This is a "white glove" style restaurant. You can certainly imagine the golf pros dining here as it has a very unique, rustic appearance. I was here with a colleague and customer for a business dinner. Most everything on the menu is a la carte. I started off with a caesar salad with extra anchovies. My guest had the beet salad and the iceberg salad. We ordered mushroom as well as blue cheese creamed spinach as sides. For the main course, my customer and I ordered the seasonal catch which was Amberjack with crab. My colleague ordered the bone-in ribeye. We finished off by sharing a chocolate cake. That and 2 bottles of Malbec later, it was a great business dinner. It was a bit pricey, though. But you could also say it's worth it. read more

We went here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Despite being told, the staff didn't really do anything special to acknowledge the celebration... not even offer a comp dessert. Our starter (crab cakes) took an unbelievable long time to come put... and the staff acknowledged it and took it off our bill. One star for the cakes being delicous. Our steaks took forever to come out and were very salty! We both had the filet mignon. We sat outside and it felt like we were forgotten most of the night....out of sight out of mind? We had to remind people for water, etc. We ended up waiting for our bill at the bar because their resident skunk was near our table. One star for the complimentary sourdough bread that comes with pickles and jerky. Overall, gravely disappointed in this place. read more

N went here for the tomahawk steak they advertise and they did not have it but the crabcake and lobster was good. Nice elegant atmosphere

Where do we begin? We had amazing service. Great wine and delicious food. We loved the bacon appetizer the best. The Mac and cheese was plain. Not sure why their cheese sauce is not the best. The steak is delicious and perfectly cooked. We will be back!! read more

Not worth the cover- they just don't have the staff to make it work right now. First impression was not good as the area under our table was very dirty (crumbs) and our table was surrounded by numerous dirty tables waiting to be cleared. We saw someone walking around throughly sanitizing tables and chairs after each guest but still not a good look. Once we got into the food, the Iceberg Salad and French Onion soup starters were fresh and tasty. My Filet "medium" was unfortunately a total bust. First offer was rare to medium rare. I sent it back and it returned with a glob of new butter on top and medium rare. read more

Perfectly cooked steaks. Delicious appetizers! And an amazing atmosphere. The service was incredible too. We live down the road and this will be our regular spot from now on. Easy parking and entrance for being inside a hotel. read more

Great dinner. Actually went there 2 nights in a row. Steak is great, and the chicken was super flavorful. Lots of great gluten free options. My wife has celiac disease and the staff was very knowledgeable about cross contamination. We will definitely be returning soon. read more

My wife and ate the twice while on a business trip. Fantastic steaks! All of the food wine and cocktails were very good. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The table spacing felt very wide open. read more

My girlfriend and I celebrated our anniversary dinner at 18 Oaks tonight and had a wonderful experience. As a gay couple, we never know how we'll be treated when we're at fancy restaurants (especially in Texas), and we both felt comfortable and taken care of. The food was fantastic (highly recommend both the salmon and scallops), and our server Josh went above and beyond to make sure we had a great meal, even getting the kitchen to make us a special dessert that matched both of our tastes. read more

We had the best experience at 18 Oaks while celebrating a birthday! The crab cakes were recommended by our awesome server, and they were DELICIOUS! The salmon and broccolini were cooked perfectly, and paired great with our potato purée and sweet corn sides. We ordered the chocolate truffle for dessert--it came out so beautiful, and was comped. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a nice steakhouse experience for any special occasion! read more

I wish I could leave a better review. Maybe it was that we were dining at the same time as a conference but felt the room to be more like a sports bar feeling than a steakhouse. I ordered a beet salad and loved the beets but felt the balsamic reduction was beyond tart. The porterhouse was the strangest cut of meat I have ever seen... Particularly for a fine steakhouse. I couldn't quite tell what it was but did have a bone in the center. The waitress was super sweet and found her to be the friendliest part of the experience. The noise and the food being just ok... Won't be back. read more

Top notch food, drinks, and service, all set in the beautiful JW Marriott TPC golf area!

