    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.

    I don’t mean to give Black’s a one on the merits but it was the only option to be able to leave a review. Open Table took reservations for Black’s for a Sunday. The restaurant is closed on Sundays. So when we go there it was closed… so perhaps it’s a one star for Open Table.
