Restaurants near Townsend Park

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!

I (John's wife) went in, not sure about the menu. I decided to change up my usual drink and got the Devine Feminine. EXCELLENT choice!! Then for dinner, we shared the potatoes and artichokes, very good, and I had the fish. It was ocean trout, which I'd never heard of, and it's similar to salmon, Again, excellent choice! My husband got the duck breast and was very happy with it. For dessert, we shared the S'mores Cake, yummy!! The ambiance of the place was wonderful. Loved our evening there!

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!!

We enjoyed lunch at Palma on a Thu afternoon. Our meal started with the guac and chips and the Beef Birria Rangoons. After we had the shrimp tacos and Tsunami Maki, both looked great and tasted even better. The Vibe Check is a bourbon based drink that was light for a midday cocktail. Service was great and both agreed we would be returning in the future. Would like to check it out in the evening when it is fully lit up.

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