Chocolate cake

Black + Blue Vancouver -- Land & Sea Monday (Rooftop Dining) We visited Black + Blue for their Land & Sea Monday special and had a really nice overall experience, especially dining on the rooftop. Service: Our server Marco was very attentive, friendly, and made sure everything flowed smoothly throughout the meal. Food: * Starter Salad: A generous portion with a great mix of textures and flavors. The dressing tied everything together really well -- surprisingly one of my favorite parts of the meal. * Mussels (Add-on): Really enjoyed this dish. The broth was flavorful and comforting -- definitely worth adding. * Mains (Steak & Lobster): - Lobster: Fresh, meaty, and well-prepared - Beef Tenderloin: Tender and juicy - NY Steak: Slightly chewy compared to the tenderloin, so I ended up taking it home * Sides: Came with baked potato and broccoli -- simple and balanced with the mains. * Dessert (Chocolate Cake): Very large portion, not overly sweet, and nicely moist. My sister had it before, that she remembers how good it was, which made us decide to go for the Land & Sea special. Ambiance: The rooftop setting with the fire feature adds a really cozy and elevated feel, especially for evening dining. Overall: A great place for a "treat yourself" meal. Some dishes stood out more than others, but overall a very enjoyable experience with excellent service. Would come back to try other menu items.

Happy Hour Menu

We ordered the following Happy Hour items: Steak House Nachos: House spiced potato chips, bacon, cheddar, jalapeño, habanero crema, steak chili Quattro Formaggio flatbread: Pesto, Fior di latte, goat cheese, brie, fontina, pinenuts Phyllo Prawns Kataifi wrapped prawns, watercress cream What a great meal the 2 of us enjoyed. It was more than enough food. In fact, we only ate 2 slices of the flatbread and took the rest back to our Airbnb. We asked for a bag and they gave us a really cute sturdy cloth bag. The ambience is gorgeous and the staff is very friendly. I highly recommend coming here, especially, during happy hour!

A very happening rooftop patio where a lot of business lunches seem to be happening. Have a DJ and a very dark elevator to get to the roof. Food is of a good portion and in line with what you would expect from the glowbal group-- it's decent, but not mindblowing. Service was pretty good. Happy hour menu no longer has the truffle fries like online.

Came here for my birthday, was somewhat disappointed. Food was okay, except for the side of brussels sprouts which tasted really burnt. And they were probably understaffed as our food took forever to arrive... spent more time waiting than eating. Tables are set up really close together.

The ambience of this place is absolute freaking marvellous. The server was absolutely lovely with great energy and vibe. Food was delicious exactly what you want from a steak restaurant. It's cute and somewhat cozy depending where you are seated. If you are going on a date and want to impress, this would be THE spot!!!!

Wonderful brunch experience. The food was fantastic--the B+B benny was exceptional and perfectly cooked. It was a perfect poached egg. Service was fantastic--attentive and friendly. Marco is the best. Really reasonable prices. A real hidden gem brunch.

I have been to Black + Blue and The Roof many times. Its design and decor are very classy and modern with a slight great gatsby vintage influence. We were here at The Roof for Happy Hour recently and it was great. Drinks and food were all delicious. We didn't have a reservation but were lucky and able to get a table, so I recommend making a reso before, if you can.

It's our first time here and we came here for the dine out vancouver festival . Lydia , our server was very nice and warm , the food was excellent . And also the manager who went from table to table to welcome and check on their guests . The Roof is the Black and Blue casual dining but we felf like it was a fine dining . Overall an excellent dining experience

