Attended a dinner with fellow employees from Turning Stone Golf, will be returning next week with friends and our wives. The food menu is quite varied, the preparations are great and it’s all served by and excellent wait staff. Nice atmosphere but can get loud with large groups in attendance. Recommended.

We took my mother-in-law to the Black Stallion for her birthday and loved it. Our waitress (Annie) was so friendly and accommodating. I had the Chicken Francese and it was absolutely delicious! Their menu is quite extensive and has something for everybody. We’ll go back the next time we are in town. I highly recommend the Black Stallion!

Wife and I have been going here for the past 25 years. Went on Valentine’s Day, again, and as usual we were not disappointed. By far the tastiest meals in the area and no one should go home hungry. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area.
Good luck trying to pick what to eat! Between the specials and delicious standbys on the menu, everything has always been so tasty. Sal and Risa make you feel like family. Love this place!
