"There is nothing like the outdoor dining at the Black Forest on a beautiful day. Everyone in our group enjoyed a relaxed lunch to celebrate a birthday. Even though some menu items were not available, everyone found something wonderful to eat and left happy."

"Had a good experience with dinner at the Black Forest Inn. It was a Sunday night, so the restauruant was not too busy. The service was good and the food was good solid German fare. We will eat here again, hopefully when the weather is a little nicer."
