“Another great meal experience was a late dinner at the restaurant Local 11 Ten, on a quiet block on the south end of Forsyth Park. We’d arrived in the rain during a tornado warning, but in the restaurant’s mix of organic and sleek décor—with lots of dark wood and cream-painted brick walls—I kept thinking we’d found exactly the right place to watch a storm. Raindrops streamed down the wall of Local’s tall windows, and moss swayed with the wind in the tree branches outside. Meanwhile, there I was in a white leather banquette, with a glass of red wine and a plate of seared quail on spoonbread in front of me. At that moment, all seemed comforting, delicious, and right with the world…A gourmet seasonal menu in a modern revamp of a mid-20th-century bank building.”- Charleston Magazine, March 2009

"I’ve enjoyed some fabulous meals in this sleekly overhauled bank building, but even when I’m not eating, I rely on Colombian-born bartender Deya Rairan for expertly crafted mojitos and cucumber-laden Hendrick’s gin and tonics. -- Garden & Gun, January 2009

Named "Best New Restaurant" by Connect Savannah, May 2008

"The renovation of this former bank is beautiful and the former drive-thru area makes a fine location for al fresco seating..." -- SavannahNow.com, June 2007

“For a variety of reasons - from its unusual menu to its location - the new restaurant Local 11 ten is likely to have a big impact on the downtown scene.” -- SavannahNow.com, April 2007

“The restaurant is in an edgy, still-developing part of the historic district, off Forsyth Park. But as we pull up, we’re drawn into the subtle, low-key lighting of this former bank (one room is the cork-lined vault), the pebble-floored patio out back and, and within a few minutes of our seating, the professionalism of the wait staff…The dining room burbles with lively conversation – and tables are spaced far enough apart that you don’t have to hear your neighbors. The wine list reflects the menu’s Mediterranean influences, with lots of French, Spanish and Italian labels… But it’s a breath of fresh arugula in Savannah, where a strong local dining scene nevertheless suffers from sameness.” -- Georgia Trend Magazine, 2007
