Blackstone Steakhouse

My kids treated me to a birthday dinner at Blackstone Steakhouse, and I honestly can't say enough about how much I enjoyed it. From the moment we walked in, everything was seamless—we were seated immediately at a spacious table that felt just right for the five of us. There were no delays, no waiting around—just smooth, attentive service. Soon after settling in, we were served warm, hearty bread that was absolutely delicious. My wife and I kicked off the evening with a glass of Cakebread Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, and the drinks arrived right on time. Not long after, the sliced Wagyu hot stone appetizer was brought to the table—it melted in our mouths, pure indulgence. My daughter went with the yellowfin tuna tartare, and let me tell you, it was just as incredible. For the main course, we shared the porterhouse for two—expertly dry-aged, beautifully enzymed, and so flavorful it felt like each bite could transport you. The portions were so generous, none of us even glanced at the dessert menu—we were happily full and satisfied. I did go for a coffee to round out the evening, and it arrived in a French press, piping hot and fragrant. That sharp, nutty flavor added just the right finishing touch to an unforgettable meal.

Okay, I had to come here as soon as I left to rave about our service. John was our server & he was extraordinary. from the time he came over to our table to the time we left, the laughs, the kindness, he was truly one to remember. I’m a little saddened to find out the tip is split between him & his co-part because she didn’t really have that wow factor or check in on us.. I treated my momma for her birthday, John brought over a delicious donut and sang happy birthday & it was the sweetest thing ever. I truly can’t thank him enough! It made our night so so special. Now let’s talk food.. I’ve been here a few times & always get the chicken, I think they changed something bc I don’t remember it coming with a bunch of olives lol. I definitely didn’t eat the olives or the giant onions , I feel like there’s so many other great pairings you could put with chicken! But we also ordered the Chilean sea bass.. this was the best fish we have ever had. the flavors were so amazing. The coconut, the lime, the crust, the cucumber & onion salad on top was such amazing addition. I’m truly so impressed with our experience besides the chicken & the soda that didn’t have much flavor. Just tasted like the machines need to be changed, the syrup was not there. But overall the experience was amazing. Of course we will be back, but probably not until the next birthday, as it is a bit pricey for my budget, lol

Definitely upscale, fine dining and the experience to match. Excellent food, fantastic drinks and a great staff. Liz behind the bar was great!! That girl was chipper as hell, had great stories and made quick and delicious drinks. Would definitely recommend it. Liz’s old fashioned was great.

We enjoy all the Scotto restaurants, and my wife sets a reservation for our son’s birthday here. Have been here multiple times and they did not disappoint. Our server, Sorin, provided top-tier service, being extremely knowledgeable about the menu and specials, and acutely listening to our preferences, to provide some of the best recommendations that turned out to be really pleasurable for us all. And of course, we were wonderfully surprised by the birthday presentation. These intricate details matter and make all the difference. So if you haven’t yet experienced — go see for yourself.

Had a great experience at Blackstone. Bone in ribeye Steak was definitely 10/10, amazing lobster bisque and mashed potatoes. Service was excellent. Will definitely go back and highly recommended.

Went for our Anniversary. We had the Chateaubriand on Classic Tuesday. It was amazing! The service was impeccable. Our servers (3) were very attentive to all our needs. The manager came over with glasses of champagne. Of course we added a bottle of delicious wine. Fine dining at it's best. This was our special occasion and we felt like royalty. Thank you.

We had my sister’s rehearsal dinner at Blackstone Steakhouse in Melville, and it couldn’t have been a better experience. The food was very good from the appetizers to the steaks, everything was cooked perfectly and came out hot and fresh. The service was exceptional across the board attentive, friendly, and well-coordinated, even with our large group. All in all, an A+ night. Highly recommend Blackstone for any special occasion they truly delivered.

