Blanca (Solana Beach)

So this is not a new visit, but since Mr. Manvite wants to know what I think of Blanca let me post quickly.

Jason Neroni: genius (though a testy one, according to news articles). LOVED his food. The chestnut agnolotti were little pillows of heaven.

Service: Ill-informed and inefficient. Slow. On top of this, they lecture you about the chef (after asking already if you know about him)...that's the most time they spend at your table. WOULD NOT GO AND EAT IN THAT DINING ROOM AGAIN. Naomi Wise had a better experience with her server (rvwd in Reader a few weeks ago).

Recommendation: Before he leaves town (and if other people are getting service like we did, how can they be successful?), HIGHTAIL IT OVER TO HAPPY HOUR. That way you can eat his delicious food and not have to deal with the servers - presumably the bartender will be too busy to lecture you, and you'll be in a prime position to get alcohol while you're waiting for food (my wine did not arrive until after my appetizer at a table).
