    Met up with a group of new friends for a social hour at Blancos. Because we were a private party they had us seated in a private room in the back. Nice space to have a dinner party for about 20 if you wanted. Customer service was good, music on point and the aesthetics just made you want to kick back and spend all your money. I ordered the curry chicken salad and Hennessy Red for my cocktail. When I tell you they owe me nothing I mean it. That salad was AMAZING. I can't get back soon enough to order it again. All the components of the salad go well together. Spring mix topped with cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, sweet plantains and a curry chicken salad. It came with some type of apple cider vinegar dressing on the side that was chefs kiss. My henny red was so smooth. I mean they really knew what they were doing over there. Tens across the board, definitely recommend.

    Great experience while visiting from the Bay Area. Was only sad that we weren't there for dinner menu.

    Fried Catfish with fries and Candied Yams
    Simone L.

    Been here twice in the past week. The fried catfish is sooooo good. Nice and lightly battered. Both times we did carry-out but I want to go back for their brunch and/or happy hour. The only thing I didn't like was the buffalo shrimp, tasted like shrimp with buffalo sauce, too much sauce, overpowered the shrimp. The mac 'n cheese, fries and plantains were good too. The plantains were cooked well but I didn't taste any spice on them. Looks nice and chill on the inside of the restaurant, has a nice bar area too. I also tried the butter toffee cake, that was yummy.

    Bread Pudding Sundae
    Giliane L.

    I enjoyed the garlic mashed potatoes and the mixed greens . The steak and the snapper were good as well . There were other items I want to go back and try . Spacious place with 2 levels . They offer brunch as well. The banana pudding sundae was amazing . The server was very nice and the chef even came to the table to say a few words .

    Brownie--soooo good!

    Blanco's was quite a great time. I came in on a Friday night and it was bustling. The first thing I noticed was that the DJ was doing his thing--the music was amazing (though on the louder side so you may have to ask companions to repeat themselves). Also of note was the service. The waiter noticed that our table was rickety and placed a stopper beneath it, our drinks stayed filled, and, with each course coming out more slowly than we expected, communicated clearly about the delays. The food was mostly good. The salmon and pasta were presented well though it felt like they were less than the sum of their parts. Some creole seasoning would've made the pasta incredible. The tomato soup (soup of the day) was savory and hearty while the spinach salad was perfection. The ingredients complemented one another quite well and the dressing was heavenly. We didn't get a chance to try out their bread pudding (we'd heard great things) but the brownie was outstanding. I will most certainly come back! 8.5/10

    First, the food was delicious! 10/10. The service, impeccable! We had a lunch party of 10 and they accompanied us quite well. We had to play a bit of musical chairs but only so we could have some privacy and experience the intended vibe of the restaurant. It's new, so they have some bugs to work out but whatever we needed, they provided. The entire kitchen seemed to come to us when we needed something which was beautiful! We spent time getting to know the Chef (soooo so sweet) and that was much appreciated. He provided a summary of the intentions of the menu, and invited us to return once their alcohol license is approved. This spot will be a vibe, I can already tell. I can't wait to come back in a month or so and try their dinner menu.

    Amazing. Curry chicken spinach dip!

    A Must-Try Spot: Blanca's Kitchen and Kocktails From the moment we walked in, Blanca's Kitchen and Kocktails delivered an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, filled with great music, good energy, and a vibe that makes you want to stay a while. Let's talk about the food--absolutely incredible! Every dish was bursting with flavor and the portion sizes were more than generous (just how I like it). For our first visit, we tried the honey hot curry chicken wings, chicken curry with spinach dip, and a perfectly cooked catfish sandwich. Each bite was better than the last. On top of the amazing food, the customer service was genuine and top-notch. It's clear that this place cares about creating a great experience from start to finish. Long story short--we'll definitely be back. If you're looking for a spot to eat well, enjoy the atmosphere, and soak up some good vibes, Blanca's Kitchen and Kocktails is the place to be!

    snapper with collard greens and Gouda mashed potatoes
    Qadira W.

    First of all the playlist was amazing. It was a mix of R&B songs, but they were remixed with other genres. Everyone enjoyed their appetizers and entrées. The short rib Ramen needed a little bit of salt, but once a few granules of salt were sprinkled on it it was perfection. Three people ordered the rum punch, and they all wholeheartedly agreed that it was very, very, very strong. Our waitress was very good and accommodating. I didn't really like that I had to go all the way downstairs and the back of the building to use the bathroom, but it was very spacious and clean in there. Be warned, parking was horrific because it's street parking.‍

    Watermelon Margarita
    Nichele W.

    I was in Baltimore for the Brandy and Monica concert on a Sunday night and grabbed dinner before the show started. The watermelon margarita was delicious and fried catfish meal with Mac & cheese and broccoli were amazing. Large portions but great prices. The bartenders were friendly and efficient. The main level was almost full and the energy was vibrant.

    BOB- Nice small and intimate place. I sat at the bar and was greeted with a warm welcome by the bartender Yaz. She gave us her recommendations and we went off that. We ordered catfish, buffalo shrimp and mac&cheese. The fish and shrimp were great (I forgot to take a pic), but the mac didn't come out until we were well done with our food and we actually forgot about it. But they were fine with us sending it back. I'll be coming back for HH and to try the lamb chops.

    Honey lemon pepper wings
    Kevin P.

