On our last night visiting Amsterdam we wanted a nice steak dinner and Black and Blu delivered in a big way! The drinks were great, the bread was warm and delicious. The steaks were cooked to perfection!

7.5/10The food was fantastic, but very unfortunenate that the restaurant was almost full and the staff had to much to do. That led to a lot of waiting and forgetting about the orders.

6/10We were forgotten so many times, we thought the server might've finished their shift and left for the night. The black and blue salad did not show up as ordered and it seemed unbalanced yielding very little flavor. The fries, small tenderloin, and oysters were the highlights of the night. I have no compulsion to return.

We hope to welcome you again at Restaurant Black And Blue - Leliegracht. Kind regards, Team Restaurant Black And Blue - Leliegracht

6/10Nothing particularly special about this restaurant. It was ok. I would not recommend it to friends. There are many better places in Amsterdam. The food was ok - meat well cooked. Soup was tepid and scallops not good.

7.5/10Black and Blue is a very stylish restaurant. The food is good, but by no means exceptional. The seating is cramped, the tables are small; every inch of floorspace is filled with tables. The waiting staff is young and inexperienced. My bearnaise sauce was just a butter emulsion; no tanginess, no tarragon, and it was cold. My wife's allergy was not well handled. That said, the steak was excellent, and the ambience was great. Would I go again? No; I can only give it 3.5 out of 5.
Black and Blue • Owner
Dear Robertus, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We appreciate your kind words about the steak and the ambience, but we are sorry to hear that other parts of your experience did not meet your expectations. Your comments regarding the service, the seating and the béarnaise sauce are taken seriously, and we will certainly share this with our team. We also sincerely apologize that the allergy request was not handled as carefully as it should have been, this is something we always aim to manage with the utmost attention. We truly value feedback like yours as it helps us improve. We hope that in the future we may have the opportunity to welcome you again and provide you with a better overall experience. Kind regards, Team Restaurant Black And Blue - Leliegracht

3/10The decor of this restaurant is lovely and cocktails are delicious but that's where it ends with the positive feedback. The service was awful, Dutch service is relatively slow and laid back but this was next level. We had to remind our waitress for new cutlery, water and when other tables who arrived after us got their main meal, we had to remind her of ours! The tables are extremely tight, which effects the overall ambiance of the restaurant. We didn't stay for dessert as we just wanted to leave at that point. While paying for our meal we were asked how we got on and we informed the lady, who apologized and gave us a discount on our bill. Overall we had high hopes given the reviewed ratings of this restaurant but we left very disappointed and would not recommend this place. Amsterdam full of great restaurants so plenty of others to choose from!
Black and Blue • Owner
Dear Catriona, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to read about your disappointing experience. While we’re pleased you enjoyed the decor and cocktails, it’s clear that our service did not meet expectations, and for that we sincerely apologise. Having to repeatedly ask for basic service items and experiencing long delays is not the standard we aim to deliver. Your comments regarding the table spacing and overall flow of service are taken very seriously and will be discussed with our team to prevent this from happening again. We do appreciate that our colleague apologised and offered a discount at the time, but we understand this did not undo the frustration of the evening. We hope you might consider giving us another opportunity in the future to show you the level of hospitality we are known for. Kind regards, Team Restaurant Black and Blue – Leliegracht

8/10WE booked there with a 50% discount on a Sunday night and they said we had booked the wrong restaurant - another 20 mins away on checking we had not - surprise was they had tables available but no discount. A bit of a con but good food - they were a bit disorganised as several couples were turned away the there was several tables available - not sure about this chain- but lovely young people working from them- maybe it needs to be better organised. ,
Black and Blue • Owner
Dear Martin, Thank you for your honest and detailed feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the confusion regarding the reservation and the discount – we completely understand how frustrating that must have been. We will definitely look into this internally to improve our organisation and communication. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the food and appreciated our team. Your comments help us improve, and we truly value that. We hope to welcome you again for a smoother experience next time. Team Restaurant Black and Blue – Leliegracht

5.5/10What a shame. Food was amazing, the service was shocking, laughable. Really didn’t feel like a valued customer, more a spare part. Such a shame.
Black and Blue • Owner
Dear Su, Thank you for your honest review. We are very happy to hear that you found the food amazing, but we are truly sorry that the service made you feel undervalued. That is absolutely not the experience we want our guests to have. Feeling like “a spare part” is painful to read, and we sincerely apologise for that impression. We will address this with our team to ensure every guest feels welcomed, appreciated, and properly attended to. We genuinely hope you might visit us again so we can provide you with the full experience that matches the quality of our food. Kind regards, Team Restaurant Black and Blue – Leliegracht
