Black & Blue Seafood Chophouse is slated to open within the next week or so at 65 Wall St., Huntington, 631-385-9255, where Off the Wall was. Chef Steven Del Lima, whose idea it was to change the name and concept of Off the Wall, said the refashioned dining spot will offer all-natural meat, poultry and seafood and feature grass-fed Argentine beef. There will be a designated menu for the main dining room, dominated by a 150-gallon saltwater fish tank. That tank will be visible from the restaurant’s lounge, which has its own menu listing such modern bar classics as sliders (mini Kobe beef burgers and lobster rolls) along with savory and sweet fondues. On April 8 at 8 p.m., the restaurant will stage a benefit for the American Cancer Society. There will be complimentary hors d’oeuvres and live music. The contribution, at the door, is $25 a person.
Aix-en-Provence, 134 New York Ave., Huntington, has updated its prix-fixe menu. At $45 a person, a three-course dinner includes a wine selection for each course. You might opt to pair a main course of hanger steak with a 2005 French merlot. For more information or reservations, call 631-549-3338.
In honor of its 31st anniversary, Canterbury Ales, 314 New York Ave., Huntington, 631-549-4404, is rolling back prices Monday to Thursday the week of April 7 and again April 14 to 17. At lunch, prices from the ’70s will prevail while dinner guests will pay what they would have during the ’80s. That means that a “Canterburger,” which goes for $9.99 these days, will cost $3.95 at lunch and $5.99 at dinner.
