Blackshop Restaurants & Lounge

We visited on Sunday for brunch and to celebrate a birthday. We have been here before and loved it so decided to take our out of town guests here to celebrate. They were so impressed with the Blackshop. We had intimate seating for the 6 of us. Several in our group ordered the eggs benedict and they were delicious! Eggs were perfectly poached. There was live music which we really enjoyed. The volume was just right. We will be back again soon!

Last night I ordered their special; grouper. The dish cost $46 so I was hesitant. However, my husband talked me into it. The grouper was overcooked, and the barley was under-cooked.None of the flavours meshed. The worst meal Ive ever had at a restaurant. In fairness, I have always enjoyed my dunners there.

great food for birthday

bf took me there for 30th just two of us for dinner. similar to the keg set up. dark with upscale modern decor. we sat inside, but the covered patio looked really nice service good. server attentive but not disturbing. bf ordered- fried calamari he loved them he ate entire plate to himself. his he the special as entre pasta with been shrimp and veggies. it was like the pasta version of surf and turf. he really enjoyed it but i thought the shrimps looked really small. i ordered- sushi special- rice over cooked, only 6 pieces, but was at decent attempt at it. that's what you get for ordering sushi at this type of restaurant. for an entree i had the most amazing beef tenderloin. i kid you not it melted in my mouth. full of flavour, juicy, beefy and just amazing. i would go back just for the tenderloin. a perfect cut dressed with fingerling potatoes and veggies. i also had it with a side of mushrooms. the sides were as expected, but the beef tenderloin was great. way better than the keg (which has gone downhill fast) drinks- bf had beer- maybe sleemans? and i had Pinot Gregorio for California- great good food we will return. exceeded my expectations- at least the beef tenderloin. so full we did not order dessert

Has it all

My first visit to the Blackshop was for my husbands annual work party. We were a party of about 50 people. The service was fantastic, I felt like my glass was never empty, there was always someone waiting in the wings to swoop down and attend to my every need. The dinner we had that night was a chicken dish with whipped potatoes and seasonal vegetable. The starter was a beautiful salad with fresh bacon and parmesean shavings. I left feeling very satisfied,every bite was a delight. I have since been back and I have samples many of the menu items and every time I go I seem to leave with a New Favorite. The service never fails, from the moment you arrive there is someone there to attend to your every needs. I don't know if it was the Live Jazz Trio, the melt in your mouth cooked to perfection foods or the wonderful wine, but every meal is a memorable one, I can taste it right now!

Great Place

I have been to Blackshop a few times now. I am impressed with the food and the service. Wine service is great and food is wondeful. I recommend this place to all of my friends and everyone is impressed.
