What User likes about Blackbird Cafe:
I have a birthday dinner. they were very accommodating when we brought cake. the dinner was pretty good. steak was made exactly right, although the salate that came with him did not have a dressing. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Blackbird Cafe:
Staff are unprofessional and absent most of the time. There is no atmosphere because of the lack of customers. First time going here and will not return. Very disappointing. Asked for my steak to be medium rare, it came out practically raw. I tried to get the attention of the server but they were not interested in sorting out the issue. Generally i love supporting local business, but can not stand behind this one. View all feedback.

Talk about a palaver to get what you actually order! They have stuff with insanely similar names and then screw it up twice! Really. Once we got what...

Terrible experience, for was overpriced and underwhelming. Will not be going back. The owner, an older gentleman was also quite arrogant.
