Me and my bf stopped in for a cocktail and apps before dinner. We sat at the bar top but the outside seating looked very nice also. I ordered a speciality cocktail- I don’t remember the name but it has vodka and a fruit purée- it was delicious ! My bf got a beer. We also shared the loaded steak fries and they were DELICIOUS! They had melted cheese, steak pieces and thousand island. The menu is smaller with some salad and sand which options. They had some other entrees as well we will definitely be back to try !

Today my family and I came in with 4 adult and I our 2 year old. We were told a 30 minute wait and we would be called when our table was ready. But we waited the 30 minutes to no avail. I had approach the front counter and ask where is our table to which they answered oh we will seat you right now. Mind you we had seen 4 open tables the whole time we were waiting. So be cautious when attending this restaurant. But the food is delicious and the drinks are strong. Even my 77 year old mother enjoyed a beverage here that was comped because they forgot it when I ordered at the bar. Overall 3 stars but again be cautious. While I write this review my wife is still startling waiting for her waffle.

It's a great location with hip decor. Food was ok and service very good. I would consider the bottomless mimosas if you have a ride. Went early on a Saturday and it was quiet. I think night time would be more lively. Great outdoor scene.

Blackbird is a good restaurant with a variety of offerings. We had raven flatbread, chicken curry and a sweet and Spicy chicken sandwich. Flat bread was great. Chicken curry was pretty spicy but we had been warned. And I personally enjoyed the chicken sandwich. Prices were a little high, but most are nowadays. Service was great.

Other then being ignored by the female bartender several times, we had a great experience! The male bartender (wish I got his name) gave us great drinks. Firepits were nice and cozy. Cornhole was fun! They had a DJ and the vibes were

Overall really cool place, I'd go back. The drinks are very good. Food could use some work but overall good. The burgers are great, the carnitas fries were soggy but tasty. Solid menu just tweak a few things and this place would be awesome. But I'd go back, very friendly service, cool area and we all really enjoyed it.
Food was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!Service was OUTSTANDING!!Will Definitely go back!!

Came here for the first time for my small baby shower (only 6 people). We had a reservation. I don’t know if they were short staffed but the service was terrible. I asked for a high chair and some girl brought it but instead of taking it to our table she just left it in the middle. She was chatting with someone and just walked away. The main waiter hardly came and checked on us. Food took awhile and they actually put our food down on the wrong table and they forgot things. Then after we already had our food for awhile another guy came back with more food obviously not for our table. Never came back and checked if we needed refills on our drinks. I have to say the food was good but overall the experience was disappointing.

My second time here in a long time, we came for our jobs Christmas party. We had a big group so we were out in the back and for some reason it was pretty warm and the sun was beaming but thank goodness they have umbrella covers to block the sun out lol it was nice the only complaint I have was it took a while for my drinks to come out to me, but other than that everyone was happy with the food and amazing drinks.
The food and the service was horrible. Our server (jose) brought the wrong drink order not once but twice. I ordered the Mahi Mahi @ $29 for the entree. The fish was served over whipped potatoes. The fish smelled rancid and was obviously thawed and had gone bad. I sent it back and ordered pot stickers. They too were a frozen product and fried. Our entrees came and we still hadn't been given silverware or waters. For a busy holiday weekend the place was empty. At 9 pm they tried turning the place into a night club and removed all of the seating in the bar area. The bartenders and staff were more concerned with taking their own shots than servicing other customers. At least half of the heaters outside were out of fuel. There was no manager in sight. I have been to Blackbird prior and enjoyed it. This resturant has gone to being open only Thurs-Sunday. It has been mis-managed and the service and food quality have suffered greatly. The lack of customers reveal its in steady decline. It is sad to say, but we wont be back.
Service was terrible. The waiter blamed management, but no one cared food was not great. Potstickers took 45 minutes entries were just so so except the Thai salad it was good. Overall experience was really bad ... for the $300 we spent we could have gone a To a better place.
