    Wish I knew they were going to a special menu only for Valentine’s Day. Food was average on that special menu, not worth the price. Service was great!

    The food was delicious, and the service was speedy and spot on. Waitress was amazing. Drinks were delicious and came quick as did food. Was a bigger table in the middle that was louder, only cause kids. All in all was great. I will say watch scheduling with this app. Check hours in the restaurant. I scheduled a reservation for Sunday prior, and the restaurant wasn't even open. Had to change my reservation to a week later. Black River Tavern gave me a free appetizer for the inconvenience. All in all, great experience. For anyone who hasn't been there, it is down below. From parking lot walk around to the right. We made the mistake of going upstairs. It isn't there lol.

    It's OK, but we expected more. We spent about $100 (just on food and non-alcoholic beverages). That's somewhat pricey if the food is not that good. I was disappointed in my food - risotto was clumpy/dry and not creamy. My fish was way overdone. Sure, that could be a one-off, but don't bring it to the table if it's overcooked. Make another. My spouse had another meal which looked very good aesthetically -- there was no indication that THAT dish was overcooked. We were disappointed that there was no bread offered. Maybe that's a thing with Black River Tavern; however, for the prices we paid, bread/butter should be a "thing," as should a salad with the meal. We may try again at another time. Was REALLY hoping this could be a new/cool place to dine. The jury is still out...for now.
