    Axis Venison

    Five stars all around Signature knows how to serve a meal. From the drinks down to the dessert, everything was incredibly tasty. The server was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. 10/10, no notes.

    Such a stunning dinner experience that we decided to go back for brunch the very next day! Signature was such a nice experience with amazing food, unique but balanced dishes, and a wonderful staff. Our food was beyond excellent and the restaurant itself was beautiful and very open concept.

    Quail Appetizer

    Excellent fine dining experience at Signature. This was my first visit for dinner. I appreciated how well their team worked together to ensure every detail was covered. Our server was Aaron and he was attentive without being intrusive. He was able to share menu recommendations and didn't steer us wrong. Prior to the appetizer we enjoyed the amuse bouche, which was a new dining experience. It is a small taste to awaken the palate. A French term which roughly translates to "amuse the mouth". This highly seasoned savory broth truly cleared my senses and was a nice start to the meal. We enjoyed the quail appetizer, venison and short ribs for dinner. I did wish their selection of salad and light appetizers was more broad. However, the quail with greens and cornbread polenta was a delicious start. And the short ribs literally melted in our mouths. The atmosphere in Signature is elegant and cozy. There was a roaring fire in the fireplace this January evening. However I think it presents best in Spring for patio dining due to the gardens and lovely view. I greatly enjoyed it for my birthday dinner. and their complementary birthday desserts were a generous and lovely surprise. It is also great for business dining, however it would not be my first choice for a romantic date night due to the close proximity of the indoor tables. If you are looking for a well paced dining experience with delicious food and attention to detail, Signature is a high end yet affordable choice.

    Signature has become one of my favorite spots in San Antonio. Although the prices are on the higher end, it's well worth it! The food, service, and ambiance was right on parking. A great spot for a romantic anniversary dinner or any other celebrations. We chose to have the Chef John Carpenter's Tasting Menu for dinner, which is the perfect 8 course meal to try a little bit of everything. Portions were spot on, where you feel full, but not overwhelmingly. The amuse bouche and thr Ora King Salmon were my favorites, where I think the flavor profile really stood out. The amuse bouche include foie gras and and tuna, which was perfectly paired with flavors to help the juices going for the meal. The quail and the scallops & pork belly were both good, but I felt like the food was lacking a little bit of flavor. My favorite part of the meal was the temperature of my food. Freshly cooked food was warm/hot and cold food came out as it was supposed to. A lot of restaurants with Michelin 1 stars miss this and I was deeply impressed! Also, our server was very attentive and made sure each course was coming on a timely manner. I really want to come back in the next season to try other dishes!

    Birthday celebration for my husband. We ate outside on their beautiful patio. The space was lovely, comfortable and we were the only ones out there. We ordered the octopus, beef tartare, and pork belly appetizers and enjoyed them all. The sauces were exceptional. For our entrees we ordered the halibut and the red fish. The halibut was wonderful in a really tasty beurre blanc sauce. The red fish was not enjoyed by either of us but when we mentioned it (when they cleared our table and saw it on the plate) they graciously took it off our bill. It was an overall excellent experience.

    I had an outstanding experience here that fully exceeded my expectations for a San Antonio restaurant. I figured it would be nice, but the experience I had was wonderful. There is a somewhat small dining room that looks into the open kitchen and also over the golf course of La cantera resort so the scenery is gorgeous to begin with. The service is incredible with knowledgeable waitstaff who can assist with choices about wine or from the menu. The entire experience is very curated like a fine dining restaurant and very farm to table as well. The pork belly appetizer was melt in your mouth delicious. Now it is pricey and could be difficult to get a reservation so I would say this is a place for special occasions. Highly recommend checking this place out!

    Spectacular meal from start to finish. Entrees and appetizers were delicious. The palette cleanser black pepper strawberry sorbet was a delight. Even the butter was special...

    Everything you want in a fine dining restaurant! Located in a beautiful building with large windows overlooking a lush field. I love the vibes when you walk in - makes you feel like you're on a relaxing vacation! The service is impeccable, with servers bringing citrus for your water, being attentive without being overwhelming, and you can count on them to not forget a thing! The food is GREAT! We came here for dinner and brunch and everything we had was high quality and unique. Worth every penny!

    Short ribs, with a scallop added on
    Sarah K.

