I've been to Black Betty a couple times now and I always enjoy the atmosphere. The staff is great. Love the decor and colours of the place.
We recently went there with a group of 11 of us for my birthday dinner and drinks. The first thing the hostess said to me was "You look like you fit right in at this place." This was a huge compliment to me... all dolled up in a red pin up dress and super high heels. That just earned you another star!
The service was good. It was slow that night as the weather sucked so everything was served pretty quickly. Drinks were flowing. Dinner was good. I was very sad to learn that they'd removed their Mac n Cheese. I had my heart set on it. Instead I settled for the fettuccine carbonara which was really good too. It wasn't the mac n cheese I really wanted, but yummy just the same. In fact all the food looked delicious. I almost wished I'd went with a burger and soup. Almost.
One minor complaint was that some of our food was on the not so warm side. It was a big group and to get all the food out at the same time I suppose there was a risk for this.
One huge kudos to them was there was no gratuity fee on the check. We were over 8 or 10 people which is when I typically see the 18% gratuity fee added in. There was none. This gave us control and encouraged us to tip above and beyond.
I will happily go back in the future. It was a great setting for a group our size and they were great with booking and confirming the reservation.
