    Overall disappointing experience. The ambiance of the restaurant was quaint and relaxed. Service was fantastic, our server was incredibly friendly and attentive. The food however completely missed the mark. Maybe an off night for the kitchen but our entire group was taken aback with how off each entrée was.

    We went for New Year's Eve, 7:30 slot. Table (2 top) was available at the time promised, but it was not as nicely placed as a 4 top and they let us take that instead. There are a variety of setups, and I suggest that when you make your reservation for two people, try to get the 4 top in the corner! No specials, surprisingly, but it turned out that they had a new chef who had just come on board & didn't want to add specials to his learning curve quite so soon. Waiter was very helpful. Noise level was the usual too loud, but not too damn loud. We had beet salad (excellent), pancaked veggies (okay) lamb shank (pretty good) lamb chops (excellent) creme boulle (excellent - we got the plain version). Selected the Farmhouse Red, which went well enough with our selections. Probably should have gotten the Tempranillo since it was used in preparing the lamb shanks. I had a Manhattan which was good enough, but next time I"ll pay more attention to what whiskey is used rather than just accept the bartender's selection. Cost $166, not including tip, which is reasonable these days. Definitely will return again.

    A lovely small spot in East Lakeview where foodies and home cooked meal types can both be satisfied! It is a Chicago neighborhood restaurant at the top of my return-to list. Fantastic salads, exquisite lamb and kebabs, and a memorable cheesecake. Great wines, too! Enjoy!

    Very small restaurant, but it adds a certain charm that is very rare to come across. Excellent food and wonderful service. Would absolutely dine at Black & Caspian again.
