    Food was great as always experienced at the Biltmore Estate properties. Danny, our server, was outstanding and her attention made our meal extra special. I noticed this time that all of the staff really worked together helping each other out. That was nice to see.

    Our party of four arrived just as The Blackbird opened at 5, as we had plans for the evening. Service was quick and good and we had a marvelous dinner in about an hour. We all loved our choices, from the veggie entree my daughter chose (and she was also happy about the wide range of gluten free options) to the pork chop and the Seafood Pirlau. There were oohs and ahs for the Smoked Gouda Sweet Potato Biscuit Pudding and the Goat Cheese Corn Pie. The top of the Pirlau was a classic mix of shrimp, mussels, sausage, and tiny crawfish, over a wonderful rice cake with a tomato-y both that made me think of Jambalaya that an old friend of mine from N'aleans used to simmer for a day before serving. Delish!

    We are local and have spent a lot of time at GPI/Edison's over the last 13 years, especially during the holiday season. The menu is just perfect, the service is always top-notch, and the environment is warm and welcoming.

    A fantastic experience! I made rez strictly on OT reviews not knowing it was an Indigo Road Hospitality Group property of which I am a huge fan. If you are fortunate enough to land Ace N as your server, trust him on your adventure through the menu. His knowledge of flavors, preparation, and pairings were perfection. Bone marrow Tater Tots, charcoaled carrots, Chef Cut CAB, Tiramisu, Super Tuscan, and Nonino all amazing!!!!