    Loved this place! We were staying at La Cantera and decided to have dinner in their Signature restaurant. Our waiter, Jacob, was AMAZING! Super friendly and knowledgeable about the food and the wine, and he put up with a loud group of girls (us) all night and made our evening that much more fun! Now for the food... ridiculously good! The presentation of each plate was beautiful, but the taste of everything was out of this world! The short rib was like butter, and I was curious about the scallops, so he let me add one to my plate to try (it was perfection). The octopus appetizer and the venison were my next favorite things! We all got different plates and plates for sharing and everyone was happy with all of the orders! It's a little pricey, but definitely worth it! Will be back there again for dinner the next time I stay at La Cantera-it's a must!

    Always a pleasure to dine here! The service is consistently great. Starting with the wonderful hostess, to the waiters, and everyone we interacted with. The food was a set menu for nye. The risotto was a bit salty for my palate, but all the other dishes were great. I look forward to dine here again!

    The experience at Chef Carpenter's Signature restaurant had a great start, but definitely lost steam towards the end. Driving up the road to the restaurant, there is a choice of parking spots around the front of the restaurant. I suppose they also have valet. You'll enter a vintage space. A nice floral display was present, and we checked in, letting them know we had a reservation for the tasting menu. A couple of couches and the bar area are not far from the entrance. The upstairs area is open and accessible, check it out if you get a chance. We were seated at a large circular table. Water was poured, and a team member came by to infuse based on choices from a platter: a choice of cucumber, lemon, mint, and orange. We opted for cucumber, lemon, and mint. We were presented with all the menus they had. We confirmed we were going for the tasting menu sans the wine pairing, but decided to grab non-alcoholic and alcoholic cocktails: Sunset in the Tropics, and Signature Smash. Sunset was very much passion fruit based. The Smash had more interesting and refreshing flavors. The peach essence was actually quite light; the other components melded together seamlessly. 1. The Amuse Bouche was some kind of acorn-squash-pumpkin chowder one-biter. Creamy and yummy, but not too memorable. It came with a piece of bread, and that bread came with onion ash butter shaped like the layers of an onion. The butter had a great oniony, almost black peppery flavor. 2. The Tuna: blood orange, sweet potato, charred corn, passion fruit. Refreshing, sour, and spicy. Sourness from the passion fruit was prominent. They told me the orange dollops were sweet potato, but I couldn't really tell. Flavor was pretty much like Sunset in the Tropics, but with some capsaicin. 3. Scallop & Ostera Caviar: celery root, garlic chips, yuzu beurre blanc. Scallop was a scallop, though one of the scallops was fishy. The sauce had a great flavor. Slightly tart, buttery, and savory. 4. Pork Belly: poblano creamed corn, picked peppers, black garlic molasses. Arguably the star of the night. Great textures, a crisp meat portion, with melt in your mouth fat that is slightly sweet; undertone of the poblano creamed corn. 5. Intermezzo: something passion fruit sorbet--they used quite a bit of passion fruit in the menu 6. Prime Tenderloin: potato fondant, onion soubise, maitake mushroom, truffle red wine jus. Sorry to say, this one was the letdown of the night. Unseasoned steak, and the potatoes just tasted like potatoes boiled in water. No, the sauce did not help overcome the blandness. These were very disappointing bites. 7. Banana Roulade: coffee chocolate cake, banana pastry cream, caramel, vanilla wafer ice cream. A decent dessert. The sugared banana chip was neat. 8. Petite Fours: interestingly, this came as a single serving, rather than in pairs. I mean, they were all pretty sweet. I didn't have a favorite among them. It was a lackluster ending. Conclusion: strong start, lackluster finish to the tasting menu (including service attitudes). Decor and interior design are great. Clean bathrooms. Open kitchen, with hanging pots and pans. Weird stuff going on with the lighting though: dimming and brightening throughout the night. The staff work pretty efficiently. Sorta neat upstairs area.

    This is a beautiful restaurant starting with the atmosphere being so warm like you're in a cabin kitchen in the woods. You can tell the employees really care about the experience and the atmosphere as everyone was very welcoming. We had a reservation and were immediately welcomed with refreshing water with your choice of garnish. The cocktail menu is well crafted and the wine menu is excellent! Grace who was amazing and so knowledgeable about the menu was our server and made amazing suggestions based on my preferences. She was also very attentive and friendly which made our entire experience exceptional. Appetizers, the heirloom carrots and grilled Spanish Octopus were so tasty and flavorful. You can tell the Chef really took time to include various flavors but still with its uniqueness. The bread is dangerously good with their homemade butter. We also had the risotto which was comforting. The stars of the dinner were the Halibut & Venison. The Halibut was cooked to perfection, the flavors were so buttery and I loved the flavors with it. My favorite fish in San Antonio! The Venison had an amazing reduction sauce & the texture was not gamey, it was like eating a filet mignon and we ate both plates clean. Try the Banana dessert at the end which was the icing on top! The manager Layton came and checked in on us to make sure we were happy, the servers all helped each other making sure our waters were never empty and we always had clean plates and utensils. This is was one of my favorite restaurant experiences in San Antonio. It was a perfect Birthday celebration, I'd recommend to anyone who is looking to experience delicious and high quality cuisine.

