We came on a Friday, late afternoon and between the 4 of us - we spent $400. Food was under average. Chicken was dry and under-seasoned. The potatoes were as good as instant and the beans were shriveled. Crab cake tasted so fishy, gross. Steaks were ordered medium, arrived so rare. All of them. Ordered sweet pot side, came tasting...

At first when you come in, this place has an air of snobbery, you proceed to sit down and you see that there's a mix of people eating in - from those that are dressed up to those like look like they just rolled out of bed... The food is average, nothing special and a bit over priced. The service... More

Ate at Black & Blue last week and was very impressed with the quality, presentation and taste of the food at this restaurant. It is very pricy and personally would be more of a special occasion type of place. The only downside is it is loud... high ceilings and lots of echo. Love the semi-circle booths around the perimeter as... More

Food is phenomenal. I love how the steak comes to the table sizzling. Sides are large enough to share. Great benefits in Executive Club. Not only did I get a gift certificate to come back for my birthday, but they also gave me a free dessert. Atmosphere is upscale and comfortable at the same time. I keep coming back because... More

Went here for lunch with a friend, convenient location with plenty of parking. Very nice decor and pleasant atmosphere. I chose a chicken wrap that sounded delicious.I appreciated being able to substitute fresh asparagus for the fries. However, the wrap and asparagus were very heavy of salt. My friend had the same experience with her meal and only ate half... More

Took the wife last Saturday, great environment, nice bar to the left, spacious, open dining room to the right. Had the KC strip, it was seasoned and cooked just perfectly, nice wine selection, had a great bottle of Raymond Reserve Cab, excellent service, waiter was kind enough to grab a second steak bone from the kitchen as we have two...

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The menu is extensive, the service is excellent, the portions are reasonable and the quality is outstanding. The decor is top notch. The prices are on the high side as you might expect at such a high quality restaurant.

My husband mae reservation just hours before on a Friday evening, which was off to a good start. I would request a table in the back room if you are concerned about noise, it can get loud in there. The wait staff was ultra attentive, the wine selection very large and we had a delicious cabernet for $49. Now we... More

It was Christmas time and a nice dinner out is what we needed. We enjoy Filet and NY Strips once a month and will drive up to an hour away for a good one. This one is in the neighborhood and we wanted to try it out. It is not at the top of my list. It was busy and... More

Made reservations the day of no problem. First time there and we were seated at the table in the corner by the kitchen. The restaurant decor was well appointed and inviting. Ordered the oysters very good except the mignonette sauce had to many whole peppercorns in it. The carpaccio was one of the worst I have had. The micro greens... More
