No notes. The bar side of this restaurant is way cooler with a dark and fun vibe. The menu is all over the place in an absolutely poetic way. So many vegetarian and vegan options it was hard to decide what to get. I got the Pretty Spritz which was just okay admittedly but I did like how it cut the acid of my dishes. My two food items were the Thai Peanut Cauliflower and the Mafaldine Limone Pasta. Devoured separately, of course. Both were high acid and beautiful. My favorite dish was the pasta which was crisply bright, creamy, and nostalgic of a cozy home cooked meal with a crisp bread crumb that was to die for. Would come here weekly if I could.

I'm sorry, but I don't see the hype. Black Raddish is a-ok and that's about it. To me it's an overpriced vegetarian restaurant with a dish or two with minimal meat. Don't misunderstand me, however. It isn't a terrible restaurant, it's just not one that wows me. The ambiance is nice, the staff polite, but the food? Well, I didn't fall in love with any dish and we tried several. I think the dish I liked the most was the spinach tortellini, and even then, I felt I could do this at home. read more

They have something special going on here. I was not expecting to find one of my favorite restaurants in the country in the state capital of Florida, but here we are. Everything is delicious. The best fried zucchini ever. His salsa macha... ugh, a punch in the face in the very best way. Service feels like friends you've known forever. There are some other good spots in the area, but Black Radish you cannot miss. read more

Loved the food, but hated the 1h15 wait for the table at the bar... for one! Not a single seat for over an hour! So go a little early to account for the "no reservations" policy. The corn pasta (pictured) was one of the best things I've eaten this year. read more

We went to Black Radish a few years ago for my birthday and it was a great experience. The food and drinks and service were excellent. It's a great place to celebrate and be with the people you love. read more

Food was very good! Service was exceptional from the moment we entered until we left. I would suggest sitting outside, inside was loud and we had a wide range of ages. It was easier hearing one another outside. Our dinner was so good I forgot to photograph our food. All I have is the apps. Please go, you will be happy you went. read more

Black Radish - Cheese Plate and Potato Bites - Bars Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

I love the setup here of small plates to share, and everything I had was so tasty! My favorite was definitely the acorn squash fritti, but I'd recommend any of it! The service was super quick and our server was so kind and helpful. The atmosphere is super cute as well! I'd recommend getting here early if you want to get seated quickly as it tends to get pretty crowded. read more

Stopped by Black Radish while visiting Tallahassee and ended up staying longer than planned because the atmosphere was really comfortable. I ordered the tofu lettuce wraps first and added the orange olive oil cake later after the server mentioned it was one of their more popular desserts. The lettuce wraps were fresh and had a good mix of texture without feeling too heavy. The cake was surprisingly light with just enough citrus flavor and not overly sweet. Service throughout the meal felt attentive but relaxed. Our server checked in at the right times and kept things moving without rushing us out. It felt like a place people actually enjoy working at, which made the whole experience nicer. read more

Had a great birthday dinner. Enjoyed the NA beer as well. Definitely look forward to going back.

Update: Date Night 06 Aug 2025 The BLUF (Bottom Line Upfront) | Black Radish was outside of our Top 10 Best Restaurants in Tallahassee and now #5. The Location | Parking is always going to be a PITA because of the odd location. We parked in the lot across the street and had to cross Monroe before and after dinner. The Service | Excellent. Hostess was informative and listened well. Becca, our server, bounced in and out a couple of times, didn't hover, and had good energy. There are five chefs on the board and we engaged with two of them. Mattjew, the head chef & co-owner, chatted us up and told us how they get the tofu so crispy. So cool of Matt to share the intell. Seems like a really good dude. The Food | Sangria (3/5), Zest on the Beach (3/5), Bubble Potatoes (5/5) Geez!, Shrimp Aquachile (3/5), Tofu Wraps (5/5) Amazing (Suggestion: Chop the Peanuts; Thanks to the chef who chopped ours), and Orange Olive Oil Cake (5/5) Wow. The Expense | $103 and consistent for dinner for two compared to 28 Oct 2023. read more

Visiting my daughter in Tally. This place was recommended by a friend. The menu is mostly vegetarian but they have a few dishes with meat. Personally I thought the food was absolutely delicious. I would definitely return but probably try the plates for two instead. Service was lovely as well. The focaccia bread was delicious!!!! read more

