   Everything was perfect. From Happy Hour where my wife and 2 adult sons enjoyed blueberry-mint martinis and Cosmos, hummus, duck nachos, and calamari. Our waiter, Rod, was friendly, prompt, and really nice to work with. We then moved over to the other side of the restaurant for dinner. We had an excellent bottle of French Chardonnay and our son had a California Cabernet. We shared 2 salads—arugula and beet. Both fantastic. For the entrees, I had the grouper, one son had the steak frites, my wife and other son had the branzino. All were terrific, but I think the Branzino would win in a contest. For dessert, we shared the apple and blueberry crisp and chocolate mousse. Our waiter, Keif, was outstanding! Friendly, informative, helpful, engaged, prompt. We weren’t rushed, but the food came without delay. All in all, we could not have asked for a better dining experience!

   As always, great food at a reasonable price. We had the lobster sandwich special, a few types of oysters (very fresh), the halibut, bronzino and grouper. Everyone was happy.

   I moved here last year from Southern California. I quickly discovered this restaurant, and it's my absolute favorite here. Great service, fantastic food and great ambiance. It's my go to place when my people visit.

   First time going there and I for sure will be back! Service was outstanding and the vibe of the interior were great. Food was priced fairly for the quality. Came out fresh and fast but then again at the time it wasn’t super busy. For sure worth a try

   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.
