    Entering the restaurant, there was no one at the front for the first 5 minutes and when she finally arrived, she didn't say hello, welcome, or ask about a reservation. She just gave a dry, unwelcoming "can i help you?" which was very off putting. Thank goodness once we were seated, our server was a lot more upbeat and smiling. Service and food was excellent once we sat down!

    Everything about black and blue was really top notch except: they have a. Policy of not providing separate checks. That is our ne complaint.

    As always, the food was delicious. If you’re looking for lobster, look no further. Hot or cold lobster rolls. The incomparable lobster bombe was a full half pound of lobster. When our server thought it looked like there wasn’t enough bisque on top, she returned with more. My favorite lobster risotto was perfect.

    The lobster risotto was outstanding. It certainly rated 5 stars. Rack of Lamb was also rated as 5 stars, One soap, New England clam chowder was returned, the clams in it were too tough to chew. The other two entrees were rated at 4 stars. The black cherry mojito was a must. Wines were at expected value. We had no deserts. The waitress was not attentive enough and had to be called over twice. The atmosphere is not up to the menu prices.

    We have been coming here for a few years now and love it however the menu needs some updating. Possibly more pasta offerings. It goes from either sandwiches to high end entrees.

    I had the bouillabaisse. Overall it was pretty good. But, the cod fish in it was bad. Taste / smelled like ammonia. Sign of fish going bad. Really off putting.
