Myself and other half were lucky enough last night to have the whole restaurant to ourselves! Incredibly personal touch by the waitress (possibly the owner, didnt catch her name!) as she sat us by the fire & answered any questions we had about the food. We went for the vegetarian platter which was absolutely stunning. We really weren’t expecting such high quality, tasty and well presented food especially as a vegetarian. Blacks is a little gem and we are so pleased we found it. Thank you to the talented chef and friendly team, we had an amazing evening.
Everything is exceptional from the wonderful staff, decor and the food just blasts the loal comp out of the water. Looking forward to many more meals there...I recommend the steak, trio of pork, seafood platter, creme brulee and lemon posset. Thanks blacks your rocking it! X
Came here for a meal with my parents on Saturday night, having never visited before. From the offset we were more than impressed with the service, with the front of house employees being attentive and efficient. The three of us each had three courses, which were all faultless. The food and drinks arrived rapidly, and the food really was very well presented and cooked - not to mention very reasonably priced! Safe to say, we shall be returning in the future and cannot recommend the place highly enough.
Had an amazing evening with unforgettable food.freshly caught lobster, the staff called him Tyson was cooked to perfection . The ribeye steak was the best I have ever tasted and when we complemented the chef it was not too much trouble for him to come out and speak to us. He explained where his produce was from and how he prepared and cooked our meal as we were so delighted with everything we ate. All the staff were completely attentive and happy to serve you we will definitely be going back 😍Thank you guys !!
Stumpled upon this place when out looking for tea , made up we found it. The service , food and drink were 5*. Highly recommend the chowder and pork trio. If the bill was doubled what was paid we'd still be happy . . Get in and give yourself a mouthgasm
We had our wedding reception here and it was the perfect place �. Staff couldn't do enough and the food was amazing. Would recommend blacks to anyone �
Had my wedding reception here - they couldn't do enough for us and the food was amazing!! Would recommend Blacks to anyone from wanting a light bite to a full wedding reception! Just fantastic
Had a lovely lunch today staff were friendly, food was absolutely amazing, being local we tend to forget about the little gems we have hidden away from the main town, will definitely be back again
Staff very friendly and attentive. Lovely music and the food is just great. Excellent quality and cooked in a simple but creative and healthy way. Definitely one of the best restaurant in Penzance. Absolutely a must!!!
Fantastic place to eat. Myself and Six others were walking the town quite late looking for somewhere to eat on Saturday evening 23rd April.
A late meal for 7 is never going to be easy and we had tried a few places. Another restaurant ( Waves ) said that Blacks would be an excellent choice and that Sue who runs it would do her best to squeeze us in.
She did better than that. We organised tables to fit us in comfortably, the staff were all incredibly welcoming esp as they were not far off closing and we had an incredible meal. I don't remember the last time I ate 3 corses but the food was that good that I just had to.
All of us were equally happy.
We aim to return to Cornwall in 2017 and so far Blacks is the only thing firmly marked on our calendar.
Thanks Blacks, your service, staff and customer service is a total credit to you and we wish you a very bright future. Regards, Lee
Everything was fab, the steak was melt in your mouth, the fish chowder was excellent. The ice cream was heavenly. It was an all round lovely experience.
Loved it. Freshly caught, beautifully cooked seafood 'specials' of Tiger prawns with sweet chilli, and seafood platter ... washed down with a good Chenin Blanc. Good service and very personable, friendly folk. Definitely to be recommended.
Amazing food, fantastic atmosphere and really great staff who are friendly, attentive and make the who visit worthwhile! Probably one of the best eateries in Penzance at the moment, not to be missed!!
Lovely atmosphere, great food, and well looked after... What else to say??
Superb sea food, quality and presentation was 5*
Very nice ambience, staff were very helpful and attentive
Really enjoyed it all for a second visit
Celebrated our anniversary here, was made to feel incredibly welcome, great atmosphere and best of all food was outstanding!!!!!!

Lovely evening meal with friends. Very friendly, attentive service, but not intrusive. Amazed to see how they accommodated late comers with food. Will definitely return. (Good taste in music and at the right volume as well)
Can't fault it...fab tasty food,lovely staff and a roaring fire. What's not to love!
Fab food and service would most definately recommend =)
very hospitable waitress. Excellent food.
Delicous lunch, steak sandwiches, naughty but nice deserts. Good value with attentive service. we look forward to trying Blacks Special Afternoon Teas soon. Well done with the new Blacks.
Contacted the restaurant whilst walking around Penzance looking for somewhere to eat. Although it was 8.15pm and the kitchen closes at 8.45pm, they told us they would happily serve us. We got there and were greeted by 2 lovely members of staff who were so helpful and friendly, and couldn’t do enough to help us. The food was divine and if you get the opportunity to have the crab cake, do!
I would highly recommend Blacks of Chapel Street and will definitely visit next time I’m in Penzance
Food was brilliant, customer service not so good more attension needed from staff to make customers feel wanted and serve their needs rather than ignored.
Make sure you book a table we had to wait for an hour after the restaurant stopped serving food (say night) to be allowed to order but it was worth the wait.
Will definitely come again but I hope the service will be better next time.
Very nice and chic atmosphere with welcoming staff. The food was good but tasted a bit vinegary all around. Would recommend to book in advance.
Amazing restaurant find in Penzance. We got the seafood platter for 2 from the specials that night. They were actually all sold out by the time of our reservation but one of the managers was super nice and tailor made one from what they had left in the kitchen. The fish and prawns tasted very nice and the scallops in particular were great and perfectly cooked. The food was all fresh. 4/5 stars
Wonderful seafood restaurant. Booking advised. Best seafood platter that my husband (former 5*chef) and I have had. Gorgeous langoustines, crab, mussels and more. Welcomed our three girls and service was excellent. Children can have smaller platters of adult menu, mine opted for fish & chips & mussels. A very busy bank holiday Monday but handled with professionalism and ease. Highly recommended.
Good food but the service could be more professional and suit the kitchen level
I end up with order first and main dish that look and taste the same 🙄
Overall good food
Brilliant food and lovely customer service. We had the seafood platter and everything was delicious - good sized portions too!
Had a really good experience here, professional staff service with a smile even though it's bank holiday busy. I spoke with the owner after having a small issue with a part of the seafood platter, which was wonderful by the way, it was corrected without fuss. It's really worth booking prior, as when we were sat enjoying our food the amount of people that came in and were unable to be given must have been whole restaurant over again... can't wait to go again
The food was wonderful and the decor was laid back funky chic. The service was great and the location was right in the middle of everything. Overall we had a fantastic dinner.
A great place for lunch, fantastic food and friendly staff. The only complaint is was the long wait for our cheese board but we were looked after in the mean time.
