    Fairchild has such a cozy, inviting atmosphere -- a mix of dining tables and lounge chairs that make it feel relaxed yet stylish. The servers were friendly and attentive, and I really liked that they offer a happy hour menu until 7 p.m., even on weekends. That's a nice touch. We started with a few appetizers, and some were pretty solid. The Korean fried chicken and French fries were both good -- crispy, flavorful, and a great start to the meal. I just wish my entrée impressed me as much. I ordered the cioppino, and it was unfortunately quite bland. It tasted mostly like crushed canned tomatoes, and I could even see little tomato cubes that looked straight from the can. I ended up adding hot sauce just to bring it to life.

    Stayed at the Hyatt for a work trip and got takeout after my flight. The steak was decent and cooked med. rare as requested. It was a little bit too salty for my taste but not overly offensive. The meal came with broccolini and potato's as well. The truffle fries were on the happy hour menu and were an enormous portion for the price. They weren't great but not bad either. I did not come close to finishing, good value for the money esp during happy hour. The salad was a little overdressed and soggy. I enjoyed the beets. All in all not bad for a hotel restaurant but I likely wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again.

    What a cool find for Happy Hour! This is a short 5 min walk from the San Antonio CalTrain. Also located near a huge parking structure if you're driving in. Especially want to point out the service of Jimmie. We sat outside and he came to check on us so often, we felt so cared for! Made it super easy to order multiple rounds. Nice heat lamps outside and cozy padded seating. The drinks are just $10 at happy hour which I can't complain about! What stood out the most to me was the starters. The truffle fries were not only delicious but such a massive portion for just $10. The samosas were also super delicious (love fried food when drinking) and again only $10 for a portion of 5. A great deal! I was super surprised by this spot and definitely will head back for another happy hour.

    Friday, May 26th, 2023 - Bulleit Bourbon Rye Manhattan ($15)

    Date: Friday, May 26th, 2023 Time: around 6:15pm Party of: 6-7 I believe What: Happy Hour / Before Dinner Drinks *Moffett Mule ($15) *Whiskey & Ginger Smash ($14) *Gilroy Garlic Fries ($9) *Cabernet Canyon ($10 happy hour) x2 *Bulleit Bourbon Rye Manhattan ($15) *Smoked Maple Old Fashioned ($16) x2 My group was meeting up for dinner but wanted to grab some drinks beforehand. A few in our party showed up first and grabbed a table outside on the patio. I joined with another friend a little later. One of my gfs is a wine drinker, so she grabbed a few HH cabs. I believe they were canyon road. Not a bad deal. I got a Manhattan. If memory serves, it was fine. Nicely balanced and not too sweet since I requested rye. I'm not sure if they were understaffed, but it was hard flagging down a server. They didn't really check up on us, so we had to keep following up on orders and such. And even the bill. We had a dinner rez, so we were trying to close. I believe I went inside to get the cc processed. I like sitting outside and enjoying a drink or two. But if you're coming here, make sure you're not in a hurry. It may take a while. REVIEW #3534

    fairchilds burger add bacon, ordered medium rare and delivered medium rare

    friendly staff, every single employee. Julia has been our favorite bartender and staff member who has been our friend for the past 1-2 years. sadly, she will be having a change of careers so we won't see her often much longer. sad to see her go. seasonal menu that rotates to keep the menu fresh. the BEST BURGER in the area or within a 10-20 mile radius. always perfectly seasoned which is a huge thing for me. if you want a bit more salt and flavor, add bacon to give it that little extra something. you know this is fresh beef and always seasoned and cooked perfectly. fries are good chicken cordon bleu bites are good Korean inspired wings, good. spicy, sweet, but not too sweet which is a huge pet peeve. calamari, good meatless bolognese, good corn ravioli, too sweet and will leave you wanting something more seasonal salads are always nice and fresh poke tuna with chips, good and changes seasonally

