    The mango ice cream is definitely worth the visit!
    Kevin B.

    We dined here twice on our trip to San Antonio: once for a formal dinner for the conference we were attending and once just for the mango ice cream. The food was very good at the dinner, but the standout is 100% the mango ice cream. We had to come back again for the ice cream as it's easily some of the best ice cream we've ever had and we would come back for it every single time we're in the city. Make sure you try some when you're here!

    One of my favorite meals while in San Antonio was at the Colonial Room at the Menger Hotel! I struggled to find the restaurant though due to construction around the Alamo and had to stop to ask for directions twice. I was first told to enter through the Menger bar which thankfully had just opened moments before at 12 pm. Once through the bar, I had to ask the hotel front desk staff for further directions. I had made a reservation online because I was in San Antonio for a work conference and had limited time for lunch. To my surprise, it was actually just myself and two other tables during my dining experience around 12:30 on a Tuesday last week. My waitress was very attentive, and I really enjoyed my experience! The Colonial Room is historic and beautiful. I highly recommend this restaurant and then a stop at the Menger Bar before leaving the hotel!

    The Colonial Room Restaurant has a Full hot breakfast. Breakfast is more than satisfying. Lunch menu is limited. Burgers for the most part.

    Let me state this first. If it wasn't for the front desk help "Maria" I would give three stars. But because of the impeccable service that was shown towards us in all the room trouble we had, this beautiful, old, haunted hotel gets and deserves 4 Stars. If you are in San Antonio be sure to stay at "The Menger" hotel. Walk around and read about the history. The Colonial restaurant was excellent. A bit slow in service but our food was good.

    The Famous Mango Ice Cream

    The only reason we came here was to try the famous Mango Ice Cream! The 5 stars are only a review on that and the restaurant itself! It's beautiful!!! Bill Clinton had the ice cream shipped to his swearing in and this was just a fun additional fact. It's the original recipe! Not too sweet and not too tart! I would go back just for a scoop and a coffee!

    Such potential gone horribly wrong. The food had good flavor but was poorly cooked and cold. The yolks in the poached eggs were hard, the waffles were soggy, dense and hard to cut and everything was cold. The coffee was really good but everything else was disappointing. $40 ticket for a sorry breakfast

    Mimosas are delicious!

For a starter we shared the cornbread with another couple and it was plenty for 4 people. If you are from out of town and looking for some Texas-shaped vittles or just want something substantial to stretch your meal I recommend it! Very tasty and filling. For my main I had the scallops with creamed corn risotto. It was a dainty portion but the flavors were nice. My husband had the short rib tagliatelle which he loved. It was very rich and filling. We had the buttermilk pie again for dessert and this time it tasted sweeter than I remembered. It was good but we couldn't finish it. Idk if it was my tastebuds or if it was different. Anyways still a great meal overall and we will be back!

Checked Yelp for dinner suggestions so Doc drove us to the paid lot next to where all the Cinderella lit up carriages drawn by horses were lined up. It seemed the boats going up and down the River portion of the Walk were busier. While we were walking I had my eyes open for a table with a view. We stopped at Four Brothers. The receptionist went over suggestions on the menu on her outdoor podium. Cornbread in the shape of Texas, shareable items like Dino ribs for $82, plus Pork Shank and ice tea completed our order. Everyone was very friendly. We had an exceptional view and we had more than enough food that we had to ask for take out boxes. My favorite was the Mac & cheese though I'm usually not a fan. This dish used cork screw shaped pasta and it was moist and not stuck together. I had to share a photo of it with Sweetie who is in Tokyo right now. Doc liked the pimento for the cornbread. As it was almost 9 pm we decided to pass on the boat ride but just walk on the other side with shops and more eateries. We're back on the road again tomorrow to Arizona.

Firstly, we had trouble getting an uber at first and when I called the staff was very friendly and were able to hold the table a little longer which I appreciated. The menu is a mix of Asian Fusion small plates and I would have loved to have had more of a sampling of the menu but it wasn't that large of a party. The cocktails were not too sweet and perfectly balanced. The Fist of Fury was so refreshing and the Yuzu margarita was delightful! The plates come when they are ready and I have to say the food came really quick! All of it was fantastic! Surprisingly the shredded vegetable salad was amazing and one of my favorite dishes! The tamarind glaze on the Chicken Karaage was not overpowering and so tasty. The service was amazing and the vibes of the restaurant were a lot of fun. The bathrooms were down the stairs and there was a little bar off to the side. Would definitely go back! I couldn't stop talking about it the next day to anyone that would listen.

However, the hostess was so focused on keeping nine empty tables for reservations yet we finished our dinner by the time those guests arrived and she put us next to the AC vent where it was extra hot with the outdoors of 90°F...
