Blackshop - Cambridge

Have eaten here and was pretty good. It wasn't that night. Three of us had duck and it was hard to get a knife through them It was a Saturday night and the restaurant was very busy so we were on soldiers. We should have brought it to the attention of the server, but it was cleaned away from her feet. Problem could have been that duck is usually carefully cut. In this case it was a big piece. Just didn't work.

You won't find more delicious food anywhere else. The service is outstanding, and the atmosphere is always peaceful and elegant. Treat yourself and be sure to stop by next time you're in Cambridge.

The food and service is always excellent, but tonight the live musicians were excellent. They made an extraordinary evening a magical one. Thank you.

We had reservations and sat right away. Our server was very friendly, helpful and efficient. We all ordered different nets and were all very happy. We found the deserts very expensive for their size.

Perhaps 4 1/2 stars would be more accurate. Large restaurant with a mix of cozy tables indoors and out and space for large gatherings. Service was excellent. Just implemented a new menu which apparently included new pricing. We shared a delicious but small serving of...mussels and also ordered and enjoyed the small homemade bread board $8.00). Both main courses were served hot. The roasted duck breast was flavourful but smaller than expected. Beef tenderloin was cooked perfectly and this was a decent size portion. Both dishes could have benefited from a larger serving of vegetables which were delicious). Carrot cake was enjoyed later at home. This is a lovely spot for a special occasion. Upscale warm ambiance, top notch service, and flavourful dishes. We recognize that prices are going up everywhere but we did note that in comparison to other recent experiences elsewhere portions here were a bit smaller/pricier. We did enjoy our dinner and the whole experience.
