    The service was a little slow but it was a busy evening at the restaurant. The food was amazing and good value. we chose to cook our steaks on the hot stone, as we had not done it before. The steak was large, and well presented as were the sides that we ordered. The ambiance was a little lively, but that was not a problem for us, its good to see people out enjoying themselves. we were on holiday for a few days and enjoyed our visit, and would recommend this restaurant to others looking for a good steak meal.

    Absolutely amazing service, the food was outstanding. It was our wedding day and as waited for the bill, the staff took their time and came out with dessert on the house. We were not expecting that at all it was a lovely surprise. We will definitely be returning. I would recommend black rock to everyone. The staff were amazing.

    Can not say enough nice things about this restaurant and its staff. We arrived a bit early and were sat immediately but had to wait 30-40 minutes for one of our party to join us. Staff were very patient and understanding. They provided doodle pads for the children and even charged my phone for me! Food was amazing, service was great! We will absolutely visit again and would highly recommend. Thank to everyone for a lovely experience, despite the rocky start!
