"When we walked in we were told that they were short-handed and that there would be a wait. In less than a minute, we were seated. The service was excellent, I could not tell at all that they were short handed. The portions were huge and though my pork chops were not what I expected, the fried fish and baby back ribs that my friends had were great!"

"I was hoping this visit to Blackfinn would raise my rating to 4 stars but no such luck. We had a great meal and great happy hour deals on wine. The service could have been better. I don't know if it were poor because we were in the bar area or for some other reason. We had a small party: there were 3 of us. Oh well....I may return in another year-ish."

"Good beer selection. Food was tasteless and the presentation was poor. Also, paid $7.00 for parking after five on Friday and was just for one and one-half hours."
