Restaurants near Holiday Inn Market Center

We have decided to make The Mexican our go-to for our Christmas celebration with one of our best friends from now on. We started at the bar for a cocktail before we were seated in the beautiful main dining room. Our server, Josa (sp?) was friendly, knowledgeable and fun. He pointed out the customer favorites for all parts of the menu. We started with ceviche and queso fundido for our starters, and we had the trio of enchiladas, the ribeye steak, and tacos for the main. We wanted to share everything and Josa did the honors of separating the starters and the mains onto three dishes. As we were finishing our first course, a tequila sommelier came to our table who gave us a mini course on the correct way to taste tequila. Free, interesting, and fun! We finished with the Quatro Leche cake for dessert which was delicious. All in all, one of the best dining experiences for me in the last three years. It’s not cheap, however. All in, dinner and cocktails were north of $700 for the three of us. But, we said we’d definitely do it again. Thanks all for a memorable evening!

Delicious! Every morsel was spectacular! We started with a dozen oysters, followed by mouth watering ming crab and tuna carpaccio, chopped wedge salad and icy vodka martinis with hand stuffed blue cheese olives! We chose a rare bone in ribeye and a lobster for our entree and finished with a devils food cake slice and the famous “Elvis” dessert! April was our WAITSTAFF EXTRAORDINAIRE providing exquisite service and making this a Holiday celebration to remember!

This is an amazing place with a great menu selection. The only bad thing is the noise level is sooo loud. It’s hard to have a conversation unless you are within inches of someone.

We enjoyed our first trip to Al Biernat’s The wine and drinks were delicious. The salads were huge. I wish we would have split or maybe we should have asked how big they were. My husband had the Caesar which was perfect. Anchovies were fresh and delicious. I had the roasted pear salad. It was delicious. The dressing was perfect The entrees a filet and halibut were cooked perfectly Coconut cream pie delicious creamy. The bread basket had a great variety Overall I would give a 10 Thank you

Great ambiance with very tasty/unique drinks, appetizers, and meals. The professionals serving us made us feel very special.
