Yarr. Every time I post directly from my iPhone, this is the quality I get. My apologies. I'll start carrying the real camera more often!My coworker Jeff and I are both budget-conscious these days, but we were anxious to give Local 127 another spin. After all, our first visit was on their opening day (of the lunch menu, I mean) and we weren't sure we'd gotten an authentic experience.
And so, Jeff's stroke of genius: eat lunch at the office, swing by Local 127 for dessert. We hadn't had much of a chance for dessert last time because we were so full form our lunch fare, so this would be a new experience altogether.
It was a good call. The service was much more relaxed-- Mike, our waiter, was knowledgeable and friendly but not all up in our faces.
And our desserts were fab. I was a little envious of Jeff's-- he had cheesecake served in a Mason jar, with dried fruit and homemade whipped cream on it. He also ordered a coffee, which came with semi-sweet chocolate, cane sugar and more of that fantastic whipped cream. He was jittering by the end, to say the least.
I had the pudding, which was delicious, rich, and far too large. I can't imagine finishing it after a full meal. The sample size we were given on their opening day was a much better size-- enough to taste, enjoy and move on. This this was a full commitment. Again, I think I would have preferred the cheesecake-- I tried Jeff's and it was light, whipped, and delicious.
These were the only two desserts on the menu-- it's not really their focus, and they will change with the seasons of course.
Local 127 still has a pretty low rating on UrbanSpoon-- I think the lunch experience must be a lot different from the dinner experience. If you have a nice business lunch coming up or you're just tired of the same old 4th street lunch options, try this place. Maybe give dinner here a second thought?
