Happy hour goes from 6 to 9 for this wags and Wine event. The profits go to a rescue of the month. We went for just tapas and a drink. Next time I will definitely get the paella. We had the sangria which was on point. It was not overly sweet. We the papas braves, crab and shrimp stack, the pizza, and the calamari. The sauce for the potatoes was definitely spicy and I'm glad they put it on the side and not the drench the potatoes with it. The potatoes on their own have good flavor. The crab stack was a good size and it had a good amount of fresh avocado. The calamari was great. The pizza was topped with tomatoes, artichokes, mushrooms. The owner was super nice and brought our dogs tapaws. It was just Greek yogurt with peanut butter, but my dogs enjoyed it. They have live music starting on Thursdays. They have inside and outside seating. Their outside seating is covered.They do have fans as well to keep you cool. Parking is available on site but shared with the other businesses. Parking is no issue.

So this was my second visit. I liked it a lot the first time so since I was running errands in town…read moreI decided to stop. I remembered nice margaritas and a nice happy hour menu with flavorful food. I was too early for HappyHour but still got a margarita and an appetizer. Let me just say this. As a business owner I dont think its fair to give a "1 star' review for a single visit unless its something egregious. There was no one else in the restaurant when I got there so I sat at the bar. Here is the important part. I dont expect 1st class service anytime I walk into a restaurant. Its great when it happens. But bare minimum service is important. And its important for the business AND the server. People come back! People order more and increase bith revenue and tips. If you sling me a menu, say nothing, no water, no follow up on how things are just set my food down and ignore anything that looks like customer service.... thats bad for everyone. Im not going to tank the review. The margarita was good, the appetizer was good. I thought about just doing a late lunch but that would also require a follow up... In an empty restaurant with nothing going on? Everyone has a bad day, as a business owner I understand that even in my off days the customer better never know it. I went from excited to take the detour out of my way to " well I wont go out of my way for this again"

I enjoyed the food the service, and the atmosphere, Savor was spectacular…read more My server was on point for my personality. My server was excellent good communication he was personable. We made a connection even though it was temporary he provided me with a level of comfort, relax me. The type of expectation that you expect from the culinary Institute, you are catching people at the start of their careers when they're excited, enthusiastic, and sincerely want to do their best. It was five star service. Michelin star restaurant. I am a very organic person and down to Earth and I appreciate a server that I can talk to and who is not so formal that it becomes unpleasant, the server remaining professional. I highly recommend if you're in the pearl district of San Antonio, Texas please give Savor a try.

This review I dug up is from a while ago, things may have changed…read more February 2020 was my first time at Savor (CIA) restaurant in the Pearl complex of San Antonio. By going on a Wednesday (around 7:30 PM) we were able to find parking and be seated without a reservation, but I recommend planning ahead other nights as the area gets very busy (and noting their hours). It was a pretty compact space, no lighting issues, but also quite noisy. My companion and I had to concentrate on each other to carry on conversation. We each ordered the four course menu, which lets you pick one of an item from each course, and I added a wine flight. We each took a bite of each other's food for maximum exploration. Keep in mind this is a training restaurant, and part of the proceeds go toward culinary scholarships. I can distill the experience into three points: The food was very good, the chefs-in-training are talented; The wine flight was disappointing; The server was warm but still in need of training. Dishes I got to try include the Hamachi Crudo, Steamed Blue Mussels, Tartar Brulee, Strip Sirloin, Grilled Pork Tenderloin and Belly, and Chocolate Souffle. The Hamachi was excellent, as were the mussels with potatoes and garlic (someone didn't share her chorizo with me). The main course strip sirloin was also excellent, and better than the grilled pork I chose. The steak was tender and moist. I gravitate toward pork belly items, but this pork was a tad dry. The chocolate souffle wowed my partner, but I found the cocoa note not to be to my liking, perhaps too bitter. I should add that the plates are quite small, so you may not leave full if you're very hungry. Before going into the negative, let me say the food was a fun experience, and I'd go back for another multi-course meal, or to explore the bar bites menu. The wine flight was a letdown, as it was small pours of mild wine, served with two word descriptions, one of which was plain wrong. I don't drink much wine, but I've had enough to know that these wines were probably chosen to be the least offensive. A small pour of a bold drink can have quite some value, but the small pours exacerbated the boringness. The wine service largely informs my opinion the server needs improvement/was likely early on her training rotation. I also had to plate swap with my companion when I was served her mussels. People trying and improving are to be expected at a training or test kitchen, so I appreciate her effort and ability to keep my water glass at least half full. We ended up being quite happy with the food and experience, which was good overall as a date night, but could've been better with a revamp of the wine pairing, or me electing not to have wine. I can't see myself going on my own given the price point of the courses, but I like to treat my partner. I'd recommend it if you're curious about the budding chefs or specific menu items, but be wary of the wine flight.

