    Land race can be a little hit or miss. Sometimes the food is great, and sometimes it is not. We come to The Thompson often, and we have a credit to use, so we often use it at Landrace. Customer service is good- and the drinks are very tasty.

    Catch of the Day: Halibut
    Pree R.

    I was in San Antonio for the first week of December for the marathon, and came into the city Saturday evening. My boyfriend and I were trying to get to Pharm Table for dinner, but my car GPS brought us to this area of downtown instead, lol. Since we already paid $16 for parking (ugh), we decided to find someplace to eat near where we parked. When we tried to go to a nearby Mexican restaurant first, the concierge at that hotel recommended we go to Landrace at the Thompson. No doubt that the ambiance is very fancy and feels upscale, but the staff were very chill and it took no time to feel at ease. Unfortunately, there are not many vegetarian options, but the staff are accomodating and are able to customize items as needed. To start, we got the brussels sprouts. The first time around, they came with bacon so we sent them back, but they did not make a fuss about having to do that for us. My boyfriend had the catch of the day for his entree (halibut I believe?) which he enjoyed, and I was able to get a "fake bolognese" gnocchi dish made with mushroom and olive. The pasta itself was nothing special, but that was great in regards to eating a meal that would not give me tummy troubles for my race the next morning! Our dessert however was incredible. It was a "milk and cookies"-style dessert that came with two crisp chocolate cookies and a panna cotta style "milk" dessert. It was exquisite!

    Chickpea and mushroom meatballs

    I have been here before and the food and service has always been great. This time I came before a show at the Tobin center. It was around 5:30 PM and it wasn't too busy. We started with the chickpea and mushroom meatballs. I will have to say they had great flavor, but they were cold. Don't know if they were meant to be cold because some of them tasted slightly warm on the outside. I may be overreacting regarding the meatballs, but if they were going to microwave them, they should have left them in their long enough. For my meal, I ordered the Alaskan king salmon Cobb salad. It was a good portion. The smoke tomato dressing was just a little too overpowering for me, but overall the salad was great. The blue cheese complemented the dish and the salmon portion was a good size. My friend got the burger and fries. The burger was good. He added bacon. Service was good. You can make reservations online. Parking is available in their parking garage or street parking

    Turducken and beef for Thanksgiving Day Brunch Buffet were a little overcooked
    Altovise L.

    This is such a sophisticated yet cozy restaurant. It fits perfectly with the Thompson Hotel that it is located inside.There is also complimentary valet parking when you eat there. They servers and valets are polite and provided good service. I didn't order from the regular menu but went on Thanksgiving Day for a special holiday brunch buffet. They had a nice selection of cheeses, breakfast items and lunch appetizers. The Bloody Mary that I ordered was quite good. The only thing is the Turducken and Roast beef were a little overcooked for my preference. I'd like to come back again during a normal evening for dinner. I want to believe the individual dishes will be much better than the meat that they served Thanksgiving Day.

    If you are looking for delicious and high quality bruch, Landrace is for you! Last weekend my friends and I decided to checkout Landrace for breakfast/brunch. I think most people associate the restaurant with steaks and dinner, but their brunch is out of this world. The menu itself is small but mighty with multiple options for everyone. For my first time I decided to go with the Brisket Benedict, which includes BBQ bearnaise, fried shallots and avocado. The eggs were cooked to PERFECTION! Eggs benedict can be a hit or miss at many other restaurants but Landrace nailed them! Also, the brisket was absolutely delicious and was not too sweet. The only thing I was not a super huge fan of was the bread they used, but regardless of that the eggs were probably one of the best I've had in a very long time. Last but not least, if you dine in at the restaurant you get 2hr of free parking at their valet.

