Had dinner at Blackbird last nite with some friends from a past life in Florida. This was the second time I have eaten at the restaurant at this time I was not disappointed by the food.
OK, as always, there were things that could have been improved on but besides the elitist attitude it was a enjoyable evening. We started with a nice round of apps including: sucking pig with a gastric-like puree of fresh forest berries, some kind of lack luster cheese plate, but the winner plate of the table was a crispy Veal Sweetbreads. Gotta love organ meat. These we crispy..most places say crispy but its usually only a thin brown layer or they go the other way and are over cooked and rubbery (nothing can be worse...rubbery guts). These had a thick crispy layer but the inside was just creamy goodness.
The majority of the table ate fish for dinner ( go figure, Floridians) each plate did looked tasty. I ordered the duck breast and daffy never tasted so good. Desserts were great, I had a milk choclate something or other, with a delicious ice cream flavored with curry and coconut. It was Awesome.
All and all, the food is good but the tight space, volume and elitist attidute of the servers will not get me back anytime soon.....also too much use of "foams" on everything!!.
There are far too many great restaurants out there. GO FIND THEM!!
