Best Casual Restaurants in Billerica

The evening was fine. The only strange thing was the hostess took us all the way to the back of the restaurant in an open room full with larger parties. I asked to move as we passed many open tables for three along our journey. The food was good and portions and price resonable.

Always fresh and made to dietary specifications. Love the atmosphere because it’s not so noisy that you can actually have conversation.

Memorable Christmas dinner outing. Adults and kids had fun

Went to black & blue on Christmas Eve…and WOW. Neither of us had ever been but the menu looked incredible so we made a res. When we turned the corner past the host desk, our jaws dropped. It’s absolutely stunning in there!! From the bar to the tables, the ambient lighting. I was already sold. We were sat in a more secluded area rather than the large dining room area which was so cozy and good for conversation. Our server(s), Kelvin & Iverson, were so sweet. Kelvin noticed our coats kind of folded next to us and offered to check them for us which was such a nice addition to the upscale vibe of the restaurant. Now the FOOOOD. We started with the tuna tartare which was so much larger of a portion than I personally expected! It had a ton of flavor - loaded with a bit of vinaigrette, pickled ginger, seaweed salad, avocado, and topped with sesame seeds. For dinner, I got the salmon entree which came with maple glazed Brussels sprouts and a celery soubise that was sweet and tangy. The salmon filet was cooked perfectly with a crispy outside and went so great with the sides it came with. My dinner guest got the 10oz filet mignon which is ala carte - we went for the shareable sides of mashed potatoes and brown butter asparagus! The filet came out sizzling on a metal platter that was placed on top of the wood plank that was brought out before hand. He had ordered it medium-rare and it came out GORGEOUS. Perfect. It was SO tender and so tasty even without an additional sauce that they offer. We were in heaven, pairing our meals with a cold Hendricks martini (me) and a glass of Tuscan red blend (him)! We were there celebrating his Christmas Eve Birthday, so they brought us out a complimentary slice of chocolate cake with a candle in it. We split a second glass of that red blend to go with the richness of the chocolate cake as a little night cap which was perfect. Thank you, again, to the staff of black & blue in Burlington for the incredible hospitality from start to finish!

This restaurant was absolutely phenomenal. I had a group of 44 and literally had to do nothing but. show up! They planned the menu and as soon as everyone showed up they started serving drinks and appetizers, there was no wait! The owner, manager Jay and even the chef came to the table to make sure we were all very happy! We will definitely make this a MUST every offsite. This restaurant came highly referred and it did NOT disappoint. MY TEAM LOVED THIS RESTAURANT
