    For the prices charged at Blackbird, I expect excellent quality and customer service. While the food was good, the service was only fair. I will probably go there only if my dining companions want to go. I am unlikely to suggest Blackbird myself.

    Jacob was the best! He’s worth the visit. Food was well seasoned, well presented and tasted excellent. Pleasant atmosphere. We’re locals and will return. This was only our second visit.

    Absolutely loved our meal here. The cocktails were so delicious. We had the fried brussels, pork chop, and mountain trout and scallops risotto—all amazing.

    Overrated. Was not terrible but we would not go back. Pork chop seemed slightly overcooked. Beef was extremely tender and delicious but the rest of the plate seemed to fall short. Meh.
