Blackstone

Blackstone ran out of tuna, lamb, snapper, slaw, fries, and broccoli. Are you kidding? My wife ordered the surf and turf, and I ordered the strip steak. We added sides of mashed potatoes and spinnach. Everything was ho hum. The steaks, as said in other reviews are tremendously inferior to what can be had at half the price at many other restaurants - Copeland's has them beat hands down any day. The potatoes were less flavorful that what comes out of a bag, and I've made tastier spinach. The waiter was distracted, a bit rude, and unconcerned with our level of happiness (maybe it's because he was sick of all the groupon customers), and was generally unapologetic for the shortened menu. All in all, I can't understand why anyone would be willing to spend $100 for such mediocre food and poor service.

Anyone giving this place more than 3 stars is either a shill or has no functioning taste buds.  I've had better steak at Outback for less than half the price.   There are literally dozens of better steak options in ATL, especially at this price point.  I'll give it 2 because the waitstaff was attentive (and apologetic), but I can't see any reason to ever go back here.

We went on a Friday night, had steak and a shrimp salad to eat, with wine and white russian to drink. Inside has an 'older' atmosphere, with the cherry stained wood, all around. They had a live band, singing songs from Frank Sinatra. It was cute. The staff were friendly and personable, from the waitress, to the bartender, to the manager. We felt welcome and would go back. I just wish it wasn't so far away from where we live, because it's a bit of a drive from Gwinnett county to Cobb.
