Not only does this place contain too much chain restaurant look and feel it seems that they consistently overbook their upstairs space. The first time I went it was for appetizers and drink specials. 40 minutes later the apps were finally set out and the drink specials were on domestics beers. One glance at the apps sent us off in search of something else. After the first visit I dubbed them Blackfinn, never intend to back again.
However, another scheduled event unwillingly brought me back. The second visit pretty much rang true with the first visit. That said, I'm more of the type to search out local, non-chain treasures that focus on quality and freshness over standardized menus. Others prefer the consistency and predictability of some such menus.
