Extremely nice staff!!!! They gave me extra sprite for free since my drink was too strong for me!! Drinks are great, really strong (too strong for me personally) but i mean it’s great that they don’t skim on alcohol!! We have not tried any food so no opinion on that!!

Amazing food and super friendly service. The Shakshuka was great.

I was pretty impressed by my brunch experience here! The dishes are affordable and really tasty. The shakshuka is exactly what someone needs on a cold winter weekend morning. The avocado toast also was delicious, with an amazing creamy cheese on top and spectacular latkes.

Absolutely excellent! The food was delicious, staff was lovely and attentive. The owner of this place knows what he is doing and makes a mean cocktail, as well as their lead bartender. I will absolutely be back!

They just got the new menu and the food is so Delicious. Drink are always a hit.

Very good experience. Happy to share our lunch time with Joselito, Nakia, Felix and all the staff. Thanks for all, very well recomended

I love coming to this place ! Every time I dine here I always feel welcomed and Luca the manager always makes sure my needs are met ! I highly recommend here for dinner 10/10 experience!

I wandered in here during a trip into Manhattan and had the local92 burger with a few expertly crafted cocktails (big ups to my man Kareem who can mix a damn fine drink). Everything was delicious and was clearly made with care and quality ingredients. All the staff was friendly and the atmosphere was on point! The industrial chic deco was complimented by the wall murals and the paintings hung about the space. I had a great time and would definitely come back with friends or on a date.

Cute place in Nolita. Great ambience with lovely selection of music. The server was just excellent. Very spontaneous in conversation. Coming to food ordered the Shakshuka with hot fresh loaf. It was outstanding. Compliments to the chef. Paired it with a couple of Martinis and that’s how the Sunday brunch was wrapped up. Coming back soon

Delicious brunch and cocktails. The hummus is so yummy! We also ordered the Israeli Hangover Pita and Potato Pancakes — both were delicious. Super friendly staff. They are busy but attentive. We enjoyed and will be back.

I've walked past local 92 a million times and severelyy underestimated how good it would be. It's a Mediterranean restaurant with tapas in the east village with fabulous cocktails, vegan/vegetarian friendly food that's NOT just falafel, and attentive friendly service. It's perfect for happy hour, a romantic date night, or a girls night out.

Great Middle Eastern restaurant! All food that we ordered was delicious and tasty! From the outside it was okay but when you taste their food then you will change your mind! Location: It is located on second avenue, the interior is nice with a nice bar in the side. The outdoor seating is better, cause it is spacious and more safer and comfortable. Service: The servers are nice, they gave you good recommendations. A little bit busy as usual, but they try their best to accommodate! Also, they gave us free shots because we get along with the servers. Food: All that we ordered was delicious, small servings tho but the taste of the food was good! FALAFEL PLATTER: omg the hummus that comes with it are so good! Silky and perfect with the falafel and pita that comes with it. It is good for sharing or even by yourself! BURATTA: the cheese is soft and delicious. It comes with bacon or ham? I'm not sure but it tastes good with the burrata. CALAMARI: we were sad when it came cause we thought it was fried but man it was so good, it was grilled and it taste like a ceviche. EGGPLANT SCHNITZEL: the fried eggplant is so good and not over fried so the softness of the eggplant was retained. FROZEN PASSION FRUIT DAQUIRI: omg it was so good and refreshing, but hits you at the end! LOL Price rating: 8/10, it was not that bad for the price. The food was great. Will definitely come back here if I pass by second avenue and if I crave for good hummus and that passion fruit daiquiri! LOL

It’s a sick place with super cool people behind the bar ,Must stop for a quickie or a long night 🫰

Israeli & Italian menu. Unique setting with local artist murals by a friend of the owner. Lamb kabobs on the list. The mediterranian plater is a real treat!

Great Soho Italian restaurant. We had a big group of 10 and service was no problem. Great, friendly staff. Super fun, eclectic NY decor. Very comfortable setting. Food was excellent! Gnocchi was spot on, from pasta to sauce. Good time was had by all.

