Le Black Forest

The tapas concept is one that I truly enjoy allowing us to sample different things in the menu. But with so many options come a certain level of risks, meaning not all plates will as delicious as the next one. The food was tasty in general. Beautifully presented. The lemon pasta with scallops and the gnocchi were our favorite dishes of the evening. The griot Bao was underwhelming and the Bao bread was dry. The tiramisu cake was delicious while the eclairs were not worth it. The good thing is that the menu changes monthly.

If I could give it 3.5 I would ...but rounding up to 4 stars. I came to the black forest for dinner on a Thursday evening and got the Menu Dégustation for 3 people 200$ (apperently there is a 20$ off on Thursdays but they didn't apply it to my bill!). This menu includes 10 tapas and one dessert. The first 3 tapas were very disappointing...Shrimp ceviche served on a Tostitos chip? Then a beet salad which wasn't very tasty. And a lemon pasta plate with very dry pasta. Fortunately, after that it got much better ! Delicious plates of tartare, black sausage, veal, Haitian griot...my favorites probably were the Artichoke Naan with cheese and the Gnocchi. I like that there was a large parking lot for the restaurant.

Ordered the tapas tasting menu. For the price you pay, it's honestly pretty good. I liked a lot of the tapas, some of them I didn't. Cons: - Biggest downside is that the place gets so filled up and loud as the night continues, that it's next to impossible to hear the explanation of each dish when being served. - The whole service took a whopping 3 hours, for 12 small dishes. I've had other tasting menus with a place full of people, that took less time than this, and had much more food. - We were three people, but some of the tapas only came with two "servings" - Dessert is hit or miss - sometimes its two servings, sometimes its one, sometimes its all three. It really depends on which desert you choose, and they unfortunately don't explain that in advance. Pros: - Portions are good: it's tapas, what more is there to say - Price / person is stellar. Came out to about 100/person, tip included. - Servers, waitresses, and the chefs are patient and clearly care about their craft - Atmosphere is pretty nice at the start of the evening, but beware: the closer it gets to 7:30/8 PM, the louder it gets in there.

the food is very good for the price. fresh ingredients and good cook on them. every components work well on the plate. i would still be happy if the price was higher. the only down is the service time...it takes way too long. i sat there for 30min before my order is taken. And there was only like 10 dishes on the menu. the dishes took too long to come out as well...But food itself is perfect especially for this price.

I had such an amazing experience. We had the best waitress!! She was super friendly and very quick and efficient. Every plate I took was so tasty and every component of the dish blended so well together. Their menu changes every month and they also offer a type of tasting menu. I highly recommend this gem!

Very nice restaurant, not too chic, just enough! The ambiance was a bit loud, but not unpleasant. The food was fantastic and the service was very good as well. There was a bit of delays in the dish delivery, but nothing that could have reduce our enthusiasm and our overall experience. I was with my 3 foodie kids, and they were very well received which definitely a plus for me. We all enjoyed every part of the experience from my kids’ mocktails up to the deserts. Special star for the tasty sweetbreads with chocolate crumble and the irresistible clam gnocchis! I am eager to go back to taste the famous octopus!
