    We were seated shortly after arriving. The noise level on the first level was high but there was two group in celebratory overload. We ended up in the lower level away from the noise to nice contemporary RB music! The server informed us Happy Hour was about to end so we ordered drinks and appetizers ( big savings). HH is Tuesday-From from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm. My rum punch was great and the catfish tenders were delicious; not over breaded and nicely seasoned! My main entree was Turkey chops, Mac n cheese and mixed greens (collard & kale). The Turkey chops were tender, seasoned perfectly and with just enough gravy. Delicious ! The sides were good also. A little more drainage of the greens was needed but flavor was great. Mac n cheese had a good taste. My husband got the whole fried Snapper and he was very pleased. I tasted a piece which was seasoned well, crispy and flaky. We enjoyed our dinner. Our waiter Qu’i was attentive and courteous. It was a very nice Tuesday to have my Birthday dinner! Thank you Blanco’s—-we will be back!!