After a disappointing off Broadway show experience, this place made everything better. The food was AMAZING, everything was so tasty. The service was top notch! Our server Nikia (sorry if I spelled it wrong) was so perfect, funny, accommodating, and amazing!! She made our crappy night a thousand times better! Please go here, you won't be disappointed!!

The place itself is a vibe. The service is amazing. The waiter Winnifer is amazing and nice and will accomodate to your liking. The drinks are to die foorrr.

Awesome atmosphere!! Great service, great food. Good price point. It was a great experience!! The staff was fun and amazing!! Highly recommend.

Amazing food (try the octopus), drinks are fantastic and staff are extremely attentive and friendly. Great for happy hour or dinner !

Food was delicious. Services Was a bit relaxed.

Simply too delicious, good price, the waiter lovely, the amazing music, I'm speechless

Galans really made my experience phenomenal. He is a very lovely and talented individual. His service skills are exquisite and he really knows how to serve a table of teenage girls. We love Galans very much. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Gelens was an exceptional waiter. Would definitely come here again. Pizza was delish!

I loved it! Food was good fast and filling. Thank you!

Amazing food, great music, our server Gelnes did an amazing job making sure our drinks were good, food was ready quick. Thank you! Our favorite spot by far

This review is only based off the drinks! We stopped in to take a break from walking around and get a drink. I got the lavender refresher and my sister got the raspberry blossom and they were both amazing! The service was also great, so warm and friendly! We’ll keep tabs on this place to stop for lunch next time we’re in NY!!!

Great atmosphere and exceptional waitstaff. The hummus was pretty good although a bit heavy on the olive oil. The cauliflower crown was really delicious. The tahini aioli was kind of like a sour cream taste… not sure why but the lemon aioli was spot on.

We loved it here - such a nice quiet place in the heart of soho. Sat at the bar - Joselita was the best!

Great spot!! Amazing for larger groups. Pizza and carbonara were delicious, calamari also amazing

Absolutely loved the vibe, service and menu. This restaurant is amazing. We truly enjoyed it.

Contender for best place for breakfast in the East Village. Try the Israeli Eggs Benedict with chickpea polenta, lamb, and latkes on the side. The shakshuka with eggs poached with red peppers in tomato sauce served with a small *loaf* of country bread is another good choice. Another time I shared two salads with a friend. Farmer and grain bowl were both excellent. Not the best iced tea - stick with coffee. Meatballs were o.k. - just get some more lamb eggs benedict. The space is fabulous in the summertime with outdoor seating, windows that open to the street and an airy space with fans and A/C. The artwork and decor is attractive and unique. Good for a date, but could definitely accommodate groups as well. There's also bar seating. All seats in the place have a good view-they have a projector for showing sports matches when there's something important (e.g., World Cup).

We got bottomless mimosas here and it was great! Awesome bartender super friendly!

Really great food, good prices, and friendly staff. The Shakshouka was really delicious. Think they’ve worked out most of the service issues from other reviews. Great art and a cool vibe to the place. Definitely worth trying out.

We stopped in here for dinner after seeing Still at The Sheen Center. The atmosphere was so welcoming. Nakea took care of us and we loved the food. Had a great experience with Mediterranean food with Israeli Mix Tapas. The Golan Nights entree was delicious. Thanks for a great night, especially after a disturbing encounter with the usher at The Sheen Center. If in the area, be sure to stop in. Their drinks were terrific a well.

Artichokes are the best!! So delicious!! Unfortunately didn’t take a pic, because was so good! And bread for shakshuka 🤤🤤🤤 Friendly staff

Amazing food, atmosphere and customer service. Nikia made our bday weekend so special! Highly recommend!!

Excellent drinks the bar tender/ waitress went out of her way to make a custom drink for me a lot of seafood the menu was a little difficult but the bartender helped me explain what the menu translated into and the appetizers and the main entree were excellent

100% recomendado!!! Amo este lugar! Love this restaurant!! The hummus with eggplant and eggs and pita bread was the best! The staff very friendly! Excellent service and spot! I went with my babies 🐶🐶 We felt very welcome! Pet friendly and nice!!

Had espresso martinis, labneh, and babaghanouj - they were all great. The bartender was really good too. Would definitely recommend this place!

