If you plan on visiting Aperitivo DO NOT WEAR SOCKS! (As they will immediately be blown off!) As…read moresoon as I walked in the door I was transported from Abilene TX to a boutique ristorante somewhere in Tuscany. The vibes were immaculate from the stunning decor to the chill music, it was giving Sunday afternoon on a Friday at 10:00 am. Chef Alex let me sample the Lemon Basil Chicken Salad which was truly elevated and delicious. (Best I've ever had, by a landslide) so I had to order it on the crescent. I also had the Italiano Panini which was an explosion of flavor! It paired perfectly with the cold pasta salad which effortlessly balances flavors of harissa, black olive, and sweet cherry tomatoes with just enough hint of spice to awaken the senses and make you crave more. Chef Alex does not miss! Believe it or not, the most amazing thing about this place is not the ambiance or the food. What drew me in and will keep me coming back over and over again is the fact that the owners Chef Alex and his wife April have captured the feeling you get when visiting a small family owned restaurant in Italy. The personal service, charismatic interaction with the chef, and a sense of the passion they bring to every detail of your experience! Especially the food. They are genuine and hard working and deserve all the success in the world!

The owner said she knows it sounds scary, but I needed to try it. I'm so glad I did. It was a taste sensation! I paired that with their rosemary and olive oil chips in a bag and was in heaven. And I had it on Gluten Free bread, which was yummy, too. They cater to people with gluten or dairy intolerance. Even the pickle was gourmet! The tomato basil soup is super creamy and delicious, as well. I've also tried their coconut matcha green tea with almond milk at the suggestion of the barista and was thrilled. Don't be put off by the color! The ambiance is lovely here. You'll come back again and again!

The food here is decent...nothing amazing, but solid enough that we've tried many, many times to…read moremake this place work as a dining experience. Unfortunately, the food is consistently undermined by poor customer service and a seemingly indifferent management. Food comes fast...too fast. Entrees sometimes arrive just minutes after the appetizer hits the table, making the meal feel rushed and poorly paced rather than enjoyable. You have to ask for everything, and even simple requests feel like inconveniences to the server. Once the food is delivered, there is little to no follow-up. Eventually, the bill is dropped on the table and the server disappears again. When you eat out, you're paying for more than just the food...you're paying for service and a well-managed dining experience. That's a big part of the value, and it simply isn't offered at Blackhorse. Eating out is already expensive, and it becomes unreasonably so when the service is this consistently lacking. If the service and overall management improved, this place might be worth reconsidering. For now, the decent food alone doesn't justify the experience or the expense.

We are here on a Saturday night and they were busy with several large tables. However, we were…read moreseated quickly at a booth. We ordered chips and salsa as an appetizer and the multi-colored chips were served artfully arranged. The salsa was great. My husband perused the salad bar and decided to order that while I had the honey chicken. The food was very good. We both enjoyed the food, service and ambiance. Though we didn't order wine or alcoholic drinks, they gave a nice bar and I would consider it for next time. Thank you, Black Horse for a lovely dinner!

The restaurant has lots of seating & a nice, clean atmosphere. Anyone who enjoys salads should try it...you won't be disappointed! It's one of my go-to places when visiting Abilene!!

I usually think the smaller, hole-in-the-wall places have the best food, but this place proved me wrong. The staff at The Shed were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the whole experience even better. Portions were generous, and everything tasted amazing. The brisket, in particular, stood out--it was moist, tender, and easily one of the best I've ever had. I even spoke with the manager to share how impressed I was, and he went above and beyond by taking me back to see the smokers. That really showed their pride in what they do. I can't say enough great things about The Shed Market--I just can't wait for my next trip back to Texas. Hope to add photos soon
