Restaurants near Dolphin Park

My recent visit to Anson11 in El Paso was a mixed experience. I ordered the seafood medley linguine, which was generously portioned and included salmon, mussels, scallops, and shrimp in a creamy pesto sauce. My wife had the blackened Chilean sea bass, which was perfectly cooked and accompanied by fingerling potatoes and a shiitake brown butter broth, making it the highlight of the meal. However, the service left room for improvement. I had ordered Riesling but was served Pinot Grigio instead. While this was a small mistake, it detracted from the otherwise upscale experience. Despite this, the staff was courteous and the ambiance—especially the outdoor seating—added to the meal’s charm. Anson11 has potential, but attention to detail in service could elevate it further.

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at Cafe Central and it was wonderful. Food and wine were great, service was outstanding and they gave us a card and a special desert on the house for our anniversary. Overall, a great experience. The only drawback was that the live music (piano) was a bit too loud.

Diana is the best waitress and drinks are always on point.

This is one of the best restaurants I’ve been to, and I travel around the country frequently (definitely in my top 2). It’s my go to for clients, staff meetings, and on this particular occasion, a date. This was her first time here and the food, ambiance, and service did not disappoint. Our waitress was exceptional and very well versed on the varied dishes, appetizers, and their drinks, and offered some great choices for the main course. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for something different here in the area. 5 stars ⭐️ all the way.