WE LOVE GALANS he’s the besttttt made our experience a 10/10 will be back

First time in Local 92 SoHo and YOU have to go! It’s the cutest little spot with amazing food. The Frozen Margaritas are to die for. THEY WERE FIRE!! The service we received was so amazing and we will definitely be back again. They made us feel welcomed and gave us an amazing experience.

I stumbled on to this incredible chill spot artsy rustic vibe creates the perfect vibe to sit and sip. The Burrata is divine! Ask for Eric

Love this place, best treat I got, , look for Nakia, she is fantastic, best server. makes u feel at home, her vibe is incredible and lovely. Recommended.

One of the most impressive dishes I ever tried lukas the manager made it well, nakia and Mariano as a bartenders is wow impressive drinks.. is a warm staff in there food is well…

Stopped to grab something to eat and loved this place. The decor is very cool, service was nice and food was yummy.

Had the best time at local 92! The atmosphere is chic and the food was delicious. Definitely coming back!

The pepperoni pizza 🍕 was so cheesy! Hot and delicious. The Fried Calamari was good too. Small but good.

The food and vibes were incredible. Kelvin, our waiter, was unreal. If you ever pull up, hopefully he’s the one taking care of you. He served us incredibly well especially for a party of 13.

“great place. The service and food are great. The drinks are to die for. Our server winni was the nicest and made sure we got everything how we asked for. 10/10 recommend”

Amazing place, where could I start from: lights, music, and the whole vibe were so spot on, we sat down the waitress Veronika pampered us all night, and the drinks were amazing, the bartender had excellent knowledge about what he does, I'll definitely recommend it

Had a wonderful brunch here, I recommend the avocado breakfast and mimosas. Super friendly staff that added to a great experience!

We came here after seeing that Little Rubys had a long wait and were meaning to go to Grey Dog but accidentally stumbled onto here. The staff was so kind and everything was delicious. We sat outside and it was a lovely lunch :)

We had a fantastic time at Local 92 on Mulberry St. last night! Our server was the BEST, the meatballs were really yummy, and the drinks were giving 👏🏻. Highly recommend! The bartender makes a great Bay Breeze shot and even went out to the nearby market for fresh mint leaves for a mojito my friend ordered. We stopped in for 1 drink and ended up staying for 3 hours. You won’t regret stopping here.

Fantastic place in the heart of Little Italy! Food was amazing, every dish was executed perfectly. Everything was very fresh, homemade and delicious. Good portions as well for the price. Highly recommend the Israeli meatballs, whether as an app or with some spaghetti. Spaghetti and meatballs - the spaghetti was perfectly al dente and the sauce was fresh and full of flavor. The burger was perfectly cooked and seasoned well. Even the fries were crispy fresh. The lamb kebobs were excellent, great flavor and a good balance with the yogurt sauce. My only critique was that the service was a tad slow for my liking, but all in all it didn't take away from my experience. Restaurant was clean and had a very interesting vibe. Overall definitely recommend!

Found this place on our way to another restaurant. The vibe pulled is in the door, the server, Erick was TOP and the food even better. We had lobster ravioli and the Mediterranean sampler for apps.

It was a huge pleasure working with the team at Local 92 (David, Marco, Lucas, Jasmine and all the other staff members!) and hosting my birthday at the venue. The team was super responsive and answered all my questions (and even jumping on a call with me on a Sunday night)! I loved how the space can be divided into both the main restaurant and the speakeasy (Blue Quarter) so I could have two different vibes and two different playlists going at my event (you can easily connect to the sound system with bluetooth). The entire team was such wonderful people and made all of my friends and me feel so welcomed and at home. We loved the exposed brick, vibe-y lights and fun art around the restaurant -- definitely many places to take some fun photos for the memories. Will have to come back here for more great food and definitely recommend to anyone else looking for a great space to host their events!!

Great Israeli restaurant! As an Israeli, I'm hard to impress with mediterranean food in nyc, but there are a few good Israeli restaurants here. I just happen to hear about this one and it became an instant favorite of mine. The shakshuka was delicious and if you choose to add feta or eggplant it gets even better. The portions are very generous and the prices are fairly reasonable. Very recommended place!

