Blaq came with good reviews so I booked it for our 33rd Anniversary Dinner. When we arrived (on time) we were kept hanging about in the cacophonous main dining area. The (eventual) waitress was charming (but had no idea what a kir royale is) and kindly moved us to the less noisy terrace, though this was inadequately provided with mosquito deterrents, so it was purgatory....The food was OK (if pricey), as were wines by the glass (some interesting). Nothing was said about the Anniversary after all....
We won't be dining there ever again and have told all our friends that the place does not deserve the accolades (posted by some). Something about 'resting on their laurels' perhaps?

Restaurant is perfect just what you’d want for Saturday night tea. With great drink options
Food was tasty but a bit colder than I would have liked

We loved the food, service and lovely surroundings. My wife ate the snapper and I had the beef. We shared vegetables and a dessert. Everything was delicious and portions generous.

The snapper ($46) was well cooked and tasty but the pumpkin ($38) was extremely boring. A huge wedge of baked pumpkin on a bed of chickpeas served with two tiny pickled onions and something called "sour cream" (unidentifiable) was overpriced and under appealing. Why can't chefs provide delicious vegetarian meals?
The chocolate cake ($18) made up for the disappointment of the pumpkin and the cheese plate ($20) was good in its variety.
