Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Black's Bar & Kitchen offers a delightful dining experience with "excellent service" and a charming outdoor patio. Patrons rave about the "spectacular food," from crab cakes to oysters Rockefeller. The menu is diverse, featuring standout dishes like salmon and seafood rigatoni. Although some find the indoor space noisy, the patio provides a quieter option.

    Everything was marginal. You can do better in Bethesda.

    The branzino was excellent. I really like the unusual sides of falafel and cucumber salad. My order was taken promptly, but I had to wait a long time to get my check, perhaps because I was a solo diner.

    The octupus was greasy and cold. The branzino was very oily. Generally very disappointing. I'm a big fan of Blacks other restaurant and had a great meal at Black Salt but this meal was very disappoining. My partner and i both had indigestion afterwards.

    Excellent meals all around, and good service. The extra charge for using a credit card was a trite and annoying way to end the evening.