We went to the Sunday Brunch buffet and it was Soooo Delicious! Everything was fresh, tasteful and delicious! The servers kept coming out with fresh food. The staff was very nice and our waitress was Superb! The champagne was Amazing! I highly recommend the Sunday Brunch here. We definitely have a new favorite spot! read more

We went with a big group and the waitstaff was so amazing. Even though more people kept showing up they were so gracious. Try the sirloin with blue cheese and loaded baked potato that must have been 2 pounds. Started off with the cheese and meat tray and that was very good. Wine menu is to die for, ask them to sample a few unless you are an expert. They are so helpful. This was a step below steak 44 but the service was fantastic. read more

The food and service were top shelf! The room way cozy but private. Loved it! I'm including them in my regular dining budget! They pour a great Manhattan and my steak was fantastic! read more

After covid everything change to one of our favorite restaurants starting with service. Both in the bar and restaurant the service was just plain awful. The steaks were still good but everything else was boring and flavorless. Bring back the chefs who care about flavors. read more

The food was very good, we had great service sitting at the bar. Great atmosphere. My only complaint is that everything we ordered was SWIMMING in butter. I know it tastes great, but I think it was unnecessary on my shrimp cocktail. The sweet potato side was also served in a bath of melted butter. read more

So, first thing is first, the food here is incredible. A ton of attention to detail and excellent pairings. What made this an amazing culinary experience was our server, Joshua. This was our first time at the resort and we will absolutely be back to 18 Oaks. Joshua made some excellent recommendations, was extremely friendly, and made sure we had a great time. We are already planning a return trip! The filet and 1/2 lobster were to die for. Highly recommended! read more

Continuing on our weekend of consumption at 18 Oaks at the JW Marriott! Service was excellent! Shout out to our server Jacob! Sunday evening wasn't crazy busy (nice flow though for 6:45 reservation) in the restaurant like it was in the rest of the resort so it was nice to escape the crowds of kids. Totally plan to return! Not pictured but noteworthy was the corn and red pepper chowder! SO good poured over lump crab! I could have eaten just that and been totally satisfied! read more

Started off our night with delicious drinks... we had for starters the charcuterie board, bacon, and seafood sampler. The oysters were tiny, but it was still good. Husband had the bone in Rib eye medium rare and was seasoned/cooked PERFECTLY! I had the 8oz Wagyu filet and it was so tender and perfect EXCELLANT JOB! For our sides we had the creamed corn(omg I could eat that forever), goat cheese au gratin (to die for), mac and cheese and gruyere cauliflower... topping everything off we had the rice pudding and chocolate cake which weren't fantastic but still delicious. The wait staff was so attentive and nice... 5 stars!! read more

18 Oaks - Bone in ribeye, 8oz Wagyu filet, cream corn, mac and cheese, gruyere cauliflower!!! - Steakhouses Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

The food was phenomenal, the only thing that was disappointing. was that the hostess didn't greet us or acknowledge that on the reservation we were celebrating our 1 year marriage anniversary, even though I called a week ahead and wrote it on the reservation. The server did not acknowledge us throughout our dinner , only when the check came. Sad but true. Definitely would recommend the food but not for the service. read more

always waited passed appointment time very disappointed with everything still haven't received a return call they promised disgusting!

Menu, good, service. Everything you could ask for in a fine dining restaurant. I highly recommend.

Outstanding service, great food with jazz music playing lightly in the background. It doesn't get any better!

Ate here while staying at the resort. Great food and atmosphere. The main dishes are just the meat and garnish, no sides come with a main dish. The sides are family style. I had the chicken which had two good sized chicken legs on top a bed of mashed potatoes. My husband had the scallops which came with simply four scallops nothing else. They were amazing. I am giving four stars due to the cost of the scallops and not having a side that is included with the dish. It was $42 for just 4 scallops. Definitely worth trying while staying at the resort though. Fantastic serve and great food. read more

Oh my gosh. We ate here for the first time and it was by far one of the best meals we have had in San Antonio! The red snapper was absolutely amazing! Probably The best snapper I've had in Texas! Can't wait to go back!!!! Just incredible read more

