindsight, he should have sent it back. In fact, all of the food should have gone back. It was a waste of the $160. dollar for two bill. We would not recommend this place and they should seriously consider a new chef and total menu overhaul. Save your money and cook your own fried chicken at home. Two big thumbs down.

Indifferent service, super loud environment, fair food.

I had it in my mind that there weren't any vegetarian options on the menu here, so I was never terribly eager to go, even though I'd heard rave reviews from friends who aren't vegetarian. But I looked up the menu, saw a few options for me, and we decided to go. There definitely are vegetarian options (I think the server said they had added some), and I ordered something that's a bit hard to explain. It was some kind of baked/seared cabbage sections with a mushroom cream sauce. There was more to it than that, and I know it doesn't sound particularly interesting, but it really was delicious. A very creative concoction, and something I'd love to have again if it comes up on the menu. The meat eaters were extremely happy with their dishes, although I can't remember what they got. It was just an all-around "wow, this is delicious" kind of meal. The staff were great, our server was friendly and helpful, and the overall ambiance is really a treat. Great place, don't be shy if you're a vegetarian (but check the menu because it changes). If you eat meat and/or fish, there's definitely lots to choose from, all apparently quite good judging by the reactions of other diners in the restaurant.

The champagne we chose was very good and the service was professional and courteous. The dinners however were average and for $150.00, should have been better than average. The cabbage soup was extremely salty.

This is one of the best restaurants in the Hudson / Philmont area. Fresh locally sourced ingredients that reflect the area and friendly staff.

I was told this is the best restaurant in Columbia County. I beg to differ! I ordered the steak rare- it came out medium, with the edges well done. Yuk! It was very small for the price, served in pieces. Looked pretty but not tasty. I told the waitress that the steak was not done properly and all she said was "I'll tell them". No apology, no offer to make it right. Two pieces of vegetable, tasty but really? Only two strips? A few SMALL potatoes. I asked for more bread (which was good) but it never came. Left hungry after a steak dinner! That has never happened to me! One table-mate had stuffed dumplings with sauce. He was less than thrilled. Because the restaurant is near a church, it doesn't have a full bar. You can get wine and beer, as well an an interesting cocktail. All in all, I won't be back. There are lots of better places to eat in the county.

Was staying in Hudson for the weekend and came across this wonderful Farm to Table place on yelp. 20 minutes away but definitely worth stopping by when in the area and passing through. Ate here on a Sunday afternoon before driving back to the city. Ambience, Service, Ingredients were all amazing! The local ingredients and flavors was like a party in your mouth. We ordered the special soup of the day which was a corn ale cheese chowder. They told us it was made with Allagash white ale. It tastes amazing!!! The soup was not too thick being a chowder and has the right amount of cheese flavor without overpowering the taste. We definitely visit again just to have this soup! I ordered the special fried blueberry french toast with almond butter. Usually not a fan of almond butter but with the blueberry sauce and a dab of the whip cream the flavors all came together. It also had granola which gave each bite a little crunch. The dish was huge and very satisfying. My boyfriend had the house scramble which consists of corn, califlower and feta cheese scrambled into the eggs. A definite must order savory dish. The "Homies" which was their potatoes were nice and crunchy. Must visit! All the ingredients were fresh and tasty. The staff were all so friendly! And the ambience was very modern and the best part is it wasn't the usual NYC hustle and bustle where you have to eat quickly and are rushed out. A nice relaxing Sunday Brunch!

The best restaurant for miles and miles around. Interesting and delightful menu choices. Caring and friendly service.

Loved it. Exotic tastes. Bread was heavenly. Lime custard desert was amazing. Too many great dishes to mention. Totally new menu or so it seems. Great service. Reasonable wine prices. The panacotta was to die for.

Canned wine! Croquettes were more like dumplings, crispy and chewy, yes, but unfortunately leaden. Canned wine! Crispy chicken sandwich was awash in mayo and ketchup. Fries second rate -- not crispy, mashed-potatoey inside. Servers going out of their way to show personality. Something amiss in the bill -- are you encouraged (tricked) into double tipping? Canned wine!

