The not so good: The prime rib was pre-sliced and placed in a warming drawer at the chef's station. It was cold and tough after a few bites. The hot anjous was helpful but the meat was still dry. The manager was receptive to my comment about the chef, with long hair, didn't have a hair net or other means to prevent hair from finding it into the serving dishes. We may try this place one more time.

We were both quite pleased. If you know me at all, and have read my reviews, you know my comfort food is a good burger and fries. I had forgotten how good Black Rock's burgers are! Perfectly cooked and reasonably priced. The fries were plentiful and delicious, and their bottled root beer was also quite good. Our server, Sue, was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. I am happy to have rediscovered Black Rock and first will be my "go to" restaurant whenever I am in the area.

I started with the shrimp cocktail, followed by the surf and turf, which included a filet mignon and a lobster tail. The shrimp cocktail was served hot. It was actually good, but it was the first hot shrimp cocktail I've ever had, so it was a bit unusual. When my surf and turf arrived, the filet was overcooked and the lobster tail was undercooked. When the bartender asked how everything was, I told her. She responded that they could put the lobster tail back on the grill to cook it longer, but there was nothing they could do about the filet. I agreed to have the lobster tail cooked a bit more. Unfortunately, when it came back, it was overcooked to the point that it felt as though the chef was trying to make a point rather than fix the problem. This is a one-and-done restaurant for me.

I flagged it to the bartender since I needed to mention it to someone. Someone did come by to check on us, but by that point I'd already finished my meal, so there wasn't much to be done -- in hindsight, I probably should've said something sooner. The warm broccoli side was fine, nothing special, but ringing ironically the warmest thing on the plate. On the plus side, the blueberry lemon drop was fantastic and honestly the highlight of the meal. For a steakhouse, the steak is the whole point, and mine missed the mark. Still, that lemon drop cocktail almost makes up for it.

Finally, a babysitter and a date night with my wife for Valentine's Day. We decided to check out…read moreThe Oak Room as we love The Elms, another local restaurant with the same owners. Unfortunately for us, The Oak Room fell far from the tree family. Upon entering the vintage estate, you are met by 5/5 ambience and a truly enticing looking dining experience. This is the point where our dining experience peaked. Read on if you want the full tea. In a nutshell, our evening was a series of disappointments painted onto a theme of incredibly slow service. Regarding the service, at the 1:40 mark past arrival, we had still not received our entrees. We watched all the tables around us wait and wait for their checks, only to have to finally request the check. It was not busy. My small 6oz water glass sat empty most of our 2+ hours there. With how salty our food was, this wasn't good. Service 2/5. For the food, 4/5. We ordered the beet salad hors d'oeuvres, which was perfect. An amazing plate. The butternut squash soup was incredibly sweet and not what we expected. Tasted like 50/50 squash/brown sugar. The duck entree and tenderloin steak were quite good, but not memorable. $65 for 6oz steak and no side. Was the crust of the side bread salted? Was the steak actually salted? Hm. More water please. Now the intangibles. Weird intangibles. So during this 1:40 waiting for the entree, I spilled my red wine and unfortunately my wife had a white shirt on. ‍ Good thing it wasn't a first date! A little while later a man walks up to our table and says Hi. Hi we say. My wife and I glance at each other, both thinking "who the hell is this?" Normal clothes, no name tag. Next he asks how was our food? Oh ok, manager or owner. Good to know. Well, we hadn't received our food yet and took the opportunity to ask if we could have it. Oh yeah, he looks at my wife's wine covered shirt and says "I see you have plenty of wine" and asks me if I would like to order another glass of wine. Did the owner just make fun of us for spilling wine and ruining a shirt? Yes he did. For the inconvenience of sitting there with no entree and rarely water for 1:40, they offered to reduce the check. They took off the glass of wine that I didn't get to drink. Throughout all this, I'm sitting in a broken chair that keeps catching my sweater and causing a snag. Overall, our experience was 2/5. Giving the benefit of the doubt, I'll rate it 3/5. If I want to spend 2 hours spending $200 and getting made fun of by a restaurant manager, I'll be back. If not, I'll go elsewhere next time.

Everything was solid but at this price point for the area, we didn't think it met expectations…read more The room itself was in a tastefully decorated in a country style and was nice. Some tables had nice views. The sommelier was quirky but very down to earth and made interesting recommendations. And then managed to spill the wine as he poured it. Service was attentive but uneven. One of our party got the tenderloin and ordered it medium. When it came out it was beyond well done. It took some time to flag down the server again and she whisked it back to the kitchen with an apology but then our table waited for the meal to come out while the rest of the food cooled. I was surprised they didn't offer something to make up for their rather obvious error. The tenderloin was not even remotely close to the requested medium rare. Maybe if it was closer to medium or closer to rare it would be understandable but this was beyond well done. We each had one drink and one glass of wine. One of the drinks was good the other was a very standard cocktail and was extremely watery and not made at all as ordered. For nearly $300 for two people this just didn't meet expectations.

