My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary in Cleveland. The Black Pig came recommended by a friend of ours. We were very excited to try this place because of what our friend had said about it. Unfortunately we were sadly disappointed.
We ordered the cheese and meat board that many reviewers raved about. It may have just been our tastes but the pickles were the best thing on the plate. On to our entrees. I ordered the chicken. It wasnt bad but I can make better at home. The potatoes and beets that come with it were tasteless. Hubby ordered the short ribs on the recommendation from our server. They were tender and flavorful but were lacking something. Maybe a little salt. After our disappointing meal we did stay for dessert. That was probably the highlight of the entire experience. They only offered three desserts so we shared the chocolate truffles. They were very rich but still yummy when you mixed the dark chocolate truffle with the white chocolate truffle mousse and some of the caramel.
Our server was attentive but overall service was very slow.
Needless to say this was our first and last trip to the Black Pig.
