Black & Blue

This is Local Restaurant Week in Buffalo, and a number of restaurants are offering one or two options off their menu, for only $20.99. Last night we went to Black and Blue, an awesome steak & crab house. The inside was so hip and modern, with a huge floor to ceiling, glass wine enclosure. The waiters were friendly and waited on all tables simultaneously, not just one waiter per table. We were given warm bread, a croissant variety and a pretzel kind with a sweet butter spread to start. Next was our mussels appetizer (the only part of our meal that was not included in the $20.99 deal) followed by big salads with a raspberry vinaigrette. For the main course we could choose from a 10oz top Sirloin with a potato cake and Lobster buerre blank or pan seared Salmon with a cauliflower puree. Tough choice, but I went with the steak. The Lobster buerre blanc was to die for and excellent for dipping the steak in. Dessert (yes we had four courses! LOL) was a chocolate raspberry torte that was nothing but decadent chocolate deliciousness!!!! It was a pure dream! I love everything about it and can’t wait to go back!

TWO THUMBS WAAAY UP!!!
