    Stopped by on a whim. Ordered the Chicken Salad. It was very tasty. I was very pleased to get greens, not the annoying white ribs that plague most salads. The Salad was full of chicken feta, avocado, and strawberries. The staff was great, from register to quick service. The decor was casual, but upscale. The prices were great and still have a Military discount. That makes me return more quickly, knowing they support our Military members. Definitely worth a visit if your near the Whittie Museum or Botanical gardens In San Antonio.

    Okay my lunch experience was absolutely delightful. Everything was so delicious. We literally ate all of our food no survivors and the ginger lemonade was good. Seems like ginger is thing right now everyone adding it to drinks. They need TVs or something or good music that part is a tad stale. But staff was great everything went well I'm ready to come back.

    Great casual brunch spot in SA! Came here with a group of friends, ordered at the counter, the sat ourselves at a booth. Service was nice, no complaints. I got the avocado toast and the piece of bread was pretty small for the amount of avocado we were given. I appreciate the large amount of toppings though! The chorizo was delicious that I added on. My friends got the crispy chicken breakfast sandwich and enjoyed it. Another friend got a fruit bowl and didn't like it because the fruit bowl lacked berries and was cantaloupe-heavy which is a valid complaint. Overall: good old-school vibe brunch spot with affordable prices and a great avocado toast!

    First time at Adair. I enjoyed the aesthetic. Very modern and open. Happy hour is 3-6pm. 1/2 off all starters. 1/2 glasses of wine, and & $10 martinis. I had the beets and the meatball off the HH menu for dinner. We had the hummus appetizer and it was really good! Just a note that the Roasted beets are served chilled. We also had the chicken salad that's on the starter menu. It's big enough to be your meal. Off the dinner menu the table had the pecan crusted chicken and the burger. Both were good. For dessert we had the Apple bread pudding, the lemon icebox cake, and the cheesecake. All were delicious! My favorite was the lemon icebox cake! It did have a smaller menu at dinner. And the music was a tad bit loud. We could have a regular conversation we had to elevate our voices. If a manager reads this consider lowering the music at dinner. Serena was our server and she was great!!

    09 Mar 2026 We returned to try dinner. There is table service for dinner. Our server was very enthusiastic in describing the drink menu. Alas, we just want iced tea. A chilled bottle of water is brought for the table. The description of the food items didn't quite jibe with the on-line menu. My pecan-crusted chicken was described on-line as served with mashed potatoes and green beans. The restaurant menu states it is served with a green bean salad. When I asked what is this salad, the server said people get confused thinking they're getting a salad. You are not. There are minced pieces of I guess green beans sprinkled on top of the chicken. There is a sauce underneath the chicken which wasn't bad. The chicken. I was expecting real pieces of chicken. What you get is a chicken breaded filet that I bet is bought by the frozen bagful. There are also several pecan halves on the plate. The husband ordered the 12 oz hanging beef steak, served with onion butter. A very small dollop, not melted, still hard. Since neither dish came with sides, we ordered whipped sweet potatoes and cheesy mashed potatoes. Nothing to get excited about. I didn't taste any cheese in the cheesy mashed potatoes. They were very dry. I mentioned this towards the end of dinner and the server said yes, he had noticed they were dry, but that they are usually very good. Hmmm. Well, we got this far and so I ordered a dessert - lemon lime icebox pie. This wasn't bad, served with whipped cream. We had iced tea (served in small glasses) and never got a refill, even after asking. Other than that, service was good. Maybe a lot of the not-so-goodness is due to their newness and still feeling their way. I m not sure.

    Great idea but they still need time to get the kinks ironed out. We came a week after opening. So there was a line. We ordered at the counter and soon after the food came out. There was little to no silver wear available on any of the tables. We had to go a few over to get some off another table. Half way through my first turkey BLT half I realized there was no bacon at all. There is no one to check up on you or to see if you need anything else as you dine .So telling Waite staff was almost impossible. They did mess up our order a bit as well. Every one was dressed pretty causal I couldn't tell where the manager was. I really wish we got the attention of someone to help fix our experience. Like someone going around to ask how everything was. The highlight of everything was the lemon artichoke soup.