This was our third time coming to Blackstone while visiting our son who lives on Long Island. We Truly wanted to treat him to a special evening The Restaurant is beautiful. Service was great and both servers were knowledgeable about the menu. Maybe because it was a Monday night , not sure, but we were served a very average meal . We were disappointed. The sea-bass was very good but the purple potato served was not a puree as listed on the menu , but a baked purple potato so dry, it was inedible and tasteless. The cucumber salad was definitely from the weekend service as it was wilted to the point of just being a pile of soaked, flat, translucent, cucumbers. The Greek salad had No lettuce at all. Instead They served huge tomatoes and-cucumbers pieces that needed to be cut multiple times to eat , and not seasoned for a worse insult. The presentation was silly. I was not given a plate to eat my salad -so trying to cut the big chunks in the bowl was not possible. The sushi was great everyone loved it. The octopus was well flavored but was plated really messy and un appetizing. Sadly, we spent over 700.00 for an evening at your place and would not recommend going there for the value. We don’t mind paying good money for a great evening of fabulous food, unfortunately this was not that evening.

Always a great time when we go to this more upscale long island steakhouse, owned by Anthony scotto. Been here a bunch of times and always have a solid meal accompanied by some great drinks. The bar is a nice spot to start for a cocktail which features a huge wine list and some top shelf whiskey and bourbon. Food wise there's so many good options. The wageu Sliders, sushi, and lobster bisque are usually our go to's. The wedge salad is also a nice starter. Main course wise the meat options are always top notch, with the lamb chops being my new favorite. The Australian tomahawk is also nice if your splitting a meal and don't mind shelling out some extra cash. Service is always terrific and the waiters are very knowledgeable of the menu and wine offerings. Overall if your looking for a higher class meal on long island I'd recommend.

We really wanted to like this place. From the second we left the car at valet and the attendant asked my husband if he was wearing a dress (was a full length sport coat), we laughed it off, to the waiter who did try, wished us both Merry Christmas which is fine, but should be conscious of other people's faiths. Not being obnoxious but it's just common courtesy. My husband ordered lamb chops (twice). Ordered medium rare got very well done, they replaced it with inedible rare, lamb chops. It's a shame because we saved for a few weeks to come patron here and was severely disappointed. Rereading this post it may come off very snobbish. Not the intent. I do hope they realize how much $$ all different types of people spend here and they should "cater" to all that patron here.

Ambiance in this place is beautiful. Be prepared to know and hear the party sitting next to you because the tables are really close together. Food & Service . The service on a Saturday was not reflective of what I expected. While the restaurant was able to accommodate a reservation, The wait time for the actual meal was lengthy ( over an hour) and the table seated after us was served before us which was bizarre. Beautiful presentation when the food did arrive but the sides could use a little more flavor. John the server was really nice.

Place is very nice and fancy. Upscale place to come out for dinner with your friends or family. Food is ok I had better steaks & filet mignon is less expensive places the octopus tentacle was a little dry. I really thought it would be better for the price. The waitress wasn't on top of the guest had to keep looking for her to bring the drinks. Overall food is better at Bryant & cooper.

3.5 Blackstone Steakhouse was pretty much like any other steakhouse and unfortunately, the experience didn't match the ambiance. The service was great and attentive and server and assistant made sure our large group was taken care of. What didn't live up to the hype was the taste of the food. Everything looked good but the taste left something to be desired, pretty much mediocre but the service was great so a 3.5!

Most overrated restaurant on long island. The octopus was awful , rubbery and chewy. Sent it back. The steaks have no flavor and you need to use steak sauce just to taste it. The prices are insane , $300 for two filets, one side and four drinks ! The service is top notch however but too bad it stops there. I've given it three chances , yer out!

