Great food with mediocre service. Our table ordered Tuna, salmon and shrimp dishes and everyone was very happy. Wine selectionscwere also very good and properly priced. However our waitress was not attentive. We had to wait long periods to get her attention and never topped our water or wine glasses. Hence the 4 star.

I recently visited 501 Local and tried a few different dishes with my group, including the tiger prawn tacos, the 501 Burger, and the shrimp cocktail. The food was alright overall, but nothing really stood out flavor-wise. The tacos looked fresh with plenty of cabbage and radish, but they were pretty mild in taste. The shrimp cocktail was nicely presented but fairly basic, and the 501 Burger was decent but again, lacked the bold flavors we were hoping for.
One thing we all noticed was that the portions were on the smaller side, especially considering the prices, which felt a bit steep for what you get. The restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere, but the food just didn’t quite live up to expectations for the price point.

Sunday brunch date was delightful and delicious! Pleasant atmosphere, cute decor, thoughtful service. All around lovely vibe. The quiche was flavorful with a perfectly flaky crust. Fresh asparagus had just the right texture. Everything was prepared with care. Highly recommend!

Very cozy restaurant in the heart of Winnetka, very safe and beautiful neighborhood. They give you option to eat inside or on the patio, which is great during summertime.
Stuff was very pleasant, didn’t bother us unnecessarily.
We’ve tried some appetizers from the menu, everything was good, and we didn’t wait long. I liked hips with guacamole, potstickers and chicken skewers.
Atmosphere was very nice, everyone was friendly and polite.
It’s a good place to gather with a family or friend for a brunch or dinner.

Overall, not sure ♂️
Good location, nice decor. Food was so-so.
The Caesar salad wasn’t great, made with iceberg not cos lettuce & the lettuce was browning …
The dessert was better, watermelon cake was something new and very nice. Service was good.
Bit ‘whatevers’ in the end.

Great food and value, always come back here. In the summer the patio is really cute, and in the winter the snow globes are a fun idea. Please bring back the delicious shrimp

I absolutely loved 501 Local! The location is excellent, offering a great vibe that immediately draws you in. The food was delicious—perfectly prepared and full of flavor. The customer service was just as impressive, with the staff being attentive, friendly, and eager to ensure a great experience.
The friendly locals add an even greater charm, making the atmosphere feel welcoming and superb. Whether you choose to sit indoors or outdoors, you’ll enjoy your time, though I recommend making a reservation since it gets pretty crowded.
For me, it was love at first sight, and I can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend checking it out!

Wanted to love it more. Lots of rapport between staff and patrons so it’s clearly a real local regulars place. Tables are packed in tightly. Felt like I was in the space of the couple behind us especially when I stood up.
Beef bourguignon was very pretty but underseasoned. No detectable red wine taste to the sauce or meat. Beet salad was declared “fine.” We started with the spring rolls which were good and the potstickers .. good except the sauce with ketchup and sweet chili notes was a bit overpowering. All the appetizers on the menu were Asian except focaccia and soup. Desserts were enjoyed. Cocktails were good.
Funny to see menu highlights in google maps include tiramisu, scallops, and hangar steak, none of which were on offer during our visit.
