The Blackstone Grille

I was there last night for my dads Birthday. Four couples four separate checks. My wife and I make the least of all the couples. Food was great. Service was good. Our check was almost $ 70 I had drinks wife had soft drinks. At the end they bring out dessert menus and take desert orders then they bring out a free birthday cake for my dad. Big enough to serve the whole table. Why not tell us before we order desserts? Two stars removed because of this. I will not be back unless invited by family again.

4 ½ stars. Drink (cosmo) was good and also strong. I had a DD so that’s perfect. We ordered the loaded shrimp and they were great. Rolls were great too. Seafood pasta was really good yet just a little salty. It took a bit to get entrees but they were steaming hot when they came. All in all great experience. Waitress was very sweet and attentive.

Very uninspired menu. Food very bland. If you ever visited owner’s previous restaurants, you should be very wary of visiting here. Any request or mild complaint will bring out a belligerent and insulting owner. My friend got a chewing out for ordering an extra tablespoon of salad dressing!
Unhappy management and staff results in indifferent service and a lukewarm experience. I am surprised this place is still open, honestly.

Sat down at the bar for a small meal and a beer, and was greeted by two incredibly friendly bartenders. Service was awesome, and the food was great. Ordered a half order of the Light Fried Chicken, everything was hot, juicy and flavorful. Definitely check it out.

I Found a pubic hair in my pasta. Over priced food in my opinion. I will NEVER go back. If I could have given this place zero stars I would have.

The food was great but the service was weak. The guy with bread was spot on and came back appropriately. The server was very young and perhaps inexperienced and did not check in very often. Water ran dry. I began to drink from my wife’s. I had one beer and it was served in bottle, a faux pox. And since it was Blue Moon, it is typically served with an orange slice. Server brought a glass brought a glass and slice at my request. I feel I should not have suggest good service.
I’ll give it on more try because the food was good.

So yummy love all the food. Seafiod tacos, walleye, lobster wontons… and love the risotto! Jim and Lauren are the best!!!

The last time I visited Blackstone, I rated the risotto as some of the best I had had in town. On this visit, the risotto, unfortunately, was too dry. it was not creamy at all. However, the scallops were very good. My companion’s steak was perfectly cooked as was the corn pudding. My other companion had the special of steak nachos. While she said they were good, they did not look very appetizing. They make a very good Manhattan.

Just stopped in for the first time for a quick cocktail. The bartender Lauren was super friendly. I didn’t try the food but it looked good. The drink was reasonable and not chintzy. Being a bartender myself with 20 years under my belt I never expect free liquor so I order accordingly. I’ll stop in for another cocktail:) thank you for a good experience!

Had dinner last Wednesday on half off bourbon night and prime rib special. Prime rib was 10 oz which is small for a large guy like me. Service was very good and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

I would like to post a follow-​up review for Blackstone. I have recently been there quite a few times, and boy have things changed! First, the staff is first-​rate, and the bartenders are making an awesome dirty gin martini.
Second, for the price, the food is very good and really for our area, you just can’t go wrong here… the selection is great. The prime rib on wednesday is about the best I have had with the horseradish sauce.
And thirdly, I guess after having read multiple reviews about himself being rude and driving away customers, the owner has hired a GM, and the owner has decided to stay away from the restaurant. What happens now is pure magic! You are welcomed into the restaurant by the hostess or the GM (the GM is very attentive and seems to have background in the hospitality business).
So, I recommend this place to go for anytime… I have started going there about once weekly.

We won’t be dining here again. Waited 2 hours. Food mediocre at best. Owner very rude and not personable at all. Beware.

Plank salad was average, service was average, atmosphere was average, price was above average

We had reservations for a family dinner and were surprisingly disappointed. Summary…
Space — OK
Food Execution — Good
Service — Terrible
The overall ambiance of the place is nice enough. It won’t excite folks, but it also should not offend. The tables are not pressed too close together and there are booths for for more intimate dining.
The food was good. The salads were decent and the rolls were warm, but not anything remarkable. The entrée presentation was fair, but the steak I had was cooked correctly and the other five meals seem to have been done correctly. and the sides were good. I want to be clear the good was good, not great and overall executed in a competent fashion.
The Service was the part of the encounter that was most memorable and sadly. in a bad way. The waiter was unfamiliar with the menu, not present and evidently unfamiliar with normal service standards. It was also apparent that manager was unaware as well even after a visit to the table and an early apology about the timing of the salads the service never got better. We all understand that bumps happen in human processes… the ability to own and correct it is what makes a good establishment and sadly that was not evident.

It’s alright. I’ve been twice for lunch. The service was wonderful. The food was o.k. The small steaks were nothing special. The bread tasted like the pre-​made frozen stuff. Wish there was something special to the food.
The crowd was a bit older. My school age children would definitely not blend in here; nor would they like it.

After attending the Grand Re-​opening of Prospect Jewelers, my wife and I strolled to the opposite end of the Prospect Point shopping center for what proved to be one fine dine! Unusual for Gale and myself to eat identical meals but we did this time. We had the Brown Sugar Salmon, the risotto, and fresh asparagus with a delicious light bread dinner roll. Wow! It was wonderful and the service was outstanding. We’ll be headed that way again soon.
