We had the ribeye for two, and it was prepared perfectly. Probably one of the top 2 or 3 steaks I've ever had. The accompanying salad and fries were also yummy. We also had a bottle of the doppio passo primitivo, and it was excellent. We couldn't have been happier! read more

One of the best steak dinners I've ever had! I was visiting Amsterdam last month and the deskperson at my hotel recommended this place, which was a few short blocks from the hotel. I strolled over and without a reservation was able to get a great seat around 7 or 8 pm on a Sunday night. The decor is sumptuous, velvet seats, gorgeous lamps, beautiful reclaimed wood tables. It's a bit crowded but because the décor is so beautiful it doesn't feel that way. Service was friendly and attentive, which is so important when dining solo. I started with a glass of Prosecco, followed by the ribeye (forget whether I got 160 or 250g, but I think it was the smaller portion) which comes with unlimited salad and fries (which are also very good). The steak was a perfectly grilled medium, served on a beautiful wooden slab salt/pepper/onion on the side. It was so good that I still think about that meal weeks after I had it. For dessert I had the chocolate dream with some tea. It was also beautifully presented and delicious. Definitely come to this place if you have a chance, you won't regret it. I'm already looking forward to my next trip to Amsterdam and a return to this place. (And I live in NYC so I know good food when I see it!) read more

Made a reservation for 6. Our table was available when we arrived. I'll get to the point, this is a nice restaurant food was amazing but the service sucked!! no refills on water after asking numerous times ( 6 to be exact) each person asked for water and they still didn't get the hint to bring more. they also didnt explain the menu. we ordered 2 bottles of wine we told.them one more bottle and they brought out two. they need to learn to communicate better read more

Food okay, average for what I have tried around town and higher priced than average for the small portions served. Very busy when we came for lunch and only one served which made service slow. read more

Very good food and nice atmosphere. It was just a short walk from our hotel. We were able to sit down without a reservation. The roast pork and steak were both great as was the red wine. read more

I had a wonderful dinner at this restaurant! The food was very good and the staff was EXTREMELY friendly! Thank you for a nice time.

Great basic steakhouse. Came with my wife and 3 kids and we got four tenderloin steaks and a Cornish game hen. Food looked and tasted great. Perfectly prepared. Also great service and reasonable price. read more

Our server Alex was very attentive and friendly (speaks 4 languages too!) He was speaking to us in English, turned around and continued the conversation in French with another table, then spun back around and chatted Dutch with another. Wow! The food was absolutely incredible: we ordered the soup of the day, scallops, creamy cheese dip and the burger with unlimited fries. Everything was fantastic, including the presentation, but the star of the show was that soup: it was a concoction of celery and some other vegetables: it completely blew our minds. Over all, a great experience, location, servers and food. Check them out. read more

If you want a really good steak without breaking the bank you'll want to go here, We arrived about 15 minutes early for our reservation and were seated promptly, it started to fill up quick, so I would recommend you get reservations. the steak was phenomenal, good to both of our likings, and the fries were perfect, the servers although busy were attentive and polite. I highly recommend and would return to this establishment when next in Amsterdam !! read more

Walked by the place was delightfully decorated, my fiancé and I walked it were shocked to walk into big space wonderfully decorated as well. The staff are welcoming the music is chill and the drinks are great. We order the cheese board, salmon , and beef tartar EVERYTHING was delicious and fresh. Awesome munchie spot read more

The food here was great. I had the burger and my mom had the Cornish hen, both were amazing. Staff was super friendly. Also, it's close to the Anne Frank House read more

Beautiful restaurant right on small canal so out of the tourist chaos, very beautiful, modern design and the food is really good! Nice selection of high end bistro and steakhouse items. The game hen was very good! I highly recommend this place especially to get from the tourist traps. read more

Came here for a late-night dinner during a week away. The service was great and the atmosphere was very welcoming! The food was altogether very good - though perhaps not quite worth the price tag. That said, the glasses of wine are very well priced - no need to buy the bottles! read more

This place has a great vibe when you walk in. Great tables and decor. Great location,very close to the Anne Frank house. My daughter and I got the steak salad and it was so good. The steak was prepared perfectly and the salad was fresh. My son got the burger, it was also yum and you get fry refills, they are delicious! I'd give 5 stars but the service was marginal. The waitress actually forgot about us. Even when we went to her on our way out to pay she seemed to have no idea she had been serving us. It was a good meal, cool ambience, service meh. read more

Nice, but probably not worth the money. Lovely decor and staff were mostly helpful. Portion sizes and food quality perhaps weren't the greatest. Attention to detail could have been better, but the experience was by no means poor. read more

So the name.. Which is in itself somehow quite intriguing. Being a huge burger fan, I found the burger to be quite bland.. The staff are however very friendly and the decor creates a good atmosphere. I would recommend going on a busy night to get the most of the ambiance of the place. read more

