We were immediately seated and Jamie, our server was friendly and attentive. Actually the entire staff was excellent. We opted for the prix fix luncheon menu - so worth it! Your choice of main with salad or dessert orrrrrrr for +$3 you get all 3! Our server asked us if we wanted bread, and we said yes. The complimentary breads were nice and warm- a mixture of freshly made white and a dried fruit nut bread. The dark bread with dried fruit/nuts was my fave and highly addictive lol Ordered : Baby spinach salad with Brie on the side- fresh spinach drizzled with a light vinaigrette and sprinkled with pieces of dried fruit and bacon. The breaded/fried Brie was ooey gooey goodness. Hubby had the Classic Caesar and he enjoyed it. Both salads were decent large bowl portions. Grilled miso glazed Atlantic salmon- fresh, earthy, healthy, and delicious! A good piece of salmon cooked to perfection in a mild miso glaze and topped with an avocado relish. Everything (the quinoa, toasted cashews, grilled bok choy, and salmon) paired and blended so well together. Pure delish. I was completely full afterwards, but hubby had some space for dessert. Choices for dessert were limited to 3 - crème brûlée, chocolate mousse, or toasted coconut mousse pie. We chose the dark chocolate mousse- absolutely beautiful! Dark chocolate was sinfully good, cocoa nibs added a slightly crunch, and the berries were fresh and plump. We were happily stuffed. Service was excellent and food delicious. We would definitely revisit.

The place was packed and active as it was Spurs final game... he told us the score lol, kept glasses full, coffee fresh, food hot and spirits high. We were a part of 6 with a last minute addition and he was 'on it!'. If you want or need your experience at this location to go almost perfect, ask for this young man. I know I will!

He was stopped at the door to see if the Manager would let him in due to his shoes. It was decided after we were seated that it was ok.

We did have confetti on the table and a card. I'll never go back.

After a very long and exhausting weekend, my husband told me get dressed and let's go have dinner…read more We like staying in the area and checked out who had a good happy hour menu and we were about to do the usual when we decided to try Blü instead. Though my husband was dressed nice he was wearing a fashion baseball style cap and they asked him to please remove it as it is not allowed, I honestly love and appreciate that they adhere to a dress code! We were seated at a nice cozy, two seater table right by the bar and were instantly greeted by a young man that came to serve us water and let us know that our server would be out soon. Shortly after Celeste came and introduced herself and went over some of the more popular items on the menu with us. She was such an amazing server that anytime we go back, we are definitely going to ask to be in her section! Everything she recommended was an absolute must! We also had the pleasure of meeting the chef for a brief moment and swapped out one of our items for his recommendation, the pork belly. First, let's talk about the presentation. We ordered a lot of items off of the elite menu, which to be honest, far exceeds a happy hour menu. The selection of drinks, mocktails, and food items are some of the absolute best we have seen anywhere. Since we ordered a lot of items, they brought it out to us on a long flight board presented beautifully. But let me back up for a minute, before our food came out, Celeste brought us hot and fresh out of the oven potato rolls that were absolutely perfect. They had a slight sweetness with a savory butter and they just melt in your mouth, they are so soft! So for food items, we ordered the following: *Jumbo prawns - blackened two perfection, perfectly salted and chefs kiss with a squeeze of lemon, 10/10 *4 oz filet mignon - I don't even like filet mignon because I don't feel it is anything special but this one was seasoned to perfection and cut like butter 10/10 *Prime sliders - these were excellent, caramelized onion on a soft and gently toasted brioche bun, and they brought us ketchup and Dijon mustard 9/10 *Steak fries - we ordered these without the aïoli and they finished them off in the oven and dusted with Parmesan cheese, they were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and perfectly seasoned 10/10 *Spaghettini pasta - on the surface nothing about this looks or sounds special, but Celeste assured us that it was so we took our chances. It has got to be some of the best pasta I have ever eaten in my life. The texture and the flavors were amazing, whatever that sauce is, it is absolutely heaven sent! 10/10 *Pork belly - I really wanted to love this, but for me, I would have preferred that fat to be a bit more crispy. The flavor was delicious and the pork was super tender, I just prefer my animal fat to have more crunch. 8/10 *Chocolate cake - again, this came with high recommendation from Celeste, and I'm so glad we listened to her. This was such a light chocolate cake, and it was not too sweet. It had a whipped filling and a ganache topping. It was nostalgic, took me back to the 90s when I used to live off of Swiss rolls all summer. 10/10 *Old-fashioned- for nine dollars, this is truly one of the most amazing old-fashioned I've ever had. The flavor is perfect and it is really strong, I had mine made with bourbon, but you could also go with rye. With all of that, our total bill was $103 before tip. Truly cannot beat that with the quality of food, amazing service, and beautiful ambience. And thank you to Julian, one of the managers that came out to check on us and make sure that we were enjoying our experience. We absolutely did, thank you!

Our server also notified us that there was an automatic gratuity added since we had such a large group and I appreciated that! She deserved an additional gratuity in my opinion. I enjoyed my visit to Stone Werks.

This is a small chain of restaurants in San Antonio with an upscale look with a big menu and fair prices. I started our meal with their Blackberry Old Fashion. Wow this was an excellent drink. My wife had the Shimp Tacos and I had the Smash Burger. Fries come with the burger and these guys have shoestring fries! I highly recommend those. This is a big burger and it will fill you up. We really enjoyed our meal. But the Werks is not a burger place. Their menu is impressive. There is something for everyone. Steaks, rib eye, fish, pasta, pizza, salads and a great list of sandwiches. Great service, classy interior with comfortable seating makes this restaurant a good choice for a nice date night.