    Adair Kitchen is a new addition to San Antonio, with its flagship location in Houston. It has taken over the former Jim's building and completely transformed the space with beautiful minimalist décor. When you walk in, you're greeted and place your order at the front counter, then receive a number for your table. We started out with 2 lattes, and we both ordered another because it was so good. We ordered the two eggs with hash brown casserole and a biscuit. The eggs were cooked perfectly, but the hash brown casserole, which is more like a latke, was a bit underwhelming in flavor. The buttermilk biscuit was decent but quite dense rather than light and fluffy. The strawberry compote, however, was fresh and very good. My husband ordered the chicken honey butter biscuit. The chicken itself was crunchy and cooked well, but it lacked seasoning. The biscuit was also extremely thick, so much so that he ended up removing one half just to eat it. With a good brine and a more flavorful batter, the chicken could really shine. We also ordered a side of fruit, and a side of grits. The grits had a nice little kick from jalapeños, but like the rest of the meal they were very lightly seasoned. I'm someone who almost never adds salt to food, but a little seasoning is important to bring out the natural flavors. The service was excellent and the space is lovely, but overall the food felt a bit too restrained on seasoning for my taste.

    Our beloved Jim's has finally been reincarnated and I have to be honest, they did quite a good job! Adair Kitchen has a welcoming vibe from the moment you step inside. Somewhat of a blend between classic diner and mid century modern, the place is truly beautiful. You order at the front counter then find your way to your own table so be prepared for that and take into consideration the size of your party. Once seated, our drinks came out in no time but I cannot say the same for the food. There was some holdup with the fish tacos and by the time they did arrive, we were disappointed to find they tasted entirely too fishy. Without asking, our server said she was going to take care of them on our bill, which was an odd thing to say as we had already paid up front at the counter so that didn't happen. Wasn't enough to entirely derail us though. The lemon and artichoke soup and Joe's hot chicken were absolutely scrumptious and were enough to collectively fill us up beyond the taco flop. Nearly anywhere you sit you've got a great view for people watching on Broadway and they make it clear that you are welcome to linger a while, a nice touch in the hustle and bustle of the world outside their walls. The menu changes through the day and has unique enough items that you can try something different each visit, with daily specials to boot (discounted margaritas and burgers every Wednesday? Count me in!) I can certainly see myself returning!

    First let's pause and appreciate the beautiful update of the 1960's Jim's architecture with giant windows and open dining space. Love that they kept the booths, but modernized them. Adair is a diner concept with breakfast, lunch and dinner with orders placed at the counter. The menu has breakfast staples, lunch items like the baja Caesar and the "not Jennifer Aniston's salad." A full bar serves up craft cocktails like a lavender infused French 75. The food came out quickly and everything was delicious. The perfect spot before or after the Witte, Botanical garden or zoo visit.

    $15 meatball
    Michael Z.

    Meatball appetizer was 15 bucks. It was good, but appeared to be mixed with rice or some other grain. Not exactly fit for a carnivore! Sweet potato was a bit heavy on the puree. Still gave the place 4 stars... attentive service got 'em from 3 to 4.

    Pancake, eggs over easy, bacon, and hash brown casserole.

    The Modernist -- A True Speakeasy Experience in San Antonio…read more If you're in downtown San Antonio, take a break from the River Walk and check out The Modernist. This is a true speakeasy-style lounge that's easy to overlook from the outside--it looks like a regular, unassuming place. But once you step inside, the atmosphere completely changes. The interior is cozy, intimate, and has that hidden-gem feeling you want from a speakeasy. The staff members are incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I had the pleasure of having Adan behind the bar, and this guy knows how to make a good drink! As always, I started with my go-to Old Fashioned. I have to say, it was easily one of my top two Old Fashioneds I've ever had. Then I told Adan to surprise me, and he came up with some kind of peanut butter chocolate martini. Let me just say... it was a true pleasure. Rich, smooth, and absolutely delicious. What I really liked about The Modernist is that it feels like a place the locals actually frequent rather than just another tourist spot. I genuinely had a great time here. If you're visiting San Antonio and find yourself downtown, give The Modernist a try. Step away from the River Walk for a little while--you might just discover your new favorite spot.

