When I first walked in I saw a bunch of old white people and I thought to myself oh boy… but the food pleasantly surprised me. The ambiance was amazing and the neighborhood beautiful. For such a pretty place the prices are reasonable.

Definitely a gem of a place.

Our meal was delicious, reasonably-priced and perfectly-seasoned, plus the waitstaff were attentive and graciously accommodated our request to share entrees. I appreciated that they provided good bread and butter, and salt and pepper shakers, on the table – a rare thing these days. The restaurant setting (in a building that houses a post-office and the local mayor’s office) is also charming, and there is ample and easy free parking nearby.

Last night was my third time eating at BMB and it was the best yet! The food is always amazing (the shrimp and grits are heavenly!) and the atmosphere is cozy and comfortable – probably best suited for a romantic date. My only complaint was that the waiter did not check on us again after the food was served until it was time for the check and he seemed to be in a hurry. We had to literally stop him from running away from the table when we were mid sentence and still ordering. Nevertheless, that’s not enough to stop me from returning. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in the area.

Black market bistro is such a pleasant surprise out there in Garett Park next to the Marc train station very charming nice service good selection of food dishes, decent wines has it all and all with local area parking in you know quiet spaces. Shrimp and grits seems to be one of their home runs very cheesy and the lobster risotto not the best I’ve ever had but decent – the oysters were nice. Apple crisp high on the crisp low on the apple but overall:Very good. Nice date place. Recommended.

I have been coming to Black Market Bistro for a long time, which is why this experience was especially disappointing.

We were the only table not offered bread. Drink service was slow and poorly timed. The diet cokes were not brought out until after the soup had already been served, and it took far too long for anyone to even come to the table to offer drinks in the first place.

When the waiter finally came by to give the specials, he was carrying a stack of boxes in his hands, which felt careless and unprofessional. To make matters worse, when the silverware cloth was unraveled, there was hair all over the silverware. That alone was enough to raise serious concerns.

The staff was rude and dismissive when issues were apparent. At that point, we asked for the check and left. Overall, the service felt inattentive, sloppy, and unwelcoming.

For a restaurant with a solid reputation, this level of service and cleanliness is unacceptable. Consistency and basic standards were clearly lacking during this visit.

My family had been a few times, but I never set foot in it until summer of last year. I now know why my family loves it so much. It feels like you’re having dinner in a friend’s home who might make better food than your own home. I had the pasta with pesto the first time and it was something I’ve never experienced before. I ate the entire thing in one meal, which is not usually my style as I usually end up having leftovers the next day or have a take-home bag. I’m going back this coming week and I am beyond excited for it.

Beautiful historic place with good food and atmosphere. Friendly service, too. The fried oysters were an enjoyable way to start, and I really enjoyed the shrimp and grits as an entree. The dining room had charm and character, but the menu kept the experience tied to the 21st century.

Rather expensive and rather underwhelming.
Cute vibe … Gilmore stars hollow inn … but entries were all 35 to 45 and lacked … skill, quality, and excitement. Hanger steak was like shoe leather, bouliabase was 4 mussels and 4 shrimp in tomato sauce, but scallops were simple and exquisitely prepared, so much so, our dining companion was reluctant to share. Portions were adequate in size, currant soda bread served before entries. The atmosphere was pleasant and intimate.
Would ordinarily say its worth a second try except my dining companions had eaten there twice in the past four months and said this was typical based on the previous… so based on that, its a basic recommend rating. Okay 3 star food, acceptable 3.5 star service, nice 4 star atmosphere, and … at least for my visit experience … excellent 5 star dinner guests.
Recommend (with mild reservations)

Fantastic steak and eggs brunch at this charming, local gem. Warm, homey vibe (it’s literally a house) but fast service with tasty home-cooked recipes. Would definitely visit again for breakfast, lunch and dinner! It would also be a cute, intimate date place.
