| - I had a great experience with The Black Pig. I planned a celebratory dinner for 14 of my lovely friends, and the management did a perfect job accommodating all of my requests. They were able to give us the entire upstairs so our evening was private and extra special. At my request they had two sparking wine bottles ready for us when we got there. Our server was very friendly and helpful. They have a good selection of beer, wine, and cocktails. One of my buddies didn't get his drink for a long time, and our server apologized profusely and his drink was on the house. Totally unnecessary but very appreciated. My only complaint of the night was that our entrees took a super long time to arrive, but with 14 people this is understandable. And the chef made sure each entree was cooked perfectly and brought out at the same time. For this, all is forgiven!
The food was absolutely delicious. Everyone was happy with their meals. The Berkshire pork belly was melt-in-your-mouth delectable. I love everything pork belly (if you read my reviews, then you know), and this appetizer was quite possibly the best bit of piggy belly I've ever put in my mouth. The garnish of nuts was just a wow addition. For the main course, I ordered the Berkshire pork (an ode to pork, if you will), which consisted of different forms of pig: sausage, moar pork belly, tenderloin, a hot dog (yes, and it was so good) and another type of pork preparation that I simply can't remember because I was in nirvana while eating this dish. Everything. Was. Divine. The dish was seasoned perfectly and the meats sat on a lovely bed of mashed potatoes. My favorite was definitely the pork tenderloin. This was a big boy-sized entree and the leftovers tasted equally great the next day. My boo ordered a fresh pasta dish cooked in a nutty sauce that was also delicious, but pork all the way baby.
Overall, thank you, The Black Pig, for a great night! We left with our bellies full and satisfied. I can't wait to come back to try their brunch!
