I recently visited Anson 11 and had a nice overall experience. The service was excellent--very friendly, attentive, and professional. The restaurant has a charming French vibe that makes it a pleasant place to sit down and enjoy a meal. I ordered a rosé, but the pour was surprisingly small. It honestly felt more like a tasting portion than a standard glass, which was a little disappointing. For food, I tried the fromage raclette. It was good, but I'm not sure it was worth the $29 price tag. I finished it because I was hungry, but it didn't really stand out or feel like something special. I don't mind paying higher prices when a dish is amazing, but San Antonio really has no business charging that much for something that's just okay. It's not California or New York, and the cost of living here isn't the same, so the value just didn't quite add up. Overall, great service and a nice atmosphere, but the value for what I ordered didn't completely match the price. read more

Another great visit to a downtown eatery. We dropped in while we were waiting for Winterfest 2025 to kick off, and didn't wait too long for a seat. They did ask if we had a reservation - we didn't, but we lucked out. Isaac seated us and presented us to Alyssa. She got us our drinks and the kids waters. Now, I'd never say this place is kid friendly, but Alyssa was very kind to them. We ordered a couple of drinks and some appetizers to munch on before Winterfest. They make good drinks. I went with one of my faves, the cilantro and jalapenos margie, refreshing. Liz went with a guava margarita, sweet. The flatbreads were great. Not filling, and a good shareable. The kids split a a BLT. The calamari is also good. Next time I might think about the Peruvian salmon tiradito. It's a classy joint, it's on our go to list to impress folks, and it has never failed us on location, drinks or eats. It's a nice place to take that special someone. Recommend. read more

We were in town for some Chihuahuas baseball and this place is very close to the ballpark. It was graduation weekend so everything was packed.. we were able to get a table for lunch which was great. Service was good so no worries there. Tried a variety of things.. one person got a burger.. one got salad .. one got the chicken sandwich.. All were pretty good... the person who ordered the chicken sandwich asked for no cheese which was repeated back by the waitress so no doubt it was understood.. no cheese.. Well the sandwich arrived with cheese... why is that so hard to get right? French fries were good.. you can sit inside or outside.. clean inside.. sort of okay experience. read more

First time at Anson 11 and short story, great experience and food, definitely coming back. My wife picked the place to celebrate her mom's 93rd birthday. The atmosphere is warm and the staff are friendly. I had the meatloaf, and the ladies the steak frites; rare and medium rare. Both were done perfectly and my meatloaf was delicious. We had mentioned it was her birthday and they surprised her with a delicious dessert. Not some slice of cake; this had a sparkler and was a trifecta of blueberry mousse, chocolate mousse and a coconut mousse on a graham cracker crust. It was generous, unexpected and quite delicious. read more

Took forever to receive the order and came out after waiting 20min. I don't know why,

El Paso has really great places in and around the downtown area. One of our favorites is Anson 11. We have been to Anson 11 several times during our 6 month stay in El Paso and have enjoyed it every time. The staff, completely accommodating and professional and food was exceptional. Great indoor area but our favorite spot is their outdoor patio...enjoyed the view of the San Jacinto Plaza "Alligator Park" IYKYK. read more

On a recent trip to El Paso, we were staying in the hotel across the street and Anson 11 sounded like a good option for dinner. The location was very convenient and it appeared to be a little nicer. Overall, I really wasn't impressed. The food was pretty overpriced for what it was and the taste just wasn't great. I found my meatloaf to be super salty. Something that I found very interesting was that we were able to get a 9 PM reservation on a Saturday night but when we finally showed up, it was dead. We tried to get an earlier reservation, but I was under the assumption that they were super busy. However, upon arrival, the restaurant was super dead. read more

