Tbh, it’s a middle of the road place with middle of the road food. It almost felt like we were at an Applebees but paying Georgetown prices. The scallops were cooked fine but the dish is really an order of mashed potatoes with four modest sized scallops. The blackened shrimp was good but suggest they remove the tails and go for larger and fewer shrimp. The underlying Brussels sprouts were also good but the bacon was too much—less is more. The side of mushrooms were very tasty but sitting in too much butter or oil. The dessert was very good—apple blueberry crisp with a good dollop of vanilla ice cream draped in a lattice of caramel sauce (which wasn’t needed!) Anyway, if you’re looking for a decent meal, this place is fine. If you are wanting a more robust experience, you might leave wanting.

We were thrilled that Blacks was open on Easter Sunday! Such a wonderful dining experience and an exceptional server! We enjoyed the oysters as a starter, eggs with smoked salmon Benedict, so yummy, delicious salad with perfectly seared Tuna! The ladies loved the steak and eggs and scallops were fabulous! Perfect timing of the serving team.
