Came here on a weeknight without reservations and were able to get a table outside. We ordered a dozen oysters and I ordered the duck leg frites. The orange sauce made the dish super tasty! I also ordered an aperol spritz which was fine. The server was patient with our party of 6 and answered any questions we had. The outdoor patio has a nice ambiance. read more

Awesome food/atmosphere. Could have a couple more beers on tap but overall great experience. One bartender Jude? Judge? Coulda been more sociable and put a smile on his face but great place overall! Highly recommend read more

Perfect spot for a pre dinner happy hour. We were able to easily make a reservation by calling ahead of time. Our party of three was seated promptly and we quickly put orders in for 36 oysters during the $1 oyster happy hour, rolls, and drinks. There were three different types offered so obviouslyyy we ordered a dozen of each. Served with the typical sauces and vinegar, it was delish. Refreshing, salty, and hits the spot. The rolls were a good buffer between all the slurping. I ordered a cider and my two friends ordered cocktails they seemed to enjoy. Service is friendly and attentive, but not overly so. The place is the perfect upscale but still affordable aesthetic with the dark green walls, high ceilings, indoor plants, lamb wallpaper, and various types of seating (bar, high top, traditional table). Must try if you enjoy oysters and are in Boston!! read more

Made a reservation for three for dinner at 6:45pm on a Tuesday night and it was already pretty much packed by the time we got there. It seems like a popular spot for the post-work rush so I'd definitely recommend making a reservation. We sat at a high top by the open windows and got to enjoy the breeze. There seems to be a variety of seating options, including a nice patio outside. I got the Tom Collins and the salmon, both of which I really enjoyed. The salmon sat on a huge bed of vegetables and was surprisingly filling. Our waitress was super friendly and overall I had a good experience. Despite the food being delicious however, I'm not sure that I'd come again. read more

I'm a sucker for $1 oysters and this place did not disappoint. They have daily $1 oysters from 11-5pm. I loved them so much that I went twice in one weekend. The ambiance is so nice and the staff are super attentive. I made reservations for both times I went. There's a good amount of indoor seating as well as ample patio seating. The oysters varied in size, but a majority of them were pretty large. They came with cocktail sauce and two types of vinegars. Aside the oysters, I did also order the Veggie burger and it was a 10/10. It was filling and came with a side of fries and a pickle. read more

Flavors - 4 Textures - 3.5 Presentation - 3.5 Value for Money - 3.5 Would return? Yes Must-try: Cheddar and Scallion Parker House Rolls Black lamb had a Funky menu that combines american staples with mediterranean flavors. Nice place for a dinner date I'm a fan of Shakshuka and theirs is very unique (in a positive way!). The spices of the sauce were very balanced and the pumpkin seeds on top gave it a wonderful crunch, although my pita bread was not fresh and a bit tough. The cheddar rolls ($5) were warm, flaky and delicious. My Big Fat Greek Breakfast ($18) was indeed big and pretty good flavor wise, but kind of forgettable. I also a fan of weird dishes like the Roasted Cauliflower ($14) but the components didn't come together (perhaps personal taste). The Strawberry Shortcake ($12) was flavorful, although too sweet for me. PROtip: In my opinion dinner is better than brunch, but if you go for brunch order the cheddar rolls with maple butter read more

I ordered takeout while I was visiting some friends and working from home. My friends eat here often and had offered it as a suggestion. Great choice! I had the lamb burger with fries. Nice and filling! I do wish the burger had a bit more of the delicious sauce that was on it. read more

Came here for brunch with friends! My meal was DELICIOUS. The different textures and flavors on my plate were amazing. The tzatziki sauce was a great touch and added a nice freshness to the dish. The eggs were cooked to perfection. My only critique: the lamb meatballs were a tad salty and could have used a bit less seasoning. Otherwise, excellent! All the flavors complemented each other. The restaurant has a nice modern feel and the service is great! read more

Oysters were good but it's $2, not $1, during happy hour. It's decent quality and the ambience is nice so I still gave it good review. But I'd say it would be better if they weren't in all the articles as $1 and you go and it says $2. read more

