Really good steak dinners; place isn't really for a quiet meal, but it's got a lively atmosphere and the wait staff are top notch. 10/10

The chicken piccata was delicious, and despite the lack of a photo- the whipped raspberry cheesecake was MAGIC! I would go back just for dessert. Cute spot, nice vibe, leave room for The dessert though because seriously, not your average cheesecake... the fluffy creamy deliciousness! read more

This place is spectacular!!!! We had to wait 30 min on a Tuesday night to be seated but it was well worth the wait!!! I made the drive from Puyallup to try this place. Everything looks delicious. Attire is casual. read more

Amazing spot for dinner. Food was great. Service also good. Dessert also amazing. Not one bad thing about this place other than it's only open 4 hours. I wish they had a killer breakfast! Can't wait to go back! read more

Not often the wife and I sneak out for dinner alone. We went to one of favorites only to be disappointed. We arrive to a mostly empty restaurant which filled up after us. We ordered right away. 3 other tables of couples came in after us. We waited with empty glasses watching all 3 tables food arrive and waited with the waitress not coming over or looking our direction. Finally the chef came out and apologized that there was a mix up in the kitchen as another table ordered the same meals. We totally understand mistakes happen. However the other tables were leaving as we were getting our food. We were never offered a discount or knocking our non-alcoholic drink off the bill, or dessert. Food was great, don't get me wrong there. Was a total lesson in poor customer service. And this place used to set the standard. read more

The food is amazing, but I always ask for mine to have it very lightly salted. The servers do their best to take your order quickly, and get the food to you as soon as possible. The seating is usually taken anytime we go there, and that is most likely part of the issue. I hear now that they are using Table? So I think the wait times will be much better. But as a "walk in" when I've gone there, it's been a wait Getting there by 4 o'clock usually gets you in quickly. If the place is packed, and people are waiting inside or outside, expect at least a 20 to 30 minute wait if after 5. I'm more than happy to deal with it because the food is incredible. The restaurant is spotless, lots of windows and just a few outside tables for summer use. I'm not sure what it is about the building, perhaps because there is mainly hard surfaces for sound to bounce off of, i usually find it difficult to hear someone talking to me. At my table, end up now for noticed, any white noise or light music playing in the background that sometimes helps that. The voices of patrons especially at the western side where larger tables seem to be present consistently, carry easily through the restaurant. For people have hearing issues be prepared that you may not hear your own table very well. If it does, ask your server, when are the best times to come, ie when are the least busy days or times may be the best times for you to visit. Look over the information I've shared that i feel correctly reflects my overall view. In this place on the map? It's definitely worth a visit, even if you have to drive 45 minutes to an hour or more to get here, then, there are lots of drives and other places to visit while you're here during day. read more

I love this restaurant. Rudy and his team are excellent. The food is fresh and delicious. My favorite is the spaghetti. I also love the lasagna. The Italian chop salad is lovely. I highly recommend this is a great restaurant that does not disappoint. read more

Been in on Monday for dinner twice. Everything was great except live clarinet music. Way too loud preventing any dinner conversation.

We came here on a Saturday night to celebrate my sister's birthday and were very impressed overall. The warm bread with oil was a great start, and the loaded potato skins ($13) were delicious even without the ranch. Drinks were solid and fairly priced: a spruce tip golden ale ($6.75), Modelo ($6), margarita ($15), and two glasses of German Riesling ($23). Entrees included chicken Florentine (subbed with shrimp for +$3), chicken fettuccine Alfredo, and fettuccine primavera (with shrimp for +$7). Everything came out hot, seasoned well, and very tasty, though my Florentine was light on spinach. Desserts were a highlight--raspberry cheesecake that was fluffy and creamy with a good crust, and a rich crème brûlée that disappeared quickly. The restaurant itself is small and cozy, set in what feels like an old home. Inside has around 15 tables and can get loud; the staff accommodated our request to move outside to the porch, which turned out to be perfect. Service was friendly, though our server forgot small requests like bread and to-go boxes until later. Prices felt fair, portions were generous, and the menu is well-balanced. My only real nitpicks: no Pinot Noir on the wine list (surprising for the PNW), and the Florentine could use more spinach. Parking is limited to a few street spots or a dirt lot across the way that seemed fine. Bottom line: excellent food, cozy atmosphere, and a great value. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area--and even worth a little road trip. read more

Best restaurant in the area hands down. Great food, friendly staff and good atmosphere. I've been multiple times and always enjoyed. Only complaint is it fills up so fast if you don't get there early. Highly recommend read more

We really enjoyed our first time here - set in a home turned restaurant the setting really has a home town/small town feel. The service was friendly and helpful, despite being very busy - the recommended of the pumpkin cheesecake made the night (it was amazing!!). I had the Top Sirloin with veggies - cooked to perfection and was just delicious, one of the best I've had anywhere. Wife and kids loved their meals too. Place is great and we will be back!! read more

