Start with the positive - food was wonderful! Only things to keep in mind if dining here: 1) music is loud and so irritating. Didn't think I'd be dining in a rave, and 2) service staff was scrambling and having a hard time keeping up with all the guests. Example - server took our drink order, a cocktail and a beer. They only arrived at the same time as our dinner which was 30 mins after we sat down. I had seen this in a previous review but had hoped they solved this issue, but...read full review
The air con was broken when we went, so "ambience" is a difficult point to comment on, but it's a very well-appointed and designed space, comfortable as well as stylish. My shrimp & grits was perfectly delicious, though, warning, perfectly rich as well--can maybe eat it once a year but I have no regrets!--and my friend's fish and chips were the best I've seen (fantastic fries!).

The food is absolutely delicious. We had shrimp and grits and fish and chips. Service was great, thanks Jennifer! The cocktails were pretty, but a bit foo foo. Dessert awesome. I would definitely return.

Blackbird, located in the Hotel Californian, offers a pleasant dining experience with a friendly and attentive staff. The menu features dishes such as mushroom risotto, broccolini, mussels, oysters, and a variety of cocktails. Guests particularly enjoy the focaccia bread, which is highly recommended, as well as the Brussels sprouts. The oysters are fresh and delicious, and the soup is praised for its tastiness. The ambiance is nice and relaxing, making it suitable for intimate dinners. The food is fantastic, with the rib eye and spicy chicken sandwich being excellent. The staff is attentive and provides good suggestions, ensuring a positive experience for the guests. The restaurant offers a beautifully decorated, intimate atmosphere, reminiscent of the classic film "The Birds" by Alfred Hitchcock. The waitstaff is described as lovely, and the presentation of the dishes, such as the scallops, risotto, and wagyu beef, is exceptional. The black cod, though beautifully plated, is said to lack in flavor, but the tuna crudo and yellowtail are must-try items, along with the oysters. The overall dining experience at Blackbird is highly recommended, though guests should be prepared to spend a considerable amount of money on the menu.
