like the ginger miso charred salmon, which is Black’s personal favorite. Eichenberger and his expert team of line cooks were given creative liberty when crafting the menu, and it shows. Their authentic cuisines are frequently described as “unconditionally fun and accessible” with “bold flavors.”
Among the rave reviews is a common refrain: try the crispy cauliflower, made with sriracha aioli and sesame seeds. Even those who tend to steer away from
such appetizers and sides are quickly convinced. The dish is listed alongside blistered shishito peppers made with shoestring potatoes and cotija cheese aioli, and seared ahi tuna served with charred avocado, caramelized onions and ginger ponzu sauce. The starters feel right at home with the Black+Haus burger with bacon jam, the vegetarian Cuban sandwich and the creamy avocado pasta.
Black said she feels fortunate to have happened upon the high-traffic spot formerly occupied by Vines Wine Bar
& Tapas. Black+Haus is situated on a busy section of Mainstreet, across from O’Brien Park.
“It was a game-changer. That location doesn’t come around very often,” said Black, who combined her last name and that of her husband to come up with the name for the tavern.
Opening during the pandemic was not without its challenges; indoor dining was shut down in Douglas County
about a week before Black+Haus Tavern opened. The restaurant adapted and started serving customers on the patio before the 5-star certified program allowed for limited indoor dining. Navigating all of the changing rules and regulations was difficult. Fortunately, word has gotten out about Black+Haus, and business has been booming in recent months.
“Without that (support), we wouldn’t be where we are,” Black said. Maybe more of a quote to
go here possibly.
