Amazing food, Salamon and Seafood Fra Diavlo, seasoned perfectly, portion size is perfect, and the taste is outstanding! Only complaint is the noise level. It's pretty loud, not insane but not a lot of quiet conversations

Food was excellent! Service was pretty good - though we were only asked once if everything was good. The only thing that I really deducted to the overall rating was the noise level. It was LOUD. I had to ask my boyfriend to repeat himself several times.

First time trying this spot. We tried the Brussel sprouts and short ribs. Both were delicious. Our server Jim was very attentive and kind. The girls working at checkin and filling waters were friendly too. Definitely recommend and will go again.

We moved out of town and hadn’t been back for over ten years. It was exactly how we remembered. Excellent in every way. The warm cozy feeling . Warm welcoming vibe. Delicious food made to perfection and on spot service with kindness and respect to the customers. We hope to come back again when we’re in town. Thank you.

I eat here often and generally have excellent service. Must have hit an off night when I left without dessert and coffee when server didn’t come back for 20 minutes after the meal. But to be clear, I will go back because I love the menu and food and usually good service.

Our dinner was delicious. The service was excellent. We hadn't been here for several years just because there are so many new places to try, but Black Lab can be counted on for well prepared for and excellent service.

Hadn't been to the Black Dog in a while - glad we returned. Everything was very nice. Crab cakes were spot on - Bronzino was excellent. Tuna tartare was very good. Definitely still a winner, and nice that it's still a BYOB.
