Gran Blanco service was good and the atmosphere was very nice. Other than the service, I got served eggplant and I took a bite and my whole mouth got burned. It’s day three and I am in still excruciating pain, and I have been trying to contact grand blanco of the last three days and no response nor do they pick up any of my phone calls. I was pretty tipsy at the restaurant so I thought it was a little burn and it would pass but I have came to the conclusion that I should have gotten a warning and it was either in the kitchen or the servers fault for not warning me about the plate and how hot it was. I have never had this problem before and I am pretty upset.

We came here for dinner. When we arrived, they seated us at a very, very low table (like to our knees) right next to the crowd at the bar. They didn’t have any other tables to switch to, and because of the noise and the fact that we wanted to eat real food, we considered leaving. We decided to stick it out and thankfully the food made up for it!!! We ordered the eggplant, the potatoes, the buffalo cauliflower, the olives, and the octopus. I would highly recommend ALL of them, except maybe the octopus. It was good and I liked the combination of flavors, but it was more large meaty chunks of octopus when I typically prefer more thin and crispy. Overall, the food was fantastic.

Big fan of the decor. Disco ball was random but fun. Loud. A mix of older people (40s+) and 20 somethings. And everyone in between. Got a mezcal margarita. Yummy. Messy tajin rim. I would come back.

Was able to book a table on a Wednesday via their site, Google page showed the restaurant to be open, however when my party arrived at the restaurant it was closed. Highly disappointing and misleading.Have better management of your web listings so people don’t waste their time.

Gran Blanco discriminates against and denies entrance to Black people on the basis of race.

Oh Nooooo!!! Had a Really Horrible Experience with the server Caroline tonight. She has a terrible attitude and it is obvious that she does not like her job much.She is rude and then forgot about one of our dishes and then said we couldn’t get anything else because “the kitchen was closed.”I asked the security guard for the manager however he “with the pleather jacket” never lead me to the manager. I rallied my friends to Gran Blanco and spent a lot of money for a terrible experience ?Not recommended.

Never go to a bar where the bouncer will prioritize their customers waiting on the line based on genders and tell your face “sorry, they were behind you but they are very hot girls. I make the rules in this bar.”

Came in for brunch on a Saturday afternoon and was seated immediately. The ambiance of this place is really nice inside and there is a small outdoor area. The service was great and quick and the food was good! Started with an iced latte that was made very well and tried the breakfast quesadilla and French toast. Overall had a great experience and would come back!

This is a good spot during the week or daytime don't go on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday night. Always a line, too small and crowded (unless standing on top of one another is enjoyable for you), saw one guy fall over a table...

This place is so cute and the food is delicious! My fiance and I got the buffalo cauliflower, eggplant with whipped feta, spicy rigatoni and rib eye steak. Everything had great flavor and was cooked perfectly. I was surprised because this is a touristy area so I thought the food would just be okay, but Gran Blanco definitely exceeded my expectations :)

It was okay, their drinks are fine, it’s just that I felt like I was being pressured into getting more and more which I did not really appreciate.
