We had an absolutely incredible dinner at Blaine's tonight; easily one of the best dining…read moreexperiences we've had in Waco. We started with the pan-roasted romanesco, which was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. The bread service with compound butter was a standout on its own: simple, but done at such a high level that it set the tone for the entire meal. We grabbed seats at the bar, which ended up being a great move. The atmosphere was lively but relaxed, and we enjoyed several glasses from their excellent wine selection. Our bar tender was knowledgeable, welcoming, and she made the whole experience feel elevated without being pretentious. For entrees, my wife ordered the chicken and fries, crispy, juicy, and incredibly satisfying. I went with Blaine's burger, and I don't say this lightly: it's hands down one of the top three burgers of my life. Perfectly cooked, beautifully balanced, and unforgettable. Blaine's is doing something special. If you're in Waco and looking for a place that nails both food and experience, this is it. We'll be back soon.

Blaine's is a beautiful restaurant with a great atmosphere. The music provided by Tram Kelly and…read morePat McKee was outstanding and added significantly to the evening. Presentation of the dishes was attractive and thoughtful, and we were pleased with our wine selections. We started by sharing the poblano corn chowder. Unfortunately, the dominant impression was salt. The soup was more of a brown, creamy sauce with chicken and corn than the aromatic, herb-forward poblano chowder I was expecting. Beyond the saltiness, there wasn't much depth or complexity of flavor. For entrées, we ordered the steak and the ahi tuna tomahawk. Both were visually impressive, but once again the overwhelming characteristic was salt. The tuna may have had a hint of tarragon, but it was difficult to appreciate much else. The steak was exceedingly salty--surprisingly so, even for someone who is not shy about using salt. Service was courteous but somewhat inattentive and slower than expected. At this price point, I would have hoped for more attentive service and a broader range of flavors rather than repeated assaults on the sodium receptors. One final curiosity: water was served in what appeared to be small jelly jars, which felt a bit odd given the otherwise upscale presentation. Overall, Blaine's gets good marks for ambiance, presentation, wine, and especially the live music. Unfortunately, the kitchen's heavy-handed use of salt overshadowed much of the meal. With more restraint in seasoning and a bit more attention to service, this could be an exceptional dining experience.

Ordering is really simple, from a large paper menu just circle the item's you'd like, that's it, that simple. And there's a reason their Waco's oldest steakhouse, the food is really good. This trip, our group ordered a couple Lonestar steaks, which is a 7 ounce Akaushi sirloin, with ranch style beans and a baked potato, chicken fried steak and chicken tender meal with fries. The steak was soo juicky and full of soo much flavor. And both the chicken fried steak and chicken tenders were cooked perfectly as well. Our server was very friendly and attentive. They have some cool wall hangings that are cool to look at. Come on in if you haven't yet, I'll be back the next time I'm passing through Waco again.

And let's talk about the food: it was easily some of the best, if not THE best Mexican food I've had. I got the enchiladas and got my toddler the quesadillas. My toddler DEVOURED his food and part of mine! But here's the part that really makes Mexicano Grill stand out: the people. My toddler made a mess of one of his toys and when our server came by (as she did many times through our visit-our cups and chips were never empty) she offered to take it to the kitchen to clean it off. Then when we were done with our meal, another employee came by and offered to take his portable tray to the kitchen and washed it off! Exceptional service, delicious food, and the kindest people. We will definitely be back and will be bringing anyone who comes to Waco to visit us!