Visited to celebrate a friends birthday. Was very excited to visit as I've heard only good things about this restaurant. Unfortunately I left very disappointed. Before I get into all that I want to say the waiters were very sweet and attentive and provided great service. The ambiance was amazing and restaurant was beautiful. We started off with drinks and sushi. The Blackstone roll was very good- highly recommend. I could not drink my drink because it was made horribly ( how do you mess up an amaretto sour? Literally two ingredients) We then ordered the lamb chops, steak, mashed potatos, creamed spinach and lobster Mac and cheese. Meat was bland and tasteless, actually all the food was tasteless. Very mid food for such an upscale restaurant. The waiters brought a dessert with a candle for my friend and sang to her which was extra sweet. Honestly we could've gone someplace else and had better steak. Not an ounce of seasoning. If you like meat that has no taste or flavor definitely go here. Maybe the seafood is better? Excellent staff, excellent atmosphere. Terrible food & terrible drinks

It's a very pretty place...the ambience is nice for a steakhouse. However, my T-bone steak wasn't what I envisioned. It was very tender...a bit too tender so that it almost didn't feel like steak. The taste was fairly non-existent. You know when you get a really good piece of steak and you do that "Wow...this is so good!" eye roll? Well, I couldn't do it. I wouldn't send it back because it was perfectly cooked and I just couldn't put my finger on what was wrong. My nephew, sitting next to me, got a beautiful looking filet mignon on the bone. Cooked to,perfection. He said it was tasteless. So, that's my experience. Seems others really like it as it was pretty crowded. Maybe it was just me...

Haven't been to Blackstone in a long time, several years ago. Amazing friends chose Blackstone and while it wouldn't have been my first choice, I put on a smile. My steak 'measuring stick' is Peter Lugers, and I was just there last night, so I was properly tuned to give Blackstone an objective comparison. I have to say, the porterhouse was better. It was aged better, much less moisture, with much stronger savory and glutamine flavor. Add that flavor to the creamy, oily fatty acids coating your mouth, and you're going to eat this steak even if you didn't want any. The cut was thicker, charred & seasoned, and seemed more generous, with stellar marbling. Round out the menu with sushi, extensive starters & sides to choose from, and a raw bar, in a huge beautiful dining room - I have to say Blackstone is an amazing steakhouse. Unfortunately service had a slip at the end of the meal. Our table of eight was ignored during the entire desert service when things were needed and we wanted to leave to watch the Super Bowl. Our server was gone, they sent in the closer to finish desert, and he fumbled in the fourth quarter. The manager was tapped in, by me, and he sent whoever the server was, and he acknowledged the situation and at least took care of the coffees (which is what we needed help with).

Yes very expensive, but the food is always fantastic. All of the sushi and steaks are top notch against anywhere else in the country

Came to dinner with friends and the atmosphere is absolutely stunning. The service is amazing and I'd say the drinks were just as great too. I am a big fan of steakhouses. I've tried several on LI but this one was recommend by my friend whom we had dinner with. I'd have the say the pricing is definitely $$$ but good steak doesn't have a price. I have my favorite steakhouse in NYC, but I'm always willing to try something new. The waiter recited the specials like a robot. It was grand! I was looking forward to the food all day. When I finally cut my ribeye, it wasn't what I expected. It wasn't mediocre but it was tasteless. Not just salt pepper to taste. Tasteless. The vegetables were in a nice light sauce but you needed it to complement the dish. I usually don't use a steak sauce either but I found myself dipping every bite to help. The pricing doesn't match the food but the atmosphere and experience. I've had better tastes elsewhere. I enjoyed my time here but the food could've been a lot better.

Steak was amazing, perfect crust, cooked perfect throughout & and of course filling. Don't be shy to use the house steak sauce. Creamed spinach is smooth. Garlic mash potato is perfect. Customer service is spot on! Very attentive. And surprisingly not annoying.

Lovely restaurant with great service. SEAFOOD PLATEAUS with SHRIMP, OYSTERS, CLAMS, LOBSTER AND CRAB - outrageously good and enough for three - four, depending on appetites. T-BONE STEAK, ASPARAGUS, FRIES - all delicious. Overall Great experience.

Went for a drink. At the bar , Got the buffalo wings ... they were horrible, their menu says they are organic.... Definitely not they had a smell to them , organic chicken never smells , they are also very dark meat that the waiter should tell you this but he doesn't so I'm telling you.

