Blackbird

Tips

• The two-inch-thick patty made with short rib from deli/butcher Publican Quality Meats is the star: The meat is velvety, juicy, and, true to its origins, screams quality. http://tmoutchi.us/YmTIHi

• "Here, pig is not a trend, because trends die, and at Blackbird, pork lives, and lives and lives. That night at the bar, the amuse bouche was a gorgeous ribbon of lardo." -Time Out on TripExpert

• Blackbird's newest dish is Cider-glazed salmon with miso, sunchoke, rapini & chamomile vinaigrette. It was inspired by all the planters everyone puts out on their front porch every Fall.

• Tim Fahys known for nuanced, offbeat desserts: Under ice cream youll find pickled raisins, or maybe a crunchy pile of streusel; ganache is at times made just with chocolate other times, with Ovaltin

• This restaurant can be expensive but at the same time their $25 three-course lunch is the best four-star deal in town. Try the pork belly or whitefish sandwich. Menu changes for dinner.

• Great value lunch for $22... Nice atmosphere, however waiters seem a bit lost... The cheesecake is to die for. Overall great little place.

• The bubblegum ice cream dessert is insanely good. Yes, you should save room for dessert.

• The lamb sucked. Desserts are all really good though. Most entrees are really overpriced.