    My fiance and I went to Landrace for a date night in May - the ambiance was quiet and lovely and the service was efficient with a couple of hiccups, but the night went smoothly overall. We had the beef tartare to start with and later moved on to the Filet Mignon with a side of the chimichurri bearnaise and Homm Pomme Aligot, and the double cut Pork Chop with a side of the Brisket Mac n' Cheese. All of the dishes were quite delicious! Although it is definitely on the pricier side, the overall experience of dining at Landrace justifies the expense to some extent. When it comes to some of the cons, as I mentioned earlier there were a few irregularities with certain items being sent to our table twice or not at all but our server was able to deal with the snags quite professionally. The difference in the literal sizes of our mains was a little surprising and I wish we had been given some warning while placing our orders, but in the end it was a good experience altogether.

    Croque madame
    Vlad V.

    I spent a weekend in San Antonio for Halloween. On Sunday, before heading back to Houston, we stopped by Landrace for brunch. We were excited to check it out as the chef is a James Beard finalist. Located in a hotel, while Landrace is on the River Walk, it's not in the super busy stretch of the River Walk. It's off of the beaten path a little bit. They have a nice little patio but since it was pretty hot, we decided to dine indoors. I went with the croque madame which is served with a fried egg and a side of fries. I've had quite a few croque madames in my life and this one was up there with the best. The sauce was oozing out of the sandwich. The bread was fresh. And the fried egg was a nice addition. The crispy fries also delivered. Service was standard. While many of the items on the menu were a bit pricey, the entree I had packed provided good value. Next time around, I'd love to check them out for dinner!

    My tastebuds STILL crave this food after coming here for my birthday dinner. Everything, and I mean everything was SO amazing. When you first walk in, the smells and aesthetic of the restaurant give off cozy and intimate vibes. Which I think is fantastic for a hotel restaurant. There's so much to look at and that makes for great conversation. Both the hostess, server, drink server, and Chef were so welcoming. It truly was a great experience! I look forward to coming back again and trying out some new things.

    I wanted to do something special for my birthday, and the Thompson came to mind. This fabulous high rise hotel is located right downtown and boasts beautiful art throughout. It is also the home of the rooftop lounge - Moon's Daughter and Landrace restaurant, which is where we had my birthday dinner! Sophisticated decor with low lighting and general lack of children set the stage for a perfect adult evening with my dear friends. Our server, Adam, was amazing! He was very knowledgeable, attentive, and prompt! The rest of the staff were wonderful as well - keeping our water glasses full and our table clean at all times! We tried a few appetizers and each had a different main course. We also sampled a few of their cocktails and got a complimentary ooye gooey nutty Texas fudge cake! I'll put the names of all the dishes under the pix! Everything was just fantastic and we had a great time! P.S. The hotel has valet parking, which is usually $30, but Landrace can validate it for you! But don't forget to bring some small bills to tip the valet staff as this hotel is cashless and we had the hardest time breaking a higher bill note.

    The food was absolutely amazing the we had a huge range of food from stuffed zucchini to this amazing Prime Tib that just melted in your mouth like my good!!! Then they hand this yummy and I mean yummy pudding thing with a double chocolate chip cookie that was just absolutely delicious and then this watch chocolate Texas cake with pecans it's was so moist like I'm screaming just thinking about it!! The drinks were so tasty from the sangra to the margarita the waiters were so efficient and fast with the service. Very attentive and kind! The aura is definitely casual high end restaurant like you don't have to be super fancy but it's nice and cute for date night with a river walk view! I can't wait to go back but make sure you're wallets ready!

    Delicious fresh food, nice rustic western ambience and great service. Mashed potatoes were heavenly, so smooth and so yummy. My friend had the filet mignon medium rare and said it cut like butter. Not noisy at all, very cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend!

    Kimchi'd green apples (don't quite remember what this was)
    Lydia N.

    Pros: Beautiful intimate interior, great for a special occasion or nice date Really wonderful and terrific service Cons: Meh food All our food looked good but ultimately fell flat on delivery. Hush puppies were served with popcorn, which was a fun fancy finger food, but the popcorn was stale. The hush puppies were okay, crunchy on the outside, a little dry on the inside, but served piping hot from the fryer. Bone marrow toasts were impressive looking but a bit bland. The toasts they were served with had the texture of HEB's $1 French bread - fine crumb and a soft crust. The apple salad we had was nice and refreshing. Scallops were served with a tasty truffle orzo, but the scallops were unpleasantly chewy. My date had the pork chop, it was alright, but nothing special. Our server was fantastic and helped us through the menu and has great timing on checking in with us. It's a nice restaurant but after missing the mark on so many dishes I'd definitely go somewhere else first.