You can't go wrong with good service, great food, and excellent company. Blackstone Steakhouse is consistent with service, John was very attentive and thank you Alejandro for the fresh water and good attitude. The ambiance was nice, not too loud but not quiet. Blackstones is a great place for a celebration, date night or just to head to the bar where they do know how to make a drink. I had the salmon which was pretty good. The tomahawk steak was out of this world! And the presentation fire! Literally set on fire at tableside. My peach Cosmo was on point and I only had one because I'm a weakling! Go and enjoy! Its worth the money! You won't be disappointed.

Ambiance (4/5): It feels really fancy inside with one side as a full service bar and then large dining area on the other side. There's some booths (which we were able to snag) and tables. At a certain part of the night, the lights were dimmed but almost too dim that we couldn't see as well. The noise level was appropriate that you could hear your party. People were dressed up pretty nice (men in collar shirts etc.) Service (5/5): The service was on top of it for grabbing anything we needed quickly. They were attentive and friendly. No issues. Food: Grilled Spanish Octopus (4/5): There was really only 2 long tentacles. One of the pieces was incredibly hard to get a bite into and chew--I basically had to shallow the whole bite hole. The seasoning was on point. The beets were phenomenal with a nice marinated taste, soft, and full of flavor. Wagyu on a Hot Stone (3/5): I was not expecting to have to grill the pieces myself but it was a fun experience! There was a pair of tongs and then a piece of beef fat used to grease up the hot stone. It was very cool to see it cook right there. The meat itself was not that flavorful but was accompanied with a bowl of soy sauce for dipping. Porterhouse for 2 (3/5): The meat was an appropriate serving size for $75 pp. The meat was supposed to be aged but I didn't quite taste the dry rubs or flavoring. We asked for medium-rare and it was definitely more on the rare side that we felt that it was a bit too undercooked. It came with their house steak sauce. We ordered a side of their Béarnaise sauce but it was not salty enough or have enough flavor. House Fish (Branzino MP $49) (5/5): The fish was cooked perfectly. The server de-boned the filet. The outer skin crunch provided depth to the fish which was soft and fresh. The squeeze of lemon with the butter drizzle gave the fish a more umami flavor to it. Otherwise, the fish would have been extremely bland without any sauce. Vanilla Crème Brule (4/5): I loved that the dish was not that sweet and had a lovely creaminess to it! The layer of charred sugar provided a wonderful crunch. A little dollop of whipped cream on the side. Banana Cake (4/5): This was a very unique dessert that was worth trying! The top is a fluffy banana medley and the bottom felt like a mix between cake and cookie. Again, appreciated the sweetness level! It was a beautiful presentation and delicious way to end the dinner!

We were absolutely blown away by the service , food and ambiance. First impressions last a life time and pulling up, instantly seeing Valet was a great start , then you walk in and the hostess greats you instantly and is so friendly and professional. We arrived a little early so we had a short wait but once we got seated that's when the real fun began . They brought out bread and EVOO and it was delicious. We had 2 waiters working together and they were fantastic, so friendly and informative about the specials , drinks etc... for starters we got the bacon and for our main course my husband got the crab legs and I got the whole Bronzino that they open and filet in front of you removing all bones .and for dessert we shared the cheese cake . Everything was great . I would recommend this place to anyone . It's a little pricey but definitely work it I promise . You will not leave disappointed

Dropped by Blackstone Steakhouse for a birthday celebration. The reservation process was very straightforward. Even though it was the holidays, we made a same day reservation through open table. Upon arriving, the place was packed full of families and dining. The service was phenomenal. Tons of waiters who were super friendly and helpful. No complains on the food. I would not say my favorite steakhouse on Long Island but it's one of the top ones. The Wagyu special was a hit with the show but a little bit on the pricey side. Overall it was a lovely dining experience but a bit high on the budget. I would say it's perfect for a special occasion. Make sure to mention any events and they give a nice treat for dessert!

Everything about this place is amazing food service and ambiance the bartenders made drinks to protection

Over priced for Wagyu beef quality grade served for this dish ($36). I was not impressed at all.

