Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Black Lab Bistro consistently delivers "excellent food" and attentive service in a cozy setting. Known for its delightful seafood and steak, standout dishes include scallops and the Fishermen's Platter. A BYOB policy adds charm to this Phoenixville gem. While some note pricing and ambiance could improve, the overall experience is "exceptional."

    Black Lab is one of our favorites, even for those special occasions. It is difficult to make meal choices because there are so many delicious items on the menu. Can’t make a bad choice. Being a BYOB is a bonus. It can get a bit loud when the restaurant is crowded.

    Food was excellent! We shared the wontons which had this amazing sauce. I got the scallops and they were cooked perfectly, and my partner got the short ribs which were also fantastic (super tender!). Then for dessert the cinnamon bun ice cream sandwich was mind blowing. Our server was so sweet. We will be back!

    Excellent food! We enjoyed everything and it was super nice to watch the street from our table. We came on a quieter day and it was very pleasant.

    The food was exceptional. Only sorry they don't have a liquor license or that we knew in advance to buy a bottle of wine.

    I have eaten at Black Lab Bistro many times over the years and the food is consistently good. I will say it was a bit pricier this time, but still good. I went with a friend and it wasn’t too crowded at the time so the noise level was not bad. It is a small place. The waiter was very attentive and did’t bother us as we stayed awhile to talk. I will be coming back again.

    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.
