   This was our second time eating at Black & Blue. Both visits were great. Food, service and atmosphere are great additions to Wellesley.

   This was our first time at Black & Blue Steak & Crab and we really enjoyed. The service was friendly, efficient and professional. The food was delicious, and the ambiance was stunning. Hard to believe it used to be a CVS store.

   So pleased with our experience. With friend and our sons who are bad and students. Our waitress Maria was fantastic and all the staff that supported her was great too. Our table was wonderful a six top for six people. We really appreciated all of the upholstery and carpet to make the sound level, very enjoyable, lively, but easy to have conversation. The food was delicious. One steak was a little overdone and the manager quickly rectified the situation all was delicious. We will be back.

   Disappointing experience at Black & Blue. The food was okay, but just okay. The appetizers were better than the entrees. Crab cake and pork belly were excellent. The Mushroom Pappardelle was like a mac and cheese. My husband liked the Black Grouper but the bite I took of the artichoke was rather stiff and chewy. I felt like it should have been peeled more... The service was really poor. On our two top the bread plates were not cleared until the end. Since we had 2 appetizers and 2 mains it was rather crowded. I think the most obvious difference was the table next to us had great service, multiple employees checking on them repeatedly. We normally tip 30% but we had to wait 15 minutes for the check and the staff only stopped by once to see if everything was okay. Someone stopped by to check on us but she did not say her name or title so we didn't know who she was... a manager or what not. We still tipped 20% and will go back as this was the first disappointing experience we have had at Black and Blue.
