PRRP installment 2: Black Diamond Restaurant & Taphouse (CLOSED)

Update January 2022: Permanently closed.

I can't post photos because my cell phone was out of commission, but tonight was G's and my second installment of our Public Road Restaurant Project. [2019 update: Black Diamond closed in 2019. Teocalli Cocina is now in this location.]


 We thought the food was very good (G had a pocket pie; I had a wedge salad with grilled chicken and drank an Upslope beer), the prices are reasonable, and the ambience was pleasant. The place was very busy--including the large patio with fire pit. There are lots of local craft brews on tap. The name is a reference to a coal mine that used to be located nearby, and some menu items, such as the pocket pies, are intended to be a tribute to the cookery of the miners' wives. 

After dinner, we had gelato at Chocolaterie Stam next door. We also liked the ambience there except that G was distracted by how badly the player piano was performing a Mozart piece that he has been playing since he was in high school.
