    We had the mussels, calamari, and the Brussel sprouts appetizers. The Mussels were the best I have had. The calamari and sprouts were good. We especially liked their old fashions. I love this place.

    Great selection of seafood. The octopus appetizer was yummy and large. They give you San Francisco style sourdough bread with your meal. All reasonable priced versus the price gauging restaurant options. The service was top ranked. We will be back soon.

EVERYONE there - including GM Mark, Mgr Samantha and Servers Mia and Kim - made our evening, memorable. Their team of chefs, cooks, food runners and everyone on the team made the food outstanding - including the Lobster tails and their new appetizer of Blue Cheese Mac & Cheese! Thank you, Black Angus! Merry Christmas and looking forward to seeing you guys in 2025!
