   Service was good, menu had some highlights but food quality was fair. Tuna tartar overwhelmed with mayonnaise . We ordered the lamb rare and it came well done. Very disappointing.

   Black Lab Bistro is always great! I've never had a bad meal here and the prices are reasonable. We love that it's a BYOB as well. We had 6pm reservations on a Friday night and were seated right away. It wasn't busy at that time but when we left, the restaurant was filling up. Our server was nice and very attentive. I highly recommend this restaurant!

   My wife and I enjoyed a delicious dinner on Valentines Day. I had the Fishermen’s Platter- a throwback item for sure. A combination of salmon, tilapia, shrimp and crab imperial. The flavorful sauce brought out the best in this baked dish. Service was excellent! Recommended.

   Service was excellent! Food was solid. But the ambience was lacking, especially for Valentine’s Day dinner (second seating at 7:45PM) advertised as a “romantic candlelit dinner”, it was not. Lights were fully on and very bright. The faux candle on the table was irrelevant. Ambience could have made the dinning experience so much better.

   Delicious food as always. We had the crab stuffed lobster and the lamb. Both were outstanding.

   Food was good but way way overpriced for what you got and the caliber of it. Service was slow but they were friendly. $185 for just dinner, no drinks (BYOB), 2 people.

   Hadn’t been here in quite a while, and I’m happy to report that it was great! Food was absolutely delicious—especially the crab cakes—and service was excellent. We’ll be going back more often!
