Blackbird

A great eatery for the evening especially for the weekend. We didn’t have to wait long for our table but while we waited, we were serviced by the bar. The ambience exuded chill vibes and good vibrations. Our waitress was attentive and easily assisted us on how we should end our evening in terms of beverages & food. Eager to try other items on menu. What a grand ending to our exploration on Main Street.

My daughter and I arrived and were seated at the bar immediately. It’s a cute farmhouse, open kitchen atmosphere with cozy candle light. The menu is approachable with standard ingredients from Italian staples. We ordered the Housemade Burrata, the Cauliflower (not listed in the online menu), and the Tagliatelle. Every dish was heavy with complex sauces often covering the “star” ingredient. The tagliatelle was not packing a huge flavor punch. Overall I felt the menu was overpriced. All that said, the service was excellent, the food was good (not great), and the atmosphere was very quaint.

We went for our Anniversary and we felt stuffed in a dark corner depressing. The appetizer of bread and housemade burrata were our favorites. Very expensive main courses were one note and lacked pizzazz. Spent over 150.00 easily and left hungry for more. Ambiance was nice but the squished feeling was unfortunate.

I ordered the bread and olive oil and the risotto. The risotto tasted like bland baby food. The bread was fantastic, but the dipping oil, tasted like oily chemicals. Kind of lemony but bitter. The almond cake was wonderful. The menu was really lacking as far as variety. I had a hard time deciding what to order.

I have 3 words for you… Wood. Fired. Oven. *drool* Mouthwatering flavors in every dish. I love sitting at the bar overlooking the kitchen and watching the magic happen. This talented team serves up deliciousness dish after dish. The pizzas are absolutely incredible, the meatballs and fresh bread in marinara is *chef’s kiss* and the drinks are delicious. Make sure Blackbird is on your list when dining in Bozeman.
