The Local - Wayland - A Little Bit About a Lot of Things A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

April 24, 2014 The Local – Wayland

We had been to The Local in Newton, and decided to try out the one in Wayland, a suburb west of Boston.

While the dining room looks like it wasn’t crowded, the area on the other side of the bar was packed.

The bar was hopping with people coming in to watch the game.

Looking for something a little lighter for lunch we tried the golden beet salad with Vermont goat cheese, pistachio pesto, baby arugula, and sherry vinaigrette. The dish was plated beautifully and I really liked the balance of flavors and textures.

We also tried the bolognese which was a bit heavy for us for lunch. The tomato sauce was spicy and reminded us of chili (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing). The restaurant had a good atmosphere, definitely a welcome addition to this suburban town. Next time, I’m looking forward to trying the flatbreads and the burger.
