| - The vibe at Black Mountain Grill is super cozy and warm, with the bar in the main section of the restaurant and the private rooms along the sides. The service is definitely on-par with a high quality restaurant, but with a huge party like ours, all the staff members seemed to just walk by several times without really checking on our guests.
I ordered the Extreme Mac & Cheese ($15.95) upon recommendation of my friend, and it has chicken, bacon, wild mushrooms, campanelle, and white truffle oil. Honestly, I was disappointed. There was a generous amount of stuff in the mac & cheese but the chicken was dry and some distinguishable kick in flavor was missing. Plus my stomach did not feel great after, but I'm sure that was just my coffee intake.
Speaking of the coffee, when a cup was initially brought to me, it was lukewarm instead of hot. The second time they refilled, I finally got hot coffee. Rule number one when someone needs coffee... serve it hot.
My friends have given this place great verbal reviews, and while I would actually come back here and give it another try, my first experience was not all that filling or fulfilling.
