Introducing Fall Into W**e; the first of several events this winter.

On October 18, we'll be featuring four w**es, each thoughtfully paired with a course designed to complement the tasting experience.

Course 1: Chandon Brut paired with whipped chèvre crostini, roasted Bartlett pear, prosciutto, toasted pecans, and fresh thyme.

Course 2: Diatom Chardonnay paired with pan-seared scallops, cauliflower purée, lemon brown butter, Parmesan-lemon breadcrumb, chive oil, and candied lemon rind.

Course 3: Orin Swift Bloodlines paired with petite filet, Yukon Gold potato pavé, charred broccolini, blue cheese-red w**e sauce, and blue cheese crumble.

Course 4: Kopke 10-Year Tawny Port paired with dark chocolate ganache tart, fig-orange compote, toasted hazelnut, crème fraîche, and fresh orange zest.

$95 per guest plus tax and gratuity

Reservations are required, and seating is very limited.

Experiences like Fall Into W**e are one of the reasons we created Founders First Look, giving Founders advance notice of special tastings, dinners, and experiences before they're broadly promoted.

Blackboard has always been more than a restaurant. It's a place where people gather, celebrate, reconnect, and create memories. Today, we're excited to launch the Founders Club Class of 2026-27.

The Founders Club was created to recognize the guests helping shape Blackboard's next chapter.

Membership includes dining credit equal to the membership amount, along with recognition, experiences, and opportunities reserved for Founders.

Most importantly, it means becoming part of the inaugural Founders Club Class of 2026-27.

The first class only happens once.

Enrollment is now open and closes November 15.

The Lounge Menu was built for those moments when you want great food without the formality of a full dinner.

Perfect for:

Watching the game
Meeting friends
Casual drinks
Sharing food around the table

During Lounge Menu hours from 11AM–5PM, enjoy $4.50 domestic b**rs and $6 imported b**rs with the purchase of any appetizer or entrée.

Combined with the porch, more TVs, and a comfortable atmosphere, it's quickly becoming one of our favorite ways to spend a fall afternoon.

We'll see you soon.

Today’s the day.

Our new menus are officially here.

You’ll find new dishes, refreshed favorites, and more ways to enjoy the restaurant whether you’re joining us for dinner, drinks, or a casual evening with friends.

One we’re especially excited about is The Pickleback; a nod to the Pickle Factory that called our schoolhouse home for years. It’s a beef patty topped with melted provolone, crispy fried dill pickles, and house-made chipotle aioli on a toasted brioche bun.

We’re also excited about the evolution of the porch this fall, with more comfort, more flexibility, and more opportunities to enjoy the space throughout the season.

And every qualifying Rewards Club visit brings you closer to your next reward.

We open at 11, and we can’t wait for you to try it.

Thursday nights always seem to go a little too fast when Darren Quam is here.

Tonight will be his final performance of the season and we’re looking forward to one more evening of great music, food, drinks, and familiar faces! Minnesota decided to rain on our parade, but that won’t stop the music. We’re moving things inside to the dining room, where Darren will keep the music flowing all evening!

We’ll be announcing our new seasonal menus tomorrow morning and have some very exciting additions. Stay tuned!

09/23/2026

A big week is ahead.

Tomorrow night Darren Quam returns for his final performance of the season.

Friday we'll officially launch our new Dinner Menu and Lounge Menu.

This fall we're also expanding the Lounge Menu experience with more TVs, improved comfort on the porch, and more reasons to gather with friends throughout the week.

By day, the porch becomes a comfortable place to catch a game, enjoy the Lounge Menu, and spend time with friends.

By night, it transforms back into one of your favorite dining spaces.
