    Arancini
    Rebecca J.

    We visited Outlaw Kitchen again and, as always, loved that they switch up the menu weekly. This time we started with the arancini, absolutely superb. About five perfectly crisp rice balls filled with melted mozzarella, fresh peas, and tender cut-off-the-stalk corn. For our entrée, we ordered the chicken-fried steak made with Angus beef. It was cooked perfectly: crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The gravy could have been a touch thicker, but it was still very good. The green beans with mushrooms were outstanding; you could truly taste how fresh they were. We also loved the buttermilk biscuit and the mashed potatoes. I accidentally blurred the photo, so I'm bummed I can't show the food! We took the chocolate cake home, one we've had before and know is delicious. We finished the evening with a glass of their egg cream, which was the perfect ending. And of course, the service was amazing as always.

    The steak and pasta were enjoyed at the table. The goat cheese , cheese cake with blueberries was delicious. The waiter was just okay as was the salmon entree. I opted the salmon without the puff pastry. The fish had absolutely no flavor.. The green beans and leeks accompanied were delicious. When the waiter asked if I was going to eat the rest of my fish I said I was underwhelmed. He thanked me and said he told the kitchen and they threw it all out it....really? This was an odd comment to make as I'm sure they didn't throw it all out they just put it in a puff pastry for someone else. Had they seasoned the fish it may have been much better. . I had asked for a recommendation on a red blend and the waiter just handed over the drink menu without recommendation, not helpful or seemingly not knowledgeable about wine. The staff helping him serve were great! The outdoor seating with the faux fur shoulder wraps was a great touch, cute restaurant. We will be back.

    The food is good, but it's not extraordinary for the prices they charge. The service is great, and so is the ambiance. The inside seating area is VERY limited, so expect to sit outside. You might be able to snag seating inside if you make reservations a couple of weeks ahead of time, but be prepared to be in a loud and crowded environment if you sit inside. They have a nice outside patio with fans and misters, so it's kinda comfortable - even in August. They're good, but not that good. Save this place for restaurant week when you can get a good deal. Reservations are definitely recommended - even if you want to sit outside. They really are that busy.

    Enjoying a fine meal at Outlaw Kitchens is like a treasure hunt: the menu changes often, but has limited choices, so you want to check ahead and go on a day when they are offering something you like. Also, the best possible experience is dining on the patio in good weather, but this is Texas so the weather is variable. The patio has a misting system to cool things down, and the patio faces east so it's shady in the evening. Ordering the prix fixe menu gets you an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert. They offer a vegetarian entree, too. You can choose a set of alcoholic drink pairings or just get soda or water. The food has a farm-to-table feel: fresh ingredients, well prepared, with just enough sauces, seasonings, etc. The staff treat you like you are a neighbor stopping by. The restaurant is located in a historic residential neighborhood, and many of the clients are locals. It's casual with a bit of an old money feel. There are always families, and the patio is kid friendly.

    The ambiance here is so charming. Our server was very nice and attentive. The food was perfect, I can't wait to go back. The menu rotates so there's always something new. They were able to alter the menu for the tables gluten allergy when we went which we really appreciated. You will need a reservation, it's so worth it. There's plenty of free street parking all around the surrounding neighborhood.

My wife and I went to Supper at Hotel Emma for our anniversary, and we couldn't have asked for a better evening. We sat at the kitchen bar, which ended up being one of the highlights of the night. It was so much fun watching the chefs work, and everyone in the kitchen was incredibly friendly, personable, and welcoming. To make the night even more special, they prepared a few dishes specifically for our anniversary. That personal touch meant so much to us and made the entire evening feel truly memorable. The food was excellent, but what really stood out was the experience and the people. Supper went above and beyond to make our anniversary feel special, and we left feeling like we had celebrated somewhere truly unique. I'd highly recommend Supper at Hotel Emma for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion. If you're lucky enough to sit at the kitchen bar, definitely do it!

We chose to sit at the kitchen counter, where the chefs were prepping for the change over to the late shift crew. They shared complimentary samples of the beef tips paired with a perfectly juicy tomato. We had a pureed soup (squash maybe?), amazing toasted seeds on top. Can't even remember it all in the haze of how satisfied we felt with every bite.

We all ordered meals including steak and shrimp cooked perfectly and seasoned perfectly paired with loaded mashed which was enough for two. Two of us opted for the chicken fried steak. Seasoned and fried to a crisp golden with white gravy and a large heap of skin on mashed that were creamy and delicious. One fried shrimp platter hot and good. One fried catfish which was also prepared perfectly paired with cocktail sauce but they added on the tartar sauce. One kid had sirloin and mashed and she finished the entire steak. One chicken fried chicken which was also good. The portion sizes are generous , hot and fresh.

    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.
