The food was excellent. Great ambience. However , the overall experience was marred a. little. The staff were excellent but it seems that there is no flow or continuity in service. One staff member gave us menus , returned and took our order. Then another staff member cames and gave us menus and asked if we wanted to order !! Food came before drinks. Waited longer for dessert than main course and even longer for a cognac that we had asked for with our coffee. We had 4 different members of staff service our table resulting in confusion on the bill with us being charged twice for the cognac. This was rectified. You probably need to consider the same staff member to the same table , allocating a staff member to cover the bar and one to show guests to the tables. Should be 10/10 but the service was not the best.

04/04/2026-Food and service were good. The restaurant seemed to be a little dysfunctional everyone just seemed out of sorts. Ordered a salad and thought it would come before main course but I never mentioned that to the staff. Food was very tasty.

The experience stated off ok when we checked unmanageable she was nice and friendly. After that, the experience went downhill. We asked the waitstaff if they could accommodate a severe garlic allergy and they were more than happy to make a hamburger garlic free. Out of caution, we talked to the chef in the kitchen and they were not aware of the severity of the allergy and understood better how to make sure the food would be safe. However when the meals arrived there was a large clove of garlic on all the plates, including the one that had the allergy as a garnish. One of our other hamburgers came rare when it was supposed to be well done. Only 2 of the meals were able to be eaten. We had to continually ask for more water and ketchup for the table. The bill was incorrect and had to be adjusted. What was supposed to be a great last meal for our trip to Amsterdam left us hungry and very dissatisfied.

Hopefully just an off night. We were seated immediately, the martini was delicious, and the Spanish ham bruschetta was perfect. Our server lacked personality, not even a welcome, just an immediate what do you want! Our steaks were supposed to be medium, they were raw. The boards they served them on were all scratched and dry. Seemed unsanitary to us. The bar was cluttered with used glasses, you couldn’t even sit at the bar. Too bad, this restaurant came highly recommended by several people.

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!

The 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.

We 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.
Black and BlueDear Theron, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that the fries, tenderloin and oysters stood out during your visit. We hope to welcome you again at Restaurant Black And Blue - Leliegracht. Kind regards, Team Restaurant Black And Blue - Leliegracht

Nothing 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.

Black 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 BlueDear 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
