Biga on the Banks absolutely delivered a five-star experience from start to finish…read more When we first walked in, the restaurant was completely empty aside from my dining companions, but as the evening went on, the place steadily filled up -- and by the end of the night it was buzzing with energy. It was clear we were in the right spot. The curtains were drawn when we arrived, creating a cozy, intimate atmosphere. Then, after the sun set over the Bexar County Courthouse, the curtains were opened and we were treated to a beautiful view of the River Walk. The timing couldn't have been more perfect -- it completely elevated the evening. Service was outstanding. Toryn was our server, and his approach was relaxed, friendly, and professional. He checked in periodically without ever being intrusive, and our water glasses were refilled constantly without us having to ask. The entire front-of-house team worked seamlessly together and made us feel genuinely taken care of. We also were given a lovely bread service. And the food -- absolutely delicious. The starters were phenomenal and set the tone for the meal. The meats were cooked perfectly -- flavorful, tender, and beautifully executed. Every course felt thoughtful and well-prepared. From the atmosphere to the service to the food, Biga on the Banks exceeded expectations. I would absolutely return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience on the River Walk. Five stars all the way.

This place in amazingly AVERAGE! Average service, average atmosphere and average food!…read more Nothing stands out, we could tell you a single thing about the dinner that was a head shaking approval. For such a high priced place the service is not even close to commensurate. Feels more like a Applebees level service. Additionally, things like serving bread that is cold, overcooking the meat - despite being supposedly the chefs preferred and recommend temp! The only nice option is that there is a 3 course fixed price menu that is relatively decently priced if you are ok with the options. But your meat won't be cook properly. Big pass from now on.

Camp Outpost has a lot of things going for it. The design is cozy and inviting with a great outdoor…read morespace. The open kitchen concept works despite the narrow layout. I got the Camp Burger and Street Corn. The food presentation is good. Portions were generous relative to cost. The burger itself was a bit on the dry side, and the bread overpowered what could've been some solid flavor. The corn was cooked great, but a bit heavy on the acid, so the other flavors you expect from quality street corn were a bit lost. Simple tweaks, and this could be a standout comfort-food spot. Taste and Flavor: 3 Presentation: 4 Creativity: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Overall: 3.4/5 Won't return when in town, but it was not an unpleasant experience. The place is relaxing, and I'd like to rate it higher, but overall, the food itself left a little to be desired.

Update to first review below, rating updated from a 3 to a 5 star (drinks & bartender would get 10+…read morestars if we could rate that high): Saturday night: Went back for after dinner drinks at the Downstairs (a "speakeasy" throwback, look up the history of the place to see why). Drinks were AMAZING! Bartender Rob made the best Negroni I've ever had. I asked him to use whatever gin he thought best--result was an artistic smooooooth full-bodied drink. Told him when I was done I'd lick the glass if it wasn't considered so uncouth for a 'mature' lady like myself to do so Hubby's Buffalo Trace bourbon old fashioned was also outstanding. Rob was the bartender last night who did such a great job, and his work was even better tonight. We highly recommend The EsquireTavern for excellent cocktails. We love the long wood bar and high copper ceiling upstairs, but love the intimate speakeasy atmosphere downstairs even more. We'll definitely be back every time we're in San Antonio! First review, Friday night: Drinks were great (Manhattan and Bourbon Old Fashioned). REAL drinks, no complaints at all about those. And the bartenders were very friendly and helpful. Those aspects of the Esquire get 5+ stars from us. But the appetizers were not good, close to inedible. It was about 8:30pm or so, so maybe they were getting ready to close out the kitchen but the chalupitas with chicken tasted like rubber, and no flavor at all. The seafood platter had something in it that was breading with shell inside, but no meat of any kind. We couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be. The shrimp was good and the fish was good but those other things... We'll always love the drinks, the long wooden bar, and the ambiance at the Esquire Tavern, but we'll eat somewhere else and come here for before or after dinner drinks. (See update above to this review for when we returned the next night for after dinner drinks.)

Had a few of excellent beers - but the restaurant is all about beer, I'm sure every beer lover will be able to find something for themselves.

Outstanding service, very attentive, friendly, helpful, prompt. Highly recommended.

I've been to many yard house locations (typically on a concert day) and they are usually a well…read moreoiled machine. This location however I think needs a training refresh. Typically when you sit down at the yard house bar, the bartenders usually clean off the bar with a wet towel and remove the sticky beer/food from the previous patrons and then put down the place settings and black napkin settings. None of that happened. They also always card everyone in the party, I didn't see them card anyone in the bar this night. While there were plenty of staff (in different color shirts - white, black and grey) behind the bar not one person said hello, welcomed anyone on our side of the bar or made eye contact. They were more focused on cleaning the glasses than taking our order. It was just odd. Getting past that, I enjoyed the local cider selection (kiwi strawberry) and my husband enjoyed the Belgium golden ale house beer). Food was great as well we enjoyed the boneless wings Korean style, Miguel's queso and ahi sashimi. Delicious. I also enjoyed the music videos playing on one of the tvs that was so fun. Bathrooms were clean but both needed work. In the women's, I noticed the vacant/occupied switches were not in working order as some of the signs said occupied but they were not; and the ones that said vacant were occupied. My husband noticed that there was no soap or towels in the men's bathroom. It's the little things. Even if you are crowded you should be staffed well enough to take care of these things.

It's crazy to me I haven't reviewed Cappy's before. Admittedly it's been a couple years since I had…read moregone since I'm always looking for something new, but as I sat and ate today I was kicking myself. Cappy's is so delicious. I used to go very often. They're a little on the pricier side but so worth it. It's beautiful inside and outside. Staff very friendly and accommodating. I won't wait so long again to go back. My go to meal the is Howard. Scrambled eggs with crab topped with a lobster tail. So so good. Even the little bread/muffin basket they serve you before the meal is great. Lemonade is delicious. My son had pancakes and bacon and inhaled them. His mother always gets the pot roast. She wasn't disappointed. I will say although the gumbo is decent, it's not the best I've had. The roux is very dark which gives it a slight burned taste. But the flavors are there. All in all love Cappy's. I won't make the mistake of staying away so long again.

The ambiance at Cappy's was great, and we were warmly welcomed when we arrived for our reservation…read more We had a drink at the bar while waiting for our friends, and the bartenders and staff there were friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, the experience changed once we were seated. Our waiter was incredibly short and came across as rude throughout the meal. When we asked for recommendations or some of his favorite menu items, his response was essentially, "I don't know what you like," rather than offering any guidance. The service somehow felt rushed even though the food itself came out slowly, and there were very few check-ins during the meal. When it came time for dessert, we asked to see a dessert menu and were simply told, "It's on the menu you have," which summed up the lack of hospitality we experienced at the table. I ordered the Mustang Chicken, and unfortunately it was very disappointing. The chicken was fatty, full of tendon, and tasted more like a frozen piece of chicken that had been dropped into a deep fryer than something I would expect from a restaurant at this price point. It's disappointing because the restaurant has a great atmosphere and our experience at the bar started off so well. Unfortunately, between the table service and the quality of the food, I would not recommend Cappy's based on this visit.
