• Contemporary American • Spring Lake
Whispers is the perfect place for a romantic evening. The Victorian ambiance, with its crystal chandeliers and elegant fine dining, sets the tone for a special night out. As one reviewer put it, 'The ambiance is very nice. Tables a little too close together. The dining room was full. Noise just a little too much. There was a smaller dining room with almost no one in it which have been used for the over flow crowd.' It's a quiet and comfortable spot for conversation and intimate moments.

Welcome to The Black Swan. Inspired by the pubs I fell in love with on my various travels, this re-interpretation of the neighborhood Public House represents an eclectic and updated take on the traditional pub. The Black Swan explores, embraces and combines various cultural influences to appeal to different tastes, offering unique and innovative dishes like Indian-inspired curries and pastas alongside more classic dishes like Shepherd’s Pie and Fish and Chips. I purposefully divided the restaurant into four distinct areas in order to offer something for everyone and I encourage all our neighbors to stop in at any hour, day or night. So come raise a glass with me at The Black Swan Public House, where everyone is Welcome. - Chef James

    Our server was definitely slow. Didn’t really look out to see what we needed, but the ambience is always nice. Their food is always good. We’ll definitely request Devon as our waitress

    We had a wonderful meal there. It was our first time and we will definitely be back. Four of us shared a couple of apps and then each had an entree. No one was disappointed. We also shared two soufflé- if you can save room they were terrific. We also love that it’s BYOB.

    When you step inside you are treated like a king and queen. The staff was so accommodating and the room was quaint. If you cherish a Victorian experience, then this is the place for you. The food was outstanding. We celebrated my son’s birthday who was born on Christmas. The entire room joined in to sing “Happy Birthday!” This made his day.