Just not my scene, food was good although very over priced, could eat in the city for better and cheaper. Ambiance was trendy, "club like." Overall, the place is overwhelming, not sure if I should have eat my dinner or start dancing.

We usually love going to Blackstones but it has definitely changed. On Dec 20, it started off bad when we checked in after calling to say we were stuck in traffic they said no problem because it was only 17 mins. After checking in, we waited 20 mins to be told we canceled your table. Then, when we finally get one, the restaurant could care less about the table of 2 because they had big tables. We waited a long time for our food and then when it finally comes out, the steak that was ordered for medium rare came out well done and the $140 lobster tail came out like rubber - those and the two sides were ice cold. They replaced the steak but for the lobster tail only wanted to do the twin tail and not the $140 one I ordered. At that point, I just said fine. And then took back one side and left us with one while we waited. How does that make sense? We just kept being told - sorry it's busy - don't blame me - it's just busy. The manager came over and said something would be done for us and rectify it, and nothing was on the bill. It took forever to pay, and the waiter finally came back and said oh I thought you paid already when I said can you please run my card. The only thing that was good was our two appetizers. This service is Not ok for this type of restaurant. I have never written a bad review before; I was so disappointed that I felt I had to that maybe this won't happen to anyone else.

One of the best steak places on Long Island. The sushi rolls and sushi individual pieces were way better than I expected. This place has very good sushi for a steakhouse. Lobster tails were delicious and sweet. The shrimp cocktail was fresh and so good Took a big chance with the 40 ounce Wagyu Tomahawk. They slice it table side and give it a flaming kiss. It was good but I'm not sure for $220 it was quite worth it. It was tender and juicy but not elevated enough above my usual $95-110 range Tomahawk at my other favorite spots. The bread we received was charred. It was free so I decided not to raise the issue. Maybe just a bit too long in the oven. My mom had a $28 glass of pinot that she didn't like. I didn't realize until the end of the meal that she hadn't touched it. I felt terrible to raise this as the check came, so I avoided saying anything. Other places I've been the wait staff will notice if you don't touch something and then inquire. Service was still great though. The Blackstone signature roll had so much in it and it was delicious. You could get by with just sushi here and not even touch the steak menu. Desserts of key lime pie and chocolate cake were good, but nothing blew me away on the dessert side. This place is nicely styled inside. One other odd note... we were getting ready to leave...30 minutes ahead of time.. only a 15 min ride... and I get an email that my reservation is canceled. I even checked my phone to see if anyone called from Blackstone and maybe I missed it. No one called. I ended up calling the restaurant and they reactivated it. It all worked out in the end though. You should visit here. It's worth a trip. A few minor bumps but overall very good.

The only wagyu certified spot on Long Island, one of 3 in New York. This place is legit and we loved our experience here. Ambience was great and traditional. Waiter was on top of his game and drinks were perfect. Appetizers and entrees were great but why the 4-stars? Well we came for the wagyu, we had two wagyu dishes, the trio (wagyu from USA, Australia and Japan) and the another Wagyu dish with truffle butter. It was fun to taste the different types of wagyu (Japan wins and USA is a miss) and truffle was delicious. The problem is that they served the meat on a hot stone. Love the concept but after we were down to the last few pieces, the hot stone was too cold to sear our wagyu. I wish we were informed of this and maybe I would have pre-cooked the wagyu but I know for the NEXT TIME when we will come back.

Came here for a friends birthday on a rainy summer day with about 15 people. My steak was cooked medium well and tasted great. The accompanying sauce was additional, but paired nicely. My friend offered me several bites of their short rib, and in hindsight, I regret not ordering that, because that was absolutely splendid. Perhaps the best rib I've had at a fine dining establishment in quite some time. Ambiance was typical of a Long Island steakhouse catering to wealthy suburbanites and C-suite executives looking to woo their clients to close a deal. Serving a large party can be challenging, but we didn't have any issues with service, and they were pretty attentive to us. Pricing: As expected for a restaurant of its caliber, you can expect to pay a decent amount, but the quality was worth it.

