The staff squeezed us in before the Swell Season concert, no reservation! The food was fantastic, the staff great, the atmosphere warm and cozy. We all shared. The beet/ Arugala pizza appetizer on a micro thin crust was, and I hate to say it....to die for. On a whim, I ordered their gorganzola topped hamburger on a challa bread........incredible!

The restaurant was chosen for the proximity to Trinity Rep and because of the previous reviews. All eight of us thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We had a 12:30 reservation, but arrived in town 45 minutes early. The owner/manager opened the restaurant early for us and served the most delicious martinis. He even took the photo attached. The menu wasn't extensive,... more

My husband and I like good food and Local 121 was fantastic. We enjoy organic and sustainable ingredients; this restaurant intrigued us with its commitment. We ordered a variety of small plates in lieu of a large meal. We ordered the "Rhode Island Clam Chowder" which is a broth base soup. The scallops were cooked to perfection. The cheese sampler... more

We ate at the restaurant for a family birthday dinner, meaning we were in the mood to splurge and feel treated, and we all (4) walked away happy. The cream of carrot soup was marvelous: garlicky and slightly curried; I could have been happy with just that for a meal. Scallops and lentil appetizers were equally superb. Our main courses... more

The staff was friendly, the food inventive, and the ambience charming. The drinks can be inventive to the point of almost being TOO inventive at times, but the organic Prairie vodka from Minnesota was excellent. I had the littlenecks with picked peppers and chorizo, which was a bit salty (and I like salt!) My mother had the mussel special (in... more

The dining room and are bar are extremely well done. Very neat and elegant. We ordered the calamari to start with a bottle of wine. The calamari was fantastic - some of the best we have had. It was a good sized portion as well. Then, the meal went down hill. I ordered the skirt steak while my wife ordered... more

We loved the dining room decor and then were wowed by the food. Hearty, innovative and delicious. Great presentation and attentive service. An outstanding meal. The bar looked like a great place to hang out too. Going back for a second visit this weekend and will follow up on round 2. more
