    The service was impeccable start to finish. From the hostess to the server, to the assistant waitstaff, everything was spot-on. The menu, while small, had something for each of the guests at our table. We don't have any dietary restrictions, but the server was sure to ask about this, which was a nice touch. The cocktail menu was great, and the wine list is superb. Located across from Madison Square Park makes for a great location, easy to find, and a great spot to take a walk before or after dinner. Enjoy!

    Lovely experience with fantastic food. The wine selection was on point with a balance for any budget. The food- amazing. Great, full flavors. Dining room was spacious with enough space between seats/tables where you didn’t feel like you could smell the food next to you. Service was attentive and non intrusive. Would highly recommend.

The beef tartare, mushroom toast, squash ravs, beef rib, scallops with risotto, pork shank and for dessert apple cider doughnuts were really really good! Our waiter was amazing and extremely knowledgeable! The atmosphere was really nice! You get to see the masters at work with the huge open kitchen! Great place for any occasion!

    Needed a good brunch place near the Flatiron that would accommodate a range of tastes plus still let us hear ourselves talk, and Blackbarn fit the bill! The space is surprisingly large, with seating up front by the bar, but an expansive dining room even further back (there's also a cute function room to one side that would be great for small private parties). The menu is delicious and varied--some brunch classics like eggs Benedict or waffles, but also twists like lamb kofta, a Dutch baby, or cornflake-coated French toast cut in slabs the size of your head. They offer a bottomless brunch for the drinkers, worth it if you like a couple of Bloody Marys or mimosas with your meal. Items are a little pricey, but in line with the neighborhood--you might not be here every weekend, but you don't need a second mortgage to eat here either. Service is friendly and attentive, and they were very accommodating when we requested modifications. Highly recommend!

    BLACKBARN Restaurant - NoMadResponded on March 17, 2023Hi Crinklish, Thank you for this lovely review! We really really appreciate it. So happy to hear you enjoyed your brunch, the Dutch baby pancake is one of our favorites. Always love to receive positive feedback on our service as well and we'll make sure we pass this review along to our staff. thank you again and have a great day! Best, Jade

    Food was great, service was a bit slow and inattentive, but the noise level in the main dining room was absolutely unbearable. My friend an I practically had to scream at each other to hear. It's a shame, because the food was great, but I'm not sure I'd go back.

    Outstanding! One of the best experiences I have had in years!! When we got there no one was in the section of the restaurant we were going to be seated. I was not crazy about the first table the hostess wanted to seat us at ( the restaurant was wide open). I asked if there was another table and she graciously guided us (without attitude )to another option that was perfect for the three of us and talking business. Great service, food,wine, night! Can’t wait to go back!

    Came here for Valentines Day and it was a spectacular. The place was large but has a really cozy feel to it. Our waitress was extremely friendly and thorough at walking us through the menu but did not rush us at all. The food was great, and I loved that they had both a special occasion pre-selected meal and a la cart choices. Highly recommend.

    After taking our drink order for brunch, our waiter disappeared. We were finally able to get his attention and place our order and again it took a long time for our food to come. Two of us ordered Eggs Benedict. The eggs were more like hard boiled eggs - way over done. Temp of food was barely warm. We were so hungry at that point that we didn’t send it back. Doubt we would go back.
