Blanko

My 1st year Anniversary was lovely. We had lunch, wonderful wine, great atmosphere and the food was 10/10. I appreciate the boutique atmosphere and the art is stylish and unique. We definitely would love to spend a night soon. The staff was professional and we enjoyed our Waiter, forgive me but i think his name Salvo? Keep up the good work.

I always frequent Blanko for romantic date nights and their food and service never fails to disappoint. The atmosphere is calm and soft. I enjoy the wine, seafood pasta, steak, chips and veg! Everything is so delicious and everyone is always so friendly and attentive. It’s also nice to have a drink outside or in the lounge area.

I definitely recommend this restaurant.

Thanks for treating us like gold we are very happy customers.

This place was absolutely amazing, waiter and waitress were great and friendly. The atmosphere, interior designs, music and books all round makes it very calming and therapeutic. Loved the food and wine. Our waiter even offered to make us pictures after people left and we were still there. We lost track of time but not once did a waiter come tell us that we were the only ones left. Throughly enjoyed my time there and they had something special for my birthday at the end of the dinner????

Best. Lemon. Tart. Ever.
Love the space and we received lovely service. Thoroughly enjoyed the chefs special which was fish with a vulgar wheat salad

The food was wonderful, well prepared, nicely presented and enjoyed. Good size portions and lots of options to choose from. My partner opted for a selection of starters instead of a main meal, which is always a good way to have more variety. The rest of us had a starter and main and we ordered one dessert to share. (Dark chocolate tart on a biscuit base with hazelnuts and vanilla yogurt ice-cream.)

The service was good but not extraordinary. We were in a side room which only had two tables full. When the other table left, it took a while for the waiter to come back between courses. Restaurants in general seem to miss training waitrons on how to be attentive and invisible, it is an art, but makes all the difference to the customer experience, especially for a fine dining experience.
Small things like providing wet wipes when serving a vongole or mussels - both companions used their hands with their meal, and we had to ask for wet wipes.
Also too many things on the table that obscured seeing the other members of the dinner party. Especially problematic with 2 older guests who need to lip read - a lamp and water bottles were in the way, whilst can be moved, greater thought can be given to placement in the first place. All things to learn from and would not preclude me going back.