Attended a mixer and was wowed by the beautiful ambiance. The service was wonderful and they were very attentive. The food was fresh and the cocktails were tasty. I will return again and would recommend.

Too much hype. Better steakhouses to try. Sent my overcooked steak back twice before switching to lobster.

Beautiful Restaurant!!!! Service is top notch, and food is AMAZING... totally worth the price. I will definitely return again and again

Great late afternoon stop after an all-day business meeting. A group of us met at the bar and ordered a few rounds of drinks. The staff was super attentive. A few of us stayed on and had dinner at the bar (we've had dinner at the big tables in the past. That's nice too, but we were already situated and cozy at the bar.) We shared a ribeye steak, the special Blackstone sushi roll and a few sides (creamed spinach and mushrooms. The mushrooms are truly special!) Love this place. It never disappoints.

Food and ambiance are always wonderful. Steak is always cooked how I ask which is a plus. They have a huge kobe beef hot dog on the appetizer menu which is a must try. The au poivre sauce tasted and smelled like orange juice here which I thought was really odd. So maybe avoid that Great spot for a birthday or special occasion and they offer different specials throughout the week!

Steak was excellent as were the drinks. It made for a memorable dinner. Service was on par with other high end restaurants no complaints. Went for an early lunch/ dinner and had a wonderful time.

Everythig OK except the food. The high expectation created by the stiff prices turned into dissapointment by the mediocre steaks. Visited the the place three times: First, last and once too many.

Went here for a work drug rep function on a Thursday night. Super crowded, felt like a Friday night. Pinot Grigio $13, not bad. Some mixed drinks were $20+. Food was decent. Since we were a private event, I thought we'd be catered to a little more. Staff did not put out enough tables, our coworkers were scattered amongst the room. Waiter didn't bring bread to our table. While placing my order off a pre fix menu, the waiter completely admitted to not listening to me. I thought that was rude.

Blackstone is the perfect restaurant for celebrating anything you deem celebratory. The ambiance is quite nice and definitely provides an upscale vibe if you're into that. The service is top notch and is expected to be so given how pricey everything is lol. Now for the food-- if you love steak, this is *one of* the places you should try. The appetizers and shared sides are also pretty good. Like previously mentioned, this place is pretty pricey, but I would say the quality of the food and the overall service is in place to make sure the experience measures up.

Amazing experience is what me and my partner had!!! Server was beyond patient and kind!! We decided to try the Sunday Dinner Duo. Great option if you are on a budget and your first time visiting!!! Perfect portions!!! Delicious food!!! Amazing drinks!!! The courses were brought at perfect timing, we didn't feel rushed nor waiting too long for the next dish!!! The environment was not too loud!!! All respectful tones!!! It was just right for the night!!! I will highly recommend trying this place out!!! Most definitely will be visiting again!!!!!

I went to Blackstone on Mother's Day It was a big disappointment. The food did not live up to the prices. I had a special , stuffed turbot, and so did my son. It was terribly dry and needed a sauce desperately. Any decent chef would know that . We tried a crab cake app. And again, it cried for a sauce. My daughter had a squid ink pasta with truffle and lobster. It was good but minuscule, not my idea of an entree! My kids work hard for their money and wanted to take me out for a special dinner. It wasn't! I will never go back to this restaurant!

My mother had reservations here for a Monday night to celebrate her birthday. We had two individuals arrive early and they were able to get treated at the bar until the rest of the party arrived. My mother and the rest of my family arrived on time, however, we were still waiting for another couple. Luckily, we were seated right away and could order drinks and starters until the couple arrived an hour later. Once they arrived we were able to order our main entrees. The restaurant was a decent size and was full upon arrival but emptied out by the time we were leaving around 10 p.m. They were playing low music that was top hits and was easy to have conversations with people at the table. However, the table we sat at was a round table of 8, and definitely had to yell to hear people on the other side of the table but was able to speak right with the ones next to me. All of the drinks I tried were really good. Please note this is a pricey establishment. However, the staff was amazing and attentive to you. They are helpful with helping you decide what to get for your meal. The food took a while to come and I believe it could be due to them wanting to bring all the food out at the same time. Once it arrived all of the sides were delicious, the starters were really good and my steak and others were also good taste-wise. I asked for medium-well steak and I did feel like it was more on the medium side than well but it was still delicious. I would return to try other dishes and experience the service from the staff.

