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

Beet salad, calamari, formaggio flatbread, oysters, mussels

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!!!

Details: My GF and I greatly enjoyed a HH and early dinner at the bar on a weeknight in early October 2026. How lucky for us to find ourselves in the care of Calvin, a deeply-knowledgeable and thoroughly professional oyster geek. On Calvin's advice, we slurped up about 1-1/2 dozen raw oysters. We especially loved the brininess of the BC pa'aje and WA totten virginica bivalves; the slightly sweeter SunSeekers were good too. Every oyster was clean and delicious! The accompanying beverages (dry vodka martini and aperol) were lovely. Our follow-on main-course dishes were just okay. GF liked the poutine with shredded Atlantic lobster (when she could find any!), but declared the dish to be mostly gloggy french fries. My dungeness crab cakes were dull. For best results: stick to the raw oysters!

I loved getting to watch the bartender shuck the oysters and grate some fresh horseradish on the plate. It was also really fun that they had a variety of sauces you could put on the oysters ranging from a mild mignonette vinegar and cocktail sauce to spicy hot sauces. The oysters that day were from Fanny Bay, so they were very plump and juicy! The addition of the fresh horseradish on the oysters added a really nice flavor with just a hint of the spicy kick you get from jarred horseradish. I also order the shrimp and lobster sliders, which were very tasty.

Each one had its own distinct character, from the texture to the brininess and subtle sweetness. Honestly, I could eat these every day. Make sure to their the house sauces, so many beautiful flavors in just a few bites. The potato crusted halibut and mussels were some of the best I've had. Seriously exceptional quality. They absolutely nailed every dish. The flavors, execution, and freshness were all on point. The only downside was the AC, it was barely doing its job when we visited. Honestly, it felt less like dining out and more like having dinner in Arizona. All in all, absolutely loved it and would come back in a heartbeat.

Every time I come, I can feel the professionalism and attentiveness of the staff. From seating to ordering, and then to the care during the meal, everything is done with great finesse, making me feel comfortable and at ease. The unique politeness and meticulousness of Japanese service are naturally reflected here. The food is also a reason I want to come back. Whether it's the freshness of the ingredients, the presentation, or the taste, you can feel the attention to detail. Japanese cuisine emphasizes the quality of the ingredients themselves, and Miku presents this refinement beautifully. Every dish is pleasing to the eye and has a layered flavor. I also love the ambiance. The overall design is simple, elegant, and has a very comfortable Japanese aesthetic. The lighting, seating, and spatial layout all create a relaxing atmosphere without feeling overly decorated; instead, they have a high-quality feel. As for the atmosphere, I think it's what makes this place so special. Elegant and quiet, yet not too formal, it's suitable for dates or enjoying a good meal with friends. Sitting there slowly eating and chatting makes the whole dining experience particularly comfortable. After several visits, I still feel that Miku is a restaurant worth returning to again and again. It's not just because of any one dish, but because the service, cuisine, environment, and atmosphere combine to create a very pleasant experience every time I come.
