We were seated immediately for our 5:30 pm reservation. Our server, Juquon, was friendly, informative,and prompt.The food was amazing, starting with our appetizer of butternut squash bisque, which was more than amazing, I could drink a gallon of it. Every dish to follow was fantastic, I've never been to a restaurant where every solitary dish tasted great. No complaints can't wait to go back. Make sure you try the sweet potato bread pudding for dessert.

This place was a 10/10! If you have a special occasion to celebrate, do not hesitate! Our server, Sammie, was delightful and the venue is gorgeous - Old school classy but not stuffy. We are foodies from New Orleans where food is a Way of life and this place was on par with some of the best in NOLA. We had the steak tartar, the Brussel sprouts, the swordfish, the Cobia, and the short ribs. Highly recommend all. We also enjoyed several inventive cocktails. All around great experience!

A first impression is ever lasting. I've eaten at restaurants all around this area and never notice Blackwall Hitch. The food, service and ambience were outstanding. This was a business meeting, however, I will be returning for a personal experience as well.

Lots of extra little touches that made the dishes special: the foamy mignonette on the oysters, the crunchy bites and pickled mushrooms on the beef tartare. Pre-pandemic, table side dishes such as classic Caesar salad and duck a la presse were on the menu- we can understand not having them all the time, but hopefully they’re not gone for good.
