- LLisaToronto / Ontario •3 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoUpon arrival (in the light rain and wind) our initial experience was amazing, with valet service, a nicely covered and heated waiting area and entrance to dining was beautiful! We only waited minutes to be seated. Concerns were there.. knowing we had booked patio seating, however, we were seated very near an amazing fireplace, the ambiance was incredible, and we were acknowledged by our server immediately, with a wonderful note on our table wishing us an amazing anniversary! (Anni-Valentines) ! Our server Jenna Lee was kind, gracious, knowledgeable to the menu and most efficient! Our very picky friends who came with us (he has dementia) were blown away how patient she was in every part of our dining experience:) Especially with his lack of understanding the menu, she made it so simple! Our "suggested" appetizers and entrees were incredible, and the live plants were gorgeous! As we were leaving, a nearby table commented on how much fun we were having and wished up Happy Anniversary, as our server had mentioned to them we were celebrating on Valentines Day, and they commented what a great server she was! Another table saw my plate being served of the sea bass and wanted to know what it was! It was gorgeous!! Loved the added touch of runners (most professional) bringing our our meals:) Thank you again for making our special night even more special, we will be back, and share our experience with others! #17 years Lisa & Jeff Glendale AZMore infoBlanco Cocina + Cantina - Paradise ValleyPrice: Expensive• Mexican• Paradise Valley•4.7
