Restaurants near 3300 North Central Avenue

We love going to Alexi's for special occasions. They always have a special Valentine's Day menu which includes several options unlike some restaurants that have one special day option, Yesterday we started with a salad with the house dressing, followed by Tomato Florentine soup and then our entrees. I chose the Poached Salmon - Prepared in a lemon dill sauce and served with potatoes & vegetables, and my husband chose the Chicken Bolognese. Portions are plentiful which gave each of us the opportunity to enjoy our own entree but to sample each others entree. No dessert last night as we were too full but I highly recommend the Limoncello Mascarpone Cake which I have enjoyed in the past.

Incredible meal. Had tapas style veggies and ribs. Amazing!!!! Great drink selection and love the ambiance. Will be back!

This restaurant is a real gym! They have a beautiful patio with lots of flowers, umbrellas, and space heaters for the chilly nights. We ate indoors in the adobe main building because of the morning rain storm that passed through earlier. It reminded me of many of the buildings in New Mexico, where I’m from. The furnishings and artwork inside were gorgeous. We ordered off the brunch menu and found some very creative selections. The service was outstanding and we are planning to return in about three weeks. :-)

Bacanora lives up to the buzz——lively, yet intimate. Casual and effortlessly cool. Friendly, knowledgeable, efficient waitstaff. Super background music that keeps the energy up but doesn’t drown conversation. And the food! We ordered elote, calabaza, and mole-crusted ribs with frijoles and cilantro salad. More than enough for the two of us, but we made room for flan. All delicious and different. And the cocktails! We had an old-fashioned-type and a classic martini-type, both with Mexican spirits. It’s worth the effort to score a reservation.

General consensus from the party were outstanding. Appetizers were next level which included the bone marrow, bluefin tartare and the king crab stuff oysters. It really set the tone for the rest of the mains. Service was great from the staff and kept the tables clear and drinks full. The only exception to the meal was some of the mains. Over cooked and undercooked steaks that appeared to have been sitting for some time. Coming from a place where we have world class steak, the inconstancy we experienced was disappointing given the prices charged and what precluded this portion of the meal which many raves about. Overall pleasure and happy to recommend.
