They accommodated my gluten allergy by switching out beer broth muscles for these AMAZING blueberry ribs. Seriously some of the best meat I’ve had and the highlight of this meal. Other than this the desert was wonderful and the service was nice too. Didn’t love some of the other dishes sauce pairings. Was a little too salty for me. But nonetheless a great dinner for a special occasion.

Started with a selection of three cheeses (perfectly described by our charming and knowledgeable server), followed by the best mussels I'veever had. Rutabaga tagliatelle and duck breast also delicious. Sourdough bread with miso butter a must-have (if you're intobread of course). As others have noted, portion sizes are a little small, which is generally expected for such a fine diningexperience. I did think the duck breast could have been a little more substantial.. they were nice enough to split the portionin half for my date and I, but at $42 there was only about 3-4 bites for each of us. My only minor criticism. Vanilla pavlovafor dessert rounded everything out. Great music selection I should add ???????? Don't miss a near perfect culinary experienceat Blackbird.

We had the tasting menu, and I will admit that a couple courses were out of my comfort zone, but it was enjoyable and a bit adventurous. Definitely a treat.
