The Black Swan

Make sure you have a reservation!! Restaurant is good/okay, the decor carries the experience while the service is questionable. First thing that threw us off was we arrived at the restaurant around 7:10 PM, when we checked in we were told that we needed a reservation otherwise the wait time would be 8:15. We were planning on finding another restaurant until I looked on Google and saw that the earliest reservation available was 7:45 and so on, so we arrived at 7:45 and got seated. We noted that the restaurant wasn’t really packed/we saw several available seating for our party of 4. It took about 45 minutes for our main dishes to come after finishing/waiting about 20-25 minutes for appetizers. We got the honey siracha wings and humus platter as appetizers, the wings came in a nice quantity but the sauce was a little off putting. The humus and naan was very good but came with raw vegetables like radish, carrots, celery, etc. which I personally wasn’t a fan of it tasted like they weren’t washed properly. For our main dishes we got a Bacon Burger with fries, Chicken Tikka Masala, Herb Chicken with potato wedges and a side of macaroni and cheese. The fries come in a cup and there isn’t that much but the burger was good. The chicken tikka masala was my second favorite after the herb chicken although it was the rice I believe that had a weird aftertaste. The naan remain consistently good though. Finally, the herb chicken was amazing no complaints, but the macaroni and cheese although baked, was lacking flavor and oily. The most frustrating part of dining here was that we waited 30 minutes to receive our card back after paying the bill which made us rush back to avoid being fined. We left the restaurant around 9:25 PM. Our parking time ended at 9:38. In those 30 minutes we had to track down the waitress who supposedly misplaced our card while in the back. Weird experience. If anything time was what knocked this review down two stars. At least there was nice live music I guess.
