Maintaining Service Standards as we continue
to recover from the Pandemic
Thank you to our supportive customers who have asked how we are managing during the pandemic. Overall we have weathered the trials and tribulations rather well.
However, occasionally we have had challenges maintaining service standards.
We have employed strategies to address our present reality. In response the labour shortage, we have decreased the number of tables in use and are timing reservations with the intension that the kitchen team does not get overwhelmed.
Below is an explanation offered by one of our primary suppliers that speaks to the issues effecting the hospitality industry...
"... this is not in an effort to make up excuses, just in an effort to create a culture where we all understand each other’s challenges with the current local pressure on the food chain. Shortfalls are due to labour shortages, COVID-19 restrictions, volume demands, shipping container issues, delayed rail transportation, just to name a few of the issues...."
Thank you in advance for your understanding.
Chef Ronald and Tricia St. Pierre and the entire Locals team

Accessibility
Locals Restaurant is wheelchair accessible. Our Main Level Dining Room and washrooms are fully accessible. Our patio has one 4" step down, and is often navigated by backing the wheelchair down the step, with assistance. The Upper Dining Room has 3 stairs, with a very sturdy handrail.
Reservation Times-
As we make everything in house, from scratch, and to order, we wish to ensure ample time for your dining experience. Dinner reservations are accepted in 2 hour intervals. If you are running off to a show, catching a ferry, etc. please inform your server. Please note that we do not have a lounge or bar in which to wait, should you arrive early for your reservations.
Dining with Children
We welcome young diners to experience Locals cuisine earlier in the evening. As we have no deep fryer, our children’s menu is healthy and varied. The acoustics of the restaurant occasionally pose a challenge due to height of the ceilings. Should your child become noisy, we respectfully request that you respond and attempt to settle him or her. Please let your server or the hostess know if there is anything we can do to make your dining experience more comfortable and enjoyable.