Accidentally found this lively Spanish restaurant and bar on a Friday night after meeting some…read morefriends earlier for dinner. Located in La Cantera and with a large red Toro aka Bull in front cannot miss it. Sat at the bar for an after dinner wine and their signature 86 cocktail. Service was friendly and even had live Spanish music . Their authentic Spanish menu was definitely worth a visit but cannot comment on food till next visit. This is a beautiful area to walk at night with many shops and absolutely will visit next time in SA.

From the moment you approach the restaurant- Not even walk in- you are greeted by a professional and hospitable staff. In the front 2 young workers gave us sangria samples and helped take my photo. So smiley and kind. Then I checked into my table at the host stand. Our table was in a gorgeous lit room by the stairs. The inside was so breathtakingly beautiful and clean . The restrooms as well. Our server Omar quickly filled our drink cups with cold water and took our actual drink order. They have premium lemomades and also fountain drinks with free refills. When he returned he gave us great recommendations from their 8 dollar tapas menu on happy hour (M-F 3-6). We ordered 3: Tacos de Cochinita Pibil / Slow cooked pork marinated in achiote sauce . Calamares Fritos / Fried steak calamari w/ alioli sauce ... Albondigas / Five Spanish pork meatballs marinated in wine tomato sauce with bread .... The bread with the meatballs should be toasted and it was cold. The calamari were AMAZING. Not chewy at all. And tacos unique and flavorful. It took a while to decide but with Omar's guidance and a lot of research beforehand, I reccomend large parties order these to get the best tasting experience: Parrillada Española / Spanish grilled feast with morcilla, 4oz Spanish sirloin, chistorra, three fried jumbo shrimp, and poached potatoes with alioli Toro Paella / Toro's Classic recipe voted best in San Antonio! Jumbo shrimp, mussels, chicken, calamari, pork belly & spanish chorizo . The grilled platter came out first very fast and the meats were delectable. Love the sausage. Again... toast the bread but everything else was delicious. The paella didn't take long at all. It lived up to our expectations. Delicious and hot, enough to fill us up with whatever room was left. The nicest part was Omar brought us complimentary shots of some sort of strawberry cocktail with a chili rim. He was so thoughtful and brought my sister who was 12 a non alcoholic version. We cheered to a good time. It was so good!!! Then we asked for dessert recommendations. Omar suggested the Torrijas / Classic spanish dessert, bread soaked in sweet cream, fried & drizzled in honey .. so that's what we got. It was SO yummy like tres leches French toast. With their website you get a 30 dollar off first visit coupon using the inkind app. I signed up and it worked perfectly. After the discount all that food came out to $150. Insane for a party of 5. I tipped 30 and using that inkind app got 30 dollars cash back to use anywhere on the app. But ill use it here. Come to TORO for a great time. Linger. Talk. Enjoy unique flavors. Felt like going to Spain.

And it had no flavor. Seriously the refried beans on the table were the best thing I had...I should have gone to chilis... $260 for 6 of us (3 kids) and I'm legitimately embarrassed that I picked this place for how tasteless it was.

I arrived without a reservation, but that wasn't going to work so I made one about an hour ahead and just waited it out. I'm glad I did. The swordfish Asada was delectable and all of the accoutrements that come with it take the whole thing to another level. I couldn't decide between the white mole cauliflower and guacamole to start so I got both. It would be hard to imagine not having either as they are both really special dishes. The tortillas and honey butter that came out are basically like having your dessert early. I think the highlight of my meal was that I was eating a green onion, and one of the servers walked by and in the nicest possible way suggested that I didn't know how to properly eat it. He was correct as it turns out, after he showed me how they did it around the kitchen table growing up I enjoyed them so much more. Both super cool and brave of him to suggest. Can't wait for my next visit. Absolutely stellar. If you're on the fence about eating here, get off the damn fence and make a reservation.
