    Came in with a last min reservation for a random date night on a Monday at 7:15pm. Quickly seated in the exact booth we hoped for. Waiter was polite, food was quick and delicious. Ribeye was cooked to perfection we really enjoyed the chimichurri sauce that came with it, lobster Mac wasn’t too fishy, Roka salad was super tastey a must try IMO, potatoes were fine. We did not order and cocktails or dessert but definitely will next time! 10/10 for this meal!

    Blind Butcher was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between laid-back and upscale, and every detail feels intentional. The food? Absolutely incredible—every dish was rich in flavor and beautifully presented. But what truly made the night special was the staff. They were warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. It felt less like a dinner out and more like being hosted by friends who just happen to be phenomenal chefs and servers. Can’t wait to come back!

    Food and drinks were delicious. We had the Rack of lamb, the Filet Mignon, mash potatoes, Brussels sprouts and their famous Lobster Truffle Mac n Cheese.

    Food is always very good; service last night was off - friendly but very slow. Perhaps they were short staffed due to Easter.
