  “Black & Blue Grill in Borough was so good! 🥰 The food was delicious, and Galeyna was so nice and welcoming. Pokie was amazing too! ❤️ And I absolutely loved the Piña Colada, especially because it wasn’t too sweet. 🍹”

  “Had a very nice meal here. We went with a large group so there were 12 of us. They managed to get all our food out together and very quickly without compromising standards. Everything was delicious. Staff were very helpful and attentive. Would highly recommend.”

  “We walked in for a drink and asked for a table for 2. We were seated inside in the dining area without being asked if were only there for drinks. We ordered a round of drinks and said we wouldn't be ordering food. We were rudely moved mid drinking to the bar inspite of the place being three quarters empty did not even wait for us to finish our drinks. We did not bother ordering any more drinks and wont be coming back.”

  “I visited this place on June 26th, my birthday, with a group of friends, and we had a wonderful time. I had one of the best burgers I've had in a long time, paired with a delicious glass of Merlot. The food and drinks were excellent, the prices were very reasonable, and the overall atmosphere was lovely. The only small downside was that it was an exceptionally hot day in London, and the air conditioning wasn't quite strong enough to keep the place cool. Apart from that, everything was great. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for good food, good value, and a pleasant atmosphere. I'll certainly be coming back!”

  “This is a steak house that can easily provide tasty non-steak meals. We stopped by for lunch when turned down by the French cafe across the road and were delighted with the choice of vegetarian dishes and the professionalism of the staff. The restaurant itself is really well designed and tastefully decorated. Highly recommended.”

  “I had a delicious steak and a great dining experience overall. The food was cooked perfectly and full of flavour. Special thanks to Vaida for the excellent service – she was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. I would definitely come back again.”

  “I visited Black & Blue on 14 December 2025 for a late lunch at approximately 3:00 PM while on holiday. I would like to begin by acknowledging the lady who initially escorted us to our table. She was warm, friendly, enthusiastic, and an absolute sweetheart. Her welcoming demeanor gave us a very positive first impression. Unfortunately, the rest of our dining experience was deeply disappointing due to both service and food quality. When we requested additional water and ketchup, another waitress attended to us and appeared visibly reluctant. She did not speak a single word despite our polite request, maintained a stoic expression, and returned by forcefully placing the water jug on the table rather than setting it down courteously. She also brought only one small container of ketchup, which was clearly insufficient for three people with a substantial portion of chips remaining. When we calmly stated, “This isn’t enough,” she walked away without acknowledgment and later returned with six ketchup containers in what felt like a deliberately excessive and sarcastic response. The interaction made us feel disrespected and uncomfortable. What made this more unsettling was observing the same waitress being cheerful, smiling, and exceptionally friendly while serving other tables. As the only Asian guests in the restaurant at the time, we could not help but feel disregarded and question whether this treatment may have been influenced by bias. While we cannot state this definitively, the contrast in behavior was difficult to ignore and left us feeling deeply uneasy. Additionally, the food itself was unacceptable. We ordered our steak medium-well, but it arrived well done and heavily charred, with an overpowering burnt taste that was genuinely nauseating. The steak was unpleasant to eat and far below the standard one would expect, particularly from a restaurant known for steak. While the main courses were heavily disappointing, I would like to note that the desserts were exceptional. They were well-prepared, flavorful, and thoroughly enjoyable, standing in stark contrast to the mains. Had the quality of the food and service been consistent with the desserts, our overall experience would have been far more positive. It is truly unfortunate that what should have been an enjoyable holiday meal was marred by such poor service and food quality. While we greatly appreciated the kindness of the hostess who first welcomed us, the behavior of one server and the substandard meal ultimately made our experience extremely dissatisfactory, especially considering the great reviews. I hope management takes this feedback seriously, as no guest should ever feel dismissed, disrespected, or uncomfortable while dining.”

  “Atmosphere & Ambience – 4.8/5 Black & Blue offers an exceptional dining atmosphere. The interior design strikes the perfect balance between modern elegance and classic steakhouse charm. Dim lighting, exposed brick walls, and dark wood give the place a cozy yet upscale feel. Whether you’re dining with friends or on a romantic date, the vibe is welcoming and stylish without being pretentious. I especially appreciated the spacious layout—tables are far enough apart for private conversation, a rare luxury in central London. Food & Flavour – 4.7/5 The food was the true highlight. I ordered the ribeye steak, cooked medium-rare, and it was absolutely spot-on—tender, juicy, and well-seasoned. The peppercorn sauce added a lovely depth without overpowering the steak’s natural flavor. On the side, the truffle fries were crisp with just the right amount of aroma, and the creamed spinach was rich and comforting. For starters, I had the tuna tartare, which was refreshingly light and beautifully presented. Dessert-wise, the sticky toffee pudding is a must—warm, moist, and paired with the perfect scoop of vanilla ice cream. Service – 4.5/5 The staff were professional and friendly. Our waiter gave great wine recommendations and was very attentive without hovering. The service felt personal, and the team clearly takes pride in delivering a quality dining experience. Food arrived promptly, and we never felt rushed. Location & Value – 4.4/5 Located just a short walk from Borough Market, Black & Blue is conveniently placed if you’re exploring central London. Prices are on the higher end, but the quality of both the food and the service justifies the cost. It’s not an everyday spot, but for a special night out or a memorable steak dinner, it’s worth it. Would I go back? Absolutely. It’s the kind of place that combines solid steakhouse staples with an elegant twist, making it a standout choice for meat lovers and foodies alike.”