We came here for my friends birthday the first time and it was great, I came back today because I couldn’t stop thinking about the amazing salmon with mashed potatoes, and vegetables. Our server was insanely nice, overall is always a great experience. Will be back soon!

A lovely surprise on Christmas Day of all days… stumbled into this place whilst avoiding family, had an order of the fillet croquettes and the burrata , a couple espresso martinis- wow! All delicious- can’t wait to go back for a full meal! Service was also ridiculously awesome!!!

Short answer: this place was great! I’d recommend for anyone in the area looking for some decent food and a great view and atmosphere! The atmosphere of the entire place was stunning. The interior was well decorated and had a very cohesive theme. That outside held up to the same standard, very quaint and cozy feeling that made it feel very welcoming and inviting. The service was also very excellent. The staff here were so friendly and very accommodating. They always made sure everything was ok and did their best to make us feel comfortable and happy during our meal. The food however was a little lack luster. We ordered the Margarita pizza, the spaghetti and meatballs, the OCD Chopped Salad and the Israeli Hangover Pita. The spaghetti and chopped salad were very middle of the pack, nothing inherently bad but also just not that spectacular. The pizza however was definitely the star of the show, one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had! I’d come back just for the pizza. The Pita left more to be desired, the meat was tough and the filling was a little lack luster. If you’re coming to this restaurant, I’d definitely recommend the pizza!

Food was pretty exceptional during lunchtime. I was with some friends celebrating a birthday a couple weeks ago, the wait time wasn’t the best. And I’m not talking about getting a table but when we did finally get a table, they took a long while to take our order and we were all very much starving. From seating to getting our food it was an hour. They may have had a shortage of waiters that day, I’m not sure. Other than that, food was delicious.

Flying solo today. Time to up the ante on l exploring those back streets of popular and not so popular places of NYC. From #littleitalynyc to #chinatownnyc and everything in between, it was a walk of discovery that cements my reason for travelling. People. Food. Culture. Plus expanding my world view and as always - humbling. I ended up in the popular part of town #littleitalynyc at happy hour. I found @local92nyc in #mulberrystreet which somehow drew me in for its happy hour and I stayed for two. Texted JT to join me and we were reunited for another NYC experience. Although I didn’t have a meal, I will return, just on the superb service I received. Wanthy and Eric were my hosts and wow! What a great team. So friendly, accomodating and focussed on their guests. Thank you. The menu is enticing and certainly the interior design itself should draw people in. Bonus although that’s not the right word, I ended up chatting to Adam who recognised my accent. We chatted for two hours. It was a tough day for him yet he shared his story and we united on the grief of losing a parent. His mother was a nurse through the Covid pandemic, in particular working with the elderly. Before I left he thanked me for “listening and not judging”. Say no more. A reminder to thank those front line workers during that tumultuous time of 2020/2021. Today was a day of reawakening. Being amongst the locals and the communities that make up NYC. I’m somewhat speechless as I write this. My cup is full. #thewanderingreviewer #local92 #local92nyc #local92soho #sohorestaurant #sohorestaurants #sohocafe

The food was good, different. I asked for the avocado toast to have scrambled eggs and they also brought the poached eggs scrambled. Service was very slow when we went. The place is beautiful

Overpriced drinks but they have a cool terrace and a short tenor happy hour during weekdays only from 3pm to 6pm.

Amazing little spot down in soho and the night I went got the host with the most. He was super attentive and friendly. The drinks were great, and the FML mojito was everything. The food was also great, I got the lamb kebobs with the lebnah which was delightful. A friend got the steak which was also done nicely. Ambiance was cute and the noise level wasn't to high.

Came with some friends tonight. It was a good time. I had the artichoke and the Burrata Ravioli. Delicious for me. My friends enjoyed their food but the schnitzel and lamb sliders could have used more seasoning.

Beautiful restaurant. The French toast was Mediterranean style and to my surprise absolutely delicious. They whipped goat cheese and placed berry on top. I will definitely return.

