    Chilaquiles with panko chicken
    Ara N.

    First time going today. Met some friends who I haven't seen in awhile. FYI -you can make reservations which was helpful. If you're seated at a table, know that there are hooks under the table for purses or caps. I really wanted to try their French toast but opted for the chilaquiles with panko chicken -yummm delicious. Did not regret. Our food came out fast for there being 4 of us. Perfect portions.Service was attentive and courteous. The staff wears cute shirts which are available to buy. All 3 of the girls bought one . Very bright, welcoming, and colorful atmosphere. I will return again because there's more I want to try on the menu. Outdoor seating is an option.

    This has to be the cutest brunch spot in San Antonio. The interior decorator was on to something here. I visited this location on a Sunday afternoon before my flight. The place was packed and the wait time was 45 mins. Luckily, someone was leaving from the bar so I was able to get a seat immediately. I ordered the doughnuts to start and they were good. My entree option was the breakfast sandwich with the chicken and a side of fries. It was delicious and humongous! I couldn't finish it all. I also ordered mimosa with cranberry juice and I was given a complimentary celebratory drink and doughnut! Such a cute and thoughtful touch!

    This is a pretty nice brunch place. It's super hip and chic everything and all the decor is pink. Our bartender a server were very attempt to get nice. The food was delicious. I quite enjoyed my lychee seasonal martini. I definitely will return and how they recommend this spot. I hope you enjoy and have a great experience like I did.

    Box St. All Day at Hemisfair is one of my favorite brunch spots in downtown San Antonio. Tucked into Hemisfair Park, it offers a beautiful setting that feels both lively and relaxed. The stylish, Instagram-worthy atmosphere makes it a great place to meet friends or enjoy a family brunch. The menu features a strong selection of brunch items, but my go-to order is the carajillo with eggs on avocado toast. Everything is consistently fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. After brunch, you can stroll through Hemisfair Park and explore the surrounding downtown area. The walkable, scenic setting makes the experience feel like more than just a meal. If you're looking for great food, drinks, and atmosphere, Box St. All Day is definitely worth a visit.

    Came for a Bach brunch! Definitely make a reservation but the food was great! Our server had great recommendations for which latte and the house juices. It was such a cute place to eat and very picture worthy! The have a good amount of tables and plenty of space inside and out! I got the eggs Benny and it was DELICIOUS!!

    The restaurant itself is cute. The food is very good, as well as the lattes. The service was lacking; not due to our server being impolite by any means. However, after a 45 minute wait, we ordered our food as soon as the server finally greeted us and still had to wait 45 minutes for our drinks and food. While expected when busy, we did note that nearly every table around us who sat down after/ordered after us received their food in a much more timely manner. But the server was very polite, nonetheless.

    Chilaquiles

    I really enjoyed this place. Service was friendly and helpful. My chilaquiles was so delicious I didn't want to leave anything on the plate. The matcha was one of the best I've had. We sat outside so it was a bit hot, they need more fans. My niece said her sandwich was just okay. The best part was the bacon jam and there wasn't very much of it. Will definitely return to try all the other options. There is also a cute park around the corner for kids since you can't make reservations this is a good place for them to wait without complaining.

    I love the location of this place, you can walk around after having a full belly. The site of World fair in 1968 with many water features. Jesse the waiter is very nice, polite and knowledgeable. The shirts "bs all day" is very cute, super tempted to get one. We ordered chilaquiles, French toast, steak-egg and fries. Plus crème brûlée donut. We ordered let your man go matcha tea, ube latte and nine am drinks. They are tasty. Online reservation was not available but when we arrived they asked if we have reservations, so maybe you need to call. The line was long so I asked for first available either indoor or outside. In Texas weather I should have asked indoor and waited 10 min longer, the experience would have been more pleasant without the flies pestering you. Wait line was about 50 min at 10:30 ish on Sunday.

    Unpopular opinion here but this is more of an "It" restaurant than actually good food. The food is totally good but nothing special. You need to make reservations for sure. Service is average. There are a ton of staff running around doing their best but it is not a relaxing environment. Cute modern decorations to solidify the "It" effect.

    This is such a cute brunch spot!! The moment I walked in, I felt like everything was so picture perfect. I ordered the eggs Benedict with fried chicken and cookies and cream latte. The Benedict came with a side of hashbrowns too that were soooooo good and crispy. I thought the chicken was ok, a bit on the drier side. But, I enjoyed the eggs Benedict and hashbrowns!

    Pulled up for Saturday Brunch with the crew! Started with a scrumptious cookies and cream latte-- not too sweet, and so cute! For my main, I had the scramble bowl with chicken sausage. Just a classic breakfast bowl--not really impressive, the mushrooms held the most flavor and were the star of the show. Finished off with the strawberry cheesecake French toast, a perfect desserty breakfast item to share with friends! Overall, Box St. is a cute brunch spot to chitchat and sip with your besties. Service was 10/10. I'd come back, maybe next time I'll try the bacon jam boy breakfast sandwich!

