BlackStones Steakhouse in Norwalk

To be fair, we were there with a large (20+) group and had a fixed menu. That said, I left relatively disappointed. My lobster was cooked into Oblivion, and my wife's steak had no seasoning at all. Most of the people around our table shared the same reaction. Definitely not what we would have expected from a steakhouse as highly rated as this.

An absolutely delicious meal! Everyone at the table enjoyed what they ordered and the service was impeccable. We will definitely return for future meals.

I'm not really a big meat eater but I had heard a lot of good things about Blackstones! Thankfully they have something for everyone! I came in here with two co-workers on a Monday evening (back in the times of normalcy) and we were seated right away. The menu is very extensive and has a lot of great seafood choices in addition to the meat. To start out with, we got the Tuna Tartare, Clams with white wine sauce (special that night), Escargot, and Clams Casino (accidentally given to us but was my favorite!). They definitely put a lot of effort into the presentation but the taste also lives up!For my main course, I got the Branzino. After all those appetizers, I was already pretty full so I had about half of this yummy lemon-y dish and the rest for dinner the next day. I love the lemon and caper sauce, that's always a favorite.This spot is definitely more on the expensive side and has a very upscale vibe. Definitely recommend it for any special occasion!

Fantastic food and atmosphere, with impeccable service. The prices are high, however you are paying for not only excellent food, but the engaged service of talented black- tie wait staff. The wine list is just right, plenty of choice but not overly extensive, and every wine is quality. The after dinner dessert, tea, and cappuccino were decent, but not the forte of the restaurant. Overall, an absolute treat. I will most certainly be back on another special occasion.

Nice steaks and sides, great facilities for business dinner with a group

As usual Every Visit to Blackstones is even better than the last. This hidden Gem is true 5 star Dining. I Could never say enough about how great the whole experience is.. Cesar was especially attentive, and personable..Thank you again,well be back soon!

This is what steak is all about - not inexpensive - but worth every bite!!!

Do not eat here. The food ranged from mediocre to absolutely terrible. The app meatballs tasted like what I would think dog food tastes like. And the crab cake! There wasn’t a single detectable piece of crab in the thing. I don’t need to go on. It’s just bad. I won’t go back.

This is our favorite restaurant. We drive an hour and a half to get there each time. So that's three hours total and totally worth it. You have to get the porterhouse for two. Their shrimp cocktail is the best I've ever had. How do they make the shrimp taste so good? The first time I had that I scoffed at $20 for for shrimp but it's totally worth it and I get it every time now. The service is usually exceptional. Garlic mashed potatoes and creamed spinach are awesome. The Seafood Tower is amazing. They don't give you weak drinks. I don't know what else to say except for you got to go

Strange as you walk in because of just average looking shopping centers , but the food is delicious , the waiter very nice guy , great steak .

I like this restaurant very much. theres a different feeling. The food is marvelous. the service is dynamic and the crew is very professional. The price is satisfactory. I highly recommend.

The food was excellent but the only thing is the service was but . The waiters never come to the table to see if everything was ok . I spent more that $200 dallars .

THE BEST !!! NEVER A LONG WAIT THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER MOST DELICIOUS FOOD IN MY LIFE

Decent food and service, not out of the ordinary pricing. No corking fee so don't bring your own wine, but you can bring your own cake

Steak was very good but a little expensive compared to what I'm used to back home (not a negative). Not cooked exactly as requested. Most was medium rare as ordered but a good half of the cut was very rare.Service was fine, not exceptional. The food took a long time considering that we were the only table in the place. Server was polite but gave me a bit of a condescending impression.Overall, flavors were good, food was cooked well, and atmosphere was nice. Not much to complain about. Solid 4 stars. Would go again.

The best steaks and amazing customer service

Best steak in Connecticut! Rivals any NYC steakhouse. Blackstones Chicken and Branzino are must-haves for non red meat eaters. Fantastic wine list. Great spot for date night, anniversaries, birthdays, or just a nice evening out!

Excellent service and superb dining.

Very very good - was here for a family birthday and had a great time. Adi was a wonderful waiter, thank you!

4 of us went here for Dinner.We all had the filet, for each of us it was cooked perfectly and very tasty.Baked potatoes are huge.

If you want to spend your money, you may like this place, for me it's to spency and the meat wasn't good or tender!

Escargot was delicious with a little char on the top and tender underneath. The steak was seared and still medium rare over all it was great. The wait staff was attentive and quick.

Had a good experience in this place with my friend. The food came quick and the service is just fantastic. Prices are convenient.

Bone in ribeye was amazing. Comfortable atmosphere. Very happy.