    What is the dress code for men in the summer?

    Business casual, country club casual, it can be formal if you choose but not required.

    What is the dress code? Would jeans be ok?

    Casual/ formal. Jeans are ok.

    Would it be okay to bring small children here during brunch? Are high chairs available?

    I would definitely NOT bring kids here. This is fine dining, and not something they would enjoy.

We walked in without a reservation, and I really appreciate that they were able to accommodate us with outdoor seating. The patio had a fun, upbeat atmosphere and was a great place to spend the evening. The drinks were generally very well made, once they were prepared correctly. The food, however, was just okay. I had the cheeseburger with an egg, and while it was decent, it wasn't particularly memorable. The standout was definitely the fries, especially paired with the spicy ketchup. Unfortunately, the biggest issue was the service. Since we were seated outside, it felt like our table was forgotten. We sat for at least 15 minutes without proper plates, napkins, or silverware and had to ask multiple times before everyone was taken care of. We never had enough water glasses for the entire table, drink service was slow throughout the meal, and at one point I walked to the bar myself because my Old Fashioned had been made with agave and was far too sweet. I also had to track down our server just to get the check. Overall, I appreciate that they accommodated a large walk-in party, and the atmosphere and drinks were enjoyable. However, the combination of mediocre food and inattentive service left us disappointed. I don't think I'd return, as it felt like our table was simply forgotten once we were seated outside.

Immediately upon walking in I fell in love with the rustic yet elegant decor (those chandeliers tho). My girlfriends and I sat at the bar and enjoyed great service during our entire 3 hour visit there. The cocktail and bites we enjoyed were all delicious. During happy hour there are select cocktail and bites you can enjoy for $7 each. My drink of choice for the evening was the perfectly balanced Berry Smash . I was torn on bites but ended up going with the Happy Hour sliders and the pork belly appetizer from the regular menu. Both were soooo good...particularly the Pork Belly which was a perfect blend of sweet, spicy, and savory. This visit redeemed Haywire in my eyes and I'm looking forward to returning during regular hours to explore more of the menu during dinner service.

Located in La Cantera and adjacent to Perry's, it's a large location but parking can be a bit tricky at times. It's loud, so don't come here if you're looking for quiet and intimate. More or less a hang out, kick it with friends kinda vibe. By the door, they have chewy caramels that you can nosh on while waiting for your table or to grab on your way out. Maybe we did both? lol they even sell some small apothecary type stuff as well. Ok let's get to the food! We got the crab cake and the colossal cinnamon roll to start. The kids loved the colossal cinnamon roll. Perfectly balanced with a toffee sauce and spiced pecans. Husband wanted savory so he got the crab cake. It's not Maryland style but it uses gulf crab and a mustardy-seed mix. He and the eldest really enjoyed it! Me, I liked the pickled onions and frisée. I got the steak & eggs hash with a sunny side up egg and medium steak. The steak was just right and had a good flavor. The shishito peppers could've used a touch of salt but they were a good contrast to the crispy fried potatoes, which were large chunks by the way. If only I could have a whole saucier of the avocado hollandaise . It was delicious on the potatoes and the steak! The shrimp and grits were definitely diff from the version we had last year but we liked it! Very vibrant and fresher tasting! The eldest had chicken and waffle. Comes with 2 tenders, 2 eggs your way (she chose sunny side), 1 waffle, syrup and creamy sausage gravy. I normally don't care for sausage gravy but this was NTS! The youngest had the kids Macaroni and cheese, which comes with your choice of 1 side (we chose green beans). We were pleasantly surprised to see it also came with carrots, which she happily ate. Like and crunchy green beans with a creamy and cheesy Mac! Servers don't hover and there's plenty walking around if you need to grab someone's attention for something.

Overall a decent experience and I'll be back for my next quarterly Surpass credit.
