   The food is delicious, the staff is wonderful, and their menu is DF/GF friendly. Only thing I wish we had noticed ahead of making the reservation is that the menu is quite pricey. The naive traveler may like to know that a table of 3, without appetizers or alcohol, can count on sounding around $120-$150 for dinner (including tip).

   Arrived in time for a Monday brunch. I had the steak and eggs and my wife had the shrimp and grits, with some beignets to start with. Everything was delicious, looked as good as it tasted. Our server was excellent as always at The Blackbird.

   Food was overpriced and lack luster. I got the shrimp and grits which was more like a soup

   Everything about this restaurant was superb. Our lovely server provided excellent cheese and meat recommendations for our charcuterie board, the scallops were divine, cocktails and wine were also excellent choices. She helped us make a shrimp dish with risotto for a picky eater. The daily fish special was a white fish from the FL West Coast and salmon from Scotland were both chef’s kiss! Highly recommend and will go back.

    Every aspect of our meal was beyond expectations! Amazing Bloody Mary! Coconut cinnamon toast app was simple but had us wanting another, the goat cheese omelet was breathtaking, the steak and eggs was perfect! Oh and don't miss the french press coffee.

    My husband and I ordered Cold Smoked Thick Cut Heritage Pork Chop. The pork Chop was bland. Needed more seasoning for our taste. There accompanying sides were ok. Nothing to brag about. But must say the service was superb. My daughter and I really enjoyed the appetizers. She enjoyed your vegan vegetable dish. Sorry I do not remember what she ordered exactly. Only took pics of appetzers.

    Went to Black Bird for Mother,s Day Brunch. Made a reservation, table was ready upon arrival. Service was good, nice selection of food to choose from on the menu. Nice relaxing, no rush brunch with my wife. The food was excellent. I would recommend the Black Birds to anyone looking for a unique dining experience

    Went for Mother’s Day. Took 45 minutes to get two meals. 3 other tables that came in after us got their food first. VERY slow service and the worst bloody Mary’s, tasted like tomato juice and were $15 ea. Far better places to spend $100 for two meals and a few drinks. Won’t be back.

    Excellent food. Excellent service. Came back for brunch it was so good. The only negative was the noise outside the restaurant that comes from trucks revving up their engines continuously downtown. Outside of their control but highly unpleasant.

    Took a late seating at 8pm. Tables are too close together with chairs back to back making for a poor dining experience as chairs have no choice but to touch. Food prep was 60 minutes even the manager recognized too long and deducted one entree.

    There are definitely things I like about Blackbird. Brunch, vibe, and bartender Nicole, yes. Dinner, no. Considering how great brunch is we were disappointed by dinner. I had high hopes for the unique goat cheese and corn pie, but it was a mess. The wilted greens were so acidic I couldn’t eat and the mushrooms were full size and rubbery, all of which took away from the smothered pie itself (which had no crust that I could see). I hate writing bad reviews but do not order that dish. The market catch blackened mahi and seared asparagus were delicious, but were accompanied by a bland, plain risotto (it was nicely creamy though). So, dinner was a hit-or-miss :(

    OK, this was an early Sunday dinner (slow time). The cocktails were marginal at best. The trout was great! They seem to be in recovery. On a 1-10 scale, drinks 2, food 8. Honest from Lexington

    Most if our dishes were simple but prepared and presented well. Our server at brunch on Sunday was very flexible and kind when working with one of our party dealing with relatively new food densities. The corned beef hash with eggs was particularly delicious.

    The food was good but it was an extraordinarily long time to receive it. Main problem was the windows were open and there were frequent ambulances and motorcycles going by

    A noisy dinner with good food and drinks. The server as stressed and a bit overworked. The wine list was decent. Very loud as the tables are too close together and the atmosphere is loud and fit for a bachelorette party, but not a quite evening for couples.

    While the food was O.K. I felt that the reviews I read here overrated this restaurant. I ordered the steak tartare and it was so bland and under seasoned we had to ask for salt and pepper. The NC trout was O.K. — but not anything to rave about. The service was also, just O.K. I will not be recommending this restaurant or will I return.

    I sent the duck breast back because I could not cut through it with the steak knife. It was rubbery and gristly. The entree I ordered to replace the duck breast never arrived. My dining companions finished their meals, the waiter kept apologizing, and I finally said to forget it because everyone else was done. At that point I was offered a free dessert, which I declined.
