    I always share the starters... sensational. I had for main course the blue fin tuna, astonishing, the best tuna I ever ate and the fennel salad was wonderfully complex and delicious. My friend had the falafel and he couldn't stop talking about it. It was his first time in my favorite restaurant. Kate waited on us and guided my friend through the menu. Impeccable evening.

    My wife and I had a reservation for 3:30 PM on Christmas Eve. We both ordered the same three plate: the lump crab appetizer, the Caesar salad, and the twin fillets. The lump crab was delicious and was accompanied with a citrus salad, the Caesar salad was generous and had just the right amount of dressing and the twin fillet mignons were cooked perfectly to our instructions. Our visit to Black and Blue was fresh and tasty.
