BLK SWAN

The decor and ambiance were definitely on point. I went on a Saturday morning at 10am--right when they opened. I had a reservation for 10:15AMMany of the things I wanted to order were unavailable, so that was frustrating. But the service was good. Music was great but too loud. I'd come back but I would call in advance to ensure they gave what I want.

The vibe and decor at BLK Swan are definitely a highlight, and the drinks? Solid. Our table tried a few, including the Jameellionaire (strong!), BLK Swan (very tasty), and Smokin' Mirrors (good as well). If you're coming for cocktails, you won't be disappointed.Service was good! Good suggestions and prompt service!As for the food: * Chicken buns - 7.5/10 The sauce is great, but the chicken itself is bland. * Pizza - 7/10 Thin crust. My friend said it was just "alright." * Broccolini - Pretty good. * Smashburger - Good, but very cheesy. * Truffle fries - HARD PASS. These are not the truffle fries I expected--no oil, garlic, or cheese, just fries with truffle flavoring.One major downside was the entertainment fee--which wouldn't be so bad if the entertainment was actually enjoyable. Instead, they kept playing the "birthday song" for people on repeat (3x while we were there), and the music was so loud that you could barely have a conversation.Overall, the consensus at our table was that the food was mediocre--nothing terrible, but nothing mind-blowing either. If you're coming for the aesthetic and drinks, it's worth a visit. If you're coming for the food, just know it's "aight."

I've been to BLK Swan twice and both times, I have not been impressed. You're paying for the name and the ambience because the food is mediocre and the service isn't great. Is the restaurant gorgeous? Yes. I love the decor and it feels like I'm dining in style. The presentation of the food is pretty but I wasn't wowed by the taste. Also, the portions aren't very big. Both visits, I've left paying a huge bill and was still hungry. The only thing I enjoy is their cocktails which are still pricey. And also, why are they charging an entertainment fee?? As much as I want to support Black owned businesses, I feel there are other Black owned restaurants that deliver so much more than the experience of BLK Swan.

Went to Black Swan at 11 AM on a Saturday. You definitely need reservations. It was not crowded. Service was good. Fried chicken was the bomb French toast loved it. Music was good. Drinks were OK. Would definitely go again if I came back to Baltimore there's definitely a soulful vibe here great place

The lamb chops were my favorite thing we tried all night. They were perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked. The wings were also very tasty. I was disappointed in the amount of asparagus especially for the price. I will also say the drinks are really pricey and not much alcohol. The restaurant has really good music and a good vibe. The staff was friendly but the service was a little wonkey. All our food didn't come out at the same time and then we didn't get two of the drinks we ordered until we were done with our meal.

Let me just say that I truly enjoyed being served by Diamond. She was the best. Very attentive, went down the menu in details, energy was amazing. Ask for her! The Dj was cool but I didn't know that I would be charged a 2.99 entertainment fee.. that was new lol. Seated right next to the DJ booth I was still able to hold a conversation without yelling and eardrums being blasted out. Now the food.. I wasn't blown away but I have nothing too bad to say about it.. the cinnamon bun and the croissant were both on the dry side to me, they were a shareable size. While my omelette was pretty tasty it was like warm. If it was hotter I think I would have enjoyed it a little better. My friend that joined me was not impressed with her meal. While she stated that the salmon was cooked to perfection she said her grits reminded her of cream of wheat rather than grits. Appearance wise they were definitely on the creamer side. As a first timer it was nice but I wouldn't run back.

Came here yesterday for brunch and it was okay, left a bit disappointed.I ordered the lobster, egg and cheese croissant and it was mediocre. Barely any jam and one fried egg (one egg, whilst the menu said farm eggs, plural). Looking at another photo the sandwich appeared full with fluffy eggs. Not worth the $. I ordered bacon on the side (which took a long time to receive), and two pieces were overcooked and dry. Everyone at the table could tell my disappointment. Others at the table ordered the fish and grits and the short rib omelette which looked more appetizing, so stick to those if you come here for brunch.Service was okay. When more patrons came into the restaurant, we saw less of our server, and had to wave him down to get his attention several times. They actually charge a $2.99 or $3.99 entertainment fee on the check, I'm guessing for the DJ? That is a first for me.The best part about this restaurant are the aesthetics inside. I thought its decor was chic and the photo booth was a nice touch.Don't think I'll be returning.

BLK swan has really cute aesthetics. I went for dinner last Saturday. The music was great, staff attentive, and food came out timely. Me and my girlfriend ordered the Mistletoe Martinis off their holiday menu. It's a good bang for your buck. 2 drinks for the price of 1. Since our reservation was kind of late, I ordered a salmon chef chop salad which was so good with thousand island dressing. I also ordered the truffle honey marshmallow cornbread for the table, it was so good and moist. Never had marshmallows on cornbread before, it was so tasty I am going to attempt to make it at home.

This food is amazing! I have never had a French toast that did not need syrup. Oh it was so good! The fried chicken wings were not overly seasoned and the eggs were fluffy. I cannot say enough about this food! I sat at the bar and the bartender gave such great suggestions; which were all hits! The decor of the restaurant is beautiful; surrounded by images of beautiful black excellence. Definitely worth the trip! I'll be back!

Food was amazing!! Chicken seasoning was some of the best I have had. Great decor and music.
