    It had been a long time since we’d been able to dine at BB but realized how much we missed it. Cocktails were perfect. Everyone’s meal in the group of 4 enjoyed their meal and we all had coconut cake. We will be back.

    The food was mediocre and the service was just ok. I paid $240 bucks for food that I could have cooked myself for $60. The girlfriend wasn’t happy either

    The service was very slow. Waited about an hour and a half from when entre was ordered. The main meal was very ordinary. Appetizers were excellent Not up to its usual standards.
    The BlackbirdResponded on December 6, 2024
    Hello Phyllis Hello as the Chef Owner we always try to hit the highest of standards every time, unfortunately I was not there that night. So I have done a bit of research and my line cook, who is relatively young in the restaurant business, dropped 2 of your main courses for the table on the ground and was embarrassed to say anything and just remade all of them. Again this is not acceptable and we will make sure your next experience is up to our and your standards. Chef Michael Reppert
