 Intro
The
Black Angus is slightly out of town with ample
parking, in contrast to the intown congestion.
The newly comleted patio is a pleasant addition.
The interior of the steak house is most attractive,
with warm dark green walls, white partial partitions
separating areas of the dining room, and a small
bar nestled near the side entrance. Steak dominates
the menu, at least four varieties are offered
along with traditional selections of chicken,
fish, and pork. This spot is ideal for parties
of ten or more for which the management will make
special arrangements, setting the group apart
from the main section of the diningroom. 
Ambiance  |
In
our late May visit the hostess described the new
nearly completed patio addition, a perfect opportuntity
to enjoy dining alfresco. The interior of Black
Angus is wonderful. The large space is separated
by waist high partitions, providing privacy, but
preserving a view of the entire room. The contrast
between forest green and white colors create an
elegant feeling not often found in steak houses.
The staff is friendly and helpful, but were not
tested for the crowds of the summer ahead.
Food |
We
began with the mixed greens and lump crabmeat salad.
The mixed greens were ordinary, something that should
have been crisp and fresh, but the crabmeat very
good.
A special of the evening ,ribeye steak for two,
was our choice, for which we ordered side courses
of garlic spinach and asparagus with olive oil and
parmesan. The steak was good. The vegetables were
excellent. For dessert we selected a six layer chocolate
cake and cheesecake with raspberry sauce. As with
the dinner, these were good, but not exceptional.
Other Observations:
This
is the spot to try when you want to avoid the
congestion of downtown. A family party or celebration
is ideal here; call ahead and plan with the hostess
for that special occasion. The decor, inside and
out, offers a relaxing setting to enjoy an outing
on the island. We would love to hear your impressions
of The Black Angus on a crowded summer evening.
