Very disappointing: our window seat reservations, made one week in advance, were ignored. The restaurant was empty, except for the row of tables by the window, we’re filled with other guests. Other than that, the service was fine and three out of four of us enjoyed our meals. My fisherman’s platter was excellent, but don’t order the $29 fish tacos. My husband said the fish was old and had a strong ammonia taste. He could not wait to get home to brush his teeth. I’m not sure we’ll be back.

I had a very simple breakfast with pancakes, but the pancakes were dry, and my eggs were overcooked. The waitress rarely came over or even looked our way. All in all the meal was mediocre at best.

This has become our favorite brunch spot. The service is always fantastic and the food always delicious. They have some great omelet options! It is a BYOB. You can make reservations, I typically do, but you don't always need one. I can't wait for it to be warm enough to sit outside!

Black Lab never disappoints! Owners are welcoming and friendly. Everything from the fantastic appetizers like lobster bisque to entrees such as scallops, filet and butternut squash ravioli are always consistent and delicious. Can’t forget to end with cinnamon roll with ice cream, crème brûlée or flourless chocolate cake. The best in phoenixville!

Service was very slow and the server was not warm or hospitable. There are too many places on Bridge to eat to come back here.

The food didn’t meet expectations but it was ok. Mine came out cold and the calamari’s texture was a little soggy. We did enjoy sitting outside and people watching to pass time while we waited for our entrees.