    Quick Summary Pretty solid brunch option, especially if you're a globalist with the free breakfast. Solid food, large portions, cool interior and patio seating options. Food- 5 stars It's a typical hotel restaurant which is slightly better than chain brunch spots. I very much enjoyed the free breakfast options here with their menu. Really can't go wrong with the standard options: eggs Benedict, omelettes, french toast, waffle. Tasted great and large portions Service I would say they are slightly understaffed here as we did have to flag our waiter down towards the middle/end of our meal. Otherwise, the service was pretty solid Bottom Line Good ambiance, good food and portions, and pretty good service. A good and reliable option if you're staying at the Hyatt Centric

    I really like this resyaurant for several reasons. It is inside the Hyatt Centric on the 1st floor. It has a large open area around the bar. The staff are so friendly and were working very hard to fill so many orders. I had the J. Lohr "Los Osos" merlot and it was delicious. We had a large party for dinner in the back room. The Autumn Cali Caesar salad was delicious and hearty with kale, butternut squash, roasted cauliflower, and toasted almonds. I swapped the dressing for the agave blood orange vinaigrette. They were able to do separate checks which is such a great perk given that most places do not allow separate checks. Parking is easy as there is a huge, free, public lot. Tip: Happy hour is from 5-6 pm.

    Onion rings and chicken quesadilla
    Spencer S.

    Inside of the Hyatt Centric. Indoor and outdoor seating. Sitdown, full service restaurant. Bar, couch, booth, and regular table options from what I saw. Upscale casual. Fast and friendly service. My only issue was it was completely dead on a Friday night - we were the only table taken in the entire back room at 7:30-8pm. Maybe it was just a weird day, or maybe we were just late. Either way, barely any of the rest of the restaurant had customers throughout our entire experience. Again, it was a Friday night - weird! For apps, we went with onion rings and chicken quesadilla. For entree, I went with ahi sandwich and garlic fries. Drink was whiskey ginger smash. Large servings! I enjoyed everything, but nothing knocked my socks off. Relatively expensive in my opinion, but it did have a nicer atmosphere and I'm sure higher quality ingredients than most full service, sitdown restaurants.

    HH wings
    James H.

    Came for the happy hour and it was solid. The truffle fries were fried well and were nice and crisp. Really like the dipping sauce. The wings were only 4 to a order but were tasty. Good place to chill before or after a movie around the corner Prices are decent Indoor seating available 2 TVs Service was quick and nice

    Taufiq H.

    Nice place! This is in the Hyatt. Nice bar with good beer, wines, and appetizers for happy hour which is every day including weekends. I like the Pilsner beer, and the Ahi poke Nachos which is half price during happy hour

    Vegetarian Pasta - amazing!!!

Birthday girl had a great time exploring, playing and eating. The team were so easy to work with from the email correspondence on my Cinnamoroll themed table vision to day of set up. The staff were super quick & accommodating when they were assisting me with the set up. They helped me string up and put a HBD banner and set up my little one's high chair and way more like help bring stuff in, stock the drink fridge, set out the pastries, etc. They just knew what to do & did it straight away. I was amazed by the speed and professionalism! If only I had this level of set up at every birthday party. Barely any dictation or answering questions was needed. What a hugeeee lift off the mental load! There's a dedicated drink fridge in front of the register that kept our drinks chilled and easy for guests to grab. The food table is nice and long so it held a lot of food & we had A LOTT of food. We opted for the photo package too which was nice because usually being the host means you're too busy to take photos and get photos taken of your family. Overall, I highly recommend this place for your little one's special event! I only wish that this place was bigger so that we could invite more friends to our event. However, being smaller means more intimate events and those who are invited should feel super blessed and lucky to have made the cut!

I think if they put a fresh coat of paint on things or maybe invested in some newer toys this place would be 5 stars. With that being said, even in its current state it's still worthwhile coming if you have small children!
