Black & Blue

Why we recommend Black & Blue in Vancouver

Black & Blue sits on the Vancouver dining map for a specific reason — Yaletown, Gastown or Coal Harbour dining — often Japanese-influenced — with harbor or mountain sightlines — and it comes up on our concierge calls often enough that it earned a proper page on the site. Outside of Las Vegas, MyRSVP does not hold restaurant inventory; this write-up is meant to give you enough context to reserve confidently with the restaurant directly, then pair the night with a nightclub or pool booking through us if the rest of the trip calls for it. Think of it as a curator’s recommendation rather than a reservation funnel.

What to expect in the room and on the menu

Black + Blue anchors downtown Alberni Street as Vancouver’s definitive steakhouse—250 seats across three levels of deliberate luxury operated by the Glowbal Group. The centerpiece is a Himalayan salt-walled aging room where Kobe-certified prime cuts hang in controlled precision; that architectural statement alone sets the tone for what follows. Ground floor pairs expansive leather seating and gleaming fixtures with a spirited oyster bar for quick pre-dinner bites. The third-floor rooftop terrace opens to city views and works best during temperate evenings. The wine program runs deep (over 400 selections), anchored by the house Black + Blue Martini—gin-forward, olive extract, citrus rind. Signature dishes justify the focus: Seafood Tower for two ($120) stacks raw oysters, clams, lobster, and crab with mignonette; the dry-aged ribeye (14 oz., $72) arrives streaked with fat and glossy. Steak au Poivre, lobster bisque, and Beef Stroganoff sustain the steakhouse canon. Executive lunches run weekdays from 11:30am; weekend timing shifts later (5pm on Saturday, Sunday). The room hums steadily—midweek deals, anniversary dinners, animated Sunday roasts. Sourcing favors regional: BC Dungeness crab, Ontario veal. Service carries the assured, high-volume efficiency expected of an established prestige anchor.

Reservations — how to book Black & Blue

We keep Black & Blue on our curated Vancouver dining list for guests asking what to do around a MyRSVP nightclub or pool-club booking. Restaurant reservations are direct with the venue; we don’t hold dining inventory here — that part of the concierge service is Las Vegas-only. Practical advice: book as early as you can, because flagship Vancouver rooms routinely close a month or more out on peak weekends, and ask about chef’s counter, bar dining, or private-dining allocations if the main reservation book looks tight. Those formats often stay open days after the dining room has gone fully booked.

Hours, dress, and planning windows

Here is the practical layer for Black & Blue — the details you need before booking. Hours of operation: Daily 11:30 AM – midnight. Dress code: Business casual attire encouraged. Reservations tighten around Canada Place cruise season, Vancouver International Film Festival; on those weekends, plan to book two to six weeks out depending on the seating type, and ask about chef’s counter, bar dining or private-dining allocations if the main reservation book reads fully booked.

How MyRSVP helps with the rest of your Vancouver trip

Booking Black & Blue for your Vancouver trip. The dinner reservation itself runs through the restaurant; MyRSVP’s concierge service in Vancouver specializes in nightclub and pool-club bookings rather than dining rooms. Dinner reservations are direct with Black & Blue. For the nightclub, pool day or beach club you’re planning around the meal, submit the MyRSVP form on the relevant venue page and a concierge assigned to that venue will be in touch with pricing, placement and the best area for your group.