This used to be our go to place in the south end. Always good food and good service . Tonight was just bizarre and so disappointing. When we checked in , we were told that we have an 1.5hour limit ( it's Monday night at 7;00pm) . We were ok with that and we were promptly seated . After waters were brought out and drinks and appetizers were ordered, we were asked to move to another table as the host made a mistake and placed us at the wrong table . Again, no biggie right ? So our oysters came out and by far they were the smallest and the worst tasting ( tasteless ) oysters I had ever had . $2 for a spec of oyster ? Please .. so it gets better : we ordered a steak , and a salad with a side dish . Salad came out once we were done with the oysters . We had the beet and endive salad which was fantastic! They took our plates away as we waited for the steak . After 15 min the waiter came over and asked us if we wanted dessert ? Huh ? I said " we're still waiting for our steak " he apologized and said the "the system marked you as green so I thought you've already had your food". So again we waited and the server brought out a plate of sweet potatoes . I assumed it came with our steak so I started picking at it ( since we didn't have plates or silver ware ). The waiter comes back , picks up the sweet potatoes and says " sorry wrong table " . ... by then I'm getting anxious and Hangry . Out steak finally arrived and it's COLD. I was so annoyed but hungry so we decided to just eat it in fear of having to wait another 30 min for our food . We finished the steak and still no sign of the side dish : I ordered the spring Spaetzle . So the cleaned up our plates again and then the server came by and asked " can I bring you a dessert menu "?? I just lost it !! I said "where is the side we ordered" ? She looked confused and walked away , came back and said " oh sorry looks like we might have given it to another table "! So we asked for our check , paid and left . So so disappointing as I really loved this place :( read more

Black Lamb was quite solid. We came here on a Saturday night--made reservations for the patio but despite the rain, they were able to move us inside at the bar. The bartending was excellent and attentive, both the gimlet and the white negroni were strong and tasty, refreshing for a late summer evening. Food-wise, we ordered 4 things to share amongst 3 women: the parker house rolls (piping hot, amazingly soft and fragrant), the artichoke dip (tasty but forgettable), the black lamb burger (VERY lamby with that meat flavor but well-cooked, on a generously sesame seeded bun), and the fried chicken (well-breaded, the breast was tender albeit a tad undersalted, with good cornbread, flavorful-yet-not-too-heavy potato salad, and refreshing watermelon/tomato salad). All in all, the food was quite good although not mind-blowing. Total was $42 per person after tax and tip, which isn't bad. Would definitely come back! read more

After taking the place of Stephi's we had to try out this place as it's so new to the area. We put off going in hopes that they'd iron out the kinks, and it definitely was not as loud as other reviewers have said. We started with the salt and vinegar chips, and as someone who LOVES salt and vinegar, these were lacking a little in flavor. They had a great texture and it was a healthy serving, but they were just missing that tang. We shared the lamb tartare which we heard was a must, and while it was very tasty, the sauce kind of overpowered the meat and the potato stick/crisps were really difficult to eat. Unless you're a dainty eater, be prepared to be stabbed repeatedly in your mouth! But what made the meal were the CORN MADELEINES! These are an absolute must. They are cooked to order and come out fresh and hot. Just enough crisp on the outside yet moist and fluffy on the inside. They have outdoor seating and plenty of natural light inside. A great addition to the South End that you should definitely try! read more

Really enjoy our visit for HH. We took advantage of the $1 oysters. It was oyster of the day. We first had a dozen and then got another dozen then on top we had clams as well. Overall it was good and the deal was great. We really enjoy ourselves as first stop for our arrival in Boston being able to dine outdoors and enjoy the breeze. read more

Black Lamb is good if you know what you're there for. It has two things it does really well: cheap oysters outside and late night partying with the well-heeled trust fund 20somethings of the South End. Food is NOT its strong suit and if you keep that in mind you'll do fine at Black Lamb. read more

This cute place in south end is perfect if you like trying foods that are delicious and kind of unique! Came here on a weekday night! They have plastic shield dividers and also all the windows are open. Outdoor seating is also available! They have great drinks. Personally loved the rose mojito and the gimlet. What stood out was the cauliflower which had anchovies! It tasted really unique and I actually really loved this dish. Def stands out !! The crab dip was soo creamy. The steak tartare was also different from what I usually see. Kind of hard to explain but the texture was really different but tasted super fresh. I would def come back to try a couple other things on the menu. Glad I found this place! read more

