dining experience

Accessibility

Locals Restaurant is fully 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.

dining with children

We welcome young diners to experience Locals cuisine. As we have no deep fryer, our children’s menu is healthy and varied. We recommend that you request an earlier reservation time, before the restaurant is very busy and meal times take a bit longer. 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.

Pet Dog Policy

Unfortunately, due to a series of events involving dogs on the patio, we will no longer be accomodating pets at Locals.

 

gift cArds

We have Gift Cards available to purchase in person, or through this website - see the drop down menu at top right. We do not send electronic versions of the Cards, due to potential mishandling. Our local mail is sent to Vancouver for sorting, so please take that in consideration with your time line.

Please note that gift cards cannot replaced if lost or stolen.

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 1/2 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.

vegetarian, vegan & gluten-free options

We are very pleased to offer dishes for our guests with specific dietary requirements and preferences, and are noted on our menus. Please discuss your dietary requirements and preferences with your server.
