Hales Blackbrick Hyde Park

Had an incredible dining experience here! We ordered salt and pepper squid, pork belly, Sumai tower, sweet potatoes, calamari, lobster fried rice, and fried chicken.. every dish was flavorful and cooked to perfection. The chocolate cake was a delicious way to end the meal. The restaurant has a lovely ambience, with beautiful Chinese-inspired decor that adds to the experience. Service was attentive and friendly. The only downside was the cocktails, which were just okay. Otherwise, a fantastic spot for great food and a welcoming atmosphere. Would definitely return!

First time. Nice quiet vibe, great decor. The Florida gator was our favorite. We also ordered spicy margaritas, expresso martini, salt and pepper squid, and the black brick tower dumplings. The chicken dumplings were the best of the 3 options, and the squid went very well with the sauce that’s the gator came with. Jeremy and Justin were awesome. Thank you for the experience.

I first heard about Black Brick from a friend who recommended visiting the Platt Street location over the one on Dale Mabry, saying the experience was much better. I’m so glad I took her advice! The food was absolutely incredible, but what truly made the night special was the outstanding service. Bailey, the Assistant GM, went above and beyond to ensure we felt welcomed and had a fantastic experience. Her attention to detail and genuine hospitality made all the difference. I’ll definitely be coming back in the near future!

Like most places in Hyde Park, this restaurant is very busy on the weekend; it was even difficult to get a seat at the bar, so I would definitely recommend a reservation. Even with one, we waited 20 minutes past the reservation time for a table, which was annoying. However, after that the service was friendly and prompt and overall excellent. The food was fantastic and worth the wait. Even the egg fried rice from the kids’ menu that we got for my daughter was so tasty. The salt and pepper squid was surprisingly good as well, and of course the dumplings were delicious. Everything that we got was great.

This place is amazing! We ordered the duck and it was delicious. Our server was amazing and it was evident he was super knowledgeable. We felt very welcomed throughout the entire night but especially when the Owner came up to our table. It is a little pricey but very worth it. Would come back and recommend to anyone. Only critique would be that the music is a little loud.
