The dinner menu at Black Lamb is eclectic and has something for everyone. Appetizers were generous portions to share. The service was perfect but the noise level was high mostly because of the ambience of the dining area upstairs - open and high ceilings.

I recently visited this restaurant and had an amazing experience. The oysters I ordered were incredibly fresh and delicious, truly a treat that made me feel like I was by the coast. My favorite dish was definitely the Zuppa di Mare, a perfectly seasoned seafood broth packed with flavor. The service was also outstanding; my waiter, César, was very attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and top-notch service. I'll definitely be back!
