    The steak frites is not worth ordering. I ordered a medium steak and it was dry and chewy whilst my girlfriend steak was medium rare cooked and it was raw. The cocktails was good.

    We always love spending some time here. Super great burgers cooked to perfection, and zero Bitburger beer is the best!

    Met with a group of old work colleagues and we all had a great time. The food was lovely and service was fantastic. It was lovely to sit outside in the sunshine too.

    Great food. Love the Borough Market location and vibe. One small blip in the service when the waitress hovered over me while I was finishing eating my starter.

    My wife and I came here for our anniversary and it was a prefect choice. The salmon and stake we chose was delicious and the margarita paired great with the salmon.

    Me and a friend visited the Black and Blue restaurant at Borough market for lunch on Easter Sunday. The service was excellent along with the food and ambience of the restaurant. The location of the restaurant is good too as it's in the heart of Borough Market.

    I love a steak. Usually opt for fillet so did so this time. It was not cooked how I requested and was bland and uninspiring. It also cost a hefty £39 and looked the same size as my friend’s pave steak-frites, which was part of their Prix Fixe menu of three courses for £30. She kindly let me try some of hers and it was nearly as smooth as mine. So I felt I’d wasted lots of money. We also ordered and sent back a side dish of green beans that was served like warm and very over done. These were removed from the bill without any bother. Staff were friendly and the restaurant is smart