I love blackstone ! I love going on Sunday and get their special with my family. The ambiance is so nice and the food is great. I would come back for sure. The service is quick and they are super friendly!

Food was outstanding, we came here for my partner's birthday and we order octopus to started it was tender and duck a good taste. For entree we order lamb chops and Bone on Ribeye. Ambience was greatly expected.

Service was excellent. Drinks were good. Food questionable at best. We ordered Ceasers salad I don't know where they got the recipe from.. horrible. No taste we sent it back. The oysters were not Long Island small, tho Mashed potatoes good, tho didn't taste truffle oil, by the way there is no such thing as truffle oil. Creamy spinach was good. Bacon strips and bone-in porterhouse were good. Ambiance is old and needs a face lift. I gave it a 2 star. Philip A. Parrino

I knew I would like Blackstone since they are affiliated with Insignia. I came here for a work dinner and the food was delicious. I've never had beef Wagyu before,and it was genius to include it in the sushi roll. Atmosphere and decor was top notch. I enjoyed the private room where our work presentation was held.Will absolutely come back with family and friends. Definitely try this place you don't regret it.

First of all, it was a celebratory meal and to the extent that the birthday celebration made the woman of the hour feel wonderful, it's hard to be too tough. She was happy, the guests were happy and those that paid the bill were happy (me and two other couples.) . So it was a win. Beneath the patina of glee belied some fairly significant structural issues to the meal. First, the service was poor. Our waiter seemed to change twice, they didn't come by often, we had to summon them for water and to give our dinner order. C'mon--if guests need to get out of their seat and summon wait staff, that's bad. Then the execution was poor. By that I mean there is as chaos in the rollout. Salads came at the same time of, or prior to, the appetizer. Ok, I get it... some folks from Europe fancy to have the salad at the end of meal; but I'm not aware of any place that serves it after the appetizer. Boo hiss. Then after the "salapp" course we waited for them to take our dinner order. Really? You must be kidding. So there we sat, sat, and sat for 20 minutes waiting to order dinner--appetizers and salads downed long ago) until I summoned the waiter....and then 30 minutes to cook....and finally our food came. Amateur hour. Completely unacceptable given the cost. Give me a break. Also, our nook was dark and dank. The round booth uncomfortable for all and wedged into the corner. Imagine this--wait staff reaching across table so they almost were laying on top of it. Terrible. Noise level was ok. Chairs sort of comfortable. Now the food--steak was amazing. I got the porterhouse and it was cooked to perfection. The fillet part was tender while the strip was is flavorful. The blue cheese crust was served on the side and deplorable--wish the waiter would've advised me more properly about ordering it this way. The German potatoes were absolutely fantastic. They were cooked to perfection, nicely crisp, and plenty of portion--could have been a little more spiced. The chicken leg appetizer was stupendous. Could have eaten a dozen. Best ever. Perfectly frenched and crisped, perfect buffalo sauce! The best ever. OMGG. The creamed spinach was also delectable--not runny and perfect amalgamation of cream cheese and spinach . The portion was a little small but that's all. The desserts were amazing--I tried them all and each one was truly perfect. Cheesecake--check! Coconut ice cream (i think) absolutely breathtaking. Chocolate cake heavenly of flavor and texture. So, the food was a 4 and maybe a 5. Comfort and lighting and noise maybe a 3 Wait service a 1 Best case a 3. I'd go back but sit at the bar so I don't have to deal with sad, sophomoric and sin-like service.