So, I really wanted to like this place. The service was good I love the atmosphere, the open kitchen where you can see the chefs at work. There were some dishes that were really stand out and then others that were just OK. We started the night with the potato balls and the acorn squash tostada. The potato balls were exactly how you would imagine mashed potatoes that were deep fried but the potato itself lacked flavor in my opinion. The tostada on the other hand was absolutely delicious it was beautiful to look at and delightful to eat. Tons of flavor, and every aspect of the dish paired well with one another. Now onto the entrées. I had the ricotta gnocchi and it was just OK. My friend had the creamy lemon pasta and I enjoyed hers more. Another friend had the mushroom dish and it was also very lovely in the way it was plated and she enjoyed it very much. Instead of an actual dessert I opted for an espresso martini that was pretty good, much better than the sangria that I had with my meal. The other standout dish for me was the broccoli and kale Caesar salad. It was absolutely delicious. Because of the care I felt was taken with each dish, as well as the service I received, I will definitely try this spot again because I believe the menu changes seasonally. I want to give this more like 3 1/2 stars. If I enjoyed everything I ate and drank it would easily be a 4-4.5. read more

Oh my gosh. Everything about my experience was 10/10. There was a 1 hour wait, and it was well worth it. The service was amazing. The food was delicious. I didn't even get alcohol and my drink was delicious. My friend and I were seated at the bar in front of the kitchen, and I really enjoyed watching the chefs bring each order to life. I will definitely be back at least once per quarter to try their new menus! read more

Adding yet another 5 Stars. Incredible. We are foodies. No guilt or shame about it. Black Radish has now risen to be our #1 Restaurant in Tallahassee. Both because of all of the amazing flavors and unique dishes AND because they change the menu so frequently while still holding on to the fan favorites like the Bubble Potatoes and tofu lettuce wraps. Our favorite spot to sit is now at the bar talking to Matt and watching the magic happen. Our food was superb. Unique flavors. Great Acorn Squash fritti- sweet but salty with an interesting dipping sauce that somehow works; chicken Asian slaw - fresh and bright and crunchy; sweet potato ravioli - pasta was super fresh; Gochujang mushroom Bibimbap was an amazing deconstructed version of my favorite Korean dish. Couldn't leave without the Orange Olive Oil cake. Ambiance is always really chill and service can't be beat. Keep up the great work Matt and team! read more

We had an amazing and creative dinner at Black Radish! We had Bang Bang Bubble Potatoes and an amazing appetizer with Butternut Squash. I had an amazing eggplant dish. A friend had the Squid ink Spaghetti. We were all so thrilled with everything! I would definitely return! read more

We've been to Black Radish twice, and even though I'm not vegetarian, everything has been amazing! They have seafood options, and the service is fantastic. We tried the Bang Bang Bubble Potatoes, Spicy Ahi Tuna with Crispy Rice, and my fiancé loved the Mexican Street Corn Cappelletti. They also offer gluten-free options, and I love that they plan to update the menu. We've only had appetizers so far but will definitely be back for a full dinner! read more

We found our new favorite restaurant in Tallahassee. We sat at the kitchen counter, overseeing the entire production. The kitchen, chef and staff were impeccably, clean, organized, and laser focused at preparing some of the most delicious and beautiful dishes we have seen in a restaurant in a very long time. Chef Mathew with his team Meggie and Charlie are truly culinary perfectionists. Truly a 5 star experience. Michelin should consider experiencing this restaurant. More to come.... read more

Black Radish - The 24oz RibEye served family style is hands down the best steak we've ever had in a restaurant. - Bars Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

$324 meal that was meh at best and a shameful waste of money. We won't go back. Took the family there for a birthday meal and the best thing about it was Kylie, our server. $94 steak, while cooked as ordered was so salty, $67 meh butter chicken dinner that came with a good kale salad . Lemon pasta that was gummy and not very lemony. Why does Tallahassee have all these great small restaurants that become sooooo mediocre after a few months??? For the money, I'll stay home and eat like a king for two weeks. Thumbs down. So disappointed. read more

It is a kind of food specific people. The environment was good. The food was good, but it was very, very pricey.

Yeah, go here. Seasonal rotation based menu, each dish was absolutely fantastic. Being able to view the kitchen / observing proper tasting from the chefs brings a whole new light. Exactly the atmosphere you would think, small, quaint and not overly embellished. Just a really good place that makes some tasty food. read more

I'm late leaving a review but better now than never. We enjoyed small plates and dessert at Black Radish about a year ago, and absolutely loved it. This picture of the desserts came up on my time hop and I had to share! While all of the plates were excellent- the strawberry cornbread and chocolate peanut butter icebox pie stood out to us as "out of this world" - both in uniqueness and taste. Definitely worth visiting Black Radish. read more

Wonderful food and dining experience with professional service staff too. Definitely going back!

