Lokal is a favorite of mine, you get great food with none of the pretentious attitude thrown around across the street at Five Leaves. All the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, and eating outdoors across from McCarren park is delightful. My favorite things to order are the salmon, pizza, and the chicken panini. Quality is consistent and I love the friendly atmosphere. I live on the same block as Lokal and it's sad to see Five Leaves constantly packed with customers across the street when the servers there can barely be bothered to look at you, much less actually serve you food.

I always like the food at Lokal, but I must admit, with great embarrassment, the portions are all too small for me. I always leave relatively hungry. If I had to suggest something off the menu, it would be the burger because it's a pretty substantial plate of food. I never think to go here because I don't feel it's a substantial meal.

I am lucky enough to have this wonderful restaurant around the corner from me. The staff are so friendly and make you feel welcome. It's as if you're at a friends house for dinner. The food is great too, has a great range as well. Enjoy finger foods like a burger or have salmon or any of their other tasty dishes. Great brunch deal on the weekend. $11 pre fixe. And their bloody mary's are only $3 each! You can have 3 drinks for the price you'd pay somewhere else!

A group of friends and I decided to try out Lokal last night. The wait staff was personable and extremely attentive. We never felt rushed, although one of the members of our party didn't arrive for nearly half an hour. The food was very good and the overall experience was excellent. I had the fish of the day, which was a broiled trout...fresh and delicious. The fried calamari was excellent with spicy & crunchy breading that unlike anything I've ever had. Vegetarians beware because there isn't much in the way of meatless dishes, though you'll be fine if you indulge in chicken or fish. The desserts were beautifully rich and yummy! Try the bread pudding. It's unreal.
