The Blackwall Barn And Lodge

Amazing evening at the GORGEOUS New Blackwall Barn Lodge. Food, atmosphere and staff was amazing. So great to have a Restaurant of this caliber, that is not a chain establishment, in Columbia. A special thank you to the Owner who despite all he was juggling took time to ask about our experience. Blackwall Barn Lodge is sure to become Columbia’s “go to” for a relaxing night out, special celebration or memorable private event. Thanks for choosing Columbia!! So glad you are here!!

The ambiance was beautiful as the last times I was here with company. However, only 2 people on my table really enjoyed their meals. Overall, the waiter and manager were nice, but I think it's one of those days, thar they didn't get the food choices right.

I recently dined at the newly opened Blackwall Barn and Lodge at Merriweather on a Wednesday when they had a half-off pasta special. I opted for the Chesapeake pasta, featuring Pan Seared jumbo Shrimp, Jumbo Lump Crab (although not as jumbo as expected), Asparagus, Heirloom Cherry Tomatoes, and Lobster Cream Sauce. The dish had excellent potential but was marred by an excessive amount of Old Bay seasoning, resulting in overpowering saltiness. While I enjoyed the meal, I hesitated to alert the staff to the issue because I generally avoid sending food back, especially when it’s half-priced! Despite this, I’d consider returning and requesting the dish without the Old Bay seasoning for a more satisfying experience.

What a great experience! The place looks and feels fantastic in all different ways. Awesome food, professional service and very sophisticated restaurant.
