    The lighting should be brighter, just a little shouldn’t have to use light on phone to read menu.Husbands steak was too salty, mine was bland because I asked for no salt, but thought there would be other seasoning was not.

    Black and Blue is our go to restaurant. It is casual enough for regular occasions. But, the staff will create the right setting for parties, or meetings. The food is consistently excellent. The service is excellent. Try it. You won’t be disappointed.

    Honestly the steak was good but the place was most definitely not worth the price to me , I’ve had better food at Olive Garden … the steak was the only good thing , $15 drinks tasted like something I could make at home , the Mexican corn was horrible , the truffle fries were not great either … very disappointing.. spent almost $300 for food that I could’ve gotten for $80 elsewhere … the shrimp had no flavor .. the wagu meatballs .. you pay like $17 and get 4 bland meatballs … the sauce was great but the meat itself was flavorless …

    The 12oz Wagu Strip was the best steak I've ever had. The oysters were delicous and a great assortment. They have perfected the steak as every cut was perfectly cooked and temperature was spot on for all. We had a party of (4) and everyone was very impressed with the food and experience. Ba&B is now my new favorite "steak joint" in Buffalo!
