What Eric L likes about The Piston:
Something of an oasis opposite Long McCuade music. Particularly pleasant on a warm day with the front windows open or on the back patio. Easy accommodation of a group that likes to come on July 19. Nice selection of beer and pub food, reasonably priced. View all feedback. What Malliano doesn't like about The Piston:
We are a group of regulars who often go after work to the Black Horse and usually have great service. The patio in the summer is a particular treat. Last night our group were enjoying a few drinks as usual and after a couple of rounds saw that our server was watering down the wine with an odd apple juice/soda water combination.

We had a staff party here last year and the food was to die for Shane is helpful and charming !

The Black Horse restaurant offers a great patio atmosphere in the summer and typically provides excellent service to regulars. However, an unfortunate incident involving a server watering down wine with an odd concoction left a negative impression on a group of diners. The menu leans towards Greek cuisine, with satisfactory dishes such as a steak and Cajun chicken sandwich. While the service was lacking in attentiveness and follow-up, the cozy ambiance and reasonable prices make it a decent spot for a casual meal. The restaurant's comfortable setting and great cocktails make it a good choice for a relaxing night out. Overall, the Black Horse offers a nice selection of pub food and beverages in a cozy setting, but may benefit from improving aspects of service and consistency in food preparation.
