    All I’m going to say is go and enjoy everything. The food the service and definitely the drinks. You will not be disappointed, my girlfriend won’t stop telling everyone about it and she is beyond annoying when it comes to food and restaurants, she always complains about something. She was speechless the way I like her. (Quiet). Trust me this place is worth it. Do the chef’s tasting!!!

    Never a bad experience at Blackbird. Food and service are always on point and portion size is perfect. Frank and team demonstrate just what a successful, consistent, hospitality driven experience should be.

    Great service and food was outstanding. Looks from the outside is deceiving. Reputations must be outstanding as it was packed on a Sunday night.
