"We dined for Father's Day in a party of 4. Service was quite good, but the food was not what I was expecting. Friends had raved about this place so we tried it out. My steak was a little over cooked, while one of my guest's steak was undercooked. The shrimp tasted like they had just been pulled out of the freezer. The spinach was soaked in soy.
It was an overall "meh" experience. And at just over $225, I felt a little overcharged."

"We have frequented this restaurant for years and typically enjoy not only the food, but the energetic and attentive servers. This experience was quite different. Our server was curt to the point of being rude. There was a toddler at a nearby table who cried and screamed for about 20 minutes, patrons at tables beside this screaming toddler tried to calm the child and it took about 20 minutes for the manager (who I assume was the manager) came over to the table and asked the parents to take him outside. At that point, the entire restaurant was annoyed and focused on the child. I ordered the grilled shrimp and I couldn't even eat them. They were overly bland and cooked to the point of feeling like rubber in my mouth. Very disappointing."

"This was our first time here, having heard good things about Blackstone in years past. Almost empty at 7pm on a Friday night was not a good first sign. Service was very good, though menu is not extensive. Food was good, but prices were much higher than merited by food plus casual atmosphere. Prices were comparable to highly-ranked white-tablecloth restaurants, but food and atmosphere did not measure up. Reviews on other sites indicate that overall value has suffered with their participation in the discount programs. Can't speak to that since it was our first visit, but, although the food was good, we did not linger over our meal nor feel that the meal we had was worth $100 for two people, with NO alcohol, salads, nor dessert."

"The steak here is just plain bad. I ordered the NY Strip and my boyfriend ordered the ribeye- both were truly awful. The ribeye was extremely tough and my NY strip was soft and chewy. Save your money and go to Longhorn, the steaks are cooked much better there!"

"The filet just about melts in your mouth. Absolutely perfect and both our steaks were done exactly the way we ordered them. Mashed potatoes and asparagus were delish and the add-on grilled shrimp were tender and flavorful. Very attentive service without being intrusive. Bread before meal could use some improvement, but the overall experience was ideal. We had an early dinner, about 6:45 and I'd rate the noise level as between quiet and moderate. Nice."

"Food was good but they were out of several items. We sat down at 7:45 PM and I ordered Tuna. Told 5 minutes later they did not have it. Then ordered Salmon again they were out. Ordered lamb and told 10 minutes later thay were out. We had ordered two baked patatoes and told they only had one. When dinner appeared they were unable to bring any baked patatoes. I was told that their kitchen was having problems."

"We have dined at Blackstone for several years while on business in Atlanta. This pat time sadly, may be our last. There was no valet parking offered, and we had to park about a block away, and walk uphill to the restaurant. The bar was out of many of our cocktail choices....no Grey Goose, no Belvedere, no Makers Mark. Our server was sub par....he spoke so fast we couldn't understand what he said. He didn't give us any time to enjoy our cocktails before we were rushed to place our orders. The place was not even busy. We noted several employees loitering around the kitchen area. The food was not up to the standard we have had in the past. We were overall disappointed in our visit, and sadly will not return to Blackstone next year."

"Everything was good.... except the steak. I had the New York strip and it was over cooked and tough. The Tuna tartar was awesome, as was my wedge salad. The wine list was very limited, and they do not allow corkage.
Our server was very nice. She was very attentive."

"Blackstone is situated in one of those simple brick strip malls that have become ubiquitous in the Atlanta metro area. It's much more attractive inside than out. When you enter, a bar with a live band is to the right. The dining area is to the left. Although there is a door to cut the noise, at times, we found the music distracting. Is Blackstone neighborhood bar or a fine dining establishment? It's as though it couldn't decide what it wanted to be when it grew up.
The food was delicious and abundant. The service was average. Nothing stands out to me as so delightful that I would drive across town again to get it; however, if I'm near Smyrna again and desire a meal, I will keep Blackstone in mind."

"This was our second time dining there. The first time a month ago was fabulous. This time was terrible.
Recipes changed, quality of food was second rate: rib eyes were cut paper thin and the size of the plate; shells dish and mash potatoes were different; steak and lamb were tough; green beans were not in garlic butter, just margarine. The bread was stale, the rare steak was burned, the lamb raw. The sauce on the food was cold! They made Applebee's look good.
Service was slow even though the place was nearly empty.
It looked like they were trying to ruin the business so Chef Ramsey could come and fix them!"

"I was dissappointed in the price of a steak that would of been a lot cheaper at like Applebees or a place like that. I know maybe the steak is a better quality but no test differnece in the steak. I also ordered the side order of Asparagus and for the price I was expecting a little bit more that the 5 or 6 spears that I recieved. My wifes food was good though. Maybe my expectations were a little high, but for the price I felt that it was not an exceptional experience. Thank you for the free dessert as we celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversary."

"I was really looking forward to our dinner at Blackstone as we had heard good things about it from some friends. Unfortunately, our experience wasn't very good. We had to send back 2 of the 3 appetizers we ordered as they had no flavor, at all. We ended up sending back the lobster mac and cheese and the grits and shrimp. I had ordered the tuna tartar and it was excellent. The NY strip was over salted and the mustard greens were so salty we couldn't eat them. I ordered a salad and sliders as my meal and my sliders never came. Our waiter was very nice and apologetic and was the only bright spot of our meal. We were very disappointed in the food and won't be going back."