I would go again for the prime rib but I'd pay the extra $3 to see if the upgraded sides are any better.

For my appetizer I got the truffled mushroom ravioli and it was so good I didn't want to share- but I did lol and everyone else liked it too. We all got the Cesar salad which was one of the best I've had- not over dressed and very flavorful. I got the sea scallops for my entree an loved it! Was worried about ordering it because when u get grit in a scallop your wary about ordering ever again but the server assured me that I would not be disappointed and they were absolutely right. The scallops were sweet and perfectly cooked. My only complaint was there wasn't enough. Feel like there should have been more than three because they weren't that big. Especially compared to the ribeye that everyone else ordered which was also prepared very well and enjoyed by all. Definitely a heartier meal if you're hungry. Carrot cake was the only option for dessert, but as a chocolate lover, I was not disappointed. It was the perfect ending for a delicious meal.

Our waitress was fantastic -- knew the specials, knew the menu, and brought great energy without hovering. The kind of service that makes you relax and settle in. My spouse and I kicked things off with espresso martinis (on the creamy, frothy side -- highly recommended if that's your vibe). Dinner did not disappoint: paired everything with a bottle of Cab, my spouse absolutely demolished a medium-rare prime rib while I went for a lean medium ribeye that hit the spot. Sides were solid, and in a rare moment of adult decision-making, we passed on the bread. Reliable, welcoming, and delicious -- exactly why we keep coming back.

On March 21, we had a reservation, but when we arrived, no one addressed us for about 20 minutes.

She then informed us that it was really busy and "it could be a while". I said back to her "well, that's a bad start", she said "I know". The whole restaurant had a strong fishy smell, which shouldn't happen with fresh seafood. No one came over to greet us until we decided to go to the bar to find a server. It was the same server who was attending to the table next to us, and she only acknowledged us after we spoke up. She didn't take our drink orders or offer us water. After we finally ordered drinks, we waited 20 minutes only to discover our drinks sitting at the bar--our martinis had already become warm. As for the food, the Rib Eye steak was perfect, but the Shrimp and Scallop Scampi was terrible, and the other pasta dishes with lobster were just okay. Overall, it was a disappointing experience with mediocre food and inattentive staff. I will not be returning to this restaurant again.

WARNING: Unaccompanied women are unwelcome at Country Spirit. I never would've guessed that…read moremisogynist businesses like this still exist, certainly not in the northeast. The mostly female staff are not only highly unprofessional, but (most of them) also clearly struggle with "internalized sexism". Following is only a sampling of actual events that made me feel very uncomfortable and unsafe. I typically only post exemplary reviews, but feel a strong moral obligation to warn other women. According to my bank records, during the past 5 years living in the area, I've been to Country Spirit every couple months or so. I've taken friends and dates there, who all complained about the food and service; but I kept going because it was a handy local spot for quick lunch or takeout. When visiting solo, I'd usually sit at the bar and grew accustomed to long waits for service. Many visits, the longtime patrons (mostly men) helped me get the bartenders' attention. Several voluntarily reassured me that "this is just how female bartenders treat female customers." So, I decided to not take it personally, and always gave the same 25%++ generous tips that I do everywhere I go. Aside from service, at least 2 takeout orders contained wheat bread, even though I'd explicitly ordered gluten-free (due to my tumor from celiac disease). Each time, I patiently waited 20 more minutes for them to recook my meals. Another visit last year, I asked a cook why the prime rib was overdone (even though I'd ordered it before the serving time); and he assured me it was a one-time anomaly that would never happen again. But sadly, it did happen again. Oct'2025, I'd stopped going there for 8 months, because I'd simply had enough of the horrible service and food. A few weeks ago, I gave it one more chance and had a brief pleasant visit. Today, I stopped in for a late afternoon cocktail; and after a sip of my drink, one of those same longtime patrons began complaining about a couple bartenders by names. I nodded empathetically, but added nothing. So, I was SHOCKED that within seconds, one of the 5 female staff targeted only me and asked me to step outside. She didn't even know MY Name, but asked me to leave (and not return), because I'd allegedly been "repeatedly badmouthing" the establishment. I asked how that was possible if I barely spoke to anyone today and only stopped in twice over the past 9 months!? She insisted that she was relaying this from the Owner (Sara?) who I'd never even met before. Obviously, banning any customer on baseless paranoia (in lieu of any civil resolution) demonstrates only emotional volatility, NOT professionalism. I'm nearly 50yrs old and a semi-retired business professional and my wardrobe reflects that. I live a quiet peaceful life and have never heard of anything like this. Even-so, I kept calm, debunked her false accusations and wild exaggerations, then peacefully left. Ultimately, I'm grateful to have finally been exposed to the utter lack of "spirit" at Country Spirit. I hope no other women endure this pointless targeted harassment, and shall trust my instincts if I'm ever treated with such disrespect and disregard ever again.
