The third recent meal at Black Bar & Kitchen, and this one also was excellent. My big, juicy burger nailed it - great meat, cooked perfectly (medium rare), fresh onion slice and crispy fries! My wife’s Branzino was well-seasoned and very fresh and tasty. We love the bar and high top table area - more fun than the dining room for couples. Wine’s were pricey- $17-$20 / glass - except for the delightful Malbec - just $9! I had two glasses at that price. Black’s keeps us coming Back!

Everything is excellent. They just need to lower music a little bit and play something more soothing (eg Soft Jazz, Bossa Nova), that constant loud drum beat can be annoying at times. No one likes that music they play. Other than that, everything was great. Reading worth it.

We have come here a few times now and our favorite is the chicken Parmesan with vodka sauce and the linguine with white wine clam sauce. This is quickly becoming one of our favorites at Pike and Rose and we love to celebrate special occasions here. Exceptional service and lovely staff.

Delicious food! We asked for a quiet part of the restaurant, and the hostess seated us in their back room. For most of the meal, we had that space all to ourselves and we were able to enjoy the food, the drinks, and the conversation. That made a perfect evening!
