    The table service was fantastic and the food was delicious. The portion sizes are large. Everyone loved their meal, we will definitely be back.

    Meatball Parmesan

    We came in to celebrate our 19th wedding anniversary on a Friday night and had a phenomenal experience! It was a lively atmosphere with live music planning, a backed bar area and a humming dining room. We were given the corner "power" booth and really felt cozy. The staff were friendly and attentive. Our server JT was a sweetheart and did a great job. Our meal started with two appetizers: the Calamari & Meatballs. Both were fantastic and really set the tone of what this place is. The Calamari was perfectly executed - seasoned well and not overcooked. The meatballs were phenomenal and full of balanced flavor, due in part to the heavenly red sauce they were swimming in. These are a must try! We then enjoyed Ceasar salads before our entrees and really enjoyed the balance and flavor they offered. Simple and delicious. The entrees were outstanding! * My wife ordered the Noli's Sautéed Chicken, featuring a sautéed chicken breast and cappellini pasta with basil, capers, sun-dried tomatoes, olives in a white wine lemon sauce. A lighter plate with a fragrant touch, she really enjoyed the combination of flavors. * I went with JT's recommendation and chose the Prime Surf 'N' Turf...this was amazing! A 12oz Ribeye cooked medium rare, topped with two huge fried shrimp, accompanied by a rich and delicious lobster vodka sauce under perfectly baked ravioli. If you are spoiling yourself, this is the choice for you! We can't wait to get back to Albi's Vite and make more memories. In the meantime, you deserve to go make your own!

    Chicken Parmigiana

    Craving Italian, found a place. Didn't expect it to have a more fine dining/romantic vibe, but love it! There's live music with saxophone, very lovely. We went for the full courses minus desserts. Tried the gnocchi, very tasty and fresh, you have to get it. The soups were surprisingly great, we had lobster bisque and Italian weddings magnificent. The main course, I had the white clams pasta, it was decent though my stomach felt uncomfortable end of the day. However, chicken parm made up for it, must order. Our server was attentive and refilled our drinks frequently. Would be back to try other dishes!

    There was no waiting we were seated quickly and greeted very nicely. The complimentary breads were divine, baked and seasoned perfectly, one had nice garlic notes and the olive oil was mild making the combination amazing. The Sausage Arribiatta was savory with a little heat very enjoyable dish. The Chicken Piccatta was moist the capers were tangy and the angel hair pasta was prepared just right! For a Sunday lunch the restaurant was quite and the music was not too loud. Definitely be back to try other menu selections and maybe next time a cocktail. I really enjoyed the Mango Tea.

    I am not a big fan of Italian food. Every once in a while I enjoy a bowl of pasta and meatballs. This restaurant is close to the Dominion so I thought it would be super fancy! Believe it or not the pasta actually came with the meatballs and very reasonably priced with a lot of pasta on the plate! Also the taste was delicious. It really hit the spot! The service was prompt and the server was very polite and kind The bread they serve before the meal is delicious too!

    Went with a large party to celebrate her birthday. Staff was friendly as soon as we arrived and very attentive. We went to the location off 410 but would normally go to the Leon Springs location. There were mixed reviews from the group on their food so trying to summarize: some of the plates needed salt, Marsala with different proteins were ordered and 1 dish had more mushrooms than the other, bread was amazing. Waitress was a little slow, ordered a margarita (only 1 on the menu) she came back twice to ask what kind and flavor, came back again to tell us they only have 1 option. Refills on drinks were a little slow. I think given the size of our party may have contributed but my husband and I really enjoyed our food. We will give it another try for sure.

    Salad with avocado

    I really wanted to like this place, but the food just wasn't good. I booked a reservation on open table and read the yelp reviews. It seemed like a winner. The server was very polite and the inside of the restaurant had nice ambiance. The outside look doesn't match and I was a little hesitant when we pulled up. I also noticed some kind of musty odor when we first walked in but I was still holding out hope. The salad with avocado was good (minus the generic Italian dressing). The bread looked great but was only so so on flavor. What killed it for me was the entrees...I ordered the carbonara (which I have cooked at home and eaten other places on many occasions) and it just tasted awful. It looked ok, but the sauce didn't taste anything like carbonara and the pancetta was so salty I started to wonder if it was past its prime. My husband had the redfish and said it was dry (despite being drowned in lemon sauce) and that the sauce was just overpowering. Again, the hard thing was that everything looked great, it just didn't taste good. I also visited the restroom while there and it was clean enough but no paper towels and no hand dryers so I had to use toilet paper. Overall, this place was a bust for me.

