Restaurants near Cartwright Plaza Shopping Center

This is my favorite restaurant in downtown Phoenix. I have been coming since I covered it as a reporter years ago when it opened. I enjoyed my favorite dish—fish and chips—while looking out at the Phoenix Suns crowd I would be joining afterwards right across the street!

The best meal we have ever had in Arizona, perhaps anywhere EVER! We started with the Large Seafood Tower, We also had Filet Mignon with Chimichurri Sauce and side of mushrooms, the Filet was the best! Prepared perfectly, 2 in our party asked for medium rare and we shared a medium and WOW. On point. Twice stuffed Lobster Baked Potato was such a rich delicious add on. The service was the best I have ever experienced. We loved the beautiful ambiance and the quiet atmosphere to converse with friends. Im without words....11 out of 10!!

Wow! A well thought out menu and consistently executed deliciousness in each dish. All starters and mains had well balanced flavor and were cooked to perfection. We had a table of 6 with many of us ordering the same starters and mains, each plate was exactly the same from seasoning to presentation. Tasty cocktails where you can taste the ingredients not just the alcohol. To top it off, from the moment we walked in we were cared for in every interaction from the hostess to the servers. Thanks to the Henry team for a fantastic night!

Great appetizer, drinks and dinner last night. Very attentive server. Always a good experience at Blanco

Fantastic experience, it feels like the perfect hole in the wall but with wonderful food worthy of the James Beard award they earned. The sauce on the Ceviche was masterful, the flavors in every one of their salsas perfectly balanced. The LONE nitpick I could find was the $300 price tag on the steak dish, would have loved to try it, but I can’t see how spending $224 more than the chicken platter could possibly be worth the additional cost. Would love to see a second more reasonable steak option here.
