black & blue Steak and Crab, Albany, NY - Albany (NY)

5 /5 Scott Vining: 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.

5 /5 Tina Martin: 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!

5 /5 Carlos DeJesus: Im 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. Its a shame I live 4 hrs away.

5 /5 Kaitlynn Lee: 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!!)

5 /5 Ann D.: Always a wonderful experience. We have eaten both at the bar & in the dining room. The bartenders are fantastic, very friendly & attentive. Great variety of wines and cocktails and our food is always delicious. When we sit in the dining room, we request Kenji – he is the absolute best server of anywhere we’ve been! He’s an absolute gem.