I really wanted to give this place five stars, but just could not. Our server was super friendly (no complaints), but the service at 18 Oaks is not "steak house service". He barely came to the table to check on us. My husbands glass of wine was empty and the waiter never offered him another glass. Same with my water. I was having to ask the wait staff for things, when they should know... like empty glasses, no plates for shared appetizers, and no silverware. Considering how much the bill was, these things should come naturally at a five star restaurant. Food was good, but nothing I would go back for. Maybe if the service was more attentive I would have rated the restaurant higher. read more

4.7 STARS! Best steak ribeye thus far. We walked in on a Sunday for dinner and were seated right away. There was only two other tables being serviced so I knew we'd get the attention and service expected from a five dollar sign restaurant. The host asked if we were celebrating a special occasion. We were so I joked about 'free drinks' and he replied with "Im sure we can work something out." The water was nasty. It tasted like tap but they served it from a branded bottle. I dont believe it. It was tap...moving on. The first waiter who came out to take our drink order was very young and not so friendly. I tried to joke around with him but he wasnt interested in conversing. Our actual waiter came out to speak about the menu. He was very nice. He took our drink order which included two tequila shots, jack and coke and black and blue berry mojito. The shots came out quick, chilled and where huge. A half glass full of tequila was a nice start. The jack and coke took a long time to come out but was spot on in taste for a first round. That mojito was really good too and so original. The waiter brought out a plate of complimentary homemade beef jerkey and garden grown pickels. This was all very nice in original flavor and freshness. They have an actual garden at their location. We started with their Cesar salad which was crispand moist. The dressing was just enough in quantity. We then ordered a ribeye sided with carrots and a small filet with a loaded baked potato. The food came out within 15 minutes hot. Both steaks had a garlic butter melted on top. This was a great way to keep the steak moist and a way to fill it with flavor with each slice. Its kind of cheating but I made sure to focus on the tenderness and texture. The ribeye was a large cut and was very very tender. The flavor was spot on with a quality ribeye. Lightly seasoned with salt and pepper minus that garlic butter so it wasnt over worked in the kitchen. The filet was similar in tenderness and seasonings. The ribeye steak was five stars and topped Ruth's Chris ribeye in overall flavor, cut, cost and size and trumped Bob's steak house by just a hair. The carrots are one of a kind! Pulled straight from their garden they leave the roots attached which is so cool. The bite packs a rich earthy taste that you only get from super fresh veggies and this was it! By far the best carrots I've ever had so dont believe the hype on Bob's steak house carrot. Ive had both and garden pulled wins! The potato was like it should be; large and loaded. It was soft all the way through. Dessert sucked. The brownie was bland, small and texture was rough. The ice cream was cheap yogurt. Where's the blue bell man! Total meal with two free tequila shots= $248.33 Overall the steak was the best I've had so I'll have to say...enjoy! Ate here again on Valentines and went with their Valentine special. Each coarse came with a special glass of wine catered to each type of food. It was a whole lot of fun and by the final seven coarse meal I was wasted and good thing because the meal cost $545 for me and my wife and that was hard to swallow. read more

Decided to grab dinner at 18 Oaks at the JW Marriott in San Antonio. Long story short.. It wasn't anything to write home about. Mike the bartender was friendly and suggested a local beer: Weekend Warrior Pale Ale from Karbach Brewing Co. This beer was the high point. It was absolutely delicious! It was also the last time I had any interaction with him. I ordered the beef filet and a side of risotto for dinner.. Cuz when in Texas, ya gotta eat beef. The steak came out Rare (med rare was ordered), and was topped with compound butter. Texture and taste of the steak was good. The risotto was ok at best. It was not very cheesy, and it was too milky. Over all, I would say.. Service was like a tomahawk missile - fire & forget. The food was so-so.. Although the guy next to me asked me to try his short ribs, and they were delightfully tender & flavorful. It's not a bad place for dinner, it just didn't exceed my expectations. read more

