| - I really enjoyed my experience and meal at the black pig. Love the vibe, decor (open-brick walls, comfy and intimate booths), and friendly service. Food was also delicious and reasonably priced for the quality.
My party of 5 and I ordered:
Appetizers:
- meat plate: my bf truly enjoyed this. It came with andouille sausage, pork pâté, and chicken liver mousse along with bread.
- mussels: if you've ever had pho, the sauce kind of tasted like that.
Entrees:
- scallops: so, so good!! One member thought it was slightly salty, another thought it needed more salt, and I thought it was done perfectly.
- Ohio beef: the meat came out more in the rare side, so keep that in mind when you order
- pork tenderloin: good, but not as good as...
- roasted duck: obviously the plate I ordered, as it was my favorite. Everything about this dish was perfect. It actually alone warrants a very well-deserved 5 stars. It was so, so, so good and came with a side of confit, I believe.
- fries: with garlic aioli. Can't go wrong with a side of crispy fries to accompany your food!
Drinks:
- magic lemonade: I didn't find anything too special in it. It kinda just reminds me of mikes hard lemonade :/
- sticky pig: it was too spicy for my taste. I ended up not finishing my drink and ordering a Coke instead.
- the c...something (I forget): it was the drink with smoked coke in it. My bf called it a mans drink and announced that it tasted like drinking a cigar. He happens to enjoy cigars, so it's a compliment.
Over all, the food was great, and you really can't go wrong with any of the entrees I listed. I'd say my top two favorites were the roasted duck and scallops. I took off a star bc I wish their drink menu had something sweet and fruity for me, and I wasn't personally impressed with their appetizers or sides (even though the rest of my party loved the appetizers).
