Had a great evening with friends. Food was amazing. We had the burrata salad and calamari for appetizers, delicious. For mains, we had the diablo shrimp, salmon and halibut, which were all beautifully presented and equally delicious. The olive oil cake was the perfect ending to a great meal.

Fantastic service from Katie! 5 stars! Our lunch meals and birthday celebration were excellent. The service was attentive, professional and friendly. The salad was sensational, very fresh and not too heavily dressed. Birthday dessert was spectacular, too. We will be back.

An unexpected ambiance at a location you wouldn't think it to be. Nicely lit dining area, varied menu choices for all tastes (meat, seafood, vegetarian) while not being overwhelming. The waitress recommended the halibut and it was very tasty. The cooked onions I think? had a delicious tang to them along with the roasted potatoes. Accolades to Mia and Evan who served us with attention and care. Cheers!

I have been to Blackshop many times over the years and this was by far the best experience I’ve had there. The renovations really elevated the experience. Our server Clinton was probably the best service I’ve had on a night out. He went over the menu and the features with detail and hyped up every choice we made. The food and drinks were outstanding. The live music was a really nice touch as well. We will definitely be back!

We had a lovely evening at Blackshop, celebrating my husbands birthday. Our appetizer wasn’t quite right and the chef came out and spoke to us and comped it. Our mains were delicious and they brought out a yummy cake for my husband’s birthday. The ambiance is very nice with the renovations.

What a spectacular evening. Blackshop does it right - from beginning to end. It was obvious to me from the minute we walked in that Blackshop is most concerned with a 5 star experience. The knowledge and enthusiasm of our server(s) helped us in our choices and made our evening memorable and delicious.

Lovely evening! We usually sit on the patio but the weather brought us inside and we were delighted by the ambience, service, food and staff. Everyone was friendly and attentive. There was even an instant camera photographer there who took old school pics to leave was us and a small birthday card for me and my niece. Very thoughtful, food was consistently excellent, dessert was creative and fun. Thanks Blackshop!
