   Hospitality was outstanding - from the two hosts/manager up front to the back sever and server. Food was high quality. Great experience!

   We had a fantastic birthday meal! Everything was excellent – the food, the service, the ambience – all hit the mark.

   This was our first time visiting this restaurant. Can’t say enough good things about it! Warm welcome at the door by the hostess. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. The atmosphere and decor was contemporary and slightly upscale but had a warmth. We were fortunate to partake in the Dine Out Boston prixFix dinner. She crab bisque, steak with seasoned mashed potatoes and sautéed mushrooms, followed by dessert choice. The beef was incredibly delicious…. Seasoned perfectly and one of the most tender, tasty piece of meat imaginable! Bisque was amazing too!! I LOVE that there are still some nice restaurants that continue to make it feel special with little details like an actual candle (not a battery powered pretend flame interpreter), the specialty basket of warm flavored rolls - served with herbed whipped butter ( not the foil wrapped hard as brick pads), and the assistant who served cutlery as needed and removed any used plates immediately. Our Waitress was Monica, and she was wonderful! Highly recommend!

   Loved the food! The steak was cooked perfectly. The reason for my lackluster review rating was primarily because of the service. It started out well at the hostess stand and when we were initially seated but as time went on, things got progressively worse. We had to flag someone down for drink refills and for dessert. Finally, at a place like this, we expect that a Manhattan is properly made and not with a maraschino cherry. Good food but need more work on service, managers coming your way the tables and please put all service staff in proper uniforms. A nice restaurant like this should not have service employees in yoga pants.

   The woman with red hair at the hostess stand was so rude to me and my daughter that we will never return again. The food was bland and overcooked. Our waitress was nice but other than that this space was better when it was a CVS. Not coming back.

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