    I can’t imagine a lovelier Christmas dinner out. The service was excellent, the food outstanding (we had the prime rib, feast of the seven fishes, and Christmas ham) and the ambience quiet and comfortable. Highly recommend, and is definitely on my list of San Antonio restaurants to visit again.

    Enjoyed a fantastic lunch at Dean's Steakhouse bar on Christmas Eve! The lively atmosphere was filled with festive spirit, with cheerful decorations and a warm, inviting energy. We indulged in their delicious lunch specials, including a perfectly cooked burger and a refreshing lobster avocado salad. The bar staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we felt right at home. With great food, drinks, and a relaxed holiday vibe, it was the perfect way to kick off our Christmas celebrations. Highly recommend for a casual yet festive dining experience!

    Restaurant Claudine is a charming dining spot set in an old house, giving it a cozy, intimate atmosphere with several rooms to enjoy your meal. The food was absolutely amazing—my Steak and Frites was perfectly cooked, and my wife’s Halibut was a standout dish as well. I appreciate that their menu changes frequently, offering a fresh experience each visit. The only drawback was the acoustics. With so many hard surfaces and the lively energy of people talking and laughing, it was quite noisy, making it difficult to hear the server explain the menu items. Overall, if you’re seeking exceptional food in a unique setting, Restaurant Claudine is worth a visit. Just be prepared for a vibrant, bustling ambiance!
