The menu has lots of choices from appetizers, salads, wraps, sandwiches, burgers, pizza, and entrees. Very kid friendly with a kids menu. Nice size portions of food and attentive service. The first time I had the chicken wings. They were soggy and I should have asked for crispy. I asked for ranch but got blue cheese. The server fixed that right away. They only have celery no carrots on the side. The bbq boneless chicken bites were delicious! Next day visited again. Got the soup and salad. The French onion soup had a nice thick layer of mozzarella cheese, it was really good. Caesar fresh and dressing was tasty. The same server, he was great both days. Would recommend trying them out. They have daily specials too.

Not wanting to chance another DD fiasco, we piled back in the car and went to the restaurant to eat. My daughter got a 1/2 cheese pizza and the Bavarian soft pretzel rods, I shared a whole Italian sausage, onion, mushroom gluten free pizza with my husband and he also ordered garlic parmigiana boneless chicken. Both pizzas were average. Nothing to write home about, but good enough to eat. The gf crust was cardboard-like and crunchy, but we were so happy it was available. I'd order it again. Shannon was our server & she was excellent! Loved the separation of dining room & bar area, and loved that the music was playing but not loud. They have televisions all over playing all different sports. Pleasant atmosphere.

Our server, Abby, was outstanding--friendly, attentive, and made the evening even more enjoyable. We started with the fondue appetizer, which was delicious, followed by the grouper and filet with Béarnaise sauce. The cauliflower side was also fantastic. Everything was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. We highly recommend this restaurant for a special dinner!

I consider myself somewhat of a restaurant expert, and until my most recent visit, Black & Blue in…read morePittsford had been one of my favorite restaurants. Unfortunately, this Mother's Day 5/10/26 experience was disappointing enough that I felt compelled to leave a review. We had reservations for 3:30 PM on Mother's Day, and in the special request section of the reservation, I clearly specified that this was a Mother's Day celebration. I also requested a quiet or private booth and mentioned that my daughter is vegetarian. Upon arrival, we were seated upstairs directly next to what appeared to be an employee service area. We could constantly hear employees talking, dishes being washed or thrown around, and overall it was easily the loudest table in the restaurant. What made this more frustrating was that another couple seated next to us complained loudly about their table and caused a scene. Although staff initially explained the restaurant was full, they were eventually moved. Meanwhile, we had politely requested a better table in advance through the reservation system, yet because we were patient and understanding, it felt like we were simply ignored. Service throughout the meal was inconsistent and inattentive. It took quite a while before anyone took our drink order. The wine menu presented to me only included wines by the glass, despite the fact that I later saw servers bringing full bottles of wine and champagne to other tables. I wanted to order a bottle of champagne for the occasion, but by the time our waitress finally arrived, I didn't want to complicate things further. Another detail that stood out was the complete lack of acknowledgment for Mother's Day. I overheard our waitress enthusiastically wishing other tables a "Happy Mother's Day" and asking if they were celebrating anything special, yet she never once acknowledged me or our celebration. My husband ordered a piña colada and was told they could not make one, so he settled for a strawberry martini that was overwhelmingly sweet and unenjoyable. We chose not to complain. The food itself, as always, was excellent and truly the highlight of the evening. However, the service continued to feel rushed and impersonal. I was planning to order my favorite espresso martini after dinner, but instead the bill was simply dropped at the table without anyone asking if we wanted dessert or another drink. One employee who was handling bread and water service also made us feel rushed. While I was literally still chewing my food, she interrupted to ask, "Should I bag that for you?" It made me feel like we were being pushed out. I was also disappointed that despite specifically mentioning my daughter was vegetarian in the reservation notes, our waitress never offered vegetarian suggestions or asked about dietary restrictions. At most upscale restaurants, this level of attentiveness is expected. The most upsetting part of the evening, however, was what felt like dismissive and unprofessional behavior toward us as Latinos. My husband has an accent, and our waitress repeatedly pretended not to understand him. At one point, after commenting on his accent, she laughed and said, "Or maybe I'm deaf." We found this rude, uncomfortable, and inappropriate for a restaurant of this caliber. Ironically, despite the poor experience, I still tipped over 20% -- more than $100 from our table alone -- because I did not want to reinforce unfair stereotypes about Latinos not tipping. Black & Blue has always justified its upscale pricing through excellent food and outstanding hospitality, which is why this experience was so disappointing. While the food remains exceptional, the atmosphere has become extremely loud and chaotic, to the point where it reminded me more of Red Lobster than the elevated dining experience this restaurant once offered. I truly hope management takes customer service more seriously moving forward, because this visit was nowhere near the standard Black & Blue used to represent.

We arrived at 11:30 and had our choice of seats. We sat near the fireplace which was a nice treat on a cold day. Our server was great and explained specials and drinks (no alcohol for us since we had to go back to work). The menu had a good variety to choose from and we all enjoyed our food.

Fortunately, that wasn't the case here! We stopped in to meet some relatives and arrived a little early.

Everyone was warm, friendly, and welcoming--always a great way to start a visit. The tavern has a great atmosphere and an interesting, eclectic décor. There's a full bar and an outdoor deck, which unfortunately faces Culver. Still, you can't win them all! The service was excellent, and our drinks arrived promptly. And then there was the food. Our party ordered three Beef on Wecks and one Irish Burger, and everything was excellent. The Beef on Weck was stacked high with delicious, tender beef--considerably more than we've experienced at some other locations. Nobody was going home hungry!
