About The Black Dog Tavern

The Black Dog Tavern offers a surprisingly good dining experience, with great food, service, and atmosphere, even during off-season times. The menu features a diverse selection, including the highly praised Barry's Breakfast with exceptional smoked salmon. Conveniently located near the ferry, the tavern serves generous portions that satisfy even the heartiest of appetites. It is a small, cozy waterfront place where everything seems to be made fresh, in house, and to order. The menu may be small, but the food quality is excellent, with dishes like codfish and red snapper prepared as per the menu entry. Guests enjoy tasty appetizers such as calamari, which is flavorful and shareable, with warm marinara sauce that enhances the lightly fried squid rings, which are juicy and soft—not dry or crunchy. The staff, including Zack and Tyler, provide top-tier service, making visitors feel welcomed like family. The atmosphere is friendly and fun, especially with activities like trivia nights where guests have even won money. Prices are reasonable for fresh seafood, and the overall experience combines great food, attentive service, and lovely views, making it a highly recommended spot for both locals and visitors.

never again!! got served raw food, horrible service. manager was just as bad as the server. man did this place go downhill fast. I have been coming here since the eighties. I didn't even buy a tee-shirt. so overpriced. what used to be a nice little restaurant, has now become a tourist trap. so the tourist can have it. this place will not get anymore of my money. Disappointed and Done
