M. Klein
It was our first time two Black and Blue. The overall atmosphere is pretty nice! Our waitress was good but her helper was top notch. We had a reservation so getting seated was not an issue. Nice selection of steaks and seafood. We tried to bistro steak and the fillet, both of which were delicious. Nice wine selection. The cauliflower was surprisingly good.

The ambiance is great. The food was quite delicious. Dinner for 2 was upwards of $170 (Tip not Included), so be prepared to spend a fair amount. The Augratin Cauliflower was a pleasant surprise. The Red Snapper Entree was cooked to perfection. No extra salt or pepper needed. The food was masterfully seasoned. Will definitely be returning.
Nick Miller
A must go to steak house. I got the tomahawk which was a special and it was phenomenal, priced really good ($90). Food was amazing and the servers were great. No complaints, definitely one of the top steakhouses in Buffalo.

This is now my favorite place to get a steak in Buffalo. Came here for dinner to celebrate and was extremely impressed. Great relaxed atmosphere with amazing food. Highly recommend.
Kristen Abercrombie
The food was very good! Don't order the oysters they are embarrassingly small! Loved the blackened grouper and NY strip. Sat at the bar and the bartenders were attentive, but unfriendly and even a bit condescending; very disappointed on my husband's birthday -- 55!
Eli Furminger
my husband and i visited for our anniversary dinner and were delighted! i have been on the hunt for the best crab in buffalo for years and i must say this is my winner! we enjoyed the tuna tartare, the lobster & crab fondue, king crab and a salmon entree, and dessert! the food was all delicious, the cocktail menu was fun and the service was fantastic! this is our new celebration destination for sure!