    As local residents who were eager to finally visit, our experience was disappointing, revealing a…read morenumber of issues that detract from the establishment's potential. Deficiencies in Service and First Impressions The initial experience upon arrival immediately set a negative tone. There was no staff presence at the door, and no clear, written signage indicating the proper protocol for seating--whether to wait, check in, or simply seat oneself. This lack of guidance forces guests into an awkward uncertainty, which is unacceptable for any hospitality business. After finding our own way to the covered patio, we observed servers casually chatting amongst themselves while intermittently looking in our direction. A more professional approach would involve staff being observant and quickly moving to acknowledge and seat new arrivals. When a server finally approached our table, the interaction was severely lacking in basic professional etiquette: * No greeting was offered. * No menus (drink or food) were provided. * The only opening line was an abrupt inquiry: "Are you ready to order?" These omissions suggest a fundamental lack of staff training in business etiquette and basic customer service procedures. A proper initial interaction should involve a warm welcome, an introduction of the server, and the immediate presentation of menus. Operational and Marketing Misalignment A major deficiency is the misalignment between the bar's online presence and its current operational reality. The website prominently states, "DRINK. EAT. VISIT.," creating an expectation that a food menu is available. We were informed by the server that the cook had quit and no food items were available. This is a critical failure in both operations and marketing transparency. The website must be immediately updated to reflect the current operating posture and manage customer expectations. The suggested workaround--ordering food from Fralo's Pizza next door--while a temporary solution, begs the question of why a patron wouldn't just choose to go to Fralo's directly. This situation undermines bar301's identity as a full-service establishment. Limited Offerings and Infrastructure Issues Further disappointment arose regarding the beverage service. Upon ordering frozen margaritas, we were informed that the bar does not prepare frozen margaritas. For an establishment specializing in drinks, a common and popular request like a frozen margarita should either be available or clearly noted as unavailable before ordering, especially given the lack of a drink menu. Beyond service, the physical space itself presents an issue. The location appeared unappealing and partially rundown. While the primary product is the experience, the ambiance is a critical component. Management needs to make a tangible effort to improve the aesthetic appeal and overall maintenance of the space to create a more inviting and lasting impression. Conclusion and Recommendations Our visit was cut short, as the cumulative impact of these deficiencies led us to seek an alternative venue (Silo Oyster Bar) where we anticipated a more professional and competent service standard. To improve customer experience and ensure long-term viability, bar301 management must immediately implement the following: * Mandatory Staff Training: Institute comprehensive training on basic business etiquette, professional greeting protocols, menu presentation, and proper table service. * Operational Transparency: Immediately update the website and any external marketing materials to accurately reflect the current food service status. * Front-of-House Management: Establish a clear and well-communicated seating protocol, including a dedicated host or signage for customer guidance upon entry. * Facility Upgrades: Invest in improving the appeal and maintenance of the space to align the physical environment with the perceived quality of a San Antonio destination. Addressing these critical points will be essential to make a better and lasting impression on both local and visiting customers.

My wife and I went up the elevator and it opens up to this very quaint and open space. First, the calamari appetizer is one of the best I've tasted. It was warm, crunchy and succulent at the same time. Delicious! Next, we ordered our main dishes - Chilean sea bass for me and crab cake for my wife with a side of truffle Mac and cheese. It's hard to describe the first bite that has the best taste of a fresh fish cooked to perfection. The crab cake is 100% crab meat - no fillers. Who does that? The best seafood kitchen - that's what.

Upon entrance, took a short quick elevator ride up to restaurant. With reservations, we sat near the large windows and were greeted by our server. We ordered an app and some drinks to start. The Hemingway cocktail sounded promising , but unfortunately the grapefruit juice overpowered the drink, so we did have to ask for simple syrup. Hubby loved the Seasonal mule! Served in a super cool cup-- heavy, with Icelandic detailing. So good, he ordered another lol I was slightly disappointed with the spicy cocktail shrimp app. Five lonely shrimp were plated on a large iced platter with some cocktail sauce $20. I would have preferred a large elevated glass cup filled with sauce and lined with jumbo shrimp. Main dishes: Grilled Texas Redfish- $37. Good, flavor bland. Beautifully plated. Moist flaky fish, would have enjoyed more lump crab. I probably would not order this again. Special - Halibut and shrimp $47 This is a must ! It looked so yummy and tasted soooo good. A large jumbo jumbo fried shrimp topped the delicate delicious halibut. I should have ordered this one, hubby got the good with this one. One of our friends ordered and raved about the signature chicken fried oysters. Another popular dish to get! Overall great service, good food.

The meat ball's were very tender with excellent flavor and are served with a marinara sauce and ricotta cheese. It's also accompanied by two slices of garlic bread. The Flat bread was a nice portion size for two . It is meant for those who love cheese as the mozzarella and feta are very present. The meat portion could be a bit more for me ( I'm a carnivore). The dough was nice and airy and the flatbread overall was tasty. The feta was a bit too much for my taste. Could have done less. I started with the GSM and my wife with the Cab Sav from happy hour . The GSM was flavorful, a little bold, but a little bitter to me. The Cabernet was very fruity and full bodied . We tried a couple other wines that were spot on. This is a nice place to have wine with friends and bites. It is a nice size and has an excellent atmosphere. Very nice decor and bright. We will be back !