    Carrot cake
    Krista C.

    Wasn't super thrilled with the items I ordered but after eating off some other folks plates I'd recommend: Pork Belly Tacos Filet New York Strip Carrots side (just do it trust me) Carrot Cake I ordered the scallops but felt that the flavor profile was not at all what I was expecting - it also wasn't a great flavor. When I order scallops, I'm expecting charred edges with flavors of butter, salt, lemon and maybe some parsley. The side for the scallops was good (truffle corn orzo) but serving it in the corn husk was an odd choice to me. Service also felt a bit pretentious at first which I didn't like. I was with a big group of young adults but we all had money to spend.

All perfectly acceptable as most people come to expect just that. Somewhat blasé but good Let me start by saying that Biga elevates fine dining with in indescribable wow factor! It became an exciting adventure with the unique meal choices and pairings that tempt you(at least me) to step away from your normal comfort selection. My choice is nearly always a perfectly prepared tenderloin, but this time Chef Auden's menu was so intriguing I had to choose the 11 spiced Texas antelope & Lockhart quail Where else is that even an option! How creative! My son chose the tenderloin of course and normally he chooses the more unique menu choices as he travels extensively through the US and lived for several years in Japan. My wife went with the Wagyu burger personally delivered by Chef and Owner Bruce and my sons fiancé choose the rack of lamb and we wrapped up the evening with the Biga sampler dessert. Everything was perfection and very memorable. Not just a fine meal but a perfect night with family and a beautiful view! Amazing meal and delightfully entertaining from start to finish. We were greeted and treated as special guests and felt like good friends by the time we left as during the evening we spoke with not only our fine, informative waiter but also everyone who just really pulls the Biga experience into an unforgettable evening including & especially Chef Bruce Auden Highly recommend! I even found the wine that Chef Auden paired with my son's filet and special ordered a few bottles from the winery for home I was so impressed as Sirin Cabernet is more of a boutique wine you don't see available at other places. Impressive! Thank you for the fantastic evening and we will be back

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.)

None of that happened. They also always card everyone in the party, I didn't see them card anyone in the bar this night. While there were plenty of staff (in different color shirts - white, black and grey) behind the bar not one person said hello, welcomed anyone on our side of the bar or made eye contact. They were more focused on cleaning the glasses than taking our order. It was just odd. Getting past that, I enjoyed the local cider selection (kiwi strawberry) and my husband enjoyed the Belgium golden ale house beer). Food was great as well we enjoyed the boneless wings Korean style, Miguel's queso and ahi sashimi. Delicious. I also enjoyed the music videos playing on one of the tvs that was so fun. Bathrooms were clean but both needed work. In the women's, I noticed the vacant/occupied switches were not in working order as some of the signs said occupied but they were not; and the ones that said vacant were occupied. My husband noticed that there was no soap or towels in the men's bathroom. It's the little things. Even if you are crowded you should be staffed well enough to take care of these things.

Unfortunately, the experience changed once we were seated. Our waiter was incredibly short and came across as rude throughout the meal. When we asked for recommendations or some of his favorite menu items, his response was essentially, "I don't know what you like," rather than offering any guidance. The service somehow felt rushed even though the food itself came out slowly, and there were very few check-ins during the meal. When it came time for dessert, we asked to see a dessert menu and were simply told, "It's on the menu you have," which summed up the lack of hospitality we experienced at the table. I ordered the Mustang Chicken, and unfortunately it was very disappointing. The chicken was fatty, full of tendon, and tasted more like a frozen piece of chicken that had been dropped into a deep fryer than something I would expect from a restaurant at this price point. It's disappointing because the restaurant has a great atmosphere and our experience at the bar started off so well. Unfortunately, between the table service and the quality of the food, I would not recommend Cappy's based on this visit.
