    This is an attractive brewery/restaurant with a gnome theme. And I'm a sucker for gnomes…read more Thankfully, you can't order gnome on the menu. The draft beer selections are extensive, with many different styles available. I went with a flight of all high alcohol varieties because I find them to be the most flavorful and definitely not because they give the best buzz for your money. The Belgian was outstanding. Our server was fantastic. She was incredibly friendly and attentive. If you dine here and she's your server, you won the lottery. The menu is very well-written but I don't think the food quite matched my expectations. The BBQ burger was fine. The hot chicken sandwich had a good kick but I thought the sauce was a little weird. The side of tots was good but it's impossible not to like tots. I appreciated the option of fried potatoes. They were fine. You could do a lot worse with the view. The spectacular courthouse towers over the restaurant on the other side of the street. Really good beer, decent food, great service, and a wow view. And gnomes.

    Yelp wins again leading us to a cool restaurant, with great reviews and a cool name!…read more The service is impeccable from the moment you're greeted at the front door by the host. We were promptly seated inside, and greeted by the friendliest young woman who was so enthusiastic and had a sweet vibrant attitude. We both ordered the tacos and the queso appetizer. Everything was presented like an art on canvas - beautiful, delicious and so flavorful. The General Manager and Floor Manager both said hello and ensured we had a great visit. 100/10, would come back again.

    We went at 5 pm on a weeknight and were the only guests outside of one other person. The service…read morewas wonderful. She made great recommendations and helped us decide based on our time constraints. She was attentive and gave us a lot of information about the food, live music, DJ and art for sale on all the walls. We weren't super hungry, so we tried the flatbread - sooo good. I will be back because the whole menu, including the drinks, sound wonderful. They offered zero spirit, GL and other substitutions if needed which is nice. The atmosphere has a moody, darker hang out vibe to it. I loved it and can't wait to bring some friends and family back! She recommended reservations on the weekends, especially on "First Fridays" as that's when they do events and an art crawl on Broadway when the weather is nice. We parked on the street in front of the building so I'm not sure if there is a parking lot. They do have outdoor seating as well in the front of the building. I remember when this location was a food co-op waaaaaaay back in the day. They did a great job transforming it into a relaxing bar and restaurant. We will go back and I highly recommend you check it out!

    We were looking for a non-chain place for an early dinner and decided to give this place a try…read more When we arrived around 4 pm, there were a few people at the bar but we were the only ones at a table. We ordered the fried avocado which was served with pickled onions and a spicy dip - very good and the bonus was a happy hour discount. Hubby had the Cheddar Smash burger with fries as his side choice (other options are onion petals or a side salad). Catsup was complimentary but there was a charge for the garlic aioli. Good but nothing stand out. I had the Brie and Berry grilled cheese without the prosciutto. My choice of side was the onion petals. Again, tasty but not standout. Ahlana served us quickly and with a smile, checking in several times to see if we were enjoying our meal. It was kind of dark inside (adding to the atmosphere no doubt) and there is a collection of eclectic art work. We were not fans of the music but we are old! There is outside seating but road noise may take away enjoyment of dining here. Enjoyable meal.

    We've been to Black Canyon several times and the food is always great!

I've also had a business holiday dinner here with a larger group and had a great experience. The food was excellent and the service was just as good, even with a busy restaurant and a larger party. Definitely a great Fort Wayne spot whether you're looking for drinks and happy hour, a nice dinner, or somewhere for a group. I would recommend making reservations for dinner though because this place can get busy! We'll definitely be back!

    First time to Sunday brunch and glad we tried it. The brunch menu is small but big enough to find…read moreone of your breakfast favorites. BC also offers the regular menu at brunch. All the excellent things still exist on a Sunday morning. Same great service and relaxing/casual dining atmosphere. On this Sunday we did not make reservations in advance. I don't know if you really need them or not for Sunday brunch. My wife had the eggs Benedict. She loved the fresh tastes and perfectly cooked eggs. The hollandaise sauce blended all the flavors nicely. She said it had a little kick up it also. I had the chef's special breakfast chorizo burrito. I really liked the brown sauce. The wrapper was soft and easily cut. The chorizo was fairly mild - no spicy kick. The eggs were tender. The fried potatoes provided a nice crisp on the inside.
