    I had the filet mignon and my husband had the strip steak and lump crab. Both were delicious and cooked just the way we asked. Nice intimate meal where you needs were met but you were not bothered either.

    Food was great. Amazing flavor in our steaks. My wife loved her scallops. My crab was fine. The sides were great. I loved the floorless torte so much I took another one home. Service was steady and attentive. I appreciated they recognized my birthday without over doing it. Certainly worth the visit.

    Great venue and great food. Recommended for special occasions, as it's pricey and the portions are small.

    We had another delicious meal at B&B from the lobster toast to the filet mignon. The menu provides delectable choices for everyone's taste. We sat in the bar to enjoy a birthday dinner with wonderful Ralph providing perfect service. The candle topped decadent fudge cake was a lovely gesture by B&B to celebrate the birthday person's special day.

    Service was very spotty. The dining room was cold. We asked the wait staff several times to turn up the thermostat. The food was just ok.

    Went here for dinner and the place itself is beautiful inside. Many different lights fixtures, the ambiance was great. The temperature was a bit chilly which was odd since it’s not winter out yet, which made it much less cozy than it could have been. The servers seem to work in “teams” which is nice but also doesn’t really mean you get extra or more attention. Unsure of how that works there. Anyway, “both” servers were very nice and friendly, making small talk and also providing recommendations and descriptions of dishes perfectly. They offered to split a shared salad for us at no extra cost and that was AMAZING! Next second course, steak and sides. Everything came out looking and smelling delicious. The ribeye itself was “warm” not quite hot which would have been preferred but regardless it was cooked to temp and was tasty… it even had a bit of char which is my absolute favorite ! The sides (cauliflower au gratin, Mac and cheese and Mexican corn) were large and definitely perfect side for sharing for 2-4 people, depending on appetite. All of them were tasty, my personal fave was the Mexican street corn it was PHENOM! Would 100% recommend that as a side. Last dessert, creme brûlée and peanut butter budino. Both were so satisfying and the perfect ending to a delightful meal. We ended up taking quite a bit of food home, including the budino because we were just so stuffed ! The servers made everything smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend this restaurant and will for sure back to try more options!
