All in all, this experience was a definitive letdown and I do not plan on returning to Blackfinn.
I am a big fan of Blackfinn. They are not perfect, but they are great! There are a variety of events you can attend, and they have a laid back, yet still nice, ambience. The bar is really popular, so it can be a fun place to go for drinks. It can get pretty crowded on weekend nights, and the music is way too loud after midnight. The staff is always nice, and the food is really good! They serve local craft beers, as well as the full bar. Prices are reasonable. This place serves a variety of purposes, from work parties, drinks with friends, lunch, brunch on the weekends, or dinner!
There was live music
The food was delivered in a reasonable time, but was average as best. Our order specifications (no cheese due to a dairy allergy) were also ignored. Our original waitress passed our table multiple times with no acknowledgement or apology regarding her negligence.
The white wine was better than the red since it was as bitter. We order 8 different Appetizers (during Happy hour) and everything tasted quite delicious. I couldn't remember much since we were all tipsy half way through our evening.
After being seated without a wait, we promptly received our drinks. After that first 3 minutes, the experience went downhill. After waiting for nearly 20 minutes for our waitress to return and take our food order, I took it upon myself to place an order for food at the bar as our waitress was M.I.A.
I was expecting a couple drop of sample each time but instead I got half a glass every time they fill my glass
I have never had a good experience here. The food (when you get it) is ok, nothing amazing at all. It's the service that sucks and has for the last three years of me trying to give this place a change. I have waited to be serviced for over 20 minutes, on a night that was not busy at all. We ended up walking out and reporting it to management, who in turn did nothing but offer an apology. On the slim chance you do get service within 20 minutes of sitting there, it takes another 20 before you can even get a glass of water. If you wants atmosphere, this place gives it to you, if you want good service, this place does not. The only reason I am being generous enough to give them 2 stars, is because the bar staff. Anytime I have ordered a drink from the bar, the bartenders have always been nice and delivered good service. If you have to pick places to go in the Saint John's Town Center, there are places that are far better.
I came here last month with my girlfriends when they hosted the Hallowine event. I pre-ordered the ticket first for 6 samples of wine. When I came, we were each given an empty glass and a ticket to get our wine samples.
We can't wait for the next Wine event!!!
Southern nacho and ying yang shrimp by themselves are worth going here, amazing. Service in the bar area was fast, waitress was pleasant, it wasn't busy/crowded at all. I can't wait to go back for Sunday brunch.