I'll start by saying that I LOVE Italian food, so I came in with fairly high expectations and,…read moreadmittedly, some hesitation. I didn't want to leave feeling underwhelmed. Fortunately, that wasn't the case here. From the moment we arrived the hosts were warm and welcoming and had us seated immediately. Our waitstaff was equally attentive, quickly acknowledging us with water and a fresh fruit selection to complement it. The ambiance has a nice balance between cozy and elevated. It feels refined without losing the warmth that makes Italian dining so inviting, and I'd consider the overall atmosphere above average for San Antonio. A particular highlight was our waitress, Carrie (if I remember her name correctly). She was exceptionally knowledgeable about the menu and, more importantly, her recommendations felt genuinely personal rather than rehearsed. She took the time to offer thoughtful feedback on each dish, which made ordering feel more intentional. Her warmth and attentiveness also added to the overall experience and are worth mentioning because great service can make a very good meal feel exceptional. As for the food, the bolognese and burrata were my personal standouts. The bolognese had the depth and richness I look for in a good Italian dish, while the burrata was a simple but very satisfying choice. The broccolini was also great, although it was noticeably thicker than I expected. That said, I have no complaints. For cocktail, I went with the Hibiscus Limonrita, which I enjoyed enough to sip on throughout the meal. It's not very sweet but fair warning, its pretty strong haha. Overall, this was a meal that pleasantly surprised me. I came in cautious because of how much I enjoy Italian cuisine, but left feeling that the food, atmosphere, and especially the service delivered a well-rounded dining experience. When a restaurant can combine quality food with knowledgeable, genuinely attentive service, it's the kind of place that earns a return visit. Carrie certainly helped make this one memorable.

I wish I could be there for my family, but ik Gods got them and he is rejoicing over their union. The workers were above and beyond. The food was delicious, and the wine was divine.

Unfortunately I…read moredid not get to taste the food because it took over one hour and a half to come out .. so we canceled our plates after waiting patiently. There was no communication in between this time at all, no refills on our waters, ( only one we had to ask for, and martha even had an attitude when bringing that out ) never brought the one soda we ordered, never brought the chips they promised twice. We were guests for a surprise engagement party here. We are simply friends of the bride and groom who came hungry and expecting to eat. We had no connection or understanding of the agreements between the party host and the restaurant. We were simply guests of the small party. I understand things can get out of hand, guest count might have unexpectedly changed. Things might went off the course of plans with head count but that is not only nothing to do with us, but it gives no excuse for a business owner/server to snap on her guests. I could see how 15 more people than expected can be stressful but when these people are guests at your restaurant and putting money in your pockets the right thing to do is treat them kindly. When something is scheduled in advance, as the owner of the business, Martha you should know how to handle situations without hostility and be able to work under pressure without snapping on your guests. Snapping on the bride and her pregnant friend is pretty horrible service and so disappointing. Thankfully my friend is not easily moved and she was still able to enjoy her night! People, if you want to support a small business, maybe find one that doesn't have multiple reviews about the owner of the place being incredibly rude to her guests. If you're in helotes looking for real authentic Mexican food, exceptional service and some pretty cool stuff to look at while you're inside I'd recommend El Chaparral Mexican Restaurant.

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. I love this place - so glad we were able to experience the joy of fine dining. As for our server - she was grand. Very attentive and friendly and gave us pointers about their menu items.

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.

This review I dug up is from a while ago, things may have changed…read more February 2020 was my first time at Savor (CIA) restaurant in the Pearl complex of San Antonio. By going on a Wednesday (around 7:30 PM) we were able to find parking and be seated without a reservation, but I recommend planning ahead other nights as the area gets very busy (and noting their hours). It was a pretty compact space, no lighting issues, but also quite noisy. My companion and I had to concentrate on each other to carry on conversation. We each ordered the four course menu, which lets you pick one of an item from each course, and I added a wine flight. We each took a bite of each other's food for maximum exploration. Keep in mind this is a training restaurant, and part of the proceeds go toward culinary scholarships. I can distill the experience into three points: The food was very good, the chefs-in-training are talented; The wine flight was disappointing; The server was warm but still in need of training. Dishes I got to try include the Hamachi Crudo, Steamed Blue Mussels, Tartar Brulee, Strip Sirloin, Grilled Pork Tenderloin and Belly, and Chocolate Souffle. The Hamachi was excellent, as were the mussels with potatoes and garlic (someone didn't share her chorizo with me). The main course strip sirloin was also excellent, and better than the grilled pork I chose. The steak was tender and moist. I gravitate toward pork belly items, but this pork was a tad dry. The chocolate souffle wowed my partner, but I found the cocoa note not to be to my liking, perhaps too bitter. I should add that the plates are quite small, so you may not leave full if you're very hungry. Before going into the negative, let me say the food was a fun experience, and I'd go back for another multi-course meal, or to explore the bar bites menu. The wine flight was a letdown, as it was small pours of mild wine, served with two word descriptions, one of which was plain wrong. I don't drink much wine, but I've had enough to know that these wines were probably chosen to be the least offensive. A small pour of a bold drink can have quite some value, but the small pours exacerbated the boringness. The wine service largely informs my opinion the server needs improvement/was likely early on her training rotation. I also had to plate swap with my companion when I was served her mussels. People trying and improving are to be expected at a training or test kitchen, so I appreciate her effort and ability to keep my water glass at least half full. We ended up being quite happy with the food and experience, which was good overall as a date night, but could've been better with a revamp of the wine pairing, or me electing not to have wine. I can't see myself going on my own given the price point of the courses, but I like to treat my partner. I'd recommend it if you're curious about the budding chefs or specific menu items, but be wary of the wine flight.