Came here a few weeks ago with my family when we visited Amsterdam. We came in around 5pm so it was an early dinner. They said they were fully booked, but luckily were able to open up a table for us for about an hour, which was more than enough time. The service was very fast and food was great. We had the scallops and a yellow curry dish, with a flatbread appetizer. The ambience was very nice and the bathrooms were very clean too. It was right next to where we docked for our canal cruise so it is in a walkable location from some of the main spots, like the Anne Frank house or the tulip museum. All in all, a good meal! read more

Four stars fits this restaurant. The service and waitstaff is a little flakey and the presentation of the food misses a beat but otherwise it is excellent. We had a burger and a steak along with a side of veggies. All well prepared although the steak was supposed to be thinly sliced but it wasn't sliced at all. The veggies were excellent and nicely prepared. Price wise, expensive but not overly so. Waitstaff was very friendly and talkative. A bit disorganized when it came to seating but not a major fault. Dessert was just "meh". Good location. read more

Overall, a very good meal. Steaks were delicious and well cooked. Cornish hen was also great. Slow start as we were seated at the very back of the restaurant (when all others were seated in the front). Once we were able to order after 30 minutes, the pace picked up. The servers were apologetic and took really good care of us. Could have done with different sides than the fries and salad, but we had a nice meal. read more

I thought that everything the table ordered looked great. The service itself was from a friendly staff and they were even knowledgeable enough to make a difference in our decision on wine. The atmosphere inside was cozy yet lit enough to see the people around you. For me, I choose the burger which was very juicy and flavorful. The prices seemed a little high but it was right in the center of things. Overall I like Black and Blue. Will certainly give it another try with some things on the menu. Although I think the vegetarian options were quite limited. read more

We enjoyed the experience so much we went back the next night. We had 2 different steak dishes, roast pork and a burger, all were delicious! Our sever Nikki was delightful! read more

It is a little expensive. That being said, it is delicious, and the portions are generous. There is an extensive wine but a limited beer selection. They burger and fries were so good. My girlfriend's salad was huge, and the steak in it was cooked to perfection and very tender. Very comfortable atmosphere and seating. read more

Very nice and comfortable interior to the restaurant. Food is solid, including free refills on fries. Steak was very good - my American boyfriend felt it was underseasoned in comparison to a US steak, but the waitress can talk you through options of the different steaks and flavourings available. Delicious home made desserts. Attentive and friendly wait staff. read more

Been here twice now and we've really enjoyed it. The staff are very friendly and very professional and the steaks were cooked just right. Would definitely recommend it! read more

Our favorite restaurant in Amsterdam. Food is delicious and it is a very relaxed atmosphere. On a beautiful day you can eat outside with a quiet view of the canal. Menu is good from top to bottom. Staff is very friendly. Perfect place to peacefully unwind after the day. read more

My friends and I were vacationing in Amsterdam from San Francisco. We were only there for 3 days, so we were fairly jetlagged and ended up looking for dinner places a little too-late in the evening, usually around 10 o'clock. In Amsterdam, most restaurants are either closed on only serving bar food, so we didn;t have very good luck the first 2 nights of the trip. On the last night, we didnt plan well again, but luckily stumbled upon Black and Blue, which was getting ready to close but agreed to serve us anyway. Already off to a friendly and hospitable start! The staff were the friendliest we had encountered on the trip (most people are nice in Amsterdam, but this staff was superior). To make a long story short, there was a miscommunication with our order and we ended up with a huge feast of lobster, whole fish, steak, and cornish hens! And they were extremely gracious and did not make us feel in any way to blame for the mishap. Instead, they gave us all the food and stayed open late until we were done. So, what made my experience here was certainly the service, but I have to mention also that the food was amazing! It was the best meal of the trip and also extremely affordable (as compared to SF). We were happy campers! read more

Good food but abrupt and rude service. I got yelled at. Very uptight staff. Questions asked politely answered rudely. Don't come back to you and you can't find them, when you call for them they don't acknowledge you and if you keep calling they yell :( read more

Had a fantastic dinner here tonight-- if you are a vegetarian or fish lover I'm sure they can accommodate but we were here for the steak (as seemed to be the case for most). Great drinks, nice goat cheese app, fantastic flat iron steak (like buttah!) w/fries & salad. Small but nice wine menu. Place is packed/ make a reservation. read more

I think I just don't get this place. They were packed and people really seemed to be enjoying themselves. My steak was woefully underseasoned but after I finished it I noticed they had supplied me with salt and pepper on the steak plate, so presumably they leave it to the diner to add whatever seasoning they want. It was also somewhat overcooked but again, perhaps it's just me. I wouldn't hurry back but clearly other people love the food. read more

Very friendly staff, great burger. Burger portion was sufficient. Cozy setting. Free wifi.

Great customer service, terrific wait staff, and excellent Black and Blue steak cooked to perfection.

great grilled lobster, very nice home made fries, great death by chocolate desert and reasonably priced for what you get.

Very cosy steakhouse nearby the city center. The steak was absolutely delicious as well as the burger.
