The new location has more windows allowing in lots of natural light, but
other than that, most everything is the same including the menu -- right
down to the small shopping cart of fries.
only thing we can't do in this location is a happy hour. Other than
that everything is the same," Peralta said. Even without the happy hour, Blanc's
modern bar has "hot spot" written all over it. Peralta understands this
and wanted to stress that although the bar area is bigger in this
location, "we're a restaurant first but we would like to see people
coming in at nights and enjoying the bar."
Blanc is also hoping to grab some
midday action. Today marks the first day it is open for lunch (11 a.m. to 3 p.m.). And as the weather gets warmer, Blanc
will start putting patio tables outdoors (without the patio,
Peralta said the room fits around 70 people).
As I was taking pictures, the doors opened officially for dinner at 5
p.m. and within a minute, four groups were coming in. With the
hostesses still in the employee meeting, Peralta picked up the menus
and started seating guests. He was smiling and happy,
but as he came back over he started rubbing his eyes. "It's been a
hectic last three weeks finishing all the details but we're open now
and it's worth it. All worth it."

So, I discovered Blanc on the Plaza several months ago. Since then I would easily say we've driven down from Liberty at least every 10 days for me to have a Gluten free burger. Their burgers are easily the best I've had and the "Kneaded Specialties" gf buns just was the icing on the cake. Well today's experience was really saddening. The waitress today suggested a daily grind special which was supposed to be a smoked blue cheese burger. I of course ordered it on a gluten free bun. The burger arrived and looked tasty but after a couple bites I knew something was wrong. The kitchen made a mistake and put a Barley burger on a GF bun and sent it out to me. A person that is gluten intolerant...... When I called attention to something not right it was taken away immediately. A mgr was then at our table saying they had taken the burger off our bill....gee...I barely ate it. A companion complained that in the grand scheme that wasn't much compensation she then seemed miffed and came back with 60% off. I realize I take a risk every time I eat out but I was so saddened because of how I loved this place that I made a comment on their facebook page. I wasn't rude.... I said I loved them..... I just relayed my disappointment at the error. My post was removed without even a comment... This disappoints me even more......
Food is fantastic, wait staff is attentive, wonderful concept. Only problem- the air conditioning can't keep up with a weekend night crowd. Must have been 85 degrees in this place at 5:30 pm and just got hotter and hotter. I may wait until fall to go back because of that. It wasn't a one-time deal- our waitress mentioned it was always like that in the evening because of the west facing windows. The HVAC guy who designed their system needs to be strangled.
