The menu even though small was excellent, the staff very friendly and efficient, but not intrusive. Definitely recommend this restraint for anybody in the area.

Blaq came with good reviews so I booked it for our 33rd Anniversary Dinner. When we arrived (on time) we were kept hanging about in the cacophonous main dining area. The (eventual) waitress was charming (but had no idea what a kir royale is) and kindly moved us to the less noisy terrace, though this was inadequately provided with mosquito deterrents, so it was purgatory....The food was OK (if pricey), as were wines by the glass (some interesting). Nothing was said about the Anniversary after all.... We won't be dining there ever again and have told all our friends that the place does not deserve the accolades (posted by some). Something about 'resting on their laurels' perhaps?
