You'd have to pay me a hell of a lot more than $25 to eat there.

I've never been so fill me in: what do you dislike about it?

Does Blackie's have any fans here?

I always thought it was one of those not-very-good stuffy "DC Institutions"

Although I have never eaten there, I was cajoled into going there for drinks and "dancing" last week and will never return. It is an inhospitable place that makes no effort at all to please the customer. As I didn't eat there, my complaints don't have to do with the food at all, but if thier general attitude extends to food preparation and service (as I would assume they would), I would skip it. For years I was wondering if I was missing something by not going in and now I realize that I wasn't.

Edited to remove redundancy.

I know, that's expensive. It's three visits to the boring gym to undo and detox from that slop...

Time is money.

The place never looked appealing to me, either.

I wonder what kind of direct marketing hell would be visited on me if I signed up for the $50 Ruth's Chris certificate advertised at the top of the eGullet site today?

I mean, I wouldn't go Whitey's either. And I don't like any shade of blew.

I was there once, and I remember nothing about the food. That should tell you something. It's primarily a tourist place, isn't it?
