Booked a reservation one week in advance and arrived on time at 5:45 pm to the restaurant. The hostess immediately escorted us to the first table located at the door and right near the hostess stand despite many, many, many open tables seemingly available. We requested another table outside the door entryway and she sourly stated “I will see what I can do.” We were then escorted to a table further away from the door, however, that pretty much set the mood for the evening. We arrived during “Happy Hour” and the noise from patrons socializing at the bar was pretty loud but the norm for most restaurant Happy Hours. Our waitress was good, not overly attentive but adequate. We ordered the drinks from the bar which took a long time to arrive. In fact our soups which were good arrived before our drinks. I thought the French Onion Soup was one of the best I’ve had. About ten minutes after placing our entree order I was informed that the kitchen was out of chicken. We thought this was odd given our early dining time but then requested the short ribs entree. Shrimp and Grits were dryer than he liked and my short rib entree was tasty but extremely mushy. Portion size was great and the fresh vegetables were excellently prepared. Baking Powder biscuits were provided with the soup and were quite fluffy although not really warm. House salad was good and served with a vinaigrette that was flavorless but requested and received a different dressing. I don’t recommend the dessert though. Peach Cobbler is peaches poured over biscuits which I also considered very doughy and dry.

The food was OK, I had higher expectations for the price point. It was LOUD, like really loud, and trying to have conversation was a challenge. The server was very nice and helpful with menu selections.

I absolutely enjoy visiting Blackwell Barn. The ambiance is very nice, the food and drinks are very good and affordable. I do have 3 complaints. First, I had a reservation for 6:15 pm (Friday night) and I was not seated until 6:45 pm. I went to question what was going on, and the hostess informed me that people were staying at their tables longer than expected. I did not like this. Second, I reserved a standard table, but received a high table. I did not ask for this, nor did I like it, but I was starving and just took the seat. The high-top tables are very small. You cannot have an appetizer, entree, and drinks on the same table. Third, the noise pollution was INSANE! I could not have a conversation with my son because people were talking so loud!!! I did enjoy meeting and speaking with the outstanding General Manager, Chris Bassett. He was very well-dressed, welcoming, and very pleasant.

The booking and check-in experience for Sunday Brunch was very difficult and the staff handling both were not very friendly or helpful. Management did step in and was able to accommodate us for my birthday celebration. We had an amazing time once we were seated, we had the best server, and all of the food was delicious. I highly recommend getting a table in the back near the brunch buffet if you have a choice, the ambiance is such a good time back there and they even had live music. Up front was a bit stuffy and uncomfortable, I wouldn’t want to sit up there if I had a choice.

Incredible servers! My guests and I were so impressed with the restaurant owner and managers. When guests needed to be seated...they did it. When a table needed to be cleared off...they did it. When the "higher-ups" can roll up their sleeves to help out, Blackwall Barn and Lodge, I will be a frequent customer. One this particular evening, my food was extremely salty. That is the only reason for my 4-Star rating. But, everything else was perfect!

First off, if you haven’t visited and are considering, go, just go… We both had the specials, scallops and shrimp with risotto and asparagus and the fried veal special with potatoes and asparagus. Both were excellent but they weren’t what made the experience phenomenal. BRONTE!!!! Bronte was our server and she was perfection!! She was busy, had several tables and seemed to be everywhere, all at once but with grace and poise. Her smile lights up the place and her genuine care makes you feel like you’re visiting a 3-star Michelin restaurant. Food was outstanding, ambiance is welcoming and comfortable but Bronte made the entire experience unforgettable.

Blackwall is always worth the ride. The food was great along with the variety. The fact that there doesn't seem to be a specific server, but instead any server walking by that will help is great! The noise level is loud bit not bothersome because everyone is just enjoying themselves.

My husband and I had our first dinner there as Mr. And Mrs. and it was perfect. We sat by the fireplace, had delicious food, drinks and an outstanding server, Tom. We were greeted by awesome hosts, and attentive workers. It was lovely, definitely would return.

Although the food consistently meets our expectations, the inadequate reservation system and service will lead us to explore other brunch options. While the waitstaff is friendly and attentive, it appears that they have too much on their plates. Unfortunately, we have experienced multiple occasions where we have waited 25-40 minutes beyond our booked time. We will certainly return to the establishment, but we will be refraining from brunch during our future visits.

Elliott, thank you for sharing your review-we are disappointed to hear that your most recent service experience was subpar, something for which we can offer no excuse. If you would kindly email us at info@barnandlodge.c0m with a copy of your review, date dined & location, we will work hard to address our team and ensure this doesn't happen again.

Wait times to be seated exceeded 30 minutes with a reservation. Customers who exceed 90 minute dining experience should be assessed a fee for doing so.

The brunch buffet with mimosas was great. A good variety of things to eat. Some items ran low and weren’t replenished so that could be better. The omelette station also had a long line which I had to skip. Otherwise, it was a great value and I will definitely come again