"This restaurant is very expensive on their entrees. Steak prices are that of McKendricks but Blackstone doesn't offer prime cuts like McKendricks and they aren't nearly as good. With these prices, a white table cloth should be used on tables. A good reason for me not to go back is we arrived 10 minutes late and the general manager made us wait at the bar for about 8 minutes. At the time there were 7 tables open and clean. We were given one of the 7 tables. While dining, only one other couple came in to be seated."

"Blackstone is seriously over-priced. Everything about the restaurant, food, service, ambiance, screams Outback, but the prices shout Capital Grille! Everything was overpriced; steaks, wine, sides. Our server was pleasant, but more of what you would expect at Chili's than at a restaurant that charges $40 for rack of lamb and where steaks range from $32 to $46. The disconnect between price and what you get is so substantial, I would strongly discourage anyone from going there for dinner."

"I took my wife here for our weekly date night on Saturday. It was a break from cooking for me, and a chance for her to dress up and give me an excuse to complement her all night. The food, flavor, and service were all very high level. However, we were seated next to some sort of steam cleaner. To be fair, it was tastefully covered completely by some sort of black linen. We would not have noticed it anywhere else in the restaurant.
We split the spinach dip - served with grilled pita bread - and the rack of lamb, which they divided for us in the kitchen at no extra charge. We both ate our fill and left satisfied. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will consider Blackstone again in the future.
Side Note: parking is by valet only"

"I had not been to Blackstone for several years and saw a coupon for it, so thought I would give a try. Now I remember why I had not been for several years. Hope I remember and never try it again. Food is overpriced, Wine is overpriced, we ate with part of the staff standing a glass window rolling silver ware overlooking our dining, entered on my reservation that it was my date's birthday, nothing was said, did not want staff singing at the table, but sort of expected at least a mention or a small dessert. She ordered red snapper with cous cous. Ok, not outstanding. I ordered a filet mignon, medium rare, waiter thought i said medium well, got well. Got another supposedly medium rare, actually rare, but by then gave up. Will not be back"

"Food - My wife and I both ordered steak, which I would not recommend. They were not the best cuts for the price and the presentation was not great. There are MUCH better steaks in Atlanta for the same price. Try an entree that comes with a side(s) instead of steaks and a la carte sides, which also were overpriced. We also wanted a bottle of Shiraz with our steaks and neither of the bottles on the menu were in stock, despite being listed.
Service - Our waiter was very friendly and accomodated to the best of his ability. He brought us a wine to sample when ours wasn't in stock. However, he wasn't knowledgeable about wine, attempting to talk us into a Pinot Noir after ordering a Shiraz.
Ambiance - Boring and not busy for a Friday night."

"Arrived 8 minutes before a 8:00 pm reservation. Hostess said that it would be 10-15 minutes before being seated because they were quite busy, even though we saw many empty tables in the dining room area. We took a table near the bar, next to the band, which was an excellent duo. After 30 minutes, we still had not been approached by the hostess. We decided to just order dinner at our table.
I spoke to the manager about this problem, he apologized, as did the hostess."

"Great quiet place to have incredible food and sit for a while. My wife always has the filet and I usually get the special ( Sat night was swordfish ) But the steaks are excellent and I usually sneak a bite or two of the filet."

"I frequented Blackstone prior to them starting their Groupon promotion. The food was excellent. I opted to buy the groupon to take advantage of the great deal and of course they changed the menu and the portion size. When the food came out it was cold (warm at best). We asked the waiter about it and he graciously took the plates back to the kitchen. My co-diner's food was warmer when it returned but mine was exactly the same. I opted to leave it be because I do not like sending food back to anyone's kitchen too many times. I will wait until after the groupon expires before I return. The music on Friday evening is much better than the music on Saturdays. Our server was very good; however the food and the music left a lot to be desired."

"Service was rather slow. When we reviewed the check we found the discount not applied and the gratuity added higher than listed; our family of six had an automatically added gratuity."

"Blackstone restaurant prepared good food, great wine list, in a quiet dining room experience. The service is exzcellent.
The small portions, a la carte menu, and very pricey food ($39 NY strip with no side)make this an average to poor dining value."

"I don't generally provide reviews but this was an especially bad experience. For the price point, the food was barely edible. The spinach and artichoke dip had so many onions and so much garlic that you could not taste anything else. Couple that with a less than full dish that we had to send back. The salad had so much oil that you couldn't each it. Except for the salad, every other order was wrong. Also, they had run out of fish on the menu by 8:30 pm. We will never go back to this restaurant and do not recommend it."

"I was a bit dissapointed in the Rib Eye I ordered. It was brought to the table cold and it contained an extraordinary amount of gristle. I have never had this experience in this restuarant in the 10-12 years I have been eating there. It was much better in the past. What's changed?"

"Excellent as usual. Just one suggestion. I had the salmon. It used to be served with white mashed potatoes and now it is served with sweet mashed potatoes. I prefer the white mashed potatoes with it. Next time I will just ask for a substitution.
We love going to Blackstone's for many reasons: the food, the service, but also the quite, romantic atmosphere where we can actually hear each other talk without yelling or having our ears blasted with loud music."

"We have eaten at Blackstones and few times and always enjoy our experience. It is sort of a hidden gem where it is located. You would not expect to find such a nice restaurant in this industrial area just off Atlanta Road. But the food is terrific, the service is very attentive and they have a great selection on the menu."
