I love exploring new restaurants, and Bar ‘Cino is a wonderful addition to the South Shore—no need to venture into the city! The Branzino was absolutely delicious, and Jacqueline provided exceptional service. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and shared great recommendations for our first visit. The Limoncello cake was a perfectly joyful ending to a lovely time catching up with my sista friend before the new year.

My wife and I had a reservation for 3:30 PM on Christmas Eve. We both ordered the same three plate: the lump crab appetizer, the Caesar salad, and the twin fillets. The lump crab was delicious and was accompanied with a citrus salad, the Caesar salad was generous and had just the right amount of dressing and the twin fillet mignons were cooked perfectly to our instructions. Our visit to Black and Blue was fresh and tasty.