This is one of our favorite area restaurants so we were excited to return for dinner several weeks ago. We had made a reservation and arrived on time. I am a pescatarian and ordered fish only to be told that they ran out of it because of holiday weekend. Ok they could have said as we sat down but ok we tried for a sweet potato dish without the bacon and cheese. It was brought out with my companion' meal as anticipated but with cheese! I was told it would take another 15-20minutes for it to be remade but there was no other choice for my dinner. At that. Point we should have gotten up and left. My companion was finished with his meal about 5 minutes before mine was brought out. And his bolognese was watery. I was offered another glass of wine but was basically unattended to during the whole time. The potato ( only one half) was hard and only warm. When the check came we were a bit shocked to find a charge of 22 dollars for the potato! Outrageous for the meal and especially for the return and redo to meet my order. Not what we have come to expect of 111 - perhaps they should have planned better on the fish. From there it became a spiral downward.

Excellent food and service, worth a drive to get here. What a gorgeous and modern restaurant, the chef has numerous awards and I can see why. We tried several different appetizers and entrees, wow! The lamb was delicious, everything is really fresh and seasonal. The chef came out and made sure we enjoyed our meal, you can tell she is VERY talented and cares about her customers. Thank you!

Come here for: Farm-to-table excellence at paycheck-to-paycheck prices. _____________________ For a converted industrial space, this restaurant is surprisingly cozy ... and for the middle of nowhere it's surprisingly sophisticated. On warm summer days the garage doors roll open and the NYC weekenders roll in for some of the freshest, best-prepared food within driving distance of the city. The brunch menu boasts a ton of variety, and every dish that comes out of the kitchen looks amazing. I chose the whole wheat waffles with strawberry-rhubarb compote and whipped cream, which just might be one of the best decisions I ever made before noon. The side of sausage was a revelation -- chunky, loose-packed, and browned to perfection, seasoned with fresh herbs that were light enough to let the flavor of the pork shine through. Nearly everything on my table was made in-house, from the sausage to the whipped cream to the half-and-half. Seriously, who takes the time to make their own half-and-half? It's that kind of attention to detail that sets this place apart. I can't wait to come back and try the dinner menu, which, I'm told, changes every Wednesday when the local farmers make their deliveries. Prices are incredibly reasonable given the quality of food -- maybe because they don't charge extra for posing & pretense, like so many places do. That alone would merit a sixth star, if yelp allowed it.

Really, really wonderful food. I'm surprised there haven't been any other reviews in like a year! Came last weekend when I was up in the Catskills visiting family, and we went out for a birthday celebration. I'll get to my main, but let's start with the apps -- pickled ramps were an interesting way to start things off, mostly just pickly and not too..ramp-y? The house-cured olives were amazing, and this is coming from someone who previously proclaimed to hate olives! Red mustard salad was perfectly fine, if not out of this world, but the boston lettuce salad with bacon - excellent! Bacon bits my ass, this was some delicious meat. Although I ordered a veg entree, yummy meat was definitely a theme of the evening, as evidence by my multiple samples of my sister's orchiette with sausage. I stuck with the conchiglie with ricotta, roasted garlic and spinach - wow. Simple, no real sauce, seemed like just a butter bath, but the ingredients were top-notch. Excellent cheese, and is there anything better than eating whole cloves of garlic, sweetened with the oven and fat? Yeah, no, there isn't. I was REALLY looking forward to trying the ice cream cookie sandwich, but they were out! So we went with the flourless chocolate cake and the rhubarb crisp. The cake was rich and delicious, but that crisp...oh god, that crisp. I ate more crisp than I care to admit right now, but it was worth it. There aren't too many really quality special occasion-type restaurants around these parts, but Local 111 fits the bill. Ambiance and food both get an A from me.

