• Steakhouse • Kalamazoo

Black Rock Bar & Grill, an award winning steakhouse specializing in certified angus beef steaks served on a sizzling stone. Due to our high volume and traffic, we cannot hold tables for parties like a reservation system. We have a system called Priority Seating. This system secures a table within our restaurant, however, it does not guarantee an exact seat by time. Priority is placed on your party, and if we are on a wait, your party is placed on top of the wait list as a priority. We will seat you as fast as possible, but cannot guarantee an exact time. If the restaurant is not busy, we will seat the party upon arrival.

    Rustica has a unique menu, the food was excellent, and it was a wonderful dining experience. The wait staff are outstanding, as was our waitress -- Krista? Kristin? (not sure as I couldn't hear her well)!! She was very attentive throughout the evening. We have always had great wait staff when eating at Rustica.

    Everything about 600 Kitchen & Bar was excellent. Upon arriving the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food was outstanding! I had the grilled salmon and it was among the best I have ever had. Our waitperson Jake was excellent. He anticipated our needs! He was the best combination of attentive without hovering. He was warm and just the right amount of fun. We were meeting someone in person for the first time after spending a lot of time on Zoom and the atmosphere could not have been better. Thank you!