Red sangria

We came for happy hour to the roof on a Thursday. Most of the tables were full but we were able to get a spot. I always love the view up at the Roof because you can see the Fairmont from there. We ordered the Wagyu beef carpaccio, the ahi tuna tartare and the oysters. For cocktails we got the sangria and Prosecco. The Wagyu beef carpaccio was lacking in beef flavour. It was cut a little too thin for me to pick up (just a snag). The tuna tartare was not bad. Very fresh tasting and I liked the addition of the pineapple. The chip went perfectly with the tuna tartare. The oysters were pretty standard. The sangria was delicious as usual. Overall for happy hour they have a pretty big menu compared to other restaurants. They have a wide variety and the portions are pretty big. The service was super friendly and helpful when it comes to making decisions on the menu. This is the place to be if you are looking for a snack and drinks with friends and a nice location but not for food

This is a rooftop at the top of the Black n Blue... food is great had the steak and also the langostinos...sides are a la carte so had the Brussel sprouts...cocktails are also excellent...the service very friendly and attentive...sitting outside on a beautiful day you can't beat it!

Beet salad, calamari, formaggio flatbread, oysters, mussels
YuBin O.

Stopped by for brunch with some friends on Saturday afternoon. We were greeted by friendly faces and took the elevator up to The Roof. Unfortunately, the weather was gloomy and drizzly, so we didn't get to experience the patio without the roof, but it was decorated beautifully nonetheless! Our highlight was the calamari - it was cooked and fried so perfectly. The bites were soft all the way through, no rubbery texture at all. The flatbread was also decadent, but I did kind of wish it had some kind of hot honey drizzle, however that is my personal preference. The mussels were also delicious with its slightly spicy kick, and the bread it was served with was perfectly crisp, while light on the inside. Surprisingly, the beet salad was the most underwhelming of the appetizers. I didn't have the oysters myself, but my friends seemingly enjoyed them. My main was the Ahi Tuna, as pictured. The serving size was generous, however I would say it was a bit underseasoned for my liking. Perhaps because the cut is quite thick, it would benefit from a bit more in seasoning to ensure each bite feels catered to. I tried to have it with the drizzled sauce, but it was not *quite* enough. We also had a bottle of Riesling at the table. Our server was really kind and attentive, and stopped by periodically to ensure our glasses were filled. My friends had the Negroni and Passionfruit Margarita, which they both quite enjoyed, but will set you back ~$18-19/drink as fine dining does. They're also quite stiff at 2-2.5oz/drink! I would definitely like to come back and check out their Happy Hour in the future.

My boyfriend surprised me for my birthday and brought me here. He said dress fancy and I'll blindly lead you to dinner. He had me put Burrard street on the GPS and when we walked in, he turned to the ladies behind the desk and said "the reservation at 8 for the roof please." They pointed to take the elevator and we walked in. I walked in confused and taking everything in. Then the hostess sat us down and introduced us to our waitress, Rachel. She was lovely and recommended some really amazing things! For our meat we had rib eye, Mac and cheese stick and more!! It was delicious! I was surprised at how well marinated the meat was!! Also let's not forget the drinks!!! If you live for alcohol, then I'd highly recommend it!!! It's a good compliment to the meal!! Also had the butter cake and chocolate ecstasy for dessert!!! I'm in love!!! Thank you Black and blue!! Also thank you to Rachel! We love this place!!!

