    They should ask customer if a booth seat is ok don’t assume. A person using a cane should not be expected to crawl into a booth seat! Very attentive servers. Food very good,but scallops lacked flavor.1 medium/rare was great, other med/rare was overdone. Delicious desserts!

    The pan seared salmon was absolutely perfect. My guest had a crabcake and salad, and it was delicious. We enjoyed the evening and will definitely visit again.

    I'm so pleased with my most recent visit to Black and Bleu in Amherst, NY! Dining alone, the server helped my "right size" my order when my eyes were much larger than a reasonable person would eat. The Piece de resistance was the chocolate bomb cake with vanilla bean ice cream. Again the server let me know that it was massive, but I couldn't deny myself. It was indeed massive, I was only able to manage eating half, and it was the best version of a warm "lava cake" I've ever enjoyed. Thank you!

    The salad was frozen. The hash browns were cold and the service wasn't great.
