inviting the world
There's something beautiful about a dinner table... Dreams are shared there, hope is raised, ideas are made, and love is exchanged. Good food and good conversation can change everything.
The Black Spoon's mission is that, no matter which one of our tables you sit down at, you find a welcome place where you can feel comfortable, slow down a little, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
Good food, great drinks, delectable desserts... none of them are elevated by the clothes you wear. Whether you're in running gear or formal attire; whether it's your anniversary or a regular Tuesday night, the Black Spoon invites you to sit down at our table.
Laugh, love, and live there... and we'll delight you with our service and excite you with our plates while you do!
