I'm a little torn about this place. My first impression was honestly not great. When we walked in,…read morethe host, who appeared to be unoccupied, completely ignored us. We expected to at least be greeted and asked whether we wanted a table, but she simply stood there without acknowledging us. At that point, I almost wanted to leave. Instead, we decided to just seat ourselves at the bar since we clearly weren't being offered any assistance. Fortunately, the experience improved from there. The young woman working behind the bar was incredibly pleasant and welcoming. She gave us some great food recommendations, and everything we ordered was tasty. The drinks were also well made. If it weren't for the excellent service we received from the bartender, I probably would have given this place two stars--one of those stars simply because I really like the atmosphere and look of the place. Unfortunately, the host's lack of acknowledgment and hospitality made the restaurant feel unwelcoming from the moment we walked in. Overall, the food, drinks, and service at the bar were good, but the initial interaction definitely left a negative impression.

From the restaurant's website I was given the impression that it would be very busy and in demand…read more It showed no reservations available between 3 and 5 pm, so I made a 3:00 reservation. When I arrived there was no one there to seat me, so after waiting a few minutes I went and picked my own seat. The place was not busy at all -- like 90% empty. Other people came in after me and found their own seats as well. I watched the server go to their table, bring them water, etc. I had chosen a very obvious location where I could be seen from pretty much anywhere in the restaurant, but the server did not come to my table. She started clearing and wiping down tables nearby, but did not come to my table. I watched her do this for ten minutes. She spoke to customers at three other tables, but did not come to my table. I went to one of the other tables and excused myself for interrupting the diners, but I was afraid I had become invisible, an emergency I felt warranted the interruption. They assured me that they could in fact see and hear me, that I was neither invisible nor had I died and become a ghost. Phew. I'd love to tell you about the food but since I didn't even get a glass of water I can't help you. I should add that I was dressed casually but I was clean and well kempt. There were big fat hairy men in tank tops and shorts getting served, so I don't believe my appearance was the issue. Some servers don't like to serve single customers because they don't think they'll leave enough of a tip to make it worthwhile. They'd prefer singles to sit at the bar. Well I don't like sitting at the bar, and I'm a good tipper, which is also beside the point. I have to assume this is a problem with management, by which I mean a good manager corrects this kind of behavior, and if that doesn't work, fires the server. I don't generally try to get people in trouble but this person prioritized wiping down tables over serving me, when the restaurant was 90% empty. Those tables could have waited for the 90 seconds it would have taken to bring me a menu and a glass of water. So just to be extra clear, this happened on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, at 3 PM, and I sat in the dining room to the left of the bar, if you're facing the restaurant from the hotel lobby. Though judging from what I saw I don't expect anyone to care. I mean ... you didn't even have a host or hostess out front. Multiple hotel staff greeted me and even offered me water outside the restaurant, on my way in and after I walked out. I'm really struggling to find an excuse for the restaurant staff.

Show me your best Caesar salad in San Antonio and I'll put money that it's not better than here…read more That's it, that's the review lol All jokes aside, this salad is amazing. The pile of cheese, the sharp taste of anchovy that I LOVE! Chefs kiss, just order it. The pizza was great too. Nice cheese to pepperoni ratio

I was excited to check this place out because I had heard good things. Unfortunately, I feel like…read moreit's a bit overhyped. As far as the food, we had the fried mozzarella, which was essentially a log of cheese deep-fried and served over sauce. It was delicious, but the cheese-to-crust ratio was a bit heavy. The Caesar salad looked better than it tasted. It was very wet, if that makes sense, and the lettuce seemed soggy. Now for the Wagyu ragu. This almost made me have a seizure, and not in a good way. It was extremely salty and completely inedible, so we had to send it back. The waitstaff was very accommodating and agreed that the salt level was way off, so we replaced it with the carbonara. I'm not sure if that's what authentic carbonara is supposed to taste like, but I did not enjoy it. It tasted burnt to me and had too much pepper. I also didn't care for the shape of the noodles. Last, we had the Americano pizza. It was decent, but nothing to write home about. I just think that if you're going to advertise a pizza with meat on it, there should be more than one piece of sausage per slice. As far as the service, our server was fine. Not particularly friendly, but straightforward and efficient. The manager (or another server) was helpful when it came to replacing our dish. Overall, I would not go back. The location is great and the vibe is nice, but the food was a miss. Save your money and go somewhere else.

This was our very first meal we had in San Antonio, no more than an hour after getting off the…read moreplane first things first, the ceviche is un-freaking believable. The cocktails were refreshing and went down a little too easily if you catch my drift. Sitting outside on the patio was a great way to enjoy the beautiful San Antonio weather, and the service was perfect But a great way to kick off our first trip to San Antonio!

My boyfriend and I visited La Gloria on Thursday night. After having such a great experience with…read morethe culinaria week menu during lunch we decided to come back. However, this time the experience was very different in a really negative way. We arrived around 9pm. Our server took quite some time to greet us. A woman in her 40s-50s with curly black hair arrived. We placed our culinaria order right away. After some time, our entrees arrived before the appetizer. When we asked the server she just said "Oh yeah, the tostadas are coming". We were confused since the whole point is to enjoy the three course meal, but decided to let it slide. The whole time we were eating our food, we had to constantly ask for drink refills. Even though she was just conversing with another server in the middle of the restaurant. Although La Gloria at the Pearl advertises to close at 10pm, we witnessed the workers started to shut down the restaurant at 9:30pm. Turning off lights and turning people away. At that time, we received our mango cheesecake for dessert. Around 9:40, I had finished my cheesecake, however my boyfriend was half way through his. Our server then approached the table. She asked if we were going to order anything else, we said we were not and thanked her. She stood there with the toast tablet in her hands. My boyfriend asked if we could have a receipt. She said "of course", left and came back in a couple of seconds. She then put the receipt on the table and stood there. My boyfriend (who was clearly still eating) said "Thank you, we'll pay in a moment" to which she replied "Oh, it's because we are closed" and did not leave until paid AT 9:40PM. My boyfriend didn't even finish his dessert. We were very upset. She ruined the whole dining experience for us. We just paid and left. I have never had anybody in the food industry be so unprofessional at "closing time". She was not attentive to the table whatsoever, until it was time to pay the bill. For her to proceed to rush us out, even thought another table was still right next to us. With that being said, we are not planning on coming back. Such a shame that a server can ruin the great experience we had the first time.

I came strolling into this place with an hour before they closed and I know they rolled their eyes…read morewhen they saw me lol. But I didn't feel rushed. I was graciously sat. The ambiance is nice and the setup is a traditional Brazilian steakhouse style. They bring the meat cuts around and you choose what you try. In the center they have the appetizer, fruit and salad station. I got full fairly quickly so I was in and out within 45 minutes. The food was delicious and the staff was very attentive.

My wife is Brazilian, and she agreed that this is the best Brazilian steakhouse we've ever been to…read more The service is amazing; every time I stood up, a waiter was there when I got back to pull my seat out. Every. Single. Time. Maury made my wife feel at home by speaking Portuguese, which made her day. Even as I write this in the lobby, a waitress just stopped and asked if she could get me some water. On top of making me feel like royalty, they were all incredibly friendly and joined in on our conversations, even bringing my wife a flan that had "congratulations" written in chocolate after we told them that we'd just received incredible news this morning. Now to the food. Every bite, of everything, was heaven. They source their meats better than any other steakhouse I've been to, and it shows. Perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked and melt-in-your-mouth. Will definitely be back! Thank you for an amazing time.
