Although it look more like a trendy lounge, Black Bottle actually has quite a few large tables and serves great food. They have a very simple menu of asian-fusion style small plates and almost every thing we had was quite good. Each had a little different twist than what you would expect. Since they’re small plates you can order a couple a person and get to try almost the whole menu with a large group.

hmm, after reading the other reviews, i kind of wished i had tried some of the tapas dishes… but oh well, i guess i do always like desserts better anyways :)

so i came here on a weeknight for some dessert and wine to celebrate a friend’s birthday. the ambience was really great — bustly and lively, but not so loud that we couldn’t talk to one another. the servers were also really accommodating, as we kept having to add more chairs (and eventually even append a second table!) to our group.

so in summary, a nice place for groups, but i actually think it would be even nicer with just 1 or 2 others.

After a meal with friends, the location makes it really convenient to go clubbing later without having to park again. The tapas here is fun to share with 4-5 people and a good selection of wine. This is the Sanjaya of tapas-style restaurants really. Highly recommended!

From the outside, Black Bottle looked like a small, narrow bar with a few tables, but they have a good sized room in the back with tables to accommodate larger groups. The service was very attentive, and the food was surprisingly delicious. Dishes are served tapas-style here, but you should choose wisely – some dishes are much more filling than others.

It’s very easy to find. It’s right on the corner of 1st & Vine… It’s very dark/dim inside, fits the name black bottle…. It’s also very loud and noisy. The service is quick to ask for what you want to order, but delivery of the dessert/drinks is rather slow…

I ordered a mojito and the chocolate cake w/gelato icecream. The mojito had very strong mint leaves taste, and the chocolate cake was dry and tasteless.

The table was wet and seats are not very comfortable. To make it worst, the washroom is not very clean…

I am very disappointed, reading the reviews I thought it would have been a nice place to go with my friends…. Less I ordered the wrong food?

I really like coming to this place for small get togethers. Its intimate and carries a soft ambiance that makes you feel nice and comfy. I always order the blasted broccoli. Its the best!

I’ve been to Black Bottle at least 3 times now. I’ve liked it every time I came. This time my friend and I ordered ceviche mahi-mahi, fresh sardines namban, and fried tofu with house made peanut dipping sauce. I liked all 3 dishes. Ceviche was nice, and was my friend’s favorite. I really liked the flavor of sardines, which were a bit dry for my friend. Tofu was really nice and filling too. I like the atmosphere and I’d definitely go back. They actually serve hot tea as well there on Friday nights, I had a very nice green tea.
