Black River Tavern - Elyria

The Monday steak special had so much gristle that it was not enjoyable. Our food took a long time to come out most likely because the kitchen prioritized getting out the food for a private party. My friend liked her chicken sandwich and fries. I would go back but not order the steak.

Black River Tavern is a great place to enjoy lunch or dinner. My friends and I went for lunch and everything was wonderful! The food is delicious and the service top notch. Highly recommend!

Looked this place up on TripAdvisor for a evening meal with colleagues whilst on a business trip. We were fed up of chain restaurants and wanted something local and different. The Black River Tavern didn't disappoint.The golf course was lit up with holiday season lighting, looked so lovely, the drive up was beautiful. The parking lot was empty though, do not let this out you off! Tucked in the right hand corner, a little darkly lit in comparison to the golf course is the Tavern. When we walked in, I was a little concerned as the place was quiet, but once again do not let that put you off.The food is to die for! It did not disappoint, we hit the jackpot. The food was pleasantly surprising very high quality, presentation was great, tasty and well balanced plate plus a good sized portions. I had the twin bone in pork chop and there was nothing I didn't like, the cubed potatoes, the veggies, the pork chop and the chutney was all delicious. Clean plate! My colleague had the stockyard sirloin steak and commented exactly the same.Our server was great, Mariah, she was knowledgeable and even warned us that the cooking time of the pork chop was little longer due to the twin bone. Appreciated that.After such a great experience, when we enquired at the end why they were so quiet, we were informed that they had a run of bad luck with chefs in the past. Well the current chef is amazing, definitely knows how to prepare a plate of food, and I am sad that Elyria is a 4 hour plane journey away from me, otherwise I would have been back. Therefore next time I'm in Elyria I'm super excited to try the Black River Tavern again, I just hope the word hasn't got out and it is hard to get a reservation there!
