Black + Blue

I know what you're thinking; What is a Vegetarian doing at a steak house? What can I say, my friend really wanted to try this place out so not wanting to be a party pooper, I decided to give it a try.

Boy were we disappointed. My friend's steak & salad order was apparently boring. My Grilled Vegetable Panini, pictured below, was just meh.



And service? I don't know if it was because we went for lunch, but it sure was lacking. The waiter serving was not out right rude, but he did not even smile once. Were we giving off the wrong kind of vibe or was he just having a bad day?

My panini was cold for some reason, it is suppose to be grilled isn't it? The vegetables inside smelled kind of like gas??? And the bread was hard. Using fresher bread and heating the food up before serving it could have made all the difference. The salad was also just blah. The fries were actually alright; I enjoyed the flavouring they added to these fries.

The only thing Black + Blue has going for it is the ambiance, but I felt that the fire they had going was too strong and made the room too warm. Oh and the other good part about the place is the host up front who was very friendly. Other than that? Zilch.

I really should have taken the low Urbanspoon rating for this restaurant as a hint about what to expect.
