The staff were excellent and attentive whilst not feeling rushed. They were friendly, polite and sociable, plus the birthday brownie and well wishes were a lovely touch. There was a great vibe across the restaurant and the food was wonderfully prepared and presented. Well done team Black & Blue

Incredible! The service, the food, the music, everything! Probably best tacos I’ve had and genuinely enjoyed my night! Tables are a little low making it a bit awkward to eat but otherwise had a blast. Highly recommend

Nice place, needs smartening up a little. Lick of paint, new tables and chairs. Food was good, but the kitchen couldn't cope with the amount of orders so closed for 45 minutes to catch up. Not the best experience, especially when you are pushed for time
