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

Great cocktails, fun lively atmosphere and great service. Food good but not great and really loud… too loud to have meaningful conversation.

Great drinks and food. I had the Alibi Gin & Tonic and for dinner I had a special which was seared ahi tuna encrusted with earl gray and then on a bed of pickled vegetables with a soy ginger sauce! Delicious and the service was great!

Great service from Evan. French fries were perfect. Burger cooked as ordered and tasty. Lobster fra diavolo was a hit. Cocktails were good. It was more noisy than we would have liked but not intolerable. Will be back.

Disappointed from start to finish food was overpriced and not great. The chicken tiki was okay but the flavor of the Shepard’s pie also had an Indian flavor, very odd? Liked the onion soup with sourdough but not chopped onions. Didn’t see our waitress for close to ten minutes when seated, and had to ask for water. Room in front is ignored, and while we saw three separate servers come and go inclusive own- -logistically, that room is off the beaten track and one server making sure customers have attention would make more sense than three separate who obviously have tables elsewhere… Weird bag doesn’t fit to go containers?
