My Visit:
I went to BLK Steak last week. I had a reservation at 9:30pm when they were less busy. I arrived about 10 min earlier to get a drink before sitting down. They took more than 45 minutes to seat me. It only two of us. I was very upset at this point because other people were sitting down.

The ambiance is beautiful and the bar is nice. Drinks are pretty expensive.

I was upset about the wait, but I decided to leave it aside.

For appetizer I ordered the tuna tartare. The tuna tartare appetizer was not very good as it seemed like it was scooped out and made into a square. This is not the place to have tuna tartare.

For entree #1 I went ahead and ordered the Japanese Kobe Strip which is about $26 per ounce. I had seen on the Food network that Japanese Kobe Steak is the best steak in the world so I decided to go with it. I ordered 6 ounces so the steak came out to $156. . For entree #2, my date ordered the Salmon which was around $37.

With the Japanese Kobe steak, they bring it out to see raw before taking it to the kitchen to cook. I approved the steak and they took it in for cooking. The dinner took veryyyy long to prepare. I was not happy about this. I would think after I complained about the seating wait they would take that into consideration.

When the Japanese Kobe Steak came out it was prepared perfectly. This was the best steak I had in my life. It was to die for. Of course, it was $10 per bite! :) Everyone has to try this steak once in their life.

The salmon wasn't so great. I don't suggest ordering anything else but steak at this restaurant. Most people were having steak. I took a chance and ordered tuna appetizer and salmon. This was a mistake.

Make sure to go on a night that you have patience for dealing with the waiting. Also, make sure to go when you have lots of money availible to spend.
