While in town for a quick business trip, I took the advice of our yelp marketing manager for San Antonio area and decided to visit this awesome place. Since I was dining alone I was looking for some really good food in an upscale yet comfortable environment. It hit the spot. I understand there is a fine dining upstairs but I opted for the bistro downstairs. I said at the bar and order a glass of wine and appetizer and a salad. The service from Alex was tremendous, a lot of attention to detail but not hovering. Very professional and friendly. The atmosphere is nice, comfortable, and cozy. The food was fresh and hot and evident that it was prepared to order. The prices are moderate but the quality exceptional. This is not a place to eat and run but a place to sit and dine with some quiet conversation and a good meal. read more

This is the first time we've come for a fine dining date night experience. It was Friday evening and the upper level for the royalty was pretty empty while the lower level for you peasants was pretty full. The atmosphere was quiet with nice salsa music playing in the background. I wish I had taken more pictures of the food but after the drink and appetizer I was too busy enjoying the company of my date to worry about my yelp review. We ordered the brussel salad for our starter. The roasted Brussels leaves were pulled apart to make a salad, with a tangy dressing, pomegranete seeds and peanuts. I would have preferred the peanuts to be chopped instead of whole. They brought out fresh sourdough and multigrain bread with truffle olive oil to dip. Love the bread, didn't care for the oil flavor. We tried the mint julup, a drink traditional of the Kentucky derby. A beautiful presentation with tall shaved ice and gold flakes on top. The second drink was a smoked sazerac which came out still smoking the flavor was sweet and Smoky with a slight burn from the bourbon. For our main course my husband tried the lobster risotto which is a large savory lobster tail served over a creamy poblano risotto with pheasant sausage. It was very well balanced in flavor and not too spicy . And I had the filet mignon with jumbo shrimp. The steak was melt in your mouth tender, cooked to a perfect medium rare plus. Best steak I've had in several years. Shrimp were well seasoned as well. For dessert we tried the squid ink vanilla panna cotta which was an incredible weird but fun experience. It's a creamy gelatin dyed black from squid ink with a black coconut ice cream blueberries blackberries and dark chocolate dusting. If you close your eyes it tastes vanilla, open them and your eyes fool your taste buds by seeing the dark colors. Very Fun thing to end a meal on. read more

Oh yes this is my favorite spot downtown. I prefer the downstairs. It gets a little busy Friday and Saturday nights but it's comfortable. The staff is great! Loved the ceaser! My goto for sure. Great environment! read more

I really liked this place! It's conveniently located downtown, off the square. The menu is varied, with a variety of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, and main dishes. My coworker decided upon the mussel appetizer with a side of the roasted Brussels sprouts. I ordered the side of Brussels sprouts and a side of the Gorgonzola mace and cheese. Our server was super friendly and brought us a warm loaf of French bread with balsamic vinegar and oil. The food came out pretty quickly and was way too much but quite good! Her mussels were in a heavy mustard sauce and topped with the Parmesan and truffle oil. The Brussels sprouts came with chunks of prosciutto and cheese. Everything was quite delicious and very reasonably priced. The restaurant is a little nicer but not too fancy. I liked this place and would definitely come back. read more

Anson 11: We've always wanted to try this place, but never really got around to it. Finally an opportunity arose. The fiancé or our local Yelp Community Manager was hosting a surprise birthday dinner for her and invited us along. We gladly accepted. Located downtown EPT in the Mills building. This is a very nice restaurant. They have the "bistro" located downstairs, and the "fine dinning" located upstairs. Now then, there isn't a posted dress code, but 98% or so of the patrons seem to have a kind of understanding as to how you should dress when dining at Anson. For example, I had on jeans and a polo shirt... And I felt terribly out of place. That was downstairs... I didn't go upstairs to the fine dining, but I can imagine it's not a jeans kind of place. Again, I wasn't treated any differently than anyone else, but about 98% of the persons there had suits or button up shirts or Blazers on etc. you don't have to dress up, but when you see the place, you'll want to I guess. It's a nice establishment. Our party had 13, and they accommodated us just fine. There was also a party of 15 behind us and a party of 10 in front of us. All of us had reservations so there wasn't any wait and the waitstaff did a great job handling all three large groups. The food was delicious. Menu was on the small side, but they had a little bit of everything. I ended up ordering the California Chicken sandwich with fries and the Mac and cheese. Both were excellent. My wife had the oven roasted chicken and enjoyed it as well. The table had all sorts of appetizers from crab cakes to fundido and even Frito pies! There is also a full service bar downstairs and quite the extensive drinks menu. This was a great experience and a great place to host the birthday dinner. And if you're ever in the edge about this place, sure listen to other reviews, but consider this: you're reading this review on Yelp... And we had a birthday dinner there for a person that works for Yelp. So while some people may have varying experiences based in different things, obviously this place is semi legit regardless of your standards of what's legit or not. We will for sure be back... But first, time to hr up Tommy Hilfiger for some button ups and some chinos... Don't wanna embarrass my always amazingly dressed wife next time we go lol. Das it Mayne. read more

