   Our first time for celebrating a birthday here was very nice with a few hits and whiffs. Staff service was exemplary. The Spiced Apple Butternut squash soup was outstanding, while the French Onion soup, while tasty, had two slices of baguette, not croton as advertised, in place of expected onions. The Chesapeake Pasta was outstanding as was the Barn rubbed sirloin steak cooked perfectly at medium-rare. The wines were pleasant enough, but the amount served barely just made it presentable to look at in the wine glass for the prices charged. The Apple Cinnamon bread pudding again was too much bread, not enough to call it pudding. All things considering our experience, we will be returning at some future time.

   Our server was very rude because we had specific dietary restrictions. As he was entering our order into the system that was located at the bar, I went over to him to ask a question,. He was literally 5 feet away, and even though I called him by name, he refused to acknowledge my presence. Instead of acknowledging me, he turned to his co-worker to ask him to help with another table because he had a very "weird' order. He was no better when he came back to our table to let us know that the restaurant was out of Mahi Mahi. He didn't give us another menu, and instead just asked what we wanted. This could have all been avoided if he started by asking if we had any food allergies. He did not. The manager, Nikki was very nice, and asked if there was anything that she could do AFTER we paid our bill, and I asked to speak to a manager. I told her no. Even with a discount, I refuse to spend my hard-earned dollars and be treated disrespectfully.

   I went to the Blackwall in Columbia and didn’t have a good experience. The Blackwall in Gambrils Md. was far better. I had a better experience. The food was fresher and it was replenished often. We arrived around 12:30 the fried chicken was old and they didn’t cook anymore- and when I asked they server and the manager both looked at there watch. The spice shrimp was old and dry and there was no salad or fresh fruit. It was not worth $48. I will not go back. If you go you need to when the restaurant first opens. You need to do better. Disappointed Customer

   Outside of the food, the staff is beyond a 10! Management check on their guest. Everyone is so attentive and friendly

   Started with drinks at the bar. Delicious. Bartenders seemed a bit overwhelmed. Table by the fireplace. Seats could be higher. Food was delicious our waitress was not as attentive as we like. A lot of managers on the floor but did not see any doing table visits. Love the decorations and style of this place!

   This was one of my favorites until my experience last night. Waiter forgot appetizers drinks…total disappointment. Food took an incredibly long time to come out to table. No apology from restaurant until I asked why. Will cut this restaurant off of my list. Total disappointment.

   Update: THANK YOU to the staff and management for inviting my parents back. They enjoyed the brunch buffet and the staff acknowledged their anniversary with cupcakes. They said everything was delicious and they are excited to return. I’m looking forward to returning as well. Thank you again! Original: Sent my parents here for their anniversary and they were essentially ignored and didn’t had to ask repeatedly for service. They waited about 20 minutes for anyone to even acknowledge them at their table. Disappointing.

    Not bad, friendly service. Had chef special- bacon wrapped bison. The only down side was that we would chg./ modify the vegetable. Plate is as is, which is a waste because if the veggie isn’t of preference it ends up in the trash.
