    We had a wonderful birthday dinner. Excellent wine menu. Although everything on the dinner menu sounded great we went with just one entree each, skipping appetizers. The signature dish, scallops, was out of this world and the prosciutto wrapped monk fish was unbelievably good. Best restaurant in San Antonio imo. Definitely a must for foodies or anyone who enjoys casual fine dining.

    I so love the menu choices at Bigas, especially how you can choose the smaller portion entrees which still have all the goodie sides and sauces. It's hard for me to pass up the lamb chops they are so good. This time the veal?/wine reduction sauce (my favorite part) kinda got all soaked up by the grits which were surprisingly a bit dry. I could drink that sauce! Of course we got the wild game packets for appetizer (always) and so good, fresh perfect leaves of radicchio and Bibb lettuce wrapped around delightfully seasoned ground game meat. And of course the bread basket a must, the 3 breads all are great, hard to pick a fav. My partner had the Prix fixe menu which unfortunately for him had subbed out his choice of beef tips with short rib roast which was not trimmed to his liking (fatty surround). The romaine Caesar salad choice was ok, the cheesecake desert so good (oh that caramel sauce!!!) and his wine pairings were also very good, especially the sauterne dessert wine that we had to go out and buy a bottle after! You cannot get better service anywhere than Bigas, and the corner two top table by the window with river view at Christmas, we just can't go anywhere else!

    The waiter was very nice, but not very skilled. Four people looked for the wine that I ordered off the wine list for over 15 minutes and then finally gave up and asked me to order something else. The only thing we ate was the ceviche and it was very good
