    My husband and I ate here for dinner before attending an event at the Majestic. The waiter was attentive and asked if we were attending a show in order to plan delivery of the meal accordingly to the time we had to leave. We shared the cornbread based on reviews we had read, and were very impressed. It was lovely. We shared the Dino rib for 2 which comprised of a large rib, Mac and cheese, and slaw. We also ordered a side of BBQ fries. The Dino rib was a bit salty for me but my husband loved it. Good bark and tender meat. The Mac and cheese was very good, and the slaw was okay. We both enjoyed the fries which were shoestring fries with a bbq seasoning - slightly sweet. Overall, the service was great and food was surprisingly better than expected for a Riverwalk hotel restaurant. We would definitely recommend and will be back for sure.

    I cannot recommend this restaurant enough! First of all, the vibes are incredible. The restaurant is smaller and feels more intimate. The service is wonderful (shoutout to you, Grace). Everything we ordered was incredible, so I don’t think you could ever go wrong. For how nice of a place this was and how good the food is, the price was very reasonable. This is our new favorite place to eat! This is some of the BEST food I’ve had in SA.

    Our Valentines dinner was perfect in every regard! Francisco our server was attentive, the food was delicious and the ambiance ( fireside) was exquisite. They even provided the ladies with a rose. After dinner a rousing Mexican band was playing. Couldn’t have put together a better evening!
