    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.

    We have been to The Boiler House several times. Our visit before this last one want that great. Service was lacking. But, last night you guys nailed. We had excellent service. Our waiter who had several tables did a great job in balancing them all and also the help from other staff members just made the experience that much better. Of course the food was amazing, we had the Squid for an appetizer which was amazing and then the wife and I both had the Elk Chop, which was amazing. The waiter convinced us to try the Bread pudding and wow, 3 for 3. We will definitely be back soon. Thanks for the great and friendly service.
