    My wife and I have enjoyed our past meals here but last evening's dinner was unfortunately our last. We started with pull-apart french bread that was very good and we took the remaining home. The salads were good, arugula for my wife and the mixed green Caesar for me. Portions were very generous but too much dressing on mine. Our entrees were very disappointing. My wife ordered the seared duck breast. We are not fans of a meal in a bowl (I guess currently the rage) and the potato puree was smeared around the bowl as if a spatula was used. The duck was not hot, underdone and tough while the swiss chard was overly salty. I ordered a tenderloin steak that was very good but not hot. It came with roasted carrots and fingerling potatoes (not much taste and too many). I suspect both meals sat for a while before served. We have also enjoyed the coconut cake but it has changed. Now one gets a square piece of cake that is almost more icing than cake. Sad to see.

    Hello William It’s unfortunate that you did not like the plating of the duck, the kale did not go with the dish if you had the succotash you might have liked it a bit more. As for the food not being hot please next time let us know we will always make any changes to your food to make you happy but if we don’t know about it until we get a review then we can’t do anything and it just hurts the Family owned business and there is no chance to fix any issues that you had. I hope you write us good reviews on your positive experiences and you try us again and if you let me know and maybe we can do something special.

    We enjoyed our brunch at Blackbird. Shay, our server was adorable. She was pleasant and very helpful with our selections. The restaurant was very busy (Easter Sunday), but her service was prompt and always with a smile
