"We were greeted with smiles at the door. Seated in a booth that was very comfortable. I had the seared tuna salad and my husband had the steak. I enjoyed a glass of wine. And because it was my birthday, the waitress gifted a chocolate covered slice of cheesecake that my husband and I shared. Highly recommend and I will be back!"

"Food was tasty but cold (both appetizers & main dishes) Service could have been better but wasn't horrible. 20% gratuity is automatically added to your bill regardless of service and what I REALLY did not like was NONE of us were given an actual physical check to view & weren't even offered an electronic 1 to look at. Made reservations for about 20 of us well in advance & I was called last minute by GM to inform me whoever answered their phone did not assign us a section so we all had to sit apart. I wanted to ♥ this place but did not. It was just ok. I would give them a 2nd chance if some changes were put in place."

"Several steps above the norm. 10 out of 10 for everything we ordered. Savory, unique, delicious. Never boring. We ordered nachos as an example. They were not the normal TexMex type nachos. The chips appear to have been thin cut from a potato and fresh fried. The meat and cheese were exceptional. The breaded fried jalapeños in the nachos were a delicious surprise. As always the meat skewers and the associated sauce doesn't disappoint. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food. You can certainly pay the same elsewhere and leave with a "meh" feeling. Not at Blackstone. The waiter was very nice and professional. Adds to the experience. Go there for a nice meal or a special occasion."

"The burger was pretty basic. The chicken salad had these weird, foamy rice curls on the bottom, which i did not like. Had my favorite fries! Booths were comfy."

"Always outstanding service and food. Very busy Saturday night and the hostess sat us quickly. The waiter was very good and enjoyed his job. He checked on us at the right times and made sure we had everything we could need. The teriyaki salmon with cooked spinach was incredible!! Blackstone is always a top tier resturant from the staff to the food 100% the atmosphere is always happy and inviting. Recommend this experience in the Iowa city area."
