Just popped in on a whim on a Thursday had the 100 dollar old fashioned. It was fantastic (only 1). We then had one of the best meals ever. Staff was very nice and knowledgeable. Best hummus I’ve ever had. Cucumber with feta and blood orange were ridiculous and the Stracciatella was so good. Literally everything we had was top notch. Can’t wait to go back and try more there. Excellent all around.

Food and cocktails were delicious. Very good service. I wish they had a larger menu . Thought it was very dark. If you like that you will enjoy it.

BlackBird is a high quality, great energy, and well worth Tappas spot. My main meal was the Roasted chicken, it was absolutely perfect, crispy skin, juicy flavor, probably the best roasted chicken i’ve ever had.

Absolutely amazing! Best cocktails and old fashion drinks. High quality menu, delicious and eloquent dishes and exceptional service especially from our server who explained each dish and made it very warm and intimate for us to enjoy the experience of each dish. One of my favorite spots in LI!! Highly recommend for a date night or dinner/drinks with friends.

Amanda our waitress was great. She was very friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and just attentive enough without interrupting our experience. We had the cucumbers, scallops, and fried Gouda. Then shared a NY strip steak. Everything was delicious.

Dark room with warm lighting, friendly and attentive staff, and unique cocktails and a delicious menu. Plenty of intriguing small plate options to start, but we went with the wings and the tuna tartare. The roasted chicken had an amazing chorizo stuffing with fresh brussel sprouts. Rigatoni came with a mouth watering homemade sausage. Highly recommended date spot for an intimate evening.

Unfortunately the food was horrible here. A very plain tasting menu and we had to send the pasta back. The food was not cooked well and you could tell it was rushed. I had to remind the server of things I had asked for. We were never told of the up-charge for the steak versus the chicken on the tasting menu. The lighting was extremely dark as the restaurant is only lit by candles. And none of this was worth the money. Typically my family and I don’t care to say anything, but from the minute we walked in this place was unprofessional and it was clear that it was not worth returning.

This boring little nothing of a restaurant suffers from delusions of grandeur. Overpriced, uninspired brew-pub dishes masquerading as fancy entrees with tiny portions. They should be deeply ashamed of their “home made” mozzarella small plate, They which featured about 6 dice-sized cubes of hard, grocery store quality cheese and some tomatoes drowned in balsamic for $22. Looking forward to using the laundromat that replaces it when it hopefully closes.

This is he warm friendly inviting Restaurant and Bar. We sat at the bar and enjoyed happy hour. The bar staff was friendly and helpful. My fellow patrons were not too chatty but enough to be friendly and have a conversation. We had the roasted octopus appetizer which was a generous portion of octopus and wonderfully prepared. Our burgers were excellent