Delicious dinner last night! I highly recommend Ceasar salad, bacon cheese burger and the chicken parmegiana- chicken topped with mozzarella and tomato sauce. Of course we took home 3 loaves of garlic bread for family dinner the next night. Complete with garlic butter at $3 a piece. A steal!!! read more

The food is exceptional. Menu offers several options plus a couple of specials. It is a place I recommend plus will be on my list of places to return to read more

Went to this little gem of an Italian restaurant in Black Diamond. The first restaurant we truly enjoyed in the MV-BD area. Appetizers: We ordered the Crispy Calamari and the Chicken wings. Calamari along with its dipping sauce was yummy. Wings weren't the best, a little dry but the kids enjoyed it. Definitely order the Calamari! They served us garlic bread which was nice while we waited for food. Entrees: Our party of 5 tried the Chicken Florentine, shrimp scampi, spaghetti and meatballs, the Caesar salad and the chopped salad. The grilled chicken breast on the salads were so well seasoned and char-grilled. The Italian dressing on the chopped salad was yummy too. The spaghetti and meatballs were very tasty didn't feel like the sauce came from a bottle. While I didn't try the rest, we all enjoyed the food thoroughly. Pasta portions are huge too! The shrimp scampi doesn't come with pasta like at other Italian chains. Desserts: The best part of the meal...... The tiramisu.... Don't ever enter and not order this! This place isn't stingy with the dessert portions. It can be easily shared. It's a tiny place but very cozy and extremely friendly staff! Will definitely be back! read more

Great local restaurant, awesome pizza, salmon, salad, and fantastic steak. Love the atmosphere as well!

Food is excellent, staff is exceptional, but nightly specials board prices are totally misleading, clarify before you order. After asking more than once about the prices, our bill was 2 times higher than we expected. read more

Delicious meal! The restaurant is a small space, but not cramped. The staff were friendly and we got our orders taken and food delivered in a reasonable amount of time. Excellent dinner choice. read more

Black Diamond Grill - chicken marsala - Italian Near Me - Black Diamond, Washington

A really cute grill/italian restaurant in Black Diamond! My husband and I like going here on a casual date night. Also a special place for us since this is where we ate after our civil marriage ceremony. They give you complimentary garlic bread, they are always so fresh and warm and delicious. We've gotten a couple appetizers (fried calamari and bruschetta) and they were always delicious and fresh! For our main course, we've gotten a variety of items and I can say it's always delicious. My favorite is the pear Gorgonzola ravioli! One thing to note is that this is a small restaurant and it does get packed quickly after opening time! Be ready to wait! read more

I visited Black Diamond Grill on Sunday night with friends, and the experience was fantastic! We were seated right away around 6pm. The server was very friendly and offered us small tastings of the bottled wines we were interested in before we committed to one for the evening. The food was absolutely delicious. I loved my angel hair Margherite. There were great tomato and garlic flavors, and the shrimp was perfectly cooked. My fiancé ordered the cowboy steak with shrimp, which came with mashed potatoes and veggies. His steak was cooked just as requested. For dessert, we had the tiramisu, which was sweeter than most tiramisus we had in the past, but it was one of my favorites. The texture was perfect. We will definitely be back next time we visit Black Diamond! read more

The food was fantastic! I had the chicken Marsala - very flavorful. Our serve Amy was great! Very personable and put up with our crazy table and the different things we wanted. It was a little loud at first but that's probably because of it being small but comfy. You get used to after awhile. Would definitely go back! read more

Great dinner with a group of 5. The front of house staff really made our Christmas eve dinner special. We walked in without reservation and waited around 20minutes to be sat. Our server was kind and friendly and we weren't rushed out the door, able to enjoy our meal with family. Large portions and tasty food. The bruschetta was a particular hit with our group, and you can't go wrong with parmesan brussels. Chicken picatta and parmesan were both greatly enjoyed. My linguine with clams was boxed pasta and the clams were a little off but the sauce was good. Overall a solid dinner spot in the neighborhood! read more

This place is small but wonderful food. You need to make sure you give yourself waiting time , especially on the week ends. But it's totally worth it . read more

It's always a fantastic meal here. There can be a wait but it's worth it. The staff is awesome and the food and drinks are awesome as well. I really love the pork chops! read more

Go here! The food is amazing! The owners are so nice! And the porch seating durning sunset is to die for!!!