I love their steak. Vegetables are very iffy. Asparagus was inedible. They concentrate so much on fine wines that they don't know what a Chablis or chardonnay are. Waiters are attentive and tables are cleaned between courses. My husband likes their pork chops.

Great taste

The only thing keeping this review from being 5 stars- slightly curt on the service end of things and a little too old-timey. I love old things and places but it just seemed a little meh on the atmosphere. Everything else was fantastic i.e. the food! The steak was cooked to perfection and the asparagus side was both render AND crisp. If you are a fan of steak you should definitely put this on your list 👍

The food was truly delicious. Started with burrata salad which was amazing. The wine list is very good. The steaks had a great char on the outside and cooked to perfection. I had the bone in ribeye. For sides we ordered sauteed spinach, garlic mash and mac and cheese. All of them were truly delicious

Absolutely the best place for service,food and cocktaila

Very well organised and accessible spot. They offer large meals and for affordable prices. We liked the menu a lot and the staff members were very affable and chatty. Will definitely recommend this spot.

Service was perfect even though it was very busy. Thank you. Veal Chop delicious. Huge tasty baked potato. French Onion soup good. Tuna tartar was too mushy like fish pudding-better when cubed.

As me and my work partner are away for business on thanksgiving my company makes us reservations here. Not planning on being away from home we did not have dress shoes or dress shirts. We open the door and see the maître d’ holding the door in a suit, awkward... I instantly feel like the wants to turn us away. We mention that we have reservations and all is well, they seat us at a comfortable table along the wall. I order bone in NY strip cooked Medium partner orders NY strip no bone cooked medium well, along with a couple sides. My bone in NY strip is brought to the table and is well under cooked, dark pink cool center. I NEVER send food back! I tried to force it down till I tasted the cool center. I requested that my apologies went to the chef but this is rare and not to safe temperature. Very overpriced!! My waiter was very nice and understanding, The maître d’ seemed to talk down to staff. So yea... we won’t be going back to blackstone!! Sorry guys!!

If I could give this place "0" stars, I would. The service was horrible. The server barely noticed that we were there, even though there was like 3 people in the dining room. Didn't want to tell us about specials or drinks. And basically insulted my husband by stating that a sweet red wine is not a thing, upon ordering. I refused to stay for continual mediocrity and possible bad food as well. So my husband and I left.

I have been to Blackstone’s in Greenwich and Stamford and now Norwalk and it has always been an amazing experience. From brunch, to Friday or Saturday night or bridal showers, this is my number one choice. I absolutely love this restaurant and the staff is always friendly, knowledgeable and amazing. I love the delicious food and amazing drinks, thanks for providing such an amazing atmosphere and continuously great service.

Great steak and service. Got the prime rib!

My buddies and I have a huge steak dinner at the end of the year to celebrate, this place has the best steak, experience, service!

At first i was a little unsure after seeing the prices online, but the moment you walk in and smell the aromas coming from the kitchen you can be sure the money you are spending will be worth it. Great cocktails awesome food and the place has a lovely ambiance.

Ladies & gentlemen this steakhouse is exceptionally good. The service is friendly, attentive and the food is excellent. Fresh food cooked to perfection. Being an avid Steak eater, this steakhouse compares to the likes of great Steakhouses like Peter Luger’s, Morton’s, Keens and Gallagher’s to name a few. Nonetheless, I highly recommend this restaurant for good seafood as well. When in Norwalk, Ct from NYC this is my spot. Bon appetite.

Great service and food taste great 👌👌

This establishment has done of the best food in the state and the servings were reasonable for the price but the service was not up to par. Maybe it was a bad night otherwise it would be a 5 star restaurant

Beautiful room. Great food. As good as NYC. Service great too. All of the above is special because I was a walk in with no reservation. Could not have been treated nicer. A bit pricey but well worth it.

The ambience, the host, the waiters, it captured the old school vibe if a steakhouse. The food was amazing the service a delight. Loved the "look" and loved that they kept to a wonderfully traditional based steakhouse. The music was wonderful and we really really enjoyed the charm.

Excellent old world service. Classic steak house atmosphere. Top notch steaks of a few different cuts.

Great location for a business luncheon. The sirloin burger is excellent though one of my associates had an undercooked piece of chicken on his sandwich. Looking forward to visiting this establishment for dinner someday.

Great food but very pricey. Excellent service.

Came in on a Weds. The staff was very kind and attentive. It has a good interior. Similar to a cafe in Las Vegas I liked.

One of my preferred places to eat. awesome location, neat, and fantastic service. I recommend this place!
