With a couple of small boys around us, we entered Blackboards restaurant, downtown Ellsworth on a Tuesday evening.
Blackboards is a fairly small establishment, with dining on the main floor and a bar downstairs.
The building is nothing fancy from the outside, being housed in the old Watson's drycleaners building, but the inside has quite a lot of character. We are not new to the restaurant, having been there many times before, and were greeted by the friendly staff at the door. They are on the walls, hanging from the ceiling, simply everywhere- they proclaim everything from the specials of the day, descriptions of menu items, to trivia. There are booths along the far wall, and tables in the middle. We were seated at one of the side booths which was just perfect for the four of us.
