Visited the restaurant for the first time. Even though it's situated in the middle of an industrial area, the building is new and the interior is very friendly and inviting. Our server--whose name I unfortunately neglected to get--was effervescent, chatty, and all smiles and sass: great qualities for a server in a simple, homey place like The Local Omnivore. The menu was difficult to navigate, but only because EVERYTHING looked so good, we wanted to try it all. Since we are still alive, you know we did not order everything our first time out. We got a burger, a sammich, the large poutine, a side of the schnitzel, and one of the butcher's boards. Yes, we added bread and cheese and the beets. This ain't our first rodeo. The food was excellent, though we did have trouble deciding on which of the sausages was our favourite. And the lemon-grapefruit meringue tarts? Yum! Throughout our stay, our server ensured we had everything we needed to have the best time ever! We even got to write on the wall! So thanks for a great meal and a great experience. We will definitely be back. The only thing we weren't 100% sold on were the random items on the wall (Fernando was great, though): a WWE belt, some chainsaws, and a couple of board games. King of Tokyo is a good game, but what was it doing behind the counter? Never mind. The food is why Edmonton should eat at The Local Omnivore. It's wonderful, and we feasted like royalty for about $30 each, including beverages. OH, AND ANOTHER THING: As a non-drinker, I appreciate it when restaurants offer bottled pop, mocktails, or other non-alcoholic beverages besides fountain pop. Local Omnivore had an iced tea that was very refreshing and flavourful! I've been to places that offered their iced tea in a smaller glass, that was more bland, and was more expensive. So good on ya, Local Omnivore, for offering something so GOOD! I'll shut up now.