I totally forgot to take pictures but whenever I go again I'll take some. I got the burger and it was top notch! The bacon is thick, the beef was just right, rich and full flavor! The bread was super good. I'm a super picky eater so I always get burgers everywhere I go. Id totally try more in the future though. read more

I have eaten here now three times and though I absolutely love the location especially once all the construction is done, the decor and just general atmosphere it is fantastic, exactly what a downtown needs butttt....the food at times can be lacking. It is simply not consistent. Today's lunch was good since I had the pork belly tacos but my co-worker had the "Drunken" something sandwich and when it arrived the juices from the meat had soaked through the bread and uneatable with hands since the bread was falling apart, the meat was just warm as were the fries. There was something in my appetizer and I sent it back with barely an apology. I expected at least for my appetizer to be comped, but it wasn't and there was no manager available. If I was rating on food it would be a 3.5 Attention of the wait staff as far as checking up on us 5 General Atmosphere 5 Drinks 5 (They have the best MOJITOS!) They validate parking for the parking garage right behind the restaurant. read more

Service was great, good old fashion, nice spot for conversation with upscale feel to the menu

I ate here twice, once was Father's Day a couple years ago and for lunch last year. Father's day menu was limited but the food was excellent and enjoyed the dessert. For the lunch visit I had the lamb in pita bread. It was a very thick slice of lamb, seasoned right and flavorful. It satisfied my bottomless stomach. The service was just a bit slow but the waiter apologized because they had an unusual large lunch crowd due to a conference nearby. It's metered parking. read more

Cocktails also impressive, ordered a delicious hibiscus margarita. read more

Food is good Service is good Wish they would bring back the short ribs they were great !

Food was delicious and service was on point, only complaint I have is the limited amount of choice on the menu, I went for brunch and they would not serve me any steaks bigger than the ones on their brunch time menu, I was told they have other days when they serve bigger steaks. read more

We were in town for my best friends' wedding and we decided to catch brunch at Anson. Best food decision we made that day! The decor is super cute, it feels like you are treating yourself. I had the chilaquiles which were massive but so so so delicious and the watermelon sangria. If I remember correctly you get 5 refills. I took all 5 because it was sooo sooo good and it was 100 degrees outside! The boyfriend had the mole and at first had a mimosa but after tasting the sangria, his refills were of the sangria too! Each of our meals including the drinks were $24! Such a good deal! Our server was also amazing. She constantly checked in on us and kept those refills coming. Would definitely come back to Anson in a heartbeat! read more

So we are staying at The Plaza Hotel and decided to go to Anson 11 for dinner on our last night . Hubby had the 'French Dip' abd I had the Salmon and Couscous. Both meals were fantastic. I have several health issues and have to be careful with what I eat. Our Server , Alex was amazing. Firstly he bought me a 'purse rack' so that my very expensive purse was not on the ground - that went a long way for me. Then he made my food issues , not an issue - he accommodated everything I needed. My Husband and I absolutely loved our meals....Sadly our 'to go' dessert was dreadful. We didn't look at it until we returned to our room. I ordered Creme Brulé, and Honey Panna Cotta. ( probably not spelt right, oh well.....) . They were both warm, the Panna Cotta was not much thicker than a sheet of paper and tasted terrible. The Creme Brulé, was a mess in the box- neither were eaten and went to the trash. We tipped the server very well because he did a great job but if we ever come back we will not get dessert ever again. Hence 4 stars. read more

As always, fabulous food and service. Menu variety a real treat. Reservations a must for the upstairs fine dining area. Pricy but well worth it. read more

Anson Eleven (A11) is a nice spot right in downtown El Paso, TX. It is near the art museum, the Plaza Theater (playhouse), and several clubs and nice hotels. Parking is right next door. Very safe and convenient location! The menu at the Bistro downstairs is somewhat eclectic, by which I mean whatever mood you're in or how much time you have, you won't be disappointed in your choices. Highly recommended by friends---and I saw why right away. Great service, great selections, and tasty foods. Can't miss! read more

