Apparently the overpriced dry burgers don't include fries- the tasteless freezer potatoes cost an extra 3.5 literally 1$/oz bc no way I got more than 3 oz of broken and sad freezer AND FRYER burnt potatoes. The DJ-who kept leaving the booth to chat and drink with his friends at the bar- did not know what he was doing. Thinking you only need to match bpm to be a dj. TERRIBLE MIXES, slowing down songs so off pitch and mixing them with songs that shouldn't even be in the same room together. Oh- not to mention they don't validate parking for a parking garage with EUREKA PLASTERED all over it. Novus Place parking garage doesn't include Novus Place restaurants even though it clearly includes the restaurant name in the Novus place advertisements along the garage. They told us to go next door to the ice cream shop and they'll validate- so we took the advice and purchased a product next door only to find out they also did not validate. Over priced- confused staff- no care for customers- Very sad establishment . I left with a raging headache, a disappointed palette- feeling taken advantage of and just mad all around. Avoid this place so we can force them out and a more caring and deserving business can move in. Red Robin is just down the street. Tbh, chilis got it beat. Since you don't care about the guests here at all, please find your way out before a chapter 7 hits you too.

I genuinely cannot WAIT to come back to this place. From the second I walked in, the atmosphere…read morefelt so classy, elegant, and elevated without being pretentious. It's the kind of restaurant that makes getting dressed up feel exciting and worth it, and I absolutely loved that about the experience. It felt like such a perfect date night spot or place to celebrate something special. The servers were also extremely attentive the entire night. Everyone was friendly, professional, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling overbearing. The service honestly matched the upscale atmosphere perfectly and made the whole experience feel even more polished. And OMG... the food. SO SO SO SO SO GOOD. Like genuinely one of those meals where every single bite makes you pause for a second because it tastes that incredible. I got the chicken orzo along with the lime icebox cake for dessert, and both were absolutely amazingggg. The chicken orzo was phenomenal. The lemon flavor throughout the orzo was bright, fresh, and flavorful without being overpowering, and the tomatoes were the PERFECT addition because they balanced everything so well and added a little sweetness and freshness to the dish. But the chicken... wow. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside while still being super juicy and tender inside, which is honestly hard to do. Every component of the dish worked together perfectly. Magnificent is genuinely the best word for it. And the lime icebox cake was the perfect ending to the meal, refreshing, creamy, flavorful, and not too heavy after dinner. Honestly, I'm sitting here craving the food again just looking back at the pictures I took. This is definitely one of those restaurants that sticks in your mind long after you leave.

The restaurant itself is very cute and clearly designed for photos, which matches what I saw on their Instagram. Service overall was fantastic. The food, however, was just okay. I ordered the burrata and fig plate and was told they'd replace the bread with apple slices. I received five very small slices of apple, and when the plate was set down the waitress said she'd get more if needed. I later noticed I was charged $2 for an additional five slices, which together didn't even amount to half an apple. Ironically, the bread that comes with the dish would have been far more substantial. The burrata was fine, but nothing memorable. My friend ordered the chicken and brussels sprouts and didn't even finish it before having the plate taken away. The flourless almond cake was the star, a bit salty on its own, but with the ice cream and whipped cream it was a delightful combo which were the highlight. Overall, this is a great spot for cocktails, ambiance, and photos, but the food is fairly mediocre compared to the setting.

My boyfriend got the pizza and it tasted as if it were a frozen pizza. I got the bang bang shrimp and it was good (6/10). The problem that I have is the pistachio gin fizz was an absolute no! I am a HUGE fan of pistachio and gin so immediately I had to get his drink but it was beyond mediocre. Are we drinking only syrup??? My last complaint is the coconut tres leches dessert.... Do we actually know how to make tres leches or we just naming desserts however we want? Just curious. It came out super hot, steaming more like a molten cake. As a Hispanic woman, I was expecting a creamy moist cake to celebrate my graduation but this was not it as well. Last but not least if the bald manager with the orange shirt wants to eat in the back of the kitchen, not the problem I get it (I work at restaurants) HOWEVER shoving your two index fingers into your mouth to get your debris out was my last straw.

Narrow, arched hallways, colorfully-illuminated bricks, and loud music automatically set the mood and leave you ready to party. There's also a modest kitchen, and at the right time, a speakeasy. What I love: This was my first time trying a Spaghett. It sounds dumb, but enough aperol makes just about anything palatable. There's a pretty deep roster of beer/seltzer cans, too. The summer crowd was nice, and despite it being the off-season you still had brands doing promos and showing off new products. What I like: A small window in the back to order bar food. You won't regret the sliders! What needs work: It was early and not a particularly crowded day, but somehow the kitchen was out of quite a few items. When you step up to the bar, prepare to WAIT. Nevertheless, it's fun and worth checking out!

Blanco seemed like it would be a good choice, however I enjoyed it more than I anticipated. Sitting at the bar, service was pretty good. The bartenders were busy making drinks at times, but overall were attentive. The queso was delicious! We started with the appetizer sized serving and the chips were very good with a thick texture and good crunch. We saved some of the queso, intending to use it for dipping with the mixed grill fajitas we split. I will put that queso on anything, it's tasty! On the mixed grill fajitas platter, the carne asada was the item we enjoyed the least. The shrimp was definitely my favorite. Perfectly juicy and grilled, and had a great sauce over the top, it's labeled as spicy but I didn't find it to be too spicy, it just had a good flavor. The chicken was very juicy and then the steak was okay. I would definitely come back to try the short rib tacos, as other reviewers said were pretty tasty. Blanco reminded me of yummy Tex-Mex restaurants I've had in Texas, although its description is Sonoran Mexican food. Maybe it depends on the dish ordered. Either way, both are delicious food styles. And my rating reflected my overall enjoyment of the green chili queso, fresh chips & salsa, and juicy shrimp. I think the difference between 4-5 stars for me, comes down to having a nice ambiance, attentive service, and some items standing out. My cocktail was decent, however I wouldn't order that particular margarita again, I don't love mescal but I keep trying drinks that have it because I do like cocktails that have a note of the mescal flavor not the predominant taste. I did check with the bartenders before I ordered it and let them know, they said it's mild mescal taste, but I think it was pretty strong. We had missed happy hour by coming in 530pm, it ends at 5pm. I'd like to come back next time for HH. And thank goodness they are smart enough to provide free 2 hour parking in the Novus garage close by . That makes so much sense for customers. Some reviewers said the restaurant doesn't have any parking options besides valet. That isn't correct, just park at the appropriate garage and ask the staff for a validation ticket to scan when leaving.

Validated parking is available for up to 2 hours for customers dining @ Blanco. The service wasn't great. Our waitress sucked. The food I ordered was very good. I got machaca enchiladas! I heard from my husband and children that their food was mediocre & not something they'd want in the future. I will say that the rice was odd. For a Mexican cuisine, I never expect rice that tastes like it's seasoned with only butter and Parmesan. This was a bit awkward. Our chips came out & we noticed that the bowl was dirty. That was gross... there was a swipe of dried on beans or something similar stuck to the side of the dish I thought it was cool that they have a giant window into the kitchen, so guests can look inside while they wait for their food. I love their QR code payment feature! It made it really easy to split the bill for our party. I've never seen that before & hope more restaurants will implement that! All in all, it was a cool place to try out!
