“Be prepared to send your meal back”

Something must have happened in mid-October, because we completely agree with the previous two review and cannot understand the earlier high reviews. Both my husband's meal and my meal were so disappointing that we gave up, took the steak home for our dogs and went out for hot dogs for ourselves.

The salad was very fresh, as were the mixed vegetables with the entree. Had this been a vegetarian place, that, and the courteous waitstaff, would have been good signs. But we were using a gift card to go out for beef. My steak tasteless, tough and very rare, not even close to the medium rare that I ordered. The mashed potatoes were overspiced and mushy. My husband's baby back ribs were cooked OK, with a layer of barbeque sauce that tasted straight out of the can. His roasted potatoes were tough.

We should have been suspicious when stopping by earlier in the day to confirm our reservations. Made through an electronic service that did not confirm, we decided to check. They had no record of our call, and only one reservation in the book for a busy weekend evening. There were few cars in the lot, and few patrons, but the candlelight and white tables clothes suggested the romantic, upscale place we have been promised. Only after we got there did we notice the white cloth were vinyl, the booths cramped and the bar set with a television to entertain the staff who outnumbered the patrons.

A couple near us sent back on of their dinners, another left before ordering, and at least one came in, looked at the menu and left. With that, and the numerous issues with each plate, we decided to give up and not even bother to ask the restaurant to fix it. Arguably, we should have given them a chance, and certainly if we had been paying without the gift card we would have had to deal with the distraction. This way, we avoided the unpleasantries and moved on. At least our dogs had a great treat the next morning.

“Underwhelming”

We visited tonight from out of town with a party of 8. The setting is comfortable and the waiter was very helpful and courteous and attentive. The food was so-so. Several of us ordered filets. While the vegetables served with the steaks were delivered hot, the filets were lukewarm to tepid. When you have your heart set on a nice filet you want it sizzling when it arrives. The menu is large and the desserts were good especially the bourbon pecan pie.

I am not quite sure what to make of the rave reviews of this place. The only reason it doesn't get the lowest rating from me is because my wife liked her chicken meal and the server was apologetic about the lousy meal I had. First of all, my daughter's mac and cheese kid meal came ice cold on top and blazing hot on the bottom, obviously nuked. She was starved and tried to eat it but said it tasted bad and wouldn't finish it. $4 down the drain. I had ordered a prime rib. It was so tough that I could barely get the knife through it -- I had to saw at it to get a piece off -- and it had an old, unpleasant flavor. I sent it back, something I rarely do. The replacement steak wasn't a lot better and though I was able to ingest it, I basically suffered through it in order to have sustenance and just be done with the ordeal. I left with a roiling stomach and $75 poorer. Despite the high ratings from others, I would certainly not recommend this place.

This restaurant was a little expensive for us but you recieved good value for the money. My ceasar salad was classic and the best I have had in ages. My husband had the roasted red pepper soup and loved it. The entree's were tasty. The desserts were very good. My son had the brownie sundae. It was melt in your mouth delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

“Excellent restaurant”

Black Angus Grille

Jul 30, 2008

I love this restaurant. I just visited Williamsburg with my family in July 4th weekend. This restaurant gave me a big surprise! The food was great, prices was average, and the services was excellent. Plus, this is definitely a family friendly restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant for everyone.