The food wash Great, the atmosphere is energetic, and the staff is wonderful. This is a very busy restaurant, so plan on having to wait 15-30 minutes, but IMO, it's worth the wait. read more

Went on Friday, right after they opened, and some of the tables were already full, and within the next half hour all tables were full so reservations would be a must. Food was delicious. But then the 3 of us just ordered appetizers and we shared. Nice decor and very friendly service. Will be back. read more

We had a reservation for a party of 10, and I'm glad we did. Very quaint and eclectic decor. The food was amazing and they had not only Italian dishes, they also had steaks and burgers. There is something for everyone. read more

Food was good but I wish their ravioli was without pears in it. This would really help with another good vegetarian option. This place is fcfs as there's no reservations. The place is pretty small too. read more

Wow ! What a pleasant surprise to find this place in Black Diamond. Not only was the food excellent but the wait staff treated us as if we were long time regulars. The down side is that this gem is over an hour away from my home in Bellevue read more

Come early or come.late or get ready to wait.. on their outdoor open air porch --great in the sunshine...once inside you are treated like family and restaurant has that old.time farmhouse feel with "good vittles" However, the food's a bit more upscale. Try the cowboy ribeye special steak @$59 or the Lobster dinner @$34-lots.of yummy pastas and of of course save room for dessert the Cream Brulee @$10.50 or.the tiramisu @$10.50 are stellar- cheers al read more

So, we were on our way to another local establishment, and saw the lights on in this super cute cottage style restaurant...and I immediately yelped it and went in with my husband and my youngest son to enjoy a nice dinner. First, we were greeted and seated immediately, and ran into an acquaintance that raved about the "bread before dinner" I didn't know what she was talking about until we got it...a plate of the yummiest soft bread drowning in a garlic butter. We also ordered a side caesar salad ($6!) which was plenty for all 3 of us to enjoy while waiting for dinner. We ordered right away as everything looked amazing on the menu (I forgot to take pics of the menu, but ...they have: pizzas described as individual size, but I think it's perfect for 2 people ($12-$15 I think). Several kinds of burgers & fries (see my pic...my son got the cheeseburger). He loved it! Pretty good size too!! I'll attach a photo of the receipt so you can see prices. My husband and I split the pear & Gorgonzola ravioli and the margarita pizza. The ravioli was a generous portion AND the creamy sauce had the perfect amount of Gorgonzola...not too overpowering...and tiny little bites of sweet fresh pear. It was DEVINE! If we were at home...I may have licked the bowl clean, lol. The margarita pizza was good too. We asked for no red sauce as the last couple times we got a margarita pizza at other places, it had an overbearing amount of red sauce. So we specifically asked for an olive oil base...which was good...but I'm wondering how it would've been with their red sauce. Next time Overall, this place js a HIDDEN GEM We never seem to venture out of our local area, and there is NOTHING special about any of the places to eat around here. I'm so happy we went to black diamond and discovered this place. Jessica's, our server, was an absolute sweetheart! And she explained that the owner & his wife (Rudy & Daisy) actually live upstairs in this adorable cottage. Jessica's explained that both of them work in the kitchen and behind the scenes...I love that! You can tell how much they love this place with the amount of love they put into their food! I don't really even want to post this review, as I'm worried about everyone finding out about it, lol. I want to keep it my little secret. So if you go, please enjoy everything minute of this adorable restaurant Thank you Jessica, Rudy & Daisy!! I hope to meet the owners next time! Wishing you continued success!! And please don't raise your prices or sacrifice the amazing quality and quantity of your dishes...it was PERFECT! read more

This place is a gem tucked into old town Black Diamond. The service was very friendly and personable. The atmosphere was cozy, dark yet warm and inviting. The food was really, really delicious! We both had the shrimp scampi. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the sauce was light yet flavorful. The side bread was warm and delicious as well. Can't wait to go again real soon! read more

Exceptional experience! Awesome staff, delicious food, old town antique atmosphere is lovely- top 10 favorite place!

Still 5 stars! Arrived at 5:00'for Friday night dinner and wished we had arrived when they opened at 4:00. Seats only 49, so by 5:30'when all tables were filled and people were all into the drinks and kids were happy to be out, it was noisy. Sitting in the center of it all made for an uncomfortable atmosphere. Fortunately the food and service compensated. Chicken Parmigiana and Fresh Salmon entrees were what one expects. No complaints on the food! Enjoy. read more

This place is a newer place that will soon be in the cute residential and marketing area of the up and coming Black Diamond and it is definitely a great small business to eat at!! We absolutely loved everything we got. They do have a very selective menu but I promise you will not be disappointed by anything you get. I did think it was weird at first that they served burgers, but I ordered a burger and it was amazing. Honestly one of the best burgers I had. The meat was nice and thick with lots of bacon, cheese, fried onions (kind of like onion rings), and some really good special sauce they had. I did get it without the lettuce, tomato and Mayo but it was super good. Everyone else got their own personal sized pizza. They were perfect for 1-2 people or to have left overs, while everyone just ate the whole thing. You can customize the pizza however you like and they also have premade options. They also have pizzas you can order for multiple family home. Definitely stop by if you go or live in the area. And yes, it is take out only. read more

We went in for dinner for a birthday celebration and the service was terrible . It took forever for server to take our order then she never brought our appetizer. She also never bothered to ask how our meal was once we had our main entrees , and she brought our check when we were finished and never bothered to ask about dessert. Never coming back! Also the salmon option is farmed salmon . The server did not know when I asked when she was taking my order but went back to kitchen and asked. With the availability of wild salmon why are they using farmed? I ended up with salad that was mediocre at best. read more

Best dinner ever. Food is great, servers were excellent, one of our favorite local places. You HAVE to try it!!
