It was a great night to dine outside so we did but boy did we regret it. The table next top us had a dog and it was not tied up and kept begging for food from us. There were 4 kids from a nearby table and the parents let run wild and scream around our table all night; the wait staff did northing to stop this. My dinner (Ahi tuna) was Fair at best..

We had to wait 20 minutes to be seated as they were short staffed. No our fault and we had reservations. Great to hear music and he was good although very loud and we had to shout over each other to talk. He needed to turn down the volume and it would have been perfect. Food was ok. Not great. My friend had a soggy salad with brown edges. The only 5 star was our waiter Christian who was amazing and went above and beyond. I think he was the bartender too. The Grille wouldn’t want to lose him.

Hi, We were very happy, but we did have to negotiate a bit to get good seating in a pretty much empty restaurant. At first he tried to put us in the bar, then way over by the kitchen. And then after we were seated and in a still empty restaurant, he put another group right next to us -- that made no sense! But the waitress was wonderful and the food was good. Minor nit: your brunch had very few interesting options for diabetics. It would be nice to have more egg options and have some substitutes for the starch -- cottage cheese is great. But we will be back.

MacGyver was great. I requested a picture of Duet Coke because we were sitting outside, and he was kind enough to provide one. It worked perfectly to keep us hydrated. Not sure what happened with the notes on my Open Table reservation, but there was no mention of my guest’s Birthday. This was the only miss in an otherwise great lunch.

Always great service. Good drinks, fantastic food, and a large menu. The dining room tends to be a bit quieter than the bar area. Outside dining is also available. I happen to be a big fan of the smoked baby back ribs. But there's something for everyone.

Visited this restaurant for the first time for my 41st birthday. Had requested we sit outside closets to the pond since the weather was beautiful! The ambiance is really nice. Everything was great but what made it memorial was our server Christian! Guy was rushing to get to us and he seemed really busy. However, in my opinion Christian made our first visit memorable. He was attentive polite and very professional! Our meals were amazing! Very well presented! We sat there for about an hour and half enjoying the cool breeze and watching the ducks bathing. As we were about to leave Christian stopped me and in his hand a board with a slice of Red Velvet Cake and a Happy Birthday written on the board. He said her over heard my fiancee saying happy birthday to me and he ended up surpring me with that beautiful presentation. We were not expecting that! Christian is one of the reasons we'd come back!

We sat outside by the water. It would have been perfect if the water was cleaned out but it is stagnant and very green with algae. The owner of the plaza should do something to clean it out.

We used to love Blackhawk grill. Unfortunately, the food and service was terrible. My halibut smelled fishy and the rest of my families food wasn’t great, especially for the price. Also, the service was not good. She rushed through everything from drinks to dessert. Piled plates on top of plates in front of us and the salads came out at the same time as the meals. Overall, poor quality across the board unfortunately.

Brunch or lunch on the patio is always pleasant in terms of the flow and timing of very nice and polite food servers checking on our table, food, drinks, etc. The food is always consistent from their Lunch Menu, nice variety of menu items, food is flavorful, nice food portions and drinks aren't watered down. Patio ambience is always pleasant and relaxing with the pond, ducks ducklings, and waterfall. And they are pet-friendly in the patio. Note my message below to the managers and owners of RAMANUJAN GROUP and DEBA SHYAM (real estate executive). Please start actively cleaning/filtering the algae and pond water (which at times smells like low tide, poor water quality) and a disgrace to the water fowl residents.

The food is very good. Their service is way above average. The atmosphere is nice. The problem is that the overall Blackhawk Shopping center area is neglected; the fountain is disgusting, the Christmas house has prob not been touched for six months, the pond area is kept. Feels like they’re shutting the place down. Unfortunately, that takes away from what could easily have been a 4+ star review. 😕

Wonderful evening with the family. Grandchildren loved the kids menu. Adults enjoyed every dish presented. Perfect location for a quiet evening with an excellent wine list. Salads and fish dishes were superb. Best chicken wings I have had in a long time. Service was outstanding and waitress took care of our every wish. My only complaint is that they don’t stay open later. Otherwise we would come more often. You can sit inside or outside near the fish pond where the ducks are numerous. Great for young children. We will definitely be back

Super quiet for a Friday night. Looks like the place may be on it's way out. Server was wonderful. Attentive and knowlegeable. My salad had chicken and it was SO dry I couldn't eat it without choking. Used to love going there prior to Covid. Now....not so much.

The Grille at Blackhawk has great classic dishes and great service! It is great that there always seems to be seating available but it seems strange given it is best in the area. No other nearby restaurant measures up - even though some are pretty good.

It's been a while since we have eaten here. Some entrees are very high priced (steak/scallops/fish). Our server was nice and friendly. Drink service was quite slow though. And the place wasn't clean. Floor needed a serious vacuuming, table was sticky. It felt a bit old and tired.

So happy that holiday buffets are back at The Grille at Blackhawk. Food was fresh, hot and well displayed. The poached salmon was moist, tasty, and delicious. The carved ham was tender, flavorful and had a wonderful house made chutney. The roasted chicken was hot, tender, and crispy. The brunch breakfast items were hot and plentiful. The fruits were fresh and beautifully sliced. Many other choices were displayed too with a nice table of sweets including carrot cake, brownies, petit fours, apple galette, and truffles. The servers and staff are so friendly and worked hard. Beautiful day for an Easter Buffet overlooking the ducks in the pond outside. Best restaurant location in Danville!

My Daughter has Egg allergies, first of all our waiter didn’t have a clue of what on the menu was safe for her to eat, after going to the kitchen several times we were told that Hamburger and the fries were safe. After we got our order my daughter asked me to ask the waiter to make sure that the fries were not cooked in peanut oil. When I asked the waiter to double check he came back from the kitchen apologizing that the hamburger buns contain Eggs and the fries are in fact cooked in peanut oil… horrible experience I should be giving them a Zero Star rating..

For my wife and I’s Valentine’s Day date, I decided to take her to Blackhawk Grille. We brought our own bottle of wine ( which we finished:)) and Evelyn was our server. Although the portions were somewhat shy, the flavor was amazing and did not disappoint. We had the Halibut, which is always a treat, and we appreciated the great service. It took a little bit to be served at first but Evelyn did a great job making sure we were taking care of. The Manager Mike came over and introduced himself to check on every which made us feel important as customers. Great job and we will definitely go back for another date.
