Went for Valentine’s Day, not crowded at all the service was great, food was good,drinks were strong🙂 but small and the value was great for a complete date night. Place is underrated and the crew was attentive and friendly. Only downside is that the entire menu online wasn’t available because of the fixed items available for Valentine’s Day’s night, would definitely go back to try the dishes we were looking forward to tasting!

The food is always excellent (highly recommend the "famous" green beans and the Don Po pork belly) and comes out SO quickly. Recommend a reservation to speed up wait time, but definitely worth the wait!

In terms of brunch food, but the price was fairly reasonable. It was easy to get in and out of the hotel and the Saint Anthony is a beautiful, downtown, historic San Antonio Hotel. My only complaint is that it was a bit noisy, and the server didn’t even refill our glass of water. I’d go back for the ambience and it’s in walking distance of the Majestic. So it’s a great choice before show.
