    Uneggspected
    Carissa C.

    Eggspectation fell short of expectations. We visited with a party of 8 to celebrate an elementary school graduation on a Thursday mid-morning. I checked Yelp beforehand and was notified there was no wait. Upon arrival, there were only two small parties ahead of us, yet no one was at the host stand. Several employees glanced our way or walked by without a greeting or even eye contact--no "hello," no "we'll be right with you." Just silence and avoidance. It was uncomfortable. Eventually, a man I assume was the manager acknowledged us and said the wait would be 10 minutes. One party actually left due to being ignored. Service: The service was underwhelming. Perhaps they were understaffed, but even a little communication or courtesy could have gone a long way. Our server didn't provide straws, spoons, or sweeteners with our drinks. The sweet tea was overly sugary, and a flat soda followed. We repeatedly had to ask for napkins, drink refills, and missing items. There was no apology, no warmth--just robotic service. Food: Gooey Goose Bread (2 orders) - Incredibly sweet, more like thick pancakes. Garlic Bread - Surprisingly excellent. Fried Chicken & Waffle - Rave reviews; this dish may be the only reason to return. Uneggspected - Good overall, but eggs were overcooked. All-America - Basic. Toast came out very late. Eggsuberant (2 orders) - Bacon version was fine; the ham version was chewy and underwhelming. One person noted a strange taste in the syrup or pancake. Eggs Benedict - No complaints; plate was cleared. Kids pancake & salad - Standard. Overall: Between the poor service, loud music, and construction traffic on 1604, it's unlikely we'll return anytime soon. We usually give places a few tries before deciding, but this experience was enough to make us second-guess that. Disappointing, especially after looking forward to trying this place for so long.

    The food was sooooo deelish, the best crepe ever, I loved the hint of maple syrup, my partner said that her sandwich was really good too

    This is my favorite breakfast place, as a Canadian i can tell you this place is LEGGIT. I used to go at eggspectation in Montreal and there is no difference. Place is clean, food is tasty, big plate and delicious. The price os right, the lyonnaise potatoes were tasty. Real crispy bacon. Customer service on po

    Juan Pablo was our terrific and wonderful server here today. Ordered the plates below with coffee and everything is great tasting and perfect!!! Loved this place.

    Eggspectation was absolutely DELICIOUS! Service was amazing! Great suggestions by our server. Their fresh juices were very tasty. Breakfast was perfect. The manager was very friendly he seems to help deliver plates to each table when a party is receiving their meal, which I think is great! I cannot stress how delicious the food was. My father sends his compliments to the chefs! He is not a waffle kind of guy and couldn't get enough of the waffle we ordered. It was very fluffy and moist. We cannot wait to try this place again in the future!

    This is our second time eating here. Dishes are great. Nice portions. Service, ambiance, and location are pretty nice. Just a note. This time we noted a service charge on a dish. You want to add service charge, be clear about it and mention it upfront. Why being sneaky about it.

    Bacon Cheeseburger
    Steve G.

    Not real busy when we were here. Turns out we were the only ones in the restaurant after 30 minutes. Everything was... fine. The Caesar salad was very disappointing. Chopped up lettuce that could have come from a salad bag at HEB. The bacon cheeseburger was fine. Our group started with chicken wings that were fine. The fish and chips were fine but not crispy. Fried chicken was basically just chicken strips. 3 stars because the drinks were good at happy hour! Very good. So was the garlic bread and I liked the Goose bread, but others thought it was OK. My guess is that this is a place best for breakfast and brunch...

    French toast!

    Service amazing, ambiance amazing, food AMAZING. So happy with my first time experience here 10/10 recommend and will be coming again! Btw ate the food too fast to get a picture

    Breakfast plate

    Decided to have breakfast for dinner one evening. We received a warm greeting from the hostess and sat in a cozy booth. The waiter came promptly to take our order. I was surprised and the extent of their dinner menu and the waiter also offered their pre-fixe dinner for 2 for $55. Seemed like a good deal but we were on a mission for breakfast. Fortunately that is also available all day long. The food was served hot, fresh and tasty. I look forward to trying their dinner menu soon. The manager also stopped by to check on us and service was very friendly. They don't get much evening business so maybe the should offer a happy hour as Mirasol was jammed packed. Great job Eggspectation!

    Eggspectation never disappoints!! Brunch/Lunch ~ All delicious!! Getting on the wait-list helps prior to arrival!!

    this is a response to them charging my card $324 without my permission and unable to provide a signature
    Shonda D.

    My cousins card was charged the wrong amount over 300 and they refuse to fix it. We waited 2 hours to be seated and they don't answer their phones POOR MANAGEMENT ,POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. I think he thought we was trying to get over on them because it was a large crowd of black people. The money still has not been returned and the management was very unhelpful and didn't care about us waiting nor did they care about the overcharge. They lacked empathy and said that they do not make mistakes. They had us waiting for hours . Didn't offer a free drink for their mistake on seating someone in a section which made us wait another hour we sat hungry and thirsty with children. This was a place we decided to come after a funeral. Couldn't make reservations because they didn't answer the phone. It was a party of 20 I have been to this restaurant before in other cities and it was wonderful. The server was good however he messed up the tickets . The food was brought to us cold the only thing that wasn't cold was the crab cakes and the shrimp our family spoke with management who was dismissive and condescending. we will never come here again in San Antonio and no one still has gotten their money returned to them they are thieves.

    Nashville Hot Eggs Benedict
    Oscar R.