Food very good, prices were a little high though. But you get what you pay for. Service was pronto, on the $$. They served us quick and classy. The ambiance was overall classy. Because of the $$ for food ide only go on special occasions because I don't like to spend that much when I eat out. But very good ide give it 4 stars

Gosh where do I start. This place was wildly disappointing. My friends and I came for a fancy holiday dinner and this place just wasn't worth it. Despite having 3 waiters and a thousand bus boys, the service really wasn't that great. There would be times where we'd have a bunch of them tripping over each other and constantly bumping into me to waiting an excessive amount of time to track someone down just to get water. The complimentary bread wasn't even good & it's served with a random bottle of olive oil-could def use some seasoning to dip with the oil and maybe toast the bread? Anyway, I did the prie fix menu that they offer on Sundays so my starter was the mozzarella and tomato-which was a generous portion size-coulda used more balsamic drizzle though. My entree was the smallest filet and 3 overcooked shrimp scampis tossed on this massive plate looking lost-I'm sorry but in a high end restaurant-appearance matters too. Get smaller plates and also wipe the plate clean before serving it. I got the mashed potatoes for a side which was very good. The steak was also very good, they mixed up all of our dishes so I ended up with rare cooked instead of medium but it was very tender. My sister got the truffle Mac and cheese which was very creamy and delicious however it's generic Mac and cheese...what's truffle about it? Truffle has a rich distinct taste, this is not truffle I'm sorry. The dessert options were terrible, nothing unique, intriguing or special at all & im sorry but haagen daz ice cream is your draw? This is not Buffalo Wild Wings, get some homemade gelato if anything, nobody wants something they can buy at stop and shop on the way home for half the price when they're at a fancy restaurant. I ended up getting the chocolate cake and it was disgusting. We again had to wait around for a good 20 mins or so then had to get up and ask the hostess for our check. Beautiful decor but there's far better steak houses around.

Went in for a second time today with a 10 member office party. Service was exceptional as usual. Everyone loved the food. What I heard was the the octopus and shrimps were overcooked and were tough. Rest of the items were primarily sushi, seafood and lamb chops. They were just great. They have a good selection of wines and liquor too. We had a great time with the party and enjoyed the food. Blackstone chocolate cake was the bomb to end the meal.

Anytime I find a good steakhouse outside of Manhattan, I'm happy. Blackstone exceeded my expectations with food, service and ambiance. My visit was on a Monday at noon, so the crowd was minimal. It was a beautiful day so we opted to sit in their shaded outdoor extension. The waiter suggested drinks, which were good and STRONG!! They served bread while we waited for our order. We got the wagyu tomahawk for 2. It was bought to the table and seared - pretty cool. Sides - mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. This was after we had alot of apps - mussel/scallops (delicious) slabs of thick cut bacon (yum) and the star - grilled octopus with beets and potatoes (AMAZING) Run, dont walk and check this place out!

Excellent dinner, with our fabulous server Christine! First time here and everything was wonderful from start to finish was excellent with perfect service.

Reso only!! We got the last reso for 8:30 pm last night I forgot our server's name and that is my fault and I am sorry!!! He was great and I loved how he knew the special menu off the top of his head including the condiments and the prices. He was a superstar We got la palomita and the lychee martini for drinks but both were for me and delicious and I wanted to try both so my bf got them for me so I could try and I really liked the martini better We got the Wagyu steak to cook at our table and it was delicious and the presentation was gorgeous with the fire My boyfriend got the branzino and they took the bones out and I got the king crab special which they also de shelled for me as well. The crab was amazing and big pieces as well. Didn't really use the butter it didn't need it The mashed potatoes were scrumptious and so were broccolinis sooo good Overall this is a beautiful restaurant the atmosphere was perfect for a date night Ample parking and valet offered Clean restrooms but they are outdated stalls but the sinks are beautiful and lots of mirrors all over the restroom Thank you so much I'll remember this date night forever I had a great time

Incredible steak, top 3 steak I've ever had! Service was amazing and great ambiance.
