I’m disappointed I took photos of just the dessert, and not if the main dishes. Spent the weekend in Albany for an event, B&B rival the best restaurants of NYC. Truly, one of the best culinary experiences to date. The steak, the sides, the dessert, and most importantly, each person we came in contact with were best in class. It’s a shame I live 4 hrs away.

Best part, I asked if I could get some bread to go for my kids( kids love fresh bread!) NOT LOL SEE PHOTO

Overall, an OK experience. The food was very good, however the steak was not cooked as requested. We had to wait a while before we could flag someone down to help us. For the same reason, we did not get water refilled for a while. Atmosphere was quiet, music was good and good volume, but the above negatively affected the experience. Compared to our earlier experiences here (which were great!), and because of the money spent, the overall experience this time was not up to standard.

Apps were on point. Steaks? Next-level—perfectly cooked, packed with flavor. But what really made the night was the service—fast, friendly, and genuinely dialed in. They treated us like VIPs without the pretension. Easily one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time.

Very nice overall! The wagyu rib eye and scallops were top notch! The steak was like butter, highly recommend!

Black & Blue is a steakhouse with an excellent atmosphere and truly incredible service. The staff was attentive, professional, and made the experience very pleasant.
As for the food, I personally found my steak a bit overcooked for my taste. That said, the menu looked interesting overall, and I could see myself going back to try other dishes and form a more complete opinion.
Overall, it was an enjoyable experience, especially for a date. The ambiance and service really make it a nice place to spend an evening.

Henry and Ralph at the bar are extremely personable and can make the best espresso martinis you’ll ever have! We loved happy hour oysters at the bar and steaks of course for sit down dinner afterwards!

My boyfriend and I have been coming here since 2022. We actually had our first date here and so this place has always had a special place in our hearts. BUT Ryan, our waiter (who we request EVERY time), has made the experience all the more amazing every and each time. We really appreciate the quality of the food, atmosphere, and service. We always end up coming earlier than our reservation time and get a couple of drinks by the bar – service at the bar is also always amazing. If you’re debating where to go to dinner, definitely swing by bc its an amazing experience. Also if you love cheesy goodness I recommend the hash browns (Ryan put us on them and they are so good – he honestly deserves a raise!!)

My family and friends went to Black & Blue Steakhouse in Albany for a birthday celebration, and the entire experience was excellent. Our table service by Kat was fantastic—she was attentive, friendly, and made sure every detail was handled. The food came out perfectly prepared. I ordered the Wagyu steak, which was cooked just right, and my daughter had the salmon, which she loved. They even plated, dressed up, and served a cake we brought in, cutting it for the table and making it feel special. From start to finish, the evening was completely taken care of. A fantastic experience all around.

Great place with easy atmosphere. We had Katina as our server, and she was amazing. We had the Grouper, seafood tower, and finished with an amazing Cheese Cake with fresh berries over the top. Wow! Next time we are in the area, we will be back.
Thank you for the wonderful food and service. Cheers