So funny, coincidence my next-door neighbor, who is several decades younger than happens to have the same birthday as me and this year it fell on Thanksgiving day, so of course nobody celebrates their birthday on Thanksgiving day right because it's all about turkey and family so we decided to do a girls night out and go to an 11 complete with tiara's And gorgeous dresses. We shared a calamari appetizer. Let me tell you the dipping sauce for it was amazing the red sauce, a little spicy, but kind of mild but has honey in it so it was so different and just so tasty the calamari was cooked to perfection. I had the gnocchi with chicken on top had to add a little protein in there you know and my neighbor, the shrimp mac & cheese it is a very grown-up version of mac & cheese and she loved it. They brought us a fabulous little square of birthday cake for each of us, beautifully plated with a sparkler in it so yeah, we actually got to have birthday cake. It was a fabulous evening. The waitress was very expensive, and the food was on point from our seats we could look directly out the front window across to where the winter festival was going on what a view so as we rolled out of our booth to go meet our Uber because the streets were closed off for the winter festival. We had to walk quite a bit to the Uber pick up point so There is no guilt anymore over the birthday cake because believe me we walked that off. What a great night. read more

I'm in El Paso for a few hours, and my Uber driver tells me Anson 11 is the spot, you better have a reservation or prepare to be humbled kinda place. Im stubborn so I pulled up with no reservation, ready to test my luck. Now, to be fair, I did have a backup plan; Ambar, right across the street. I told myself, If they turn me away, no biggie, I'll head to Ambar. Honestly? I probably should've just gone there. I landed a seat at the bar. The atmosphere was doing exactly what it needed to do: relaxed, upscale, and balanced. They had a baseball game on and music going, but somehow neither was overpowering. You could vibe to both depending on your mood; ESPN or old school hits. I started with a hibiscus margarita, and it was refreshing, floral, and honestly the best part of my meal. Then I ordered the steak frites, because when you're in unfamiliar territory, steak and fries is usually the safe, reliable best friend of dinner choices. Or so I thought. The plate came out, and my steak looked like it was trying to escape from a swimming pool of béarnaise sauce. I'm not talking a drizzle or even a generous pour. No, this was full on béarnaise soup with meat as garnish. I asked the bartender what was going on, and he explained that's just how they serve it. Yeah...Not for me. I asked very nicely if they could remake it without the sauce. The bartender was cool about it, no attitude, just handled it. But now I'm sitting there, hungry, for what's turning into a steak saga. 20 minutes the first time, another twenty the 2nd round. The new steak came out: no sauce... cooked medium just like I asked, and juicy. But someone forgot the seasoning. It tasted like someone grilled it in witness protection. No salt, no pepper just nothing. I didn't want to send it back again, so I doctored it up with some salt and pepper from the bar. The fries? First batch: amazing. Second batch: overcooked and sad. Probably because they were rushing to save the entree. I needed to follow my first instinct and head straight to Ambar's front door. read more

Caveat: this review is specific to UPSTAIRS dining, which has its own menu, ambiance and service. The downstairs bistro/bar is also lovely, but I would rate it 4 stars overall (4.5 on a good day!) Reservations recommended. It's great for a special occasion or date night. Intimate, romantic, probably best for parties smaller than 6. The space is easily accessible (it has its own elevator.) What to order: 1) If you enjoy fine dining, order a cocktail and enjoy the table-side bar cart service. They also have an extensive wine list. 2) the Brussels Sprouts Salad. Unassuming description on the menu, but it has a dedicated local following. I like to quietly order it for the table and then delight on everyone's face when they take a bite. 3) Whatever entree most appeals. The kitchen tends to do it all well. On my most recent visit, my date and I shared the short rib and the NY Strip. Service tends to be very attentive. You will not be rushed. You generally won't wait for anything (except possibly the bar cart.) We had a fantastic meal start to finish. If you aren't happy with something, raise it nicely and I think you'll see them try to resolve it. I think upstairs dining at Anson 11 is possibly the best value for upscale / fine dining in El Paso. read more

