About this restaurant

  • Great for happy hour
  • Lively
  • Charming
Welcome to The Black Swan. Inspired by the pubs I fell in love with on my various travels, this re-interpretation of the neighborhood Public House represents an eclectic and updated take on the traditional pub. The Black Swan explores, embraces and combines various cultural influences to appeal to different tastes, offering unique and innovative dishes like Indian-inspired curries and pastas alongside more classic dishes like Shepherd’s Pie and Fish and Chips. I purposefully divided the restaurant into four distinct areas in order to offer something for everyone and I encourage all our neighbors to stop in at any hour, day or night. So come raise a glass with me at The Black Swan Public House, where everyone is Welcome. - Chef James

    Made a reservation for 4:30pm, special occasion, first time at that restaurant, went on a date, thought the restaurant would do something special or send out the executive chef that they promote so much, food was delicious, I had the salmon, cocktail drinks were great as well, unfortunately, service fell short, most notable thing was my glass, it was cracked and chipped at the top, almost cut my lip, waiter says he and bartender checked the drink before it arrived to the table, and secondly, we weren't offered sparkling or bottled water, but rather served us filtered water, why would the waiter ask the other table but not ask me, would have gladly payed extra for sparkling had I known the restaurant served it.

    Friendly service, nice vibe, overpriced and average food, may return for a drink and apps, but disappointing as a dining experience.