    First off, the service was absolutely amazing. I do not give that recommendation lightly. The owner came up to the table and greeted us, the music was popping almost as much as the food. The chef came to the table as well. I got the crab cake sandwich and the honey lemon pepper wings, bravo. Bravo. They finished it off with the bread pudding Sunday, oh my god. That was so delicious. If you're in Baltimore, give this place I try. Five stars easy. Everyone at our table was immensely satisfied.

    What an amazing place. The atmosphere is fantastic and the service was truly the best I've had in ages - none of it tops the food though. Their brunch menu is to die for (served until 3pm on weekends). I had the Krusty Krab - it was a Cajun themed crab cake (a marvelous crab cake) with a fried green tomato and eggs Benedict on top of an English muffin. Wow was this ever the best combo. Friends had Cajun lobster and grits - unique spin on shrimp and grits; I grabbed a bite and fell in love with that too. Def try the Krusty Krab eggs Benedict. I can't wait to go back for their dinner menu.

    Had a business lunch meeting with my grant writer mentor. The strawberry salad was a great appetizer size, would have preferred fresher shredded greens, but had nice flavor. The beyond burger was cooked well w caramelized onions, crispy onions and smoked cheddar/provolone. The bread pudding slightly overpriced at $13 but had nice flavor, not spectacular for the value. India bar staff made sweet ice tea & pineapple splash. Thomas was a good waiter, lil new but has much promise. Stop pass if in area try something different, urban and relaxing. They have an amazing downstairs space for events

The decor was sexy and very exclusive, felt like a speakeasy vibes as the decor transported you into another era. It was magical Service was good, our waitress was really helpful with recommending good drinks. This was a post dinner bar visit so we mainly had drinks and added a few treats: colossal shrimp cocktail and warm butter cake. The colossal shrimp cocktail contained some of the largest prawns that I've ever had. They were fresh and perfectly prepared but one was enjoy to fill you up. The warm butter cake was sinfully good! Warm, soft, and sweet. The drinks were AMAZING! I ordered the Recurrence Eternal which contained gin, pear, and champagne. There were other ingredients in there but I wanted to spotlight these few. This was the perfect drink which will creep up on you LOL but it was sooooooooooo good. My boyfriend enjoyed his whiskey drink as well. Overall, the music, ambiance, drinks, and small bites made this place perfect. Can't wait to return

I have never been splashed in the face during the shaking of a drink that was being made by the bartender. The bartender was of a different race and seemed annoyed by my presence from the jump. I had been splashed in the face twice until a customer of his race came and sat next to me. I did pay attention to his behavior while the woman was seated next to me and his drink mixing wasn't as aggressive. I had to go to the bathroom during my visit and told him I would pay before going to the bathroom so he wouldn't make any assumptions about me. I asked him to keep my drink behind the bar because the woman was still seated next to me. I came back and the woman eventually left. I was still finishing my drink and I was splashed 2 additional times. The last time I made him aware of what he was doing. His apology was disingenuous and passive aggressive. I left after this even though I had intentions on ordering desert and listening to the musicians that were about to get started. I did inform the manager about my experience prior to leaving. I'm leaving the review bc the experience still bothers me. If they have cameras at the bar I'm sure my reaction to the splashing can be observed.

The service from the bartenders was not so great or welcoming. When I asked about the espresso martini and asked for it without lavender, the bartender made way too big of a deal. The espresso martini is pre-made. I opted for a vodka soda and it was pretty hard to drink. The menu feels limited. They do not have pineapple, Red Bull, or many other popular mixes. Positively, prices are very good, especially compared to the other bars in the area.

There's a back area, sort of like a dinning room, with little booths for those wishing for some privacy. The red lights gives the bar that good old 1920s (prohibition) feel. I felt at any moment the authorities would swing through the door forcing us to hide our drinks. **Wild thoughts** Kyle made a cocktail he's "been working on" and he needs to put that shxt on the menu asap! So delicious. It was late night and I stayed here about an hour (closed the spot ha) and I was able to enjoy a mini impromptu concert by another patron Ebony, as Kyle was sweet enough to play some of her music. All in all, a perfect end to my evening. High recommendation for Rye. The End.

I went an hour early before everyone else was supposed to be there to get on the waitlist, but the wait was until 10 pm!! So I quickly switched gears and called Benny's because I've heard great things about them. The gentlemen who answered the phone was so kind, and was able to squeeze us in on the fly on a Saturday night, and they weren't slow. Got there super early because I was already in the area, and my wife and I decided to have an old fashioned and an espresso martini at the bar while we waited and they were excellent. The ambiance was upscale but still managed to be relaxed and comfortable. We had a lovely dinner, the waiter was busy but was still attentive and patient. Our whole experience was awesome, so we were already going back in the future. Yesterday I realized a mistake on my bank account from the bar charge, so I called around 6 pm and spoke to the same gentlemen as before. He got all my info and promised he'd call back in 5 minutes. I didn't really expect 5 minutes because I know how crazy the dinner rush would be at an Italian restaurant with a Wednesday wine special. Not even 3 minutes later he called back, and explained what happened, fixed it and I got a follow up text immediately letting us know the refund was already in process. Now, I've been in the service industry and I was a bartender, so I understand that I'm going to be a little biased here but from beginning to end Benny's went above and beyond. They clearly appreciate their customers and love their work, it shows.