Atmosphere is nice and the customer service is there. The food however was was gross. I went with the pork belly tacos which were bland, dry and had more kale then pork belly. I would not recommend. Next was the crab cakes which was just as bland and mushy. My saving grace was the Caesar Salad with salmon. Or course the salmon was bland too but the dressing helped. Eat at your own risk. read more

I had a lovely dinner with my colleagues! We walked in on Friday night and we were able to be seated right away. Everyone was friendly and accommodating. The restaurant is beautiful and has good vibes. Lots of windows for people watching. I'm not sure about parking as we walked from a local hotel. Our waitress as attentive and the food was delicious. I had a Cesar salad and a crab cake. I would definitely visit this location again in the future. read more

For my 93rd birthday, my children took me to Anson 11 for dinner. I wanted to be surprised, and I did. I am French, and it is sometimes difficult to please me when it comes to restaurants. The ambiance is what I expected from a European cafe: great. The mussels were delicious, my steak was cooked exactly as I like, and the service was absolutely outstanding. From the waiter to the sommelier to the busboy, they were courteous, knowledgeable, and attentive. What happened next was a great bonus. They surprised me with a dessert plate topped with a sparkler. The plate was filled with three different desserts (one was chocolate mousse), fruits (raspberries and blueberries), and more. Around the plate was the inscription: Happy 93rd birthday. The wine was excellent. You do not go there if you are in a hurry; it is not a hit-and-run kind of place for dinner. Great view of the street and the right amount of lighting. I definitely recommend the place, and I will go back. A birthday I will remember...even at 93! read more

Had a great time at Anson 11 having dinner with friends. I ordered a ribeye well-done (I know, don't judge me) and it was perfectly cooked. I switch the steak fries for their truffle French friend and they were delicious!! The mango cantarito was a new twist to my favorite drink. read more

Anson 11's Upstairs dining was a lively night. The ambiance is elegant with traditional decor.. gives old school vibes. The menu offers steaks, seafood, and some fun table side preparations. The service was attentive and Everyone was very nice/accommodating which only enhanced the overall dining experience. While the prices are on the higher side, they are justified by the quality of food and service provided. Reservations are encouraged, and the suggested parking at the Mills Plaza Parking Garage is convenient. Overall, Anson 11 Upstairs is a great choice for those seeking a classic and upscale dining experience in El Paso. read more

Finally got to try this place after almost a decade sitting in my bookmarked folder! They have a casual bistro setting downstairs and then a fancier steakhouse vibe atop the building upon arriving via elevator. The menus are different, but literally everything I tasted on the downstairs menu was delectable. Note it is very difficult to get a table on an evening when there is a musical/play at the theater adjacent to the building. Book your table ahead of time online to ensure you aren't turned away upon arrival. It was my friend's birthday so they put a sparkler in their dessert. It was a nice surprise and we all loved the meal together. The service was very good! We had to park a little ways away, but it was worth it for this yummy meal. I had the catch of the day halibut and was speechless at how good it was. If you're the type of person who isn't sure if they should order fish so far from a body of water, do not fear! The fish here is on par with that of Seattle or San Francisco. read more

I've been to the bistro twice now while in town for work, and it's a lovely experience. The staff are helpful, anticipate the needs of the table and provide helpful information when ordering. The space is beautiful and relaxing; you know you are somewhere special yet it is somehow also comfortable. Also: take your purse so you can use the cute tableside purse rack. We enjoyed the melted cheese and calamari appetizers; they were seasoned perfectly. The meatloaf has a unique and delicious smoky tomato gravy, and is served on a bed of mashed potatoes, yum! read more

I wanted to love this place -- it's conveniently located in the heart of downtown El Paso, a short walking distance from the arts district, theaters, and more, and it's thoughtfully designed both inside and out. The dishes were well prepared, and the alfresco setting is lovely. Service had its ups and downs though. We received the wrong beer order twice, and our server vanished near mid-meal (we would've ordered dessert but had already waited a half-hour). That said, it may be more a problem of a "team approach" as a whole than with any one server, and we did enjoy the food. read more