    Cute brunch spot. Saw this place on tiktok and decided to try it. I ordered their Steak Eggs & Frites and Razzberry Creme. Both were amazing. I like my steak medium rare and they cooked it perfectly. The Razzberry creme was so good for a mocktail. It was not too sweat. Our server was great. I'll definitely be coming here again when I visit San Antonio.

    Box street brekky
    Eric H.

    I was not prepared for Brussels sprouts to taste so good. They were delicious. I got the box street brekky which was two eggs, hash browns, bacon and Brussels sprouts. Very tasty. The potatoes had a crispy crust and soft inside. Eggs were cooked right and well seasoned. Bacon was thick. Service was quick and friendly. I sat at the bar, which has probably 20 seats. But there's a huge dining room and outside as well. Decor is warm and friendly.

    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

Great night, sky and cityscapes, but you're not facing anything that is particularly beautiful to look at. That said, the outdoor area of this sky. High bar is very nicely appointed with great music and nice views. I did not have any cocktails just go round. I just had a beer and all that was great. We had great service and I decided to try the crispy chicken Cobb salad.

There is an outdoor seating area as well with views of downtown. We sat outside, so to order food you have to go to the inside bar. I ordered a mojito, veggie tacos, and the shrimp and artichoke dip. Found seating outside and vibed to the live DJ playing latin music. Food took awhile to come out but we weren't in a rush. The tacos weren't anything to write home about and could've used some spice. The chips served with the dip were crispy and light and yummy. The dip had a decent amount of shrimp and I enjoyed it. The ambiance is giving upscale lounge but the fact that there is no table service outside, it feels like a basic bar. Im not sure if there is table service inside. The DJ really set the vibe for the place. Im not sure if I wouldve enjoyed myself had the DJ not been there.

Despite the staff shortage, we placed a significant order for at least ten drinks. My husband had made a reservation for 6:00 PM. However, at approximately 7:30 PM, after we had already placed our drink order, a staff member informed my husband that our table reservation was only valid for two hours. Concerned about the impending two-hour limit and the delay in receiving our drinks, which had still not arrived by 7:45 PM, we inquired with our bartender about potentially canceling our order. He reassured us, stating that other tables were available should additional patrons arrive. Our subsequent visit, on Saturday, July 25, 2026, was solely with my husband. We arrived punctually, approximately five minutes before our 7:30 PM reservation. A female bartender directed us to a small, two-person table, despite the presence of two larger, seemingly more comfortable, unoccupied tables nearby. While initially assuming these larger tables might be reserved for a bigger party, the selection felt somewhat restrictive given the availability. Our seating unfortunately placed us adjacent to another patron who was using an additional chair to prop up her footwear, which contributed to an unpleasant atmosphere. The bartender then approached our table and asked if it was our first time, to which we replied it was not. She then asked if we knew what we wanted to order. We requested a brief moment to review the menu. However, we then waited for approximately fifteen minutes for her to return. Eventually, my husband had to actively call her over to place our order. Our initial drinks arrived after another ten to fifteen minutes. Subsequently, my husband attempted to catch the bartender's attention to order another round and request water. However, she was engaged in a lengthy conversation, estimated at ten minutes, with the neighboring patron and proceeded to walk past our table without acknowledging us. This extended period of being overlooked led to considerable frustration for my husband, who then felt compelled to approach the main bar directly to place our order and obtain water from a different bartender. It was only after this that the initial female bartender finally approached our table, asking if we needed anything. Considering the relatively small size of the establishment and the fact that there were only three occupied tables at the time, the level of inattentive and delayed service was particularly disappointing and, frankly, perplexing.

    Update to first review below, rating updated from a 3 to a 5 star (drinks & bartender would get 10+…read morestars if we could rate that high): Saturday night: Went back for after dinner drinks at the Downstairs (a "speakeasy" throwback, look up the history of the place to see why). Drinks were AMAZING! Bartender Rob made the best Negroni I've ever had. I asked him to use whatever gin he thought best--result was an artistic smooooooth full-bodied drink. Told him when I was done I'd lick the glass if it wasn't considered so uncouth for a 'mature' lady like myself to do so Hubby's Buffalo Trace bourbon old fashioned was also outstanding. Rob was the bartender last night who did such a great job, and his work was even better tonight. We highly recommend The EsquireTavern for excellent cocktails. We love the long wood bar and high copper ceiling upstairs, but love the intimate speakeasy atmosphere downstairs even more. We'll definitely be back every time we're in San Antonio! First review, Friday night: Drinks were great (Manhattan and Bourbon Old Fashioned). REAL drinks, no complaints at all about those. And the bartenders were very friendly and helpful. Those aspects of the Esquire get 5+ stars from us. But the appetizers were not good, close to inedible. It was about 8:30pm or so, so maybe they were getting ready to close out the kitchen but the chalupitas with chicken tasted like rubber, and no flavor at all. The seafood platter had something in it that was breading with shell inside, but no meat of any kind. We couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be. The shrimp was good and the fish was good but those other things... We'll always love the drinks, the long wooden bar, and the ambiance at the Esquire Tavern, but we'll eat somewhere else and come here for before or after dinner drinks. (See update above to this review for when we returned the next night for after dinner drinks.)
