Black River Tavern

Today was our first visit to Black River Tavern. My husband and I were looking for a late lunch expecting bar food. What we received was an eye opening wonderful experience! We were greeted warmly by the manager and ushered to our table. We had Kara as our server and she was phenomenal! We didn’t expect the food to be hand crafted…what a fantastic surprise. I had the beef brisket which was hearty and tasty…not fatty and stringy. My husband had fresh walleye on a subzero January day! The drinks were artisanal creations…the pomegranate margarita was the best I’ve ever had. The manager gave close attention to detail without being hovering. Kara’s service was spot on and we didn’t feel rushed. We discovered a diamond at a very affordable price point. Although it was our first visit, it certainly won’t be our last! Bravo!

This was our first visit, and it was a very pleasant experience overall for my wife and I. It is quite the location, the look is very impressive without being overwhelming. They host special events there and I could see where that would be a great fit for your big day or night out. We went on a Saturday around 6:30 and were very pleased to not have to wait for a table. We were greeted as we entered by the host and she led us to our booth. The dining room is very nice, with a fireplace. (not burning when we were there) If I had to make any adjustments to the dining area it would be this. Tone down the very bright lights. 💡 For dinner, I decided to keep things very basic. To this end, I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with fries and my wife ordered the beef brisket sandwich with onion rings. My burger was perfect. just as I ordered it. Cooked through but not dried out. I ordered a Caesar salad to go with it. Very traditional, with homemade croutons. 👍 My wife greatly enjoyed her brisket. Messy, delicious and perfect with the onion rings. the beer and cocktail selections should please most.

Brunch is great! Also came here for a dinner before My server Katie was attentive and so friendly. Her smile is contagious. The rest of the staff is also very friendly. A nice hidden spot in Elyria for good food!
