"We went along to The Blackbird the other week on a Tuesday evening to sample their offerings. We had both heard good things and were very much looking forward to our visit. Initial thoughts on walking through the door was that it had more of a pub which served food feeling. For some reason I had it in my head that it was a restaurant. We were warmly greeted after we entered and told our table was almost ready (we were early) and did we want to have a quick drink at the bar, and unsurprisingly indeed we did want to have a drink at the bar. I was pleased to see the excellent Williams Brothers Joker IPA on tap and swiftly ordered a pint. Miss Edinburger went for the equally tasty Sierra Nevada (I’ve clearly thought her a thing or two about beer). When standing at the bar enjoying our beer we noticed some comfy looking sofas at a couple of the tables, the bar area had a cosy feel and struck me as a perfect spot for a quiet Sunday afternoon drink. Although trying to get out of those sofas after a few may prove trickier than it looks! There was also a number of tasty sounding efforts on the cocktail menu up on the wall I knew we would have to come back and try a few of those bad boys regardless of how good the food would turn out to be. A few minutes at the bar and our table was ready. The friendly waitress showed us through to the dining area which is in a separate area at the other side of the back wall of the bar. The food menu was impressive, there’s a good compact selection of tasty sounding dishes with plenty variation. Our initial plans on sharing a starter went out the window when we couldn’t decide between the Innis Gunn beer battered tiger prawns with honey beer dipping syrup or the coconut crusted chicken with peanut butter and chilli hummus so we did the sensible thing and ordered both. For main course I went for the pie of the day which was steak and haggis with all butter puff pastry and twice cooked cut chips. Miss Edinburger went for the Mushroom"