Came here for brunch. Food was well prepared, but what really stood out was the sauces. The homemade hot sauce and the chipotle aioli were delicious. Recommend this place if you’re looking for solid food with a middle eastern flair.

Very delicious food in a busy Mediterranean bar. We had some issues with the service, because we didn’t get a menu for half an hour and just ignored our questions about it.

Visited for brunch - $20 bottomless mimosas was great! avocado toast with eggs were so yum! calamari was good too, french toast tasted fantastic. the service was wonderful, definitely would come back again.

I loved the vibe of this place. It wasn’t super crowded for Saturday brunch and everything I tried was super tasty. I can’t recommend the Shakshuka or the French toast enough

Have been here several times to check out Blue Quarter, the speakeasy in the back (go through the blue door if you haven't heard of it!). Finally got a chance to try the food through a Crave deal that was 20% off. Been wanting to try the lamb shank for awhile and it did not disappoint. They have happy hour deals every day on different menu items, and an all day happy hour on Mondays. Try it!

The food was great! Their carbonara was amazing. We shared three entrees, large portions and each had a warm character all its own. Food 5 stars, cocktails 3 for small portions, atmosphere 3 - too dark New ownership, menu, and a good vibe. Staff will figure it out -

It was a rather average restaurant experience in New York. The food was fine and pleasant enough, but nothing really stood out or felt memorable. The flavors were correct, yet it lacked that extra element that would make the meal feel special or worth talking about afterward. Overall, it wasn’t a bad choice, just not one you would go out of your way to recommend.

I really really wish I could give more stars to this spot. Service is awesome and vibe is warm and comfortable. Food needs to speak by itself, and it needs to speak even louder when every price in front of the guest is over $19. Sadly, food here doesn’t speak that price tag. Nothing really stood out as special and sauces were lacking of flavor. Lobster sauce in lob ravioli was really nice. The shakshouka was fresh and tomato-ey which is nice, but was hoping for a little more excitement (personal note… some might like this.) 3 tapas mezze was ok. Not great and overpriced. The paella was a letdown. At first my peeps and I thought couscous paella sounded like an odd idea but we decided to try it. It’s definitely an idea, not a great one tho. Interesting concept, but not humble, tasteful, simple and magnificent enough to call it paella. Props for the badass foh team and yogurt. I will come back for a vibe and to give the food another chance and hope to be surprised!

They're in short of staff and it took 1 hour to get my coffee and food. Besides that the place is nice and food is good

Food was fabulous, especially the lamb. But service could certainly be better. We rarely saw our server and waited over 20 minutes before finally flagging him down for the check. At the end we needed to split the check, and were asked to do that work ourselves. Felt unprofessional, and eventually got fed up and put it in one tab.

My friend and I went here for dinner last week and overall it was a nice experience. Shame though it was completely empty. We shared the scallops which were delicious. My branzino was also an excellent portion size and tasted decent. My friend though said her steak was nothing special despite the large portion size. Unfortunately, the chocolate mousse cake was AWFUL. Literally the worst dessert I may have ever had. Dry and just tasted awful. Our lovely Albanian waiter was cheerful and solicitous.

Obviously a poorly managed restaurant with too few and overworked waiters. We waited a very long time for our food, as did the other guests around us. Some of the silverware was missing and was only brought after repeated requests. My Margherita pizza could hardly be called a pizza. The dough was hard, it had been in the oven too long, and it had way too much cheese. Any frozen pizza at home tastes better! The waitress tried very hard and was very nice, but she couldn't hide the overall poor quality. Overall not recommendable.

Food is not very good. Plain, not well plated. One of the scallops was cut in half. Food took over an hour to bring appetizers, and one of our party’s entrees came 15 minutes after the others. Service was slow (30 minutes to get water)

NYC has so many restaurants. In this block alone, you have a whole selection of choices. This makes for a competitive environment where each place has to stand out. Sometimes you might not care about the service because the food is superb. Local 92 was not that place. The food was fine but the service was nothing like we experienced eating out at various places each of the four days we stayed in NYC. We might have come at a shift change because after the very friendly waitress sat us down, we were forgotten. Her replacement seemed annoyed and more interested in doing other things at a time when the restaurant was not at full capacity. He came to our table three times: Once to take the order, the other time when we had to get an extra placement for our party of five and then when we asked for the bill. I don't need a server to come all the time but at least engage and be some what friendly, not act as you are doing a huge favor. I do have to say that the hostess was friendly and the busboy were the saving grace of the experience. The busboy was attentive and top of his game. As for the food, NYC has so many places where you can get fine food at cool places.

