The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Where Steak Meets Sea in Wellesley

Nestled at 65 Central Street in Wellesley, Massachusetts, black & blue Steak and Crab brings together inventive design, inspired cuisine, and a complete focus on gracious hospitality. The result is a dining room that feels at once sophisticated and genuinely welcoming — a place where every detail has been meticulously perfected for comfortable, relaxed dining.

The Craft Behind the Kitchen

At the helm is Executive Chef Michael Canavan, whose menu reads as a confident love letter to American steak and seafood. The signature steaks are a study in precision: black Angus beef, hand-cut to exacting house specifications, wet-aged for 21 to 28 days, seasoned with a proprietary house rub, and broiled to order in a 1,700-degree oven that delivers the kind of sizzling, buttery richness that's hard to forget. Cuts range from a classic 7 oz filet mignon to a commanding 20 oz bone-in cowboy ribeye, with Australian Wagyu MS5+ options available for those seeking something extraordinary.

Trust Our Fish™

Seafood is equally central to the identity of black & blue Steak and Crab. Under the house promise of Trust Our Fish™, all fish is freshly sourced and sustainably harvested — supplied through the restaurant's own family-owned fish house in Tampa, Florida. Standout dishes include pan-seared North Atlantic lump blue crab cake with avocado-lime aioli, butter-poached lobster bucatini in a creamy vodka sauce, caramelized jumbo sea scallops over cacio e pepe risotto, and the showstopping Grand Seafood Tower — a magnificent spread of Alaskan king crab, Maine lobster, lump blue crab, shrimp cocktail, and oysters on the half shell.

A Cellar Worth Celebrating

The beverage program matches the kitchen's ambition. black & blue Steak and Crab earned the prestigious Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2025, recognizing a thoughtfully curated list of award-winning wines alongside signature cocktails, specialty beers, and unique spirits — something to suit every palate and occasion.