Give yourself plenty of time because it takes a little longer for food to come out (at least for us) but it's worth it. We ordered crab cake and the A11 salad to start. We both said we'd go back for the salad alone. It was perfection with cranberries, nuts, avacado, and apples. We both ordered new items from the menu. The gnocchi and Steak and fries. The steak sauce was divine and my gnocchi also perfection. For dessert we had the panna cotta. Taste was just okay. I thought it wasn't creamy enough, but presentation was impressive. We'll be back! We ate downstairs at the Bistro. read more

Service was great and attentive. Food and cocktails were perfect. Steak was cooked perfectly. One of the better Ribeye's I've had and I'm very picky on steaks. It is pricey, but worth it. I would recommend this restaurant. Update: back in town and I like to patronize restaurants that I've had a good experience. This time the hostess was either overwhelmed or just unaccommodating. I ended up leaving and went to another restaurant. After being treated so rude, I will never return. read more

Delicious food with top notch service. I was able to enjoy a 4-course meal, including the Burrata salad, jumbo prawns and filet mignon. Beware though, everything is pricey with small portions. Don't come here on an empty stomach if you aren't willing the shell out the money. Everything was uniquely plated and made for a nice presentation. I was able to enjoy my dinner upstairs and the decorations also made this place feel upscale. Great food with expensive prices. read more

Very nice place with great food for a reasonable price. Went twice in one week with a group (we were traveling).

This was my third visit to Anson11; second time downstairs (Bistro). Benny was our server and he was excellent. He was helpful, supportive and energetic without being obtrusive. The meal was probably the best we've had there. I can count on one hand how many times I've tipped more than 20% and I'm adding this to the count. It was a Fantastic experience! read more

Everything was outstanding. Except for the price of cocktails. $20 for a gin and tonic? Hmmm. I don't even know what to say to recover from that atrocity ... other than everything else was solid. Just don't order a mixed drink. I think there was a charge for "mixed drink" in addition to the drink. Seriously. Weird. read more

It's been a few years since I last went here, but I really liked their food. Great steaks and nice atmosphere. I will have to give them another try soon! Edit: Went back recently and it's fallen off a bit. I'm particular: everyone I went with hated the desserts we had. Mains were good but not great. read more

What an amazing restaurant in downtown El Paso! I've been traveling down here at least once a month for work and try to get downtown at least once while here for a nice dinner. Anson 11 is a hands down 'must stop' while in the area. The service and ambiance were top notch as well. I came on a Thursday evening with 5 colleagues and we were able to get seated immediately at a table next to a window. The server was prompt and attentive without being too persistent. We opted to forgo the appetizers and instead immediately ordered our dinner although I would definitely order an appetizer next time as they all looked amazing. I ended up settling on the A11 Meatloaf sitting atop a bed of mashed potatoes. Hands down some of the best meatloaf I've ever had. In between the meatloaf at the mashed potatoes was a layer of crispy bacon which pushed this over the top for me. We were all stuffed and decided against dessert as well so those reviews will have to wait until next time. The only issue I had was that the bourbon menu needed updating. The menu itself was the most high tech menu I'd ever seen (2 large screens that either had a backlight or it was an actual tablet). The three bourbons we were interested in were all out - Weller 12 year, EHT Small Batch, and Elmer T Lee. read more

If you like crab cakes, I would suggest to pass on these. They are not lump crab even though the server said they were. They have many better options on the menu. Definitely try the pasta if you're a pasta lover. read more

Finally got to come to this place! It was a special date night! We had reservations for the upstairs area which is fancier than the first floor. It was a good thing too because when we walked in the first floor it felt like the temp was around 50°! I would have been miserable if I had to eat in that environment. Anyways, so we are led to our table upstairs and it's set for a full course meal. We opted out for the full course chef special since there is a lot that I do not eat. We chose a lobster appetizer, I chose the Seafood Melange and my date chose the King Salmon. Fresh bread and butter was brought out, warm and crusty and super yummy. The appetizer was plated very interestingly, I don't think I took a picture of it. They poured some kind of sauce over the lobster tails after setting it on the table. I guess it must have been an acquired taste, but I didn't really care for it much. The main course and out (picture to follow). My dish had shrimp, lobster, octopus, scallop and halibut. Each one was cooked in a way that provided a party of flavors in my mouth! I can't even use words to describe the scrumptiousness of the food, omg. We got the Chocolate mousse dessert and it was equally as delicious! This restaurant really is a nice choice if you wanna take your special person on a nice date. The menu is pricey, but well worth it. My glass was never empty and the service was excellent! read more

