The "seafood tower" is 1/2 off before 6:00. The larger one is $50 off before 6:00. We each got the seafood tower and that more the. enough for a meal for one. It has six oysters, which are delicious. Also six pickled sardines, which are wonderful on the provided crackers. There's also a crab claw that is lovely. The tuna poke thing is very good. There a lump crab dish in a creamy sauce I don't think it needs. The crab is good. I could lose the sauce. The only bad part was the six shrimp. They're cooked in a way that they have a flavor I didn't love. That part I did not finish. But the server was wonderful. She could not have been nicer and more professional. She made our experience great. The server on the first night we came here was also great. They have great servers. The place has a high end bar and grill atmosphere. Everything looks really clean and well put together. This is a great place to eat.

We had booked this location for a lunch after a funeral. We were to be served half of a sandwich…read moreand a salad from a very limited menu. (3 sandwich choices and 3 salad choices) Service started off good with a waitress, taking our orders and getting us drinks. Once we had placed our orders is when the problems started to happen. We brought in a group of approximately 35 to 40 people. (We had reserved a party room) Sitting at long tables with approximately with 8 people to a table. We waited and waited for our order to be taken with some tables receiving their food before we had even ordered. The waiters and waitresses slowly went from table to table taking approximately 20-30 minutes in all to take our orders. We were the last table to place our order and people were being served prior to us even ordering. We waited for over an hour and never received our food. Some people were even done at point. Needless to say, we were a little exasperated and finally asked them just to bag our food. Believe it or not, that took them another 30 minutes. In all we were there for close to two hours without being served. And when we asked our waiter, why it was taking so long he informed us that they weren't expecting our group to be so large. I think I would've preferred a simple "I'm sorry, we messed up," or even if a manager had just shown up to let us know that they had forgotten our order completely, rather than the lame excuses that they came back with. I don't know if this was just a bad day for Blackstone or if this is what can be expected from them, but our experience there was horrible. Unfortunately, as we were from out of town, we can't go back again to see if the service will be any better. I do not recommend this place. The food may be fabulous, but we'll never know. Also be forewarned if you have any complaints the management does not care.

There are several TVs if you are interested in watching a game. There is a back room if you are looking to bring a crowd but it would be best to call ahead.

We stopped at Ron-Da-Voo Lounge & Deli in Vinton after a hot day of bike riding from Toledo toward…read moreAlburnett, and it ended up being a really good mid-ride stop. Walking in from the bright sun, it was dark inside -- almost too dark at first -- but we were greeted kindly right away and pretty quickly felt like we were being treated like family. They let us plug in devices to charge, waters and drinks came quickly, and the prices were very reasonable. I tried a suggested non-menu crab quesadilla with raspberry vinaigrette, and it was perfect light fare for a mid-ride meal. Kim had the roast beef hoagie with slaw and a pickle, and she enjoyed hers too. Nothing was necessarily fancy or over-the-top special, but the food was good, hit the spot, and was respectably priced. The place has a cool old-town, small-town bar vibe and clearly caters to locals, which I actually liked. Everyone seemed to know each other. The bathrooms were very small, and the whole place is a bit tired, but somehow that kind of worked with the ambiance. From the outside, it is pretty unassuming, and if you were not looking for it, you could easily go right by. But if we find ourselves back in Vinton, we would for sure stop again. The service was FANTASTIC!