The Black Lamb is a lovely restaurant located on a quiet corner with a beautiful outdoor patio. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and is very clean. We sat at the bar with Jude who was very knowledgeable and helped us navigate the menu with our dietary restrictions. The food was phenomenal!! The oysters never disappoint, always super fresh and delicious. The baba Ghanoush was so flavorful and perfect for a vegetarian option as was the cauliflower side. The manager Heather is always attentive and friendly. One of the South Ends best spots! read more

An after work staple for me and my team. We go there for all big celebrations (team outings, birthdays etc.) and the service is always 10/10. We typically get some cocktails, and apps (the rolls with pimento cheese, pickled veggies, and hummus are crowd favorites). read more

The food was okay. They charged us a 30% tip without asking first (for a party of 2). We brought this to their attention and they supposedly changed it (but never explained why it was charged without our permission in the first place). Their menu says they charge a 4% service fee for the back of house staff, but no mention of 30% for a party of 2 being automatically added. It definitely wasn't worth $72 for two sandwiches and two hot teas for lunch. I'm waiting for the refund to post to my card. read more

Came here specifically for the $1 Oysters which is available every day until 5 pm and Mondays all day & night - a very generous time frame for dollar oysters! You can order in batches of up to 2 dozen oysters. We ordered 3 rounds of 24 oysters for 3 people. The size of the first batch was significantly larger than the 2nd and 3rd rounds (which could just be a weird coincidence). The quality of the oysters were great and I could tell the oysters were very fresh. Aside from the oysters, we also ordered a crab dip special that the waiter told us about. Unfortunately, it wasn't until we got the bill that we saw how expensive the dip was and I wish we had known the pricing beforehand. Also ordered the Cheddar & Scallion Parker House Rolls which were decent (3 rolls for $5). Bloody mary was also so refreshing. read more

I've been here twice before always for their $1 oysters Mondays. Sadly, the price for their oyster Mondays have increased to $2 per oyster. However, I just had to leave a review because of how absolutely delicious the Flat Iron Steak was. I've had their steak before around 6 months ago, and it was cooked and flavored completely differently. Today, I had one of the best steak dishes I've ever had. The individual sides in the dish were amazing, the meat was melt in your mouth tender, and the overall flavor combined perfectly. I'm calling them tomorrow to find out how long this menu item is staying as they change their menus seasonally. I hope they can make it a permanent addition to their menu! The waitstaff was attentive and sweet and it was a very fun and cheery atmosphere as usual. read more

PS I recently read a great article in the New Yorker titled "has gratuity culture reached a tipping point?, " and the reporter mentioned that one legal quirk is that if a waitress were actually a cook, searing meat in the kitchen she wouldn't be allowed in the tip pool only staffers who interact directly with custom servers busboys and runners are considered food service workers so this restaurant asking to tip the kitchen is illegally doing so. read more

Awful service; they will confront customers for tips. Food was mediocre. The host wouldn't let us sit in one of their several window seats even though the restaurant was empty, and continued to be fairly empty when we left. She reluctantly moved us but to another corner. The young waiter was inattentive, curt and rude. He never showed up to take our order (someone else had to tell him to come by) and when he finally did, he couldn't hear me so he said "please speak up". He would plop food down and whisk off. He didn't even check us out, again another staff member did. We tipped much less than usual and before we could leave, the young waiter (that did not check us out) showed up to stop us in our tracks and said we tipped very low and asked why. No professionalism and the restaurant is likely not paying their staff a decent wage if this kind of aggressive behavior is encouraged. Not ok. You are not entitled to tips from anyone; tips are a privilege. read more

The black lamb is a staple for a good neighborhood bite. We love to take friends and family from out of town here. Everything is so fresh and delicious. Their lamb burger is my favorite, and I always get the broccoli salad. I always forget to take pictures because I'm so excited to eat my food here! Their staff is always welcoming and the bartenders have great energy. We love how lively the place is, but still feels cozy. read more
