Black & Blue Steak and Crab

We sat at the bar, had 7pm reservations.SERVICE: outstanding. Friendly greetings. Dan, our bartender/server was attentive, personable and pleasant.BAR: comfy seats. My cosmo was made perfectly, although quite small. Not coupe glass small, but not adult size martini glass size. $15.FOOD: Pretzel bread yummy (complimentary). The French fries were crispy and the aioli was tasty. The bone in cowboy rib eye was cooked perfectly. Mashed potatoes creamy. ATMOSPHERE: Warm, Classy, Inviting. Many table options from high tops, long tables, lounge and restaurant. Not too loud so you can have a conversation without shouting.Although we did not have a special celebration, the patrons next to us did. They got complimentary dessert with a special topper. It was special but not over the top. Classy.

First time visiting here from La and I have to say this place does not disappoint. Such a cute, chic and quaint atmosphere. Emanuel and Kayak were absolutely fantastic, with the greatest attention to detail and customer service. Highly recommend the shrimp cocktail, crab cake, steaks /sides and crème brûlée.

Came here for Dine Out Boston and was subjected to amazing service, an elegant yet unintimidating ambiance, and the best soup I have ever had (She-Crab soup). Following flavorful and creamy goodness was a 7 oz filet mignon wrapped in bacon, and ending with a flourless chocolate torte. Everything was tasty and I would definitely return, special occasion or otherwise.

I always like coming to Black and Blue, Burlington, when my parents come in for good high end meal. The restaurant is clean and classy and the food is always delicious. The service is very attentive and prompt. We ordered the Kansas City bone in steak and the lamb chops and the creamy kale side and mushrooms. We did order the salad and tuna tartare for app. We tried ordering king crab but unfortunately that was not available when we went at four forty five pm on Friday. The steackks were cooked perfectly. Make sure you make your reservations in advance as it books very quickly. There's plenty of parking outside.

Our experience at black and blue in Burlington was absolutely exquisite. From the second you walk in the door to the moment you leave the service is fantastic. From the hostess, to the servers, to the table bus staff, there is not a detail that is overlooked. The space is very intricate and refined, a very clean environment with nice decor. I unfortunately forgot to snap a pic of our appetizers, but the calamari was delicious. Perfectly crunchy fry with a very fresh taste to the seafood. The 14 ounce boneless ribeye was a top five steak I have ever had in my life. The steaks come with a choice of two side sauces, I opted for the Gorgonzola cream and the peppercorn cream, both were fantastic. I highly recommend this establishment and truly believe that it rivals any steakhouse in the Burlington area.

Overall, our dinner at B&BS&C was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. It wasn't perfect, as there were a few missteps along the way. But in each case, the issue was quickly corrected to our satisfaction and a credit to our serving team. The quality of the service, food, and atmosphere were top notch.On being seated, one thing that surprised me was that we were not given a wine list of wines by the bottle, just the drink list with wines by the glass. This list is available upon request, and perhaps they either don't have enough of the lists to go around, or many customers don't order wines by the bottle. They can be pricey here. But we were able to find a bottle of Spanish red wine we really liked at a reasonable price.Meal options are "talked through" quite well, food comes out quickly, and we were checked on constantly. My strip steak, while cooked exactly to order, was seared slightly more than expected. Everything else was spot on.Our biggest issue was with the oyster sampler. We ordered the sampler of 4 oysters, but 6 were brought to us. I told our server that we had only ordered 4, and he said our waiter gave us the other 2 gratis. However, when we received our check, we saw that we were indeed charged for them. After pointing this out, we were compensated quickly, but I suggest that if you order oysters and don't get the same number as you ordered, check your bill. That being said, the oysters were delicious!All in all, it was a fine and delicious evening. It's ironic that there's a B&BS&C only a couple of minutes from my home, yet I came to this one, 3 hours away, first... gotta hit the one in Albany now.

The rib eye was a perfect medium rare and juicy.. but the highlight of our meal was the chocolate lava cake-- the largest I've ever seen EVER!

Good food and drinks. Nice help tooSteak and seafood are always good and well served

Service - we were seated really quickly. Our service staff were all friendly and attentive!Ambiance - classy wood and black metal fixtures throughout the restaurant. Nice comfortable seating. There were big screen TVs playing college football when we visited at the bar area.Food - we ordered the following:Calamari, chopped and Caesar salad, lobster, lamb, shrimp, filet mignon, bone in cowboy ribeye, scallops, sides of Asparagus, Mac and Cheese and mushroom. Desserts of Creme Brûlée and Cheese cake to share. Alhambra Malbec wine. Everything was delicious (except for the mushroom which was waaaaaay too salty).

We had a wonderful dinner here! To start, the wait staff goes above and beyond to make sure the tables are clean and they pay attention to every detail. Our waitress reviewed the menu with us and explained the new options. They just recently updated the menu 2 days ago, so there were many new drink and food options to choose from.For appetizers, we decided to go with the meatballs and crab cake. The meatballs were delicious and came on skewers in sauce. The crab cake was served with an arugula salad with citrus fruit. Both apps were delicious. We also got the She Crab Soup, which was also delicious. The soup is great to dip the bread in too. For our entrees, we got steak and snapper. We also got sides of asparagus and hash. The steak was cooked absolutely perfect. The snapper was amazing! The purée with it was unbelievable and I couldn't get enough of it. The asparagus was good, but I definitely wish they gave us more since it was $12 and we only got a few pieces. The hash was amazing; it was crispy with a soft potato explosion inside and truffle and Parmesan on top. We were there about 2 1/2 hours so it is definitely an experience to savor rather than a fast meal, but we enjoyed our time. You can tell they put a lot of care into service. They check on you frequently, make sure you have what you need, and give you a wonderful experience. The restaurant is spotless and the booths are so comfortable! There are even soft pillows in the booths. They take great pride in what they do and it really shows. We had a great night!
