    Meal and service were fantastic. The restaurant was very accommodating of my daughter’s food allergies. Highly recommend. The server (who has waited on us before) made a great wine suggestion. He actually offered a better and cheaper selection than I was considering. Great place that would shine in the West or East Villages in Manhattan.

    We ordered a paper plane and the picante cocktails. Delicious! The trout and scallop risotto was exceptional. My husband tried the salmon special. The fish was cooked to perfection. Definitely will be a repeat restaurant for us.

    We were really delighted with our experience at the Blackbird. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and there were many choices for vegetarians and vegans. The portions were very generous and we can't say enough. Good things about the place. It is definitely a neighborhood gem

    We had a really great experience all around. Starting at the door, then the bar, and at the dinner table. Everyone was friendly and attentive. There were so many drinks and food items that we wanted to order, we couldn't decide. The ones we chose were wonderful. We started with the bone marrow, then proceeded to enjoy a duck entree, along with a trout/scallop risotto. Then a delicious peach dessert, with a pecan crust. yummm. Would recommend to anyone!

    Atmosphere is a bit streamlined but the food and service are 5star all the way. Our server was a great menu guide, was there when we needed her but did not hover. Loved the brussels and pork chop, my guests ordered fish and duck - everyone was really happy. Cocktail/Wine service was prompt and had great options. We will be back next time we are in town...!
