"Locust was a culinary cavalcade!! We had the whole lunch menu except for the salad. We started with the Guinness with the black currant adder. It was great! We talked with them about the seasoned tap equipment they use to try to hold true to the Dublin distillery. Then we went to the razor clams. That was a spectacular highlight. The center slice and add a lemon flavor inside that really enhances the flavor. We went all in with the caviar that added the potato bread and delectable butter. We were hesitant, but friends told us we had to try the beef tartare. We’re sure glad we did. It was fun making rolls with the beef and sticky rice. Another amazing dish was the lamb dumplings. The flavors were phenomenal. We finished the mains off with the makeral and the egg rice and then the hot swordfish!! What an amazing and unique twist on swordfish. We followed Ben’s recommendation to save a little caviar to put on top of the swordfish. Great callout!! The honeycomb topper was my personal favorite with the swordfish. We finished with the ice, tea, raspberry dessert. I loved getting into the bottom of the dish to get the honeycomb. Presentation was top notch. One final note was the staff was great greeting us when we entered and engaging us throughout the meal. Trevor was our Irish chef connection that we enjoyed getting to know. We’ll be back whenever we can get one of the limited reservations that’s available at Locust!!!"

"Wow! What an incredible lunch. Left feeling satisfied and light on my feet. Everything was delicious. Full of flavor in every bite. I wish I could tell you my favorite plate but I loved them all the same."

"We have eaten all over the world and this restaurant cannot be missed. Michelin worthy and honestly surpasses. I love the states, but you just don’t get food like this state side—until Locust. It truly is as close as you can get to unique European dining. We felt like we were back in the Basque Country. Order the whole menu! We did 🤣. Actually, we missed one item and the waiter brought the one missing menu item on the house! You can’t beat small, lovely details like that. Their beverage menu was also super interesting, I tried orange wine—which I had never tried before!"

"Stellar service. The team was on their a-game and would check in/bring in the next meal when I was ready and I even got a freebie. The food was elevated and excellent and I’m enroute to my house tipsy, satisfied, and satiated. Locust deserves its newly minted recognition as a Michelin star restaurant."

"Rarely do I go out to eat these days because I am generally disappointed but my husband knows I cannot say no to Locust. It never disappoints. This was an absolutely amazing meal to celebrate our anniversary. When we enter the restaurant, we are consistently greeted warmly by the hostess and all of the chefs. Feels like home. And then there’s the food…. From the super fresh razor clams on the shell, to the inimitable beef tartare hand rolls that I can never get enough of, to the addictive potato bread with homemade butter and the melt in your mouth rib of wagyu beef with trio of sauces (the bearnaise I will never forget you). Chef Trevor transforms ingredients and coaxes flavors that are more than crave worthy for me. While I always get the shaved ice, I also tasted the Chef’s newest creation-a milk flavored frozen custard with seaweed salt. Dare I say my new favorite dessert? Oh well, looks like I’ll have to visit again. Locust never disappoints!"
