   First time at this new location in Columbia MD. The location was so festive set up for the holidays. Wait times were good. As a party of 2 our request for a booth was honored. Seasonal menu had some good choices. Appreciate the GF menu for those who are. Had the Waldorf Salad and took home the French onion soup. The salad creation was great however I know different cuts of meat need to be cooked differently. Especially on a large animal like beef. Muscle that the animal uses a lot will be hard and tight. Muscle that is used less, will be more tender. The grilled NY steak that was presented on this salad was tough. Could only work my way through a few slices. That said the wine choices were great but the cherry on top was our server, Jason. Jason could not have been more accommodating . He knew exactly when to approach the table and when to give me and my friend time to reconnect. I so appreciate his knowledge of the menu, his patience and his manner of making us feel at home. Jason is the reason I will return to Blackwall again and try something new on the menu.

   Being born and bred in Maryland my expectations for crab cakes are high since this is a pretty good restaurant I had high hopes of ordering their crabcakes, a big mistake, the crab cakes were white as a ghost meaning I ordered a side of potatoes and the 2 crab cakes looked almost identical in color, they where small for the price, my potatoes amt was bigger than the 2 crabcakes, the crabcakes had no hint of obay or any seasoning and included more fillers, lump crab meat should be used not back fin and the crabcakes smelled fishy so I don't believe it was from MD. I was disappointed because it was my birthday dinner and I didn't want to waste the food so I ate as much as I could. My guest got the snake eye pasta which was good, next time I'll get that. Please update the recipe and try frying, seasoning is important in crabcakes.

   The food was very good overall--although my NY strip was not that great-- not the best cut of meat. The server was very good-- but they were a little short staffed for a Sunday night, so the clearing of the table, etc. was not as fast as we would have like. But, again, the overall experience was very good. >>> On a very positive note, we requested a quiet table, since a person in our party was hard of hearing, and they gave us a great table in a quiet area. >> Will be back. Great place.

   The ambience was pleasant during our visit. I would sum up that the food is average at best - nothing special. My husband had the ribeye special. The cut of meat was chewy, but the blue cheese sauce was tasty. I had the short rib, which is suppose to be one of their signature dishes, again nothing special. We also had the french onion soup, which unfortunately came out with our main entrees, so not too pleased. Probably will not return, for the cost of dinner, there are better options.

   The best part of my Sunday brunch was the pineapple mimosas. The buffet was just ok for me because the food was not hot or warm.

   We had the pleasure of spending a lovely afternoon with our server Darelis. She walked us through the menu as this was our first time here. There were so many wonderful options to choose from. We started with a craft cocktail, French onion and butter nut squash soup. Both were delicious. Next came the calamari, portion on the small side but yummy with the sweet chili sauce. My husband enjoyed the New York strip and I had the Prime Rib. The accompanying asparagus, potatoes and spinach complimented the meal. We ended with the berry cobbler and bread pudding. We appreciate the farm to table concept and knowing were our food comes from. An overall enjoyable experience!!

    Excellent restaurant!! Food and service were wonderful, great cocktails, and nice ambiance with live music (reasonable volume where you could still have a conversation). Will definitely be back!
