The Black Rooster Restaurant and The Black Rooster Lounge and Gallery give their patrons a choice in dining atmospheres. Both the restaurant and lounge offer the same menu, however The Black Rooster Restaurant has more of a “fine dining” atmosphere, while the Lounge is more casual and laid back. Don’t worry, though, business-casual dress is still fine for the restaurant -- as is a coat and tie should you want to be a bit more fancy. Oh! please don’t construe “fine dining” with being “hoytie-toytie” though . . . the restaurant is very comfortable and relaxing, with an unpretentious elegance -- while providing some truly outstanding menu creations by Chef Marcus Blackstone.
