"First time here and found out Sherwood North only opened 10-days ago as the new owners took over this historic property. Wow! We have been staying in the area for 4 days and had been to numerous restaurants in the area. Hands down this is the best that we have been to. We started out with appetizers. I had the Pickled herring platter with pickled vegetables and crispy bread and pâté. The herring was two different ways and was accompanied by pickles, pickled onions andcarrots and crispy bread. The pâté was the richness needed to cut through the acid in the pickled vegetables and this plate was extremely well executed. It was the first time that I had seen pickled herring on a menu in the United States.I looked up the menu online and saw this item and made the decision to have dinner here based solely on this appetizer since I have never seen it outside of European countries. The second appetizer we had was the Brie Brûlée Board. Itfeatured toasted Brie Cheese, Crocotini Crackers, dried fruit, nuts and jam. The Brie was perfectly toasted and the jam was absolutely delicious with the right amount of sweetness to complement the cheese. The mildly acidic olives providedthe perfect balance point to counterbalance the sweetness on the board. The third appetizer was the Popovers served with honey butter and bone marrow butter. They were steaming hot and absolutely delicious. We actually used some of the jamfrom the Brûlée board and combined it with the honey butter and it was insanely good (I would ask for some jam it goes so well with the popovers). The popovers are a MUST HAVE! For a main course I had the pork chop with Apple horseradishglaze. This is honestly the best pork chop I have ever eaten. The bone in pork chop was perfectly glazed then grilled and it had just the right amount of char to allow the glaze to sear on the outside. It had a dash of sea salt whichprovided just the right amount of brininess to offset the sweeter glaze. Upon cutting into th"

"I’ve been wanting to try this spot and I finally did. I was very disappointed , shocked and regretful for coming here. Sadly I gave this spot a try on my birthday and had the worst experience at a restaurant ever in my life coming here! The food was fine but the type of “customer service” I got was horrible. At first I had one waitress that was sweet and I feel like she was trying her best to be attentive but then ASHLEY was I guess “helping” her and when she came to my table she was so rude. She came to bring some drinks and left right away without saying anything . I was wanting to ask her if we can have some straws so I said excuse me and she continue to walk away acting like she couldn’t hear me! At first I was like okay she probably didn’t hear me but when I helped myself to go get some straws myself since it was in a spot that I was able to grab she comes back saying “I have your straws here.” She was very passive aggressive. That’s when I realized that she did hear me and chose to ignore me! She was horrible throughout the whole time me and my friends where there. She again came back to bring a second round of drinks and again no straws on her? But says “And I’ll bring you your straws right now”again in a (passive aggressive manner) Like if you know I’m going to ask for straws why not bring them along with the drinks and not be having us wait for them?? Plus what waitress doesn’t have straws on them? She was honestly the worse waitress I’ve ever came across with. She’s a joke and is an older woman acting like she’s 15 with that type of attitude. She was so rude and disrespectful if a manager reads this I hope he talks to her about her behavior. She definitely hates her job and takes it up on others I can only imagine how she treats her coworkers. Plus the service was very slow we ended up having to order two drinks at the same time for the reason that they kept on forgetting about us. I was very disappointed I’ve never felt the way I did that night at a restaurant. I rather go to a taco stand by the projects then ever coming here again."

"Love this place. If you 're looking for a hometown vibe with great personality and fresh pub food, come to Local Flavor. I stopped I 'm on a Sunday for lunch and had a choice of brunch or lunch (love that), but was really jonesing for a hamburger. My first time here, obviously I had to go with the "The Local (classic) that comes with cheddar cheese, and your choice of toppings and sauces. No sense in going through how I had it because everyone likes theirs differently, but it came exactly as I ordered it, with the exception of one area, which is the reason for 4 instead of 5 stars, and while it might not be totally fair after you hear why, the bottom line is I expected one thing and received another, albeit delicious . I asked for my hamburger medium rare, and it came well done, but that 's mainly because it was more of a smash burger than a thick patty, so there really isn 't a way to prepare a smash burger medium rare, but someone should have helped me understand that before leaving with my order and expectations different than what would be delivered. The onion rings were spot on, crispy, a great seasoning in the batter, and onions that didn 't pull through the crust when I bit through them. PERFECT! Now is probably a good time to talk about the service. Extremely friendly wait team, and more than one person checked on me throughout my meal, making eye contact and genuinely interested in how I was enjoying my meal. It was comfortable without being overly hovering. Well done. One of the best things is, the carry a bunch of local beers from locals breweries. Wichita has a bunch of great local breweries and many of them are represented here, huge bonus. On the day I visited I had iced tea because I was working on my house and didn 't want to have a beer just yet, but I 'm definitely going back and trying the fish and chips, and a local IPA. Can 't wait to see what other surprises are available, like scratch made pies, and other delights."

"my wife and I went to the local for the first time on Sunday. we were looking forward to it due to reviews and mouth-propaganda. when we arrived, we sat on a very small table for two. the temperature in the restaurant was so cold that we and some other guests wore our moms all the time. the chairs are very uncomfortable, old and munter. but we were there for dinner, not for the chairs. we were told by the waiter that they were known for their beef tenderloin. so my wife ordered it. I ordered the steak fries. when the order of my wife came out, it was carburized on all surfaces. it was a PERFECT medium, rare in, but no one, nor the menu told us it would be charred. my wife tried to cut off all these arguments, but finally abandoned. I asked them to take it back and cook it without the contest. They brought us back the exact same two pieces of meat, but this time it was even more charred, and had given a crazy amount of salt. at this point I asked about the check and we went. I've never had anyone who's been degrading our meal. my steak was hard, but properly cooked. the only bright spot was the French fries. they were wonderful. I cannot express enough, our overwhelming disappointment in this restaurant. this is the first and only meal we had in one of the nicer restaurant 's in charlottesville, that was not pleasant. our official waiter, ji was very nice and polite, but was in training, and his trainer seemed to be investing more to show female guests than in actual training ji . I feel bad for ji as he will have a hard time with it when it is as his mentor. as older couple it was discouraging to get minimal service from this person, and to see how he invested in the younger couple on each side of us. we were completely reduced due to our age."