The food is delicious and the service top notch as always. This place never disappoints and updates their menu often.

45 min wait to eat pea salad. Its not that special. Whole Foods has a much better chilled asian noodle cucumber salad.

Great food and service! There was about a 15 -20 minute wait for a bar seat. They have an open kitchen and I enjoyed watching how well everyone worked together. I really enjoyed my first visit and plan on returning. read more

Very unassuming little place with creative and delicious dishes. We started with the bubble potatoes, the mini sourdough boule, and the miso grit cake. All were excellent! The bucatini pomodoro was a little disappointing as it is described as having 50 garlic sauce, but wasn't that flavorful. The spring pea carbonara was great! The Citrus grilled red snapper was good, but not outstanding. The spicy cucumber salad was fabulous! For dessert we had the olive oil orange cake and the peanut butter pie which was so freaking good! Get it!! Service and drinks were excellent! read more

Great food and drinks! I love the vegetarian/vegan-friendly theme since there's so much to choose from. They also have a great selection of both tasty mocktails and cocktails. The service was excellent and we didn't have to wait long to get in on a weekend evening. The atmosphere was also very friendly for the LGBT crowd, more so than other similar restaurants I've tried in the area. read more

My top picks for the Black Radish: 1. Bang Bang Fried Okra Bites 2. Charred Broccolini 3. Spaghetti alle Vongole 4. Burrata Because I'm southern and I love okra. Really, the vegetables are the stars of the show for me. The spaghetti is quite a showstopper and extremely well balanced and who can say not to a burrata? No, seriously, who can?? Not this girl. read more

I have been to the Black Radish many times, however tonight was something special. Our server Erin went above and beyond to ensure any questions we had were answered AND we had a personal touch on our dining experience. Erin provided personal drink selections including a special off-menu spicy Wickle's Pickles martini which was excellent. Additionally, all of the food was top notch. Highlights include a perfectly cooked Ribeye, a flavor packed Gochujang pasta, and delectable fried asparagus. The food at this establishment is always a reason to visit, but Erin is the reason to stay. Excellent service. Thanks for tonight! read more

The food was amazing! The service was satisfactory. Ambiance was nice. I will have to say it was the best meal I have paid for in Tallahassee in twenty years. We will definitely be back. read more

Don't know why this is my first time reviewing since we have had a few amazing meals here. I always leave so satisfied in an overall sense. The food, atmosphere, and service are top notch. Tried out a few new menu items tonight as well as some staples and they did not disappoint. Had the bubble potatoes as always, they stepped it up with the amount of sauce they serve with it, 'Preciate! The sourdough is spectacular. The new chipotle sweet potato flautas were amazing. Tried the half portions of the mushroom pasta (play of sunlight mushrooms, amazing cream sauce) and the new gemelli sausage pasta (the slightly spicy sauce was insanely good). I love that they serve half portions of the pasta so I can try more! My husband had the old fashioned and I had the Tegroni which was soooo good. Took the carrot cake to go and we are happily eating it currently. This is a restaurant I always recommend to everyone. Consistently one of the best in Tally for sure. Also, we finally decided to sit at the chef area and it was interesting and interactive, highly recommend. read more

I heard so many great things about Black Radish. I was excited to try multiple dishes on their menu. I started with the beet salad with the whipped goat cheese. There were two types of beets and the salad was really tasty. I also tried the bucatini pasta with the creamy cashew sauce and peas. I'm not a fan of peas and this dish was heavy with them, so I only tasted it. The cashew sauce was tasty. They do a good job with the vegan dishes. I got the ricotta gnocchi with a Parmesan cheese sauce. Delicious!!! The gnocchi was pillow soft. The only thing I liked better was the dessert, an icebox peanut butter pie with a chocolate topping. My goodness, this dessert is delicious!!! I was full and still couldn't stop eating this pie. All in all, it was a great dining experience and I look forward to going back. read more

Mara was the one who served us. She was amazing! We ordered an Asian-style salad, a mushroom pasta, and another with pesto. My husband and I shared both pastas. We had never tried eating pasta without cheese before. The flavors were perfect and delicate. We're from South Florida, and we wish there were a place like this near us. Otherwise, we'll just have to return to Tallahassee to enjoy these delights again! And the place is beautiful!!! read more

I loved the open kitchen. Service was great and waitress was very knowledgeable and provided great recommendations. It's a nicer place to get vegan options in the city. Would be great for a date or celebration dinner. Highly recommend the lettuce wraps. We were eating them for days! read more
