    Both the food and service were excellent. We brought some friends here for the first time and had a great time. They also commented on how great the food and service were this evening. Btw, the short rib machaca is a must try; very delicious! The margaritas were of good quality and enjoyable. The restaurant was energetic and made our dinner time fun. So far haven’t been disappointed in several visits to Blanco. Definitely will be back (soon)!

    Met some friends for dinner. We enjoyed a cocktail at the Bar before we were seated. The service was excellent. Once seated our server Evan was amazing. He was very knowledgeable of the menu and was attentive. The food was really great. I had the Shortrib with a side of Polenta. Absolutely delicious. They had an extensive Wine list with some of our favorite Italian wines. We're definitely returning and requesting him as our server.

    We had our First Date here and it was absolutely incredible. Staff was very attentive and did their absolute best to not interrupt conversations, or kept it to a minimum when required. I selected the Miso Salmon , and my date selected the Spicy Salmon Hand rolls. We were both very impressed with the presentation and flavor of the hand rolls. The Miso Salom was cooked beautifully to the Chefs recommendations and I would absolutely get it a second time. We shared a bottle of champagne to go with the meal and our server, Jake D. made sure that our glasses never went empty until the bottle did. Noise wise, it was what you might expect from a restraunt where each table is likely celebrating for one reason or another. That is to say it was a good level for normal conversations. No need to yell or shout, but at times I could hear the gradual rise in general volume. This was our experience when we sat outside in the patio area, I may recommend an indoor reservation if you would prefer a quieter setting.

    My wife and I were greeted by the hostess at the door who wished us a happy anniversary(our 48th). She seated us in a nice cozy booth near the back of the dining room, with plenty of romantic atmosphere. Our waitress, Abby, was very pleasant, attentive to our needs and came to check on our meal progress just the right number of times. in fact her timing was spot on. We thanked her for her service and attention to detail. Our appetizer, the bruschetta trio, was delivered quickly and was neatly prepared. Delicious sampler. We both ordered the Filet Mignon which was set red with roasted carrots, sautéed spinach, and smooth mashed potatoes covered in brown garlic sauce. It was comfort food, cooked to perfection with a satisfying compliment of favor. Overall, a great dining experience.

    Fantastic meal, service and vibe! Entire staff was friendly - not just our servers. No complaints about a single thing. Our main server, Jeffrey was very nice to chat with and he was so attentive, it seemed he was always at our table when we needed anything. Don't skip the guacamole or grits! We all had beef entrees which were cooked perfectly and couldn't have tasted any better. Our birthday dessert was a pumpkin bread pudding and it was so delicious I might even like bread pudding now!
