Now the important part.. the wings. They were some of the best wings I’ve had in a while. They were golden and crispy, not too saucy and had such a great flavor. If you need a new wing spot Black Smoke is your place
Service was extremely disappointing. Drinks weren’t refilled, we had to repeatedly ask for water and condiments, and no one checked on us after food was delivered. When I asked to split the bill into two checks (knowing there was automatic gratuity), the server seemed annoyed. The final bill was delayed and then the card amounts were mixed up, adding even more time. We spent almost $550 with $84 tip which easily could have been higher if we were attended to.
Both the server and manager acknowledged poor staffing but offered no real resolution except they were short staffed. The manager suggested I message them on Instagram and he would have his son send a gift card. While the drinks and music were enjoyable, the poor service completely ruined the experience.
I understand staffing challenges; but accepting a reservation for 18 without the ability to properly serve the table is unfair to both guests and staff. Sadly, this embarrassing and should have been a special annual event.
Service was quick. We didn’t have to wait for a table. Waitress was friendly and kind. Food came quickly as well as drinks. Great selection. Food was top of the line. I love a good wing and wine.
I will definitely be making this a restaurant I visit often and recommend to anyone who asks where to go.
Service was terrible and slow. My group was not checked up on once food was served. Drinks were not served promptly either. When the complaint was made, it was stated that the restaurant was short-staffed that day and it was mentioned that they would give a gift card for a next visit. My friend that coordinated this reached out to the restaurant in numerous ways to find out how to access this gift card. She was ignored multiple times. My friend then went back to the restaurant and was told management was not there. When she finally did speak with owner Shane, he was very argumentative and did not seem to care to resolve the issue.
My friend then made a post about the awful experience and tagged the restaurant. She was then messaged by Alyssa who stated to maybe not come in the restaurant, asking for the owner and “bash” him when he is not there.
This is absolutely unacceptable. Short-staffed or not, things could have been communicated much clearer from the beginning. I cannot fathom a restaurant not caring about a bad experience that an especially large group had and not make it simple to resolve the issue. Instead, my friend has been dismissed and ignored. The level of unprofessionalism and lack of concern is alarming. I do NOT recommend this place to anyone. This place really needs to do better.