We went here for a joint birthday celebration last night after I'd heard really good things. It proved to be wonderful. It was a beautiful drive and I really loved the aesthetic of the converted auto body shop. The interior was primarily decorated in gold and black, and it was far more simple chic than one might expect for a rural-type area. I don't mean that to sound snobby - I come from some rural roots myself! I'm really into simple, good food done well without being overly fussy and Local 111 manages this deftly. Almost all the produce and meat is local, and much of it is organic, grass-fed. etc. The seafood is not, of course. I started with a delicious high ball made with sherry, bitters and ginger ale. For my app, I had a simple salad with chicory, pancetta and ricotta salata. My friend had the baked homemade pasta with fresh corn and braised lamb, which she said was unique but tasty. My boy had this delicious duck and pork liver pate served with honey thyme almonds and these delicious spicy pickles. The pate was out of this world. My grilled grass-fed steak with shallots and red wine deduction was cooked perfectly and I loved the side of roasted broccoli. The summer squash with olive butter wasn't quite as good. My boy got the roasted monkfish with potato-leek gratin, which he loved. I snuck a bite of the fish, which was absolutely wonderful. Amy's free-range roasted chicken with fresh herbs was perfectly roasted, leaving it moist and succulent. It was probably the best roast chicken I've had and she had the local carrots with marcona almonds and roast broccoli as her sides. For dessert, we each had the buttermilk pannacotta which came with a rhubarb syrup, a small piece of crumb cake and a candied orange peel. It could have used some more fruit with it but it was still quite tasty. Dinner for three with wine, a cocktail and three courses each came to about 180. Honestly, for the amount and quality of food we had, I thought that was pretty reasonable considering it was a special occasion. If I went again, an entree each and a shared app would have been plenty. Amy and I both took home leftovers so we'd have room for dessert. Our waitress was friendly and efficient, not to mention extremely cute.

Holy crap! This food was amazing!!!!!!!! I had the duck and a bit of every appetizer on the menu. I came here with my coworkers for our holiday party and the food was incredible. The waitresses were super helpful when it came to figuring out what to order. The chef was amazing. She came to our table to talk to us. As an added bonus, the cocktails were to die for. I don't remember which one I had, but each of us had a different one and we were all very happy. I loved the atmosphere. They had a bunch of cool plants at the door, including a lemon tree. Everything was clean and the lighting was cool as well. I'll definitely be back here again!

I have to say I got sucked in. Love the farm to table, local focus and I have a personal connection to the name and the number 111. It was a schlep to get there, but we enjoyed the ride. Great space - love the garage doors and it is a very warm, inviting space. We were greeted and seated promptly. Had the olives as a snack - delicious. My husband was happy with the beer selection (not stellar, but satisfying). I had prossecco which I greatly enjoyed. Appetizers - I had the corn chowder and my husband had the risotto. Both needed editing and downsizing. A cup of lighter corn chowder (it was delicious, but heavy with cream and potatoes) would have been a better choice. My husband's risotto was again, delicious, but had a center of cheese, then topped with tomatoes and almonds. And it was an entree size - too much on all fronts. Main course - husband had steak- good flavor, a little chewy. I had the lamb, sliced, nicely cooked, it had an eggplant puree stuffed roasted red pepper under it and red cabbage on top. The flavors complimented each other, but it seemed unnecessarily complicated, IMHO. Had a lovely Finger Lakes Pinot Noir. Dessert - we had raspberry/blueberry chocolate bread pudding with homemade vanilla ice-cream. Not spectacular, but certainly good. I had a glass of blueberry port that was surprisingly good and complimented the dessert well. We enjoyed the experience, and the service was excellent. The word of the night: edit.

Wow just a wonderful meal. Pure fresh and wonderfully hospitable. We came upstate for a birthday weekend getaway and enjoyed a truly wonderful meal at Local 111. All the meals are locally sourced and the dishes were memorable. The service is lovely. I mentioned that we'd share the rosted beet salad (you must have this dish) and they brought it out in 2 bowls with my requesting....little things like that go a long way with me. Our server was a lovely woman with whom we enjoyed chatting and getting to know. I also phoned in an order for a vegan birthday cake and the Chef/Owner made it herself and then came out to chat with us an introduce herself. Not to mention the cake was utterly delicious too!!! Here's the meal run down. 1. Beet salad, also comes with some lovely radishes that I had never seen before. The dressing was bangin!!! I literally sipped the remaining tablespoon out of my bowl. 2. Local cheese platter, DIVINE. The blue cheese was sweet tangy and balanced. 3. Cured olives...didnt care for them and the staff took them back with out questions. Not criticizing the dish, they use anise in the brine I think and its just a flavor on olives that didnt work for us. 4. Risoto was creamy, perfectly executed and joyfully delicious 5. Roasted chicken, on a bed of kale which was the star of the dish with lovely little crispy rice balls. The chicken was of excellent quality. Perhaps a bit prosaic or underwhelming but it only put the spotlight on the greens which were fab. 6. Our custom made Vegan chocolate cake. Too good for words. Please visit, get to know your server and the Chef if possible. These are great people doing a wonderful job. Cheers!!!!