Wow all I say it's one of the best steaks I've ever had. Let me tell you I've had many great steaks from places like Mastros, to Peter Lugers, to WYNN's SW, to Dan Tana, as well as all my other regulars I go to such as Mortons, Ruth Chris, Flemmings etc....and let me tell you 18 OAKS HAS THE BEST WAGU NY I've ever had. The restaurant is at the JW Marriott San Antonio over looking their world class TPC golf course. The menu is simple great steaks, seafood, and great selection of fine wines and booze. I had the oysters, 10 oz WAGU, and the best fries fried in duck oil!!!!! The sides are amazing..,this is a GOT TO GO PLACE IF YOU ARE IN SAN ANTONIO read more

My coworker and I had dinner here while in town for an event. The food and service were awesome. They had a nice wine list and I started with a sauvignon blanc from New Zealand. We started with the Chilled Crab & Avocado. We got a good sized portion of crab. It was very fresh tasting. Loved the sauce on it and you can't got wrong with avocado. For my entrée, I had the 8oz Filet Mignon. It was nicely cooked to medium, a light pink inside like I like it. Nice flavor on the outside. Tender, easy to cut. We had the Truffle Cream Corn and Duck-Fat French Fries for sides. Both were yummy. Loved the fries. For dessert, Warm Centered Chocolate Cake with Strawberry Sauce, Almond Tuile, and Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. Definitely a great special occasion restaurant. Nice view of the golf course out the windows. Good food and service. Definitely will be back when the company dime is paying for it. read more

Had a wonderful evening with my wife. We both wanted a nice getaway- kid free-- and this place did not disappoint. The food was great, but the service was even better. Our server Sasha was so attentive and knowledgeable. She helped us pair our courses perfectly with different wines and made the evening very special for us. Highly recommend this place if you want five star service and of course the quality of food is worth every penny. We will definitely be coming back for our upcoming anniversary. read more

A really great place! To find a flaw in my dining experience here is quite difficult to do. The staff is great, the food is amazing...they've got it together in every way. I think they're only weakness is their side dishes and I'm really reaching with that. It's wonderful to go to a place and share some amazing appetizers (we ordered a second of the Ahi Tuna it was that good) and everyone at the table is raving about their main course and how they for sure think they ordered the best thing on the menu and you feel the same about yours yet you try a bite of theirs and it's just as good or better. This is for sure a place you can taste the pride and love of the food they put out. read more

18 Oaks - The lamp shades are carved wood. Very unique and beautiful. - Steakhouses Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

So we get there for our reservation and the place is packed. Some people are in bathing suits. This place is outrageously priced. Food is delicious but sides are extra. Our waitress did a great job. We tipped her very well. But a huge party came and sat right next to us with kids running around and screaming. It felt more like a chilis then an upscale restaurant. Which I guess it is not anymore. read more

Pricy but with correspondingly appropriate value. The service is also outstanding. Just to be clear, this is a higher end restaurant for people of the carnivorous variety. The menu and staff take much pride in their offerings made from local artisans, sustainable fisheries, and other organic ingredients. Everything we ordered was delicious - from the pickles and jerky served with the dinner rolls to the creamed spinach and sweet potatoes fries accompanying our entrees of short ribs, and Wagyu filet and flat iron. A big standout - or must order - for any diner at 18 Oaks is goat cheese potato gratin. read more

Sunday brunch at 18 Oaks Restaurant was by far our favorite meal while visiting San Antonio. The A.W. Marriott Resort & Golf Course is beautiful. 18 Oaks Restaurant is the high end steak house on the the resort. It's beautifully decorated, well-appointed, has very friendly staff, and delicious food. The brunch buffet is well-stocked with handmade Breads and cheeses, hot dishes including bacon, sausage hash browns with poached eggs, macaroni and cheese, and chicken and waffles just to name a few. There is also a Carving Station with roast beef, and roast turkey, and a dipping sauce for the turkey that is the personal recipe of one of the kitchen staff. There is also a lovely dessert bar, as well as an ice cream sundae station. If that were not enough there are also omelettes, waffles, and other items that you order from your server and are at your table and just a few minutes. Did I mention that there is a raw bar with colossal shrimp, oysters and jumbo crab legs?! My favorite bite of the day was a blueberry scone topped with baked ricotta and preserves. If you're going to be in San Antonio for a Sunday afternoon you must stop by 18 Oaks for brunch. read more