    Was not impressed but could just be me looking or wanting more. It is my fault for removing potatoes out of my diet but to not be able to substitute with anything is a bummer. The eggs did have a good runniness (not a word) about them and that is a rarity since most places basically provide overcooked poached eggs. So that is the 1 positive that I can say was a pleasant part of the bennies. Overall I liked the presentation with the bennies even though it had no sides on the plate. May need to revisit Nashville Hot or just rename it because it didn't bring the heat and was very mild to the point of just being seasoned chicken. I wanted to be a fan of the place because I do like a good bennie spot but they just fell short. What has me the most upset is the coffee. Please don't bring cold coffee to my table. If that is your plan, don't charge me for it. My wife was not impressed with the overall service and I didn't take pictures of her plate because it didn't have a wow factor. I know it's just breakfast but at those prices it should have an element of wow so that I want a photo.

    S'Mores French Toast
    Bianca L.

    Love the potatoes! I got the all time classic, so we can try all their meats, my son enjoyed the ham (sweet); the sausage was a bit too "peppery" for me, bacon was good but we had better bacon. If you love sweets and nutella, the Smores french toast is the way to go! Would not do it as my main entree though. Arrived around 1 pm on a Saturday for a party of 3. Server attended to all our needs, food came in at a reasonable time. Expect a longer than usual wait for weekends (the app is not accurate with estimated waiting time; but glad they have their website so you can plan ahead!)

Fried Green tomatoes - 10/10 Grits - 10/10 Praline Bacon - 10+++ Avocado - 10/10 Biscuits - 9/10 Scrambled Eggs w/Cheese - 6/10. After all that cheese and cajun seasoning, they were still tasteless. I added black pepper and it helped. My chai latte with oatmilk and a little caramel topped the meal off. Oh, and I ordered some beignets to-go. I remember those being good. I got 3 classics and 1 stuffed with peaches and cream. The music was a mixture between jazz, r&b, and a little funk. It added a nice touch on this rainy morning, especially jamming to James Brown.

Those who came early sat at the bar and ordered coffee and if you signed up for text messages you get 15% off which was nice. I got the NOLA brunch plate and tried the mixed beignets. The NOLA plate was good, but super duper heavy. The praline bacon is tasty and nicely sweet, the eggs with seasoning was probably my favorite part. The grits were good just super filling. The fried green tomato was also yummy just a bit salty. Overall 7.5/10 The mixed beignets came with four, a lemon one, chocolate, plain and flavor of the month which was a strawberry jam with sprinkles. Strawberry jam was terrible, a sin to beignets. It's just too sweet and oozes out (2/10). Lemon was okay just a bit too tart (5/10). Chocolate was surprisingly good; it tasted like warm mexican hot chocolate (7/10) Plain will always be my favorite though (8.5/10) even if this one is a bit doughy! Service was good especially for our large party! The interior is gorgeous with great natural lighting.

    A Perfect Return to Where Our Forever Began My husband and I…read moregot married at Hotel Valencia one year ago, so getting to return this weekend to celebrate our first wedding anniversary was incredibly special. As part of our wedding package, they were incredibly generous and included two complimentary nights at the hotel and dinner at Dorrego's for us to celebrate. They are truly the absolute best at what they do and really know how to celebrate their guests! Returning to the very place where we said "I do" was already emotional enough, but Hotel Valencia somehow made the experience even more memorable than our first stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff was exactly as we remembered them: kind, attentive, professional, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful. Our room was absolutely gorgeous, and when we walked in on our first day, we found the sweetest surprise waiting for us: a bottle of champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, and a congratulations message written in chocolate on the plate. I actually teared up a little! It was such a thoughtful and adorable gesture that truly made us feel seen, celebrated, and cared for. There is something so special about Hotel Valencia. The environment is exceptional, the service is always outstanding, and even their gorgeous signature scent instantly brings us back to memories of love, celebration, and adventure. Every little detail feels intentional and memorable. I am so incredibly thankful that we chose Hotel Valencia as the place to celebrate both our wedding and our first anniversary. It will forever hold such a special place in our hearts, and we cannot wait to return again and make even more memories there. Thank you, Hotel Valencia, for helping make two of the most meaningful celebrations of our lives absolutely unforgettable!

    A Wonderful Stay at Hotel Valencia!…read more We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Valencia on the San Antonio River Walk! The location is perfect step out the front door and you're right in downtown San Antonio. From the hotel restaurant, you can take the stairs or elevator directly down to the River Walk, which makes getting around so easy and convenient. What we especially loved is that this hotel has so much character and charm. It doesn't feel like one of those cookie-cutter chain hotels. We had a balcony, although it was simply too hot during our visit to sit outside and enjoy it. I'm sure it would be wonderful on a cooler evening! The bar and restaurant were both excellent, and the entire staff was friendly and welcoming. A special shout-out to the valet guys they provided wonderful service and were always so helpful. Great location, beautiful atmosphere, delicious food and drinks, and exceptional service. We would definitely stay here again when we're back in San Antonio!

Light dish. Tc double cheese burger: very strong flavors, somewhat sweet. Dense/heavy dish . Our waiter was quick and friendly. The restaurant lighting was dimmed and gave a more intimate /bar environment. I think the ac was broken here because it was very warm and they had fans going on around the room. I think this place would be good for someone who is prefers an American fusion cuisine that leans heavily on the western style dishes. The fusion elements were cute but I still left unsatisfied but still full. We did not park. We walked here right from the river walk. Not a bad place to go if you arrive in town after 9 pm.