I came for a dinner with a large group. We booked a private room and had a set menu…read more Our main server was very nice. Helpful, and he had just the right amount of service. Not overbearing, but did not neglect us either. Its a fine balance that is hard to achieve but he did it well. Unfortunately I dont remember his name. I think he was hispanic, if that helps. Whomever he was, thank you. The private dining room was good. Spacious, comfortable. The main dining room looked quite cramped though. This is the one criticism I have of their restaurant space. Food: Seafood tower - oysters were fresh, with all the usual accompaniments. Poached lobster - overcooked, rubbery. Cocktail shrimp - good. Large, plump, well cooked. Sauce was typical. smoked salmon - nothing special. Pieces were unevenly cut and dressed in too much oil. Yellow tail - also just ok. Similar to the salmon. Overall seafood tower, 3/5. For a place like this I expect near perfection. Overcooked lobster is a cardinal sin for what should be the star of the dish. Beef carpaccio - excellent. meat quality was good, served with arugula, parmesan, and black truffle. Good portion. 5/5. Australian ribeye - I asked for med rare. Was perfectly cooked. Not much of a crust on it, but likely because their steaks are wood-fired instead of seared on a pan. Was tasty though. 4.5/5. Adding a seared crust would make this 5/5. Broccolini side: lightly sauteed, typical. pretty good. 4/5 truffle mac and cheese - they use shell pasta, and its basically regular mac and cheese otherwise, very decadent, with black truffle shavings on top. Not much truffle flavour though. Its just in the truffle shavings. Could use more truffle flavour in the pasta. Solid otherwise. 4/5. Onion rings: about as generic and boring as these get. Tasted like any fast food onion ring. Greasy, heavily battered, flavourless. Crispy and hot. 3/5. chocolate mousse cake - not too heavy, not too light either. Just the right sweetness that its not sickening. Quite good. Cocktail: espresso martini - quite good. refreshing. 4/5. Overall, food is hit and miss. For a steak house, their steak is good. No crust but otherwise I cant complain, and meat quality is good. Avoid the seafood tower - disappointing in so many ways and the few good items arent worth it. Otherwise the food that I had was pretty solid. Service is excellent. They have valet parking, or you can find pay parking on the street. If you come for a steak dinner, I think you would be pretty happy. Solid 4.5/5 overall experience. Ive been to several steak houses in Vancouver and this easily sits at the top of my list overall. I dont think they are quite 5/5, but they definitely deserve more than 4/5. Since no half stars on yelp, they get my 5 stars.

The service was more personal, friendly, and energetic, and our server offered plenty of recommendations. We tried the bison tartare and beef Wellington. I absolutely loved the tartare, but the beef Wellington was just okay. First, it was nearly impossible to eat neatly. Second, although I love puff pastry, I realized I prefer enjoying a steak on its own rather than wrapped in pastry. Overall, I enjoyed the experience, but the tartare was definitely the highlight for me. Oh, the complimentary bread was yummy too.

An abundant and sizable pieces of seafood on the dish. The snap on the prawns... the sear on the scallops... the flavor of the white wine cream sauce!!! Money well spent. The ok or not so bad... -Mini Lobster & Shrimp Roll: the roll was a little flat and the seafood was missing the snap, but the flavors were not bad -Steelhead Ceviche: tasted like a standard ceviche, however the chip wasn't enough for the ceviche portion and I found myself rationing it to match the proportions The not so good... -Marinated short rib: pieces were small, thin, and the marinade was a little overly sweet and salty -Cheeseburger Sliders: the beef patties were overcooked and dry -Altos Margarita & Summer Sangria: both drinks felt a little lackluster with the flavors falling a bit short Overall, happy hour was a great experience and I'd love to come back and try more of the regular menu items.

I got one of the tablea facing the window looking over the water and the Five Sails. The dim lighting inside builds a very relaxing atmosphere. I felt like a steak. They have a good selection of steaks. Their steaks are 100% Canadian-sourced. Their prime rib is slow roasted with salt and pepper and herbs. I ordered their regular prime rib (medium rare) with fresh seasonal vegetables and added cauliflower rice. The plate was hot. The steak was cooked to perfection. With some ground pepper, the flavour was even better. Even though I was full after the main course, I decided to check out their dessert menu. This one dessert stood out from the chocolate cake, the NY cheese cake, a sundae and a crème brûlée. Pineapple upside down cake It was a very soft rum cake with caramelized pineapple, candied pecans, caramel sauce and a vanilla gelato. The combination was very pleasant. The warm and moist rum cake goes well with the cold gelato. Then candied pecans elevated the sensation of the palette with its roasted nutty flavour. The overall experience was quite nice. Their washroom is located on the 2nd floor by the access of a wide stair. There are pay parking inside these parkade buildings near by or meter street parking. Water Front skytrain station is only minutes of walking distance away.
