I went to the Columbia location with my friends last night and had a fantastic meal! I loved the Chesapeake pasta dish I had! I normally don't go for creamy entrees but this one was worth it. And the service from Darelis was amazing ! She was super friendly, knowledgeable and gracious. We couldn't stop talking to her.

Ambiance is fantastic. It's so nice and cozy. Our waitress was so friendly and helpful with suggestions on the menu. The food and drinks were so good. Great margaritas and the butternut squash soup was delicious. We had 3 different flatbread pizzas and they were all so good. Will definitely be back!

The food was great the service by Darelis was exceptional.That is my new"go to" restaurant

Okay, so I normally don't post reviews, but honestly, this is post worthy. The bar service was hands down, top notch! I requested a drink which they didn't have on the menu ..and lo and behold, Edward and a lovely bartender (I didn't get her name) went out of their way to accommodate me. They made two drinks that were hands down, the bomb! The level of service and details were impressive. If you're looking for great service, attentive bartenders and just down right awesome folks, Blackwall Barn is the place to be! We will be back. Cheers.

Food quality is always great, drinks very well made and delicious desserts! Ysa was our server and she was very knowledgeable about the menu items!

We were in Columbia MD again AND as promised went back to Blackwall Barn & Lodge for Sunday Brunch!!! We actually were able to enjoy more variety of the food this time. Our waiter Besnik was wonderful and attentive. He gets 10/10 on customer service! If you're looking for great ambience, great food, great service and great live music, this is your place!!! Enjoyed it!

Overall - 3.5/5 Service (1/1) - Wife and I went in for a lunch date and found the service to be very pleasant. Crowd was low but the server was very attentive either ways. I let her know we are vegetarians and she explained through the vegan menu but also other vegetarian friendly items from the main menu. She also helped us understand Blackwall's mission, explanation of farm to table and local sourcing. She had regular check ins with us as well. Setting (1/1) - Blackwall is located in the new complex with many great restaurants such as Dok Khao and Tostique. However, Blackwall provides its own unique experience. They have well decorated outdoor sitting but even bigger inside. Setting allows you to come for work, friends outing, or dates. Only issue I had was with the booths, table legs are awkwardly positioned, coming in way going in and out. Drinks (0.5/1) - with trying only two drinks, we had a mix experience. One was overly sweet while the other was overly sour. Balance was off on both such that I ended up ordering a coke. Concepts of the drinks are great but execution could be better. Food (1/2) - Now to the food, food was really great for the most part. Quality of the ingredients were top notch. Started with Caprese Canoe with a nice sweet and tangy dressing accompanied by olives, cherry tomatoes, sweet peppers, and fresh mozzarella. This was definitely our favorite dish out of all we tried. The Brussel sprouts were well cooked and tasted decent but lacked crispness for me. Side of asparagus was average. For main course the pizza was average as well with the crust a bit on the chewy side. It also seemed the pizza was dunked in oil, with all that cheese releasing tons of it, partly the reason of the dough loosing its crunch. Lastly the risotto for me was the biggest let down. Under seasoned, undercooked, and missing flavor. I love a good risotto but this let me down. Harissa did bring a hint of spiciness but that was it. The dish was only taking one direction. I had to pack it and asked my wife to help me redress it at home. Overall, the vibes are great and some of the dishes had decent flavors but I felt wanting more, expecting even better next time.

We've been here a few times but this visit was not as good as our previous visits. Plus side was the service. Other than a longer wait our server was very friendly. We also had multiple managers check on us which was different from prior visits. The food wasn't at the same level as prior visits. I had mahi which had little flavor. The lemon parsley also was flavorless. The plate had too much spinach and overpowered everything.

Review Blackwall Barn and Lodge Columbia Nice to get out from these freezing temperatures and celebrate a birthday. This restaurant is well appointed with a Wild Western country home feel to it. But it's all about the food today. We had their popular Flaming Crab Dip with its entertaining presentation of flambé at the tableside. Creamy cheese with crab dip was tasteful served with several finger sized naan pieces to dip. We also enjoyed the Fried Green Tomatoes with Cherry Peppers and Garlic Crab Remoulade that added an additional kick. Lunch selections: Chicken Pot Pie- served hot with the a generous filling of chicken peas, carrots, mushrooms and other veggies blended with what I had hoped would be a thicker herbed sauce. It was tasty and very filling, I could not finish the whole thing. Lodge Burger- is what I have enjoyed before. It Valooks fully loaded with cheddar cheese, nice thick pieces of bacon, onions and the other fixings. My husband did not want the fries (but they are nice and crispy) so it can be replaced with a side dish. We went with the roasted Brussels sprouts that had a huge mound of crispy bits of bacon and shallots with a honey Dijon mustard sauce that he appreciated. Lemon Chicken Linguine- they make their own house- made pasta daily. So the birthday girl enjoyed her dish. Desserts: Sorry no pictures were taken. I wasn't fast enough. But found the Decadent Chocolate Cake, moist and not too sweet. Peanut Butter Cake- was a bit heavier and sweeter but easily demolished by our group. Wait staff person was very helpful and gave us nice explanations of the days specials. He was attentive in the beginning but then we didn't see him for longer periods as the restaurant got busier. A nice place today come and celebrate a special occasion or to just have a break from your own kitchen. Food is tasteful, well presented and satisfyingly tasty and filling.

I have visited this restaurant's Gambrills location several times and decided to try this location out while visiting the area. I love the look and feel inside of this establishment. The lighting, tone, textures, and overall design is identical to its other restaurant but felt even more cozy. My waiter/bartender was excellent. He was extremely nice and personable and he made me the best lemon drop martini and purple rain drink. I can't wait to return in the near future.
