The place is small, intimate with a nice low light ambiance. The bartenders are well skilled in making craft cocktails or slinging shots. They have a DJ in the later hours and overall, it's a nice place to come relax while not breaking the bank. If you're in the I10 Colonade area, then stop on by for a good drink and chill vibe.

The service has consistently been exceptional, and I particularly appreciate their impressive bourbon and whiskey selection. Over the years, I've visited for everything from informal business discussions to evenings spent with close friends. The intimate lighting, softly glowing candlelight, and thoughtfully curated ambiance create a warm and sophisticated atmosphere. Combined with a moderate noise level that allows for comfortable conversation, it's an ideal setting for both meaningful catch-ups and professional engagements.

Pastiche is a place that I've always really enjoyed but I recently went and had a very bad…read moreexperience. The menu seemed to have changed the last time I went & lowered in quality significantly. I'm not sure if it was new management or a temporary condition but I would say that the drinks were nearly inedible. For example the old fashioned riff I had was bourbon, angostura bitters, and anise. It seemed to be missing a sugar component like a simple syrup. It was also smoked but the smoke was very synthetic in flavor. Additionally some of the other cocktails ordered by the group were just of a much lower quality at Pastiche. A lot of the drinks were artificially sweet & had chamoy & tajin rims. I think these drinks are good for certain places in San Antonio but I've come to expect much better from Pastiche. I'm so very bummed by this new development in what is usually a very great experience & atmosphere with some amazing cocktails. I hope this isn't the beginning of a "new pastiche"!

I took my two teenagers here after seeing the giant crispy chicken sandwich picture. It took us a…read moreminute to find the place because there's no signage up yet. (Apparently the grand opening was last week at the time I'm writing this). We switched tables almost immediately because it was wobbly. Then the chair I moved to had a big tear in the padding cover and I noticed a lot of tables being leveled with lots of coasters. What we ordered: chicken sandwich, cheese burger, chicken tenders, and jalapeño hush puppies. The hush puppies were about ping pong sized. The first two tasted a bit over cooked...not scorch-burnt, but they were dark. After getting over the darkened taste, they were really good, but not $14-good. The teen with the tenders was frustrated with how easily the breading came off his chicken. My burger was a reasonable size, and I partially got it because I love me some sautéed onions, but these were red onion and they tasted bitter. It'd been a long time since I left a burger unfinished. The other teen said he liked the chicken sandwich but he didn't love it. The size is impressive, but I'd rather have a more balanced chicken-to-breading ratio. I took a bite and it, too, was bitter. We left several bites unfinished. The waffle fries were ok, but they were Luke warm when everything else was hot. The staff were nice, but there was about 5-10 minutes when no employees were in the dining room nor at the bar. It just seems they weren't ready to leave the soft opening yet. Maybe they'll fix some things.

Ohhh boy do I regret even coming back for drinks lol. The staff here is sooo terrible and to be…read morefrank this may contribute to their eventual closure. I have no idea why I continue to do this to myself. I came in at 5pm on a Monday and ordered a drink from their "bartender" which was also my server last time. I ordered a "kamikaze cocktail served up" which is an extremely easy cocktail to make but somehow they found a way to make it incorrectly. She first served it in a shot glass and asked if I had ordered a shot and I said no. She then goes and attempts to fix it by pouring it over ice.. I struggled to even drink it and ended up passing it to my friend. When we walked in, there was only one other person, then two walked in after us despite arriving and ordering before the others I was served last. After receiving poor service and not getting what I ordered twice we decided to go to an actual bar. I truly hate to write this but they seriously need some new staff. I should probably add that I witnessed the evening bartender giving a patron a massage.

My wife and I went to The Modernist after seeing it on social media. There wasn't a drink menu, and…read morewe were told the idea is that you tell the bartender what you like and they make something for you. Her first drink was a lavender-style cocktail and was fine. For her second drink, she told the bartender to surprise her. He gave her a look and asked more than once if she was sure she wanted him to surprise her. Instead of making her an actual cocktail, he poured her what seemed to be a straight, extremely bitter liqueur. The whole interaction felt sarcastic and like he was intentionally messing with her rather than trying to make her something she would enjoy. What bothered me most was the attitude behind it. We weren't being rude, demanding, or causing problems. We were there to have a good time and experience the whole "tell us what you like and we'll make you something" concept. I did call the number listed for the business afterward trying to speak to someone about it. The person who answered said I had the wrong number and didn't know what I was talking about. I got angry during that call and said some things I shouldn't have, and I can admit that. But that doesn't change how disappointing the experience at the bar was. We expected a creative and welcoming experience and instead left feeling like my wife had been mocked. I hope management sees this and addresses it, because the concept of the place is great, but the way we were treated completely ruined it for us
