    First time to Blacklock and we will definitely be visiting again! Food absolutely delicious - we had the "All In" to share. Meat was anazing, flatbread a great idea and gravy was so scrummy. I would prefer more gravy to start with, as you can get more, but just have to get the attention of a member of staff, and it was busy. Great atmosphere, staff were very friendly and helpful. Meat just melted in your mouth, broccoli and walnut salad was very nice and the beef dripping chips were lush! The pre-chop bites were just the right size, loved the kimchi one!

    It was my first time visiting this restaurant, and I was so excited! My husband and I came to celebrate Christmas early, and I started with a cocktail that was absolutely delicious. Since I hadn’t eaten all day, it didn’t take much to make me tipsy after just one drink! The food was fantastic—juicy and tender steak, fresh scallops . Every bite was a pleasant surprise. A huge thank you to the staff, who were so polite and incredibly attentive. They noticed I got tipsy easily and even thoughtfully gave me a bag just in case I needed it. I really appreciate the care (and sorry for any trouble I caused!). Overall, it was such a wonderful dining experience, and I will definitely be back again. Reika mui
