Restaurants near Tawa Park

My wife and I had dinner at Blanco before attending a Phoenix Suns game. The restaurant was very busy but all of the staff we encountered were friendly and accommodating. We were seated before our reservation time and our orders were taken and delivered promptly. Both of us had chicken burritos and they were delicious. This will be our new go-to spot for pre event dinners in downtown Phoenix.

It has been 15 years since I last dined and Lon’s. I used to eat there five to seven times per year and had such fond memories. I made these reservations whilst in Family Vacation and went with high expectation’s. It showed that my memory was accurate. The food was outstanding, the service was attentive without being distracting and the ambiance, outside in the patio, was sublime. It was my guests’ first experience and I set it up as a great time. They told me afterward that they had a hard time believing that it was as excellent as I touted. They actually remarked that it was even better than my description

Our server Miranda was great! My husband and I both had the holiday spiced pear old fashioned which was perfect. Our table of 3 had the pretzel bites - super yummy. Pretzels were soft and fresh and the fondue flavorful and creamy. Meatloaf, Prime rib french dip and Kobe burger, all delicious. Some people might say the service is a bit slow at times but I don’t like to be rushed through a dinner out so I liked the pace.

Absolutely perfect. My boyfriend and I are visiting from California and I wanted to bring him somewhere memorable for his birthday…this place made the cut!! We love the ambiance of the sultry atmosphere but even greater than that was the thoughtful and expertly orchestrated plates. Our server was so wonderful also. She was extremely knowledgeable and offered amazing suggestions. Couldn’t be happier! Highly recommend!!

Such a festive outdoor setting with wonderful food and drinks. We started with drinks at Sidecar and then moved over to the beer garden tables outside for dinner. It was great for our larger group of 7. We love the whole experience.