    My wife and I went to The Modernist after seeing it on social media. There wasn't a drink menu, and…read morewe were told the idea is that you tell the bartender what you like and they make something for you. Her first drink was a lavender-style cocktail and was fine. For her second drink, she told the bartender to surprise her. He gave her a look and asked more than once if she was sure she wanted him to surprise her. Instead of making her an actual cocktail, he poured her what seemed to be a straight, extremely bitter liqueur. The whole interaction felt sarcastic and like he was intentionally messing with her rather than trying to make her something she would enjoy. What bothered me most was the attitude behind it. We weren't being rude, demanding, or causing problems. We were there to have a good time and experience the whole "tell us what you like and we'll make you something" concept. I did call the number listed for the business afterward trying to speak to someone about it. The person who answered said I had the wrong number and didn't know what I was talking about. I got angry during that call and said some things I shouldn't have, and I can admit that. But that doesn't change how disappointing the experience at the bar was. We expected a creative and welcoming experience and instead left feeling like my wife had been mocked. I hope management sees this and addresses it, because the concept of the place is great, but the way we were treated completely ruined it for us

So I went to Bar 1919 in Southtown, a tucked-away speakeasy-style bar. I'd heard it could be difficult to find, and that mystery is part of the charm. Once I stepped inside, I was struck by how polished and inviting it felt: low amber lighting, dark wood, intimate seating, and a quiet hum of conversation that made the room feel removed from the rest of the city. The atmosphere was elegant without feeling stiff. The dim light glowed against the bar, and the cozy layout made it easy to settle in. There was something satisfying about searching for the entrance and then emerging into such a carefully designed space. [NAME] took care of me, and the service was warm and attentive. I was there by myself, but I never felt awkward sitting alone. The bartender checked in without hovering and made the experience feel relaxed from beginning to end. He also made me a from-scratch cocktail. [COCKTAIL NAME/INGREDIENTS] The drink was beautifully balanced, with [YOUR WORDS ABOUT THE TASTE/QUALITY OF THE DRINK]. The aroma rose from the glass before the first sip, and the flavors unfolded gradually rather than overwhelming one another. It tasted fresh, deliberate, and carefully prepared. I also had [FOOD], and [YOUR WORDS ABOUT THE FOOD]. The dish arrived [DESCRIBE PRESENTATION OR TEMPERATURE], with [DESCRIBE TEXTURE, AROMA, OR FLAVOR]. Each bite added another layer to the experience, and it paired especially well with the cocktail. Bar 1919 was exactly what I needed that night: a small escape with thoughtful service, a handcrafted drink, and satisfying food. The hidden entrance gives it a sense of discovery, while the intimate setting makes it easy to linger. Excellent idea.

The quail pops were a nice little appetizer although they could have used a bit more seasoning. I think the drink and app prices were very reasonable. Service was laid back and friendly. My only reco would be to maybe put a bit more thought into the vintage decor and secret restroom. The restroom lock was hard to figure out, especially after a drink or two lol.

    Tonight's experience branched outside of the typical tour and tasting. Myself and one other *lone…read morestar* attended Whiskey Wednesday with Mike, where we spent most of the evening learning about proofing, bitters, and cocktail craftsmanship while enjoying several samples and an old fashioned along the way. Maverick Distillery is housed in the old Lockwood National Bank, the first bank in Texas to allow women to open accounts without a man's permission. Their money was stored inside barrels in the bank vault. Today the bank vault has been repurposed into a small rick house, where barrels hold a different kind of currency. (The rest of their barrels are offsite in a more traditional rick house.) Once we were done upstairs in the private bar, we made our way down to that vault where we thieved directly from a barrel. Maverick is one of several distilleries along the Riverwalk, but the others don't appear to have mid-week experiences, which is a shame. In this triple digit heat, the most effective sunscreen is sitting in a bar.

They truly made her feel special and celebrated. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and extremely knowledgeable. I enjoyed learning about the history behind the name, the Mavericks, and the location itself. The Old Fashioned was excellent, and the whiskey flight was a great way to sample their offerings. The tour lasted about an hour, and afterward we were able to relax and spend some time at the bar. Overall, a fantastic experience from start to finish. Highly recommend!

When we asked for recommendations or some of his favorite menu items, his response was essentially, "I don't know what you like," rather than offering any guidance. The service somehow felt rushed even though the food itself came out slowly, and there were very few check-ins during the meal. When it came time for dessert, we asked to see a dessert menu and were simply told, "It's on the menu you have," which summed up the lack of hospitality we experienced at the table. I ordered the Mustang Chicken, and unfortunately it was very disappointing. The chicken was fatty, full of tendon, and tasted more like a frozen piece of chicken that had been dropped into a deep fryer than something I would expect from a restaurant at this price point. It's disappointing because the restaurant has a great atmosphere and our experience at the bar started off so well. Unfortunately, between the table service and the quality of the food, I would not recommend Cappy's based on this visit.