Local 111 is the best restaurant in the area. A diverse local menu of comfort foods elevated to fine dining, professional service, a nice affordable wine list, fun desserts, and a welcoming atmosphere have moved this ahead of other Columbia County standouts like Old Chatham Country Store in my book.

This has been a gem for years. I've only had nice things to say about this wonderful restaurant. Creative meals, fresh ingredients, comforting vibe, excellent value, attentive service. There's nothing more you can ask for!

Wow. Just wow. The hubby and I came up to the Berkshires to celebrate our first anniversary and we wanted a really excellent meal. Based on reviews we opted for Local 111. We could not have been happier! The locavore restaurant showcases local meat and produce and changes their menu regularly. It is set in an old garage and has a really cool ambiance. Servers were sweet and attentive without hovering. Food was out of this world. We started with the local cheese plate and for entrees my husband had the braised lamb (which was almost like a stew) and I had a vegetarian special - cheesy polenta stuffed pepper with a tomato bisque. For dessert we split the mint chip parfait which basically tasted like a huge frozen Andes mint (yum!) We both agreed this was the best meal we've had in a long time and can't wait to come back to the area to try it again! Don't miss it, absolutely worth it!!

My experience was just "ok" at Local 111. Upon walking in, we were immediately asked if we had a reservation, which we did not. They hostess explained that they could seat us, but there were many reservations and in short, we would need to eat quickly. That was fine with us, but when we walked into the dining room, I'd say that maybe 15% of tables were taken. Oook... We figured with this rush of reservations, our service would be quick. Nope. It took almost 10 minutes just for our waitress to come over just for our drink order. We started off with the croquettes and brussel sprout salad, both which were very good. For the entrees, I ordered the special (beef stew), and my boyfriend ordered the sirloin. The beef stew was not good - the beef was very dry, and I did not care for the broth. I actually ended up swapping meals with my boyfriend because I really could not eat the stew. After tasting the (very small) sirloin, I found that was dry as well, and also way overcooked than his medium rare request. By the end of our meal, we noticed that only one new table had been filled since we arrived. I think this place has great potential, and upon on other reviews, I would like to try Local 111 again. Hoping for a better experience next time!

Local treat This was my 2nd visit to this charming garage turned restaurant serving seasonally local prepared foods. The menu was creative and appetizing. The hake was prepared tastefully as was their summer veggie - everything including the kitchen sink - soup. The lamb burgers were topped with feta yogurt and hint of pesto. Pricey - yes - but guaranteed fresh and delicious. A local treat in Columbia County.

Delicious local surprise. We were in town visiting for the weekend and came here for brunch based on the the yelp reviews. The restaurant is a short drive from Hudson and has parking. The decor is modern and charming, the staff is friendly and helpful. The food is all fresh and delicious! My only disappointment was that I wasn't going to be in town long enough to try their dinner!

Great food, great service. My husband and I went in on a Saturday night around 5:45 without reservations and were seated promptly. We ordered the local cheese plate as an appetizer - a really tasty selection of what I like to call "stinky" cheeses - brie and bleu styled sheep, goat and cow milk cheeses locally sourced. I had a delicious grass-fed steak atop a beet salad and a side of pumpkin fritters. My husband had a truly outstanding bacon cheeseburger with well-fried french fries. When they told us they had almond ice cream, we happily split an ice cream sandwich. Everything was fresh and well-prepared, and the cook definitely knows the difference between medium rare and rare which is a delight (it's a crime to cook grass fed meat past medium rare).