TERRIBLE FOOD. Hard pasta and smelly tasting and dirty strawberry. But we had a very nice and funny server. Never coming back again.

Really stinks this was the last meal of our week long stay in the city. Oh wait, it wasn't, because we had to go get another meal afterward for one of our party who couldn't even eat their food. Not only did they not serve the proper items, they made no apologies and barely spoke or acted like we existed. Their manners are lacking profusely. They need to read their menu and listen to their customers so they know what comes with each meal. We had at least three things on the menu not come with our meal and it was not described that the pita sandwich would be fried.We overheard them offer a table behind us free shots for a good review. Pretty atmosphere, good mixed salad. That's the nicest thing I can say.

Upon stepping into the venue, I couldn't help but sense an unsettling discord in the feng shui. Art pieces seemed haphazardly strewn across the walls, almost as if seeking escape. The cacophony of music, dominated by the relentless beats of top 50 Ariana Grande hits, only added to the dissonance. Yet, amidst the chaos, a beacon of warmth emerged in the form of my server – a well mannered, young soul from Argentina. As I delved into the culinary offerings, my palate encountered a disheartening symphony of mediocrity. Each spread boasted an overwhelming creaminess, while the chicken tagine, much to my dismay, exuded a sweetness rivaling Willy Wonka's confectionery realm. Alas, the flavors failed to evoke the nostalgic essence of tradition I had anticipated. The libations, regrettably, offered little respite, serving only as vessels for an unrelenting sugar rush. In conclusion, I implore you: spare yourself the disappointment. This establishment, despite its fleeting moments of hospitality, is best left unexplored. May providence guide your culinary adventures henceforth. God bless.

The shakshuka is awful. Don’t let the other reviews fool you. The bread paired with it is cheap. The consistency is lacking; it’s so runny. This is the worst shakshuka I ever had. Complete waste of my money.

We had a disappointing experience at Local 92. While the food itself was decent, the service was awful. When it came time to pay, the staff were sneaky and failed to mention that a 20% gratuity had already been added to the bill. This auto-gratuity isn’t listed anywhere on the menu, and instead of being transparent, they presented the tip screen as if nothing had been added. When we called afterward to correct the mistake, they dodged responsibility and only refunded part of the money. After looking up other reviews, it turns out this isn’t the first time this has happened. Just a heads-up to anyone considering dining here —be very careful when paying your bill.

Absolutely horrible service. Everything took forever to show up. I understand they are busy but the workflow is all over the place. One of many examples, we ordered a burger 20 minutes after placing our food order for a friend showing up late. They brought out the burger but an empty fry basket. Honestly comical service. Highly encourage not coming here

Really terrible service. The waitress was apparently new and messed up our order resulting in us waiting absolutely ages for our food to arrive. The manageress made bo attempt to rectify the problem and just blamed it on her staff. She then started berating the new staff member in plain sight of us. Food was ok but service was terrible from start to finish. Wish I’d done a runner to be honest as they wouldn’t have noticed until ling after we’d gone.

This place is filthy!! Huge pile of garbage every day out front for years! Rats everywhere! Always there a puddle of steaming green garbage juice that wafts into the seating area. I spoke to the manager and he had the audacity to tell me it was all legal and not his fault of the city didn’t pick it up. When he well knows he is required by law to get a private carter. I don’t know how they have not been shut down yet. The food is also tasteless and mediocre. Cheap ingredients. No wonder, considering how cheap the owner Marcelo is.

Scamish, avoid. As others have mentioned, they are sneaky about the auto gratuity, not giving you the break down and just presenting you the tip selection. Staff was nice tho and after we called it out they were accommodating. I am guessing they are just following managements orders. Food was fine.
