Highly recommend Black Radish. My husband and I are in town for our anniversary and were lucky enough to find this vegetarian-friendly place. The atmosphere is welcoming and bright, the kitchen is open, and the staff are nice.We ordered the tofu lettuce wraps, bubble potatoes, and sweet potato flautas. Bubble potatoes are light and fluffy with a bang bang (spicy-ish) sauce, flautas were filled with roasted sweet potatoes, and the main dish - the lettuce wraps - were build your own with sides of jalapeno, peanuts, kim chi, mint, cilantro, and sauces. All were delicious!One of the owners, Matthew, stopped by our table to make sure we were having a good experience. Upon finding out it was our anniversary dinner he gave us a dessert of our choice! We had the peanut butter ice box pie - and it was light, airy, chocolatey, and the peanut was present but subtle.We plan to return for dinner tonight to try a few more dishes...and the carrot cake!

We enjoy Black Radish every time we visit. Their small plates are inventive and have never disappointed us. Sit at the bar any watch the crew cook your meal. It’s outstanding.

Don’t know why this is my first time reviewing since we have had a few amazing meals here. I always leave so satisfied in an overall sense. The food, atmosphere, and service are top notch.Tried out a few new menu items tonight as well as some staples and they did not disappoint. Had the bubble potatoes as always, they stepped it up with the amount of sauce they serve with it, ‘Preciate! The sourdough is spectacular. The new chipotle sweet potato flautas were amazing. Tried the half portions of the mushroom pasta (play of sunlight mushrooms, amazing cream sauce) and the new gemelli sausage pasta (the slightly spicy sauce was insanely good). I love that they serve half portions of the pasta so I can try more! My husband had the old fashioned and I had the Tegroni which was soooo good. Took the carrot cake to go and we are happily eating it currently.This is a restaurant I always recommend to everyone. Consistently one of the best in Tally for sure. Also, we finally decided to sit at the chef area and it was interesting and interactive, highly recommend.
We had bubble potatoes- yumThe Beets and berries- yumSmall plate, little neck clam pasta- okAnd tofu Lettuce wraps- yumI loved the water was at the table, chilled and did not taste like a pool too.Loved the atmosphere, could do without hipster attitudes from some employees as it's super pretentious and I always find it amusing in an annoying way when people half your age act uppity.
My top picks for the Black Radish:1. Bang Bang Fried Okra Bites2. Charred Broccolini3. Spaghetti alle Vongole4. BurrataBecause I'm southern and I love okra. Really, the vegetables are the stars of the show for me. The spaghetti is quite a showstopper and extremely well balanced and who can say not to a burrata? No, seriously, who can?? Not this girl.

Absolutely delicious, imaginative menu that is incredibly vegetarian/vegan friendly. The draft cocktails we tried weren’t my favorite, but the food is really the reason you’re going. The serving size was much larger than I’d expect for many of the small plates. Also surprisingly great kombucha!The menu changes seasonally, but if they’ve got it, get the bang bang okra and sweet potato ice-cream with miso caramel. Both are perfect dishes.What a treat to have this place in Tallahassee!

This is a VEGAN review. I really want to love this place more than I do. The food would be on point if it was seasoned a little more. I have been here a handful of times and each time was just okay. For what you pay for I usually would rather to go to the bark for my usual so I can leave satisfied and full. I am never really full when I leave from here. It just needs a sprinkle sprankle more. You almost got it!

In my opinion the Black Radish is a Top 5 Dinning experience in Tallahassee, FL. It is primarily a Vegan Restaurant yet boasts what many consider to be the best steak in the area.They serve a variety of Vegan Tapas Style small plates along with delicious carnivorous Large Plates (feeds 3).Great for any occasion. The flavors are explosive. No matter your type of diet you can't go wrong with the Black Raddish.

Black Radish has been on The List for 12+ months and on a Thursday night.The Location | It is tucked away in a nondescript building with the logo as the only marker. It is off of North Monroe St and the entrance is facing north, so GPS helps more than usual. It shares parking with a few other restaurants and a mini strip mall so parking isn't abundant.The Space | There are three distinct areas: the main dining area has high ceilings, feels cool & drafty, potted plants on the floor, and the kitchen spans the south wall; the bar area in which the bar spans the south wall; and outside. We sat in the main area because we didn't know there was an outside area until we were already comfortable.The Service | When we walked in the door, Logan greeted us and seated us. He then proceeded to engage: ask questions, give info on the menu, ask for drink & appetizer orders. It wasn't until we had received our entrées that Sage came over and greeted us as the person waiting our table. Logan and Sage were friendly, knowledgeable, smiling, and engaging. Given how they interact with customers and each other, it is obvious - to me - that the staff enjoy themselves and that the restaurant is well managed.The Vibe | Chill & easy going. All about the Customer. In the main area the centerpiece is the open kitchen where - from the tables - you can watch the chef prepare the food but you cannot actually see the food being prepared. There is bar seating at the kitchen and sushi bar style, you could watch it all.The Food | Vegan. Vegetarian. Limited menu because most of the products are sourced locally from Farmers that we know and love. Vegan, Veg, or whatever you call it, it was good.We ordered two dranks, two appetizers, two pastas, and a dessert.• Mangy Parrot. It was ok.• Daisy Mule. Very good. Had two. Asked for the recipe.• Bubble Potatoes. Wow. A sprinkle of finishing salt along with that sauce and they are Phenomenal! Easily the star of the dinner.• Stone Fruit & Burrata. Tasty but lacking something. The creaminess of the burrata + the almost ripeness of the peach was good but it needed more: something salty with texture, an acid, some peppery heat, or an umami component that captured it all. Something.• Spinach Tortelloni. Would order again. Favorite of the two pastas ordered. Well done. Nicely balanced with the roasted tomatoes.• Mushroom Campanelle. A vegan dish and we added Parmesan. Least favorite dish of the dinner. The mushrooms were lost in the (cashew cheese) sauce which was too thick and cloying.• Carrot Cake. Oh yeah! It was vegan but outstanding. The little crunch bits on top were memorable.The Price | $105 before tax & tip.The Summary | The Black Radish is a restaurant that we will return to. The Menu is limited and vegan/vegetarian but changes seasonally. We will be back.

Beautiful, healthy, flavorful food in Tally. Man, is that hard to find! Not every dish is a hero, just like life. But try several and you'll find a favorite. Homemade kombucha was honestly great. I don't know what a black radish is, other than a catchy name to remember this place. Need more like this in Tally.

Another great meal at Black Radish. Great customer service. Took pictures after eating some of the food. Large portions in these pictures. Menu changes every few months. Pasta dish: Mezzi Regate with Vodka Sauce - Vegan ; Tofu dish: Fried Tofu Lettuce Wraps - Vegan and Gluten-free.

I loved the emphasis on local ingredients. I tried the mushroom cream sauce pasta. The mushrooms were some of the best I've had! The vodka sauce and fried okra were excellent too. I think overall the food was good just pasta dishes were under seasoned
