    This was our first time at Black and Blue. It was exceptional, from the cocktails to the desert! The caesar salad was our starter which was great but the steaks that my wife and I had were done to perfection. It was a great experience and a first class place.

    Our experience was overall very good and will go back when we want a nice steak. The staff were awesome and very attentive. The only down side was the side lobster was very salty.

    We were asked to wait for 20 minutes upon arrival for our 6:30 reservation. (We arrived at 6:25). The bar was busy I waited for 10 minutes for a water. We were sat in the back of the restaurant near the kitchen. I was disappointed in this seat because I made the reservation 2 weeks in advance and there are much nicer parts of the dining room. Our appetizers came out quickly and then once removed we waited 45 minutes for the entrees. Being on a date night with kids back home estimating a 2 hour dinner turning into a 3 hour dinner is pretty annoying. The waiter blamed the kitchen but it seemed as though he forgot to fire our entrees. The food was good, not exquisite. The service was ok.

    The food here is always good. The steaks are cooked perfectly. Not a fan of the mac and cheese but that's personal preference. Service is always great! Kat is a wonderful waitress always friendly and professional. We'd eat there all the time but save it for special occasions. Always worth the visit.

    Third time here. Had a great waitress that was very friendly and knowledgeable. Ambience was great as usual. Only bad experience was the server (guy in glasses who looked Latino) that basically just dumped our starters on the edge on the table in a “rough” way. Might have been having a bad day who knows but waiter and management were very quick and polite to address the issue because didn’t want the main course being delivered the same way.

    An incredible Valentine’s Day experience here. Impeccable, kind and welcoming service. The Valentine Day specials for food, drinks and desserts were all stellar! 10/10