Anson11 is the BEST place to hold your special event in El Paso, Texas. We had our daughter's bridal shower in the Garden Room beautiful and elegant! Susie Quintana, Events Manager had everything in order from the set up of the room, food, beverages and service. George was our server for the event he was outstanding. I would give everyone at Anson11 10 stars if I could! Thank you for a memorable special day! Highly recommend to everyone! read more

BRUNCH!! Hands down the best French Toast I've ever had..that's saying a lot because I seek out FT. It was so good I ordered it two days in a row. The homemade bacon is delicious as well. A single order is five pieces some crispy others cooked to perfection, I ate them all. I splurged and ordered breakfast potatoes which were crispy on the outside and buttery smoothness on the inside. They come with caramelized onions, heavenly. Lastly, the Bloody Mary was yummy. I ordered it Spicy, he didn't disappoint. I highly recommend this place. Acquaintances ordered the Anson Salad and Burrata Salad; both cleaned their plates read more

I loved this gem that sits on the skirt of a pretty park. I sat in their Bistro level, hear the fine dining is pretty stellar too. Service was great. Sat at a table and not at the bar. Analise was fantastic. She recommended the gnocchi and it really was amazing. Full flavoured and satisfying. She recommended a wine which paired beautifully with it. Skipped dessert as was too full, excuse to go back. read more

Unfortunately, their fine dining section is not open on Sunday, so my husband and I had his birthday dinner at the bistro section. Sunday evening is not busy at all, but they tried to seat everyone in the same area, so it got kind of loud just by overhearing other tables talking, which is a little annoying. My husband and I shared a house salad to start with, and they split the plate for us without us asking. For the entree, my husband had the braised short rib, and I had the catch of the day. The braised short rid tasted just what I had imagined when reading the menu. The short rib is boneless, and had similar width and length. Because it was braised for a long time, when you try to cut it, it became "pulled beef" easily. I would suggest the chef to consider cutting it to 3/4 to 1 inch in width perpendicular to the tissue direction for better eating experience. The catch of the day was very impressive. The fish was cooked to perfection, which is not very common. Many places over cook their fish, which waste the good fish. The fish itself wasn't very flavorful, but the flavor from the side items came with it matched the fish very well. We ended with a chai cream brûlée by luck, because our waiter gave us the fine dinning dessert menu by mistake. The crispy caramel layer on top of the cream brûlée was the highlight of the dish. It was spiced, flavored, and textured exactly right. read more

Tried again to see if we had a better experience but was the same. Food is good. Overpriced. Slow service. Nice setting.

Not baby friendly! It is disappointing that a "high end" restaurant does not have a changing table in the bathroom.

Delicious food, excellent service, and great atmosphere. Went to celebrate my son's grandmother's 85th birthday. During dinner, the manager came by to check on how we're doing and finds out we're celebrating a birthday. As we continued with dinner, a hibiscus margarita (the birthday girl's favorite) arrives then, birthday cake with a sparkly candle. Seeing her expression was priceless! Later, the chef came to our table (with the manager) to check on our meal and to congratulate her for her birthday. The attention that she received from the restaurant made her feel even more special and we are grateful for that. It was so unexpected and touching. Thank you! read more

Visiting from San Antonio and finally got in this trip and wasn't impressed. The Ambiance was very nice the waiter was just OK but the busboy did a great job. The salad was the best part of the meal. Steak was needed seasoning. Saltgrass has a better steak. The wife's pasta dish was filled with seafood but the pasta had no flavor. Some of the seafood was overcooked . Scratched tis place off our list. BTW the food downstairs was a little better than the fine dining. read more

Let me start by saying the interior of this place is gorgeous. Seriously, it is beautiful. That being said, their cocktail list is a complete and utter joke. If I'm going to be paying $11-15 a cocktail, you had damn well better not be serving me absolut vanilla in anything! I ordered an old fashioned (old fashion on their menu lol) and what I got was a double rocks glass filled with shitty ice, and a drink that was bright orange. It looked like orange Fanta, and didn't taste much better. My girlfriend had some type of mule that was so flat and tasteless we sent it back. The remake was a bit better, but not for the price. We were so disappointed in the drinks we just decided to go somewhere else. It's a shame, this place is gorgeous, but the bar needs a complete overhaul. If you're downtown and want a great cocktail, check out Tabla up the street. read more
