For a starter we shared the cornbread with another couple and it was plenty for 4 people. If you are from out of town and looking for some Texas-shaped vittles or just want something substantial to stretch your meal I recommend it! Very tasty and filling. For my main I had the scallops with creamed corn risotto. It was a dainty portion but the flavors were nice. My husband had the short rib tagliatelle which he loved. It was very rich and filling. We had the buttermilk pie again for dessert and this time it tasted sweeter than I remembered. It was good but we couldn't finish it. Idk if it was my tastebuds or if it was different. Anyways still a great meal overall and we will be back!

We visited Four Brothers while in San Antonio to celebrate our niece earning her master's degree in…read moreHealth Administration from the University of Phoenix, and overall, we had a really nice experience. The restaurant was busy, which was understandable given the River Walk location and the time of evening. It did take a little while initially for our server to come over and for things to get moving, and after being out celebrating all day, we were definitely getting a little anxious. But once John took care of us, he absolutely turned the experience around. John was phenomenal. He was gracious, polite, personable, and attentive without being overbearing. He acknowledged our niece's graduation and made the dinner feel like part of the celebration. One of the sweetest moments was when our nephew mentioned wanting fruit after seeing the berries with our champagne. John overheard him and brought him a small container of fruit. It was such a thoughtful gesture and completely unexpected. Now, the Texas cornbread.....CHEF'S KISS. It came in a Texas-shaped cast-iron skillet and had a light jalapeño flavor that wasn't overpowering at all. Even my husband, who isn't big on jalapeño, enjoyed it. The honey served alongside it, complete with the little honey sticks, was another nice touch. My niece had the Caesar salad with steak, and listen.....they were not playing with the Parmesan . It was generous, flavorful, and beautifully presented. My husband had the burger, which also came out really nicely. I liked that the lettuce, tomato, and onion were served separately so he could build it the way he wanted instead of everything being piled together. Even the small Heinz ketchup bottle was a cute detail. Overall, the food was good, the presentation was thoughtful, and John's service really made the evening memorable. The slow start was the only drawback, but he more than made up for it. Definitely a solid experience, especially if you're looking for a nice meal along the River Walk.

Update to first review below, rating updated from a 3 to a 5 star (drinks & bartender would get 10+…read morestars if we could rate that high): Saturday night: Went back for after dinner drinks at the Downstairs (a "speakeasy" throwback, look up the history of the place to see why). 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.)

Maybe even a little confusing, but I think it's all part of its charm. 100% take the recommendations from the server they know their way around that.

Such a good night, me and my friends are still raving about it!

This isn't flashy it's honest, bold, and unapologetically Texan. The food lands like a punch: brisket smoked to perfection, chili‑glazed short ribs that demand attention, and Gulf red snapper with chorizo crust that makes your mouth sit up. Sides and sauces? No filler, just full‑flavored allies. The drinks are sharp, strong, and right. Mezcal Old Fashioneds, tequila‑bright margaritas, and cocktails that feel like they've seen the world but still know how to have fun. Service doesn't hover it knows the rhythm. The River Walk hums outside, music drifts in, and every bite and sip feels like it belongs to this place. Five stars. Bold, beautiful, and unmistakably Texas.

I used to go very often. They're a little on the pricier side but so worth it. It's beautiful inside and outside. Staff very friendly and accommodating. I won't wait so long again to go back. My go to meal the is Howard. Scrambled eggs with crab topped with a lobster tail. So so good. Even the little bread/muffin basket they serve you before the meal is great. Lemonade is delicious. My son had pancakes and bacon and inhaled them. His mother always gets the pot roast. She wasn't disappointed. I will say although the gumbo is decent, it's not the best I've had. The roux is very dark which gives it a slight burned taste. But the flavors are there. All in all love Cappy's. I won't make the mistake of staying away so long again.
