    The moment I entered I was greeted by my name and with a friendly smile by the host. As I walked in further mixologist Tom knew my cocktail and yet again made me an exquisite ‘sour’ with a fantastic egg white foam to boast. He went even further and made a special cocktail for my friend who told him her taste preference and immediately he conjured up a delectable tasting cocktail. I could go on but as I write I think I need one of that cocktail. 😆😀

    Food and service was outstanding. The tables are a bit close so we heard the conversations of the people in the tables next to us. It is a bit expensive so I would keep it for a special occasion. A nice surprise was my old fashioned being free due to it being my birthday.

    A coworker recommended Blackbird Kitchen and Cocktails to us and it was a great recommendation. We enjoyed the Chef’s tasting menu. Each item was fresh and delicious. Our server Courtney was wonderful and so was our busboy! The tasting menu changes with the seasons, but we’ll be back to enjoy some of the items that were incredible like the crab cake and short ribs with pasta!!
