Black Oak on Fifth

The first appetizer we got was good but it took over an hour to get food. And after more than an hour we just couldn’t wait any longer and decided to eat elsewhere. Waiter said the food would arrive in 5 minutes a good 10 minutes after originally telling us the food would be here in 5 minutes. When asking another person about an update on food he straight up said “i don’t know”. Many tables who were here way after we were got food first which makes absolutely no sense. Was super excited for this place and am very disappointed.

Traditional Italian restaurant, newly decorated. Nice waitstaff and bartender. I would Go back

I was visiting family in NY for my birthday and we decided to try this place on my last night. I am so happy we did! The service was great and the food was delicious. Their pasta is cooked to perfection and seasoned well. I really enjoyed this place and will definitely be back on my next visit.

Went for the eggs purgatory, was not a fan, it is essentially shakshuka, but was very tomato sauce-y and there was no flavor to it, and definitely no Parmigiano Reggiano on top. We also got the burger which was good and the French toast which were also good, the seasonal fruit was strawberry’s and mangos. For us personally the highlight were their drinks, we got the Irish lunch which was delicious, and the Illyia (with the flowers in the photo) also very good

I made sure to check their hours online and showed up over an hour before the posted closing time, but they had already closed early because it was a slow day.

Nice little restaurant. Enjoyed the meal, quiet and unassuming. Good neighborhood spot.

Can't say enough about this place! The food was tremendous. We got two dinners and a pizza. (Amazing pizza with prosciutto and arugula. Yum!) Service was great, very friendly, and a terrific vibe. Can't wait to get back there. ❤️

Dope spot for brunch , took my daughter/mom here this past wknd . Get the French toast won't be disappointed. P.s. Chicken and waffles no longer available for brunch
