    My twin and I went there to celebrate our birthday. Our first time dining here here. Everything was amazing! Starting from the first thing we saw. I liked the front entrance. The appearance glowed and was very welcoming and the door wasn’t your average normal door, it was a wall that was knocked down and made into an entrance, I really liked that. The host, was very friendly, helpful and handsome. We were seated in the best seat in the house. We weren’t crammed, it was well lit and comfortable. Our server was super friendly. Liked her Russian accent. She took care of us from the moment we sat down at our table until we said our goodbyes. She guided us with the menu. We told her what we liked and she helped us figure out what we were going to have. With 2 big guys and 2 petite girls, The Butcher Block was plenty for the 4 of us and super delish! I can’t forget the drinks , Butchers Sip was very tasty, but the Old Fashion was my fave. Last but not least, our birthday desserts was decadent to the last drop of sugar. Our first time experience here was simply amazing from beginning to end. We will definitely be coming back for more deliciousness. Thank you Blind Butcher!🙏🏽🫶🏽🙌🏽

    This was my first time here and everything was excellent. I ordered the mushroom omelette and it was sooo good. Our waiter Mickey was excellent as well. I highly recommend and would definitely dine here again.

    Very lovely place with amazing cocktails, small plates and great big plates. Each person had something different and loved what had. Best things on menu...steaks, pork chop, lamb lollipops, roasted brussel sprouts, calamari, and their salads. The atmosphere is lively and there is a great buzz!

    We were here for a birthday dinner reservation for the first time. This place exceeded our expectations the best part of dinner was the steak and the Mac and cheese. It’s was the best we had ever had. I recommend this place to everyone that loves steak and cheese food it was delicious and I can’t wait to go back again. 10/10

    I surprised my woman with a date here, and neither of us has patronized this establishment previously. I loved the ambience and the set up. This place can be either casual or intimate depending on how you look at it. The short rib did have more fat than meat but that was my only gripe. I'll definitely be back
