text: I have eaten at Blancos about times in the past year Generally the food is good and there are some dishes that are better than others The chopped salad is very good the Green chili Pork Enchiladas and very good the chips when warm are better than most and I have had several Tacos that are great I like the atmosphere and the duecor of the building It is a shame that J Alexanders closed next door as that take some energy and ambiance from Blancos My chief complaint is the seatingreservations system or lack thereof Generally there are about young ladies who stand around the hostess stand taking names seating people etc It seems that there are about too many There seems to be noone in charge and looks very hap hazard Two visits ago we called ahead to check the wait and they told us they could take our name and as we were minutes away it would only be about another minute wait once we got there When we got there it seemed our name was added then and we waited minutes We were made to feel that they were not honest with us We had dinner here over the weekend and had another issue with getting seated We arrived and there was only one couple seated in the wait area We put our name in and said first available We were told minutes There were several open tables both in and out We had requested not to sit at a tall table as we had someone who could not do that There were of us As we are sitting there and it is now going on minutes we see a couple being seated at an outside table for four Then another couple who was seated at a high table Both couple came in after we did When I questioned the hostess about this she told me that the couple seated outside had requested outside seating When I asked her why first available did not beat an outside request she said she was sorry but had seated them first She then found us a table to sit at I am not sure how long we would have waited and how many people would have been seated had I not spoken with her It was just a poor start to a meal and we had brought guests to experience the restaurant I have eaten at many other Fox concept restaurants and find them excellent experience Blanco is just not where it used to be and with all the other choices for restaurants in Scottsdale not the best choice anymore
