    We enjoyed DOG on a beautiful April evening outside under the umbrellas. Food was delicious, and the service was perfect!

    Down on Grayson is a cool spot. The vibe seems to be trendy for the area. They offer a few TVs in the bar area of you're looking to post up for a bite to eat and a little something to eat. It's a small menu that features sandwiches and salads but does offer entrees such as steak and chicken dishes. For the items that are offered on the menu; they all seem basic but yet are pricey. They have some of the best onion rings and roasted Brussels sprouts that I've had in SATX Service was pretty good for what seemed to be a busy evening.

    Fried Grouper Sandwich

    Nice to sit outside in March, but i door tables available. Comfy lighting and tables. Good music. Attentive staff. Not too loud to talk, but loud enough to bring the kids. Parking lot in front. Good food. Nice large wedge salad. And grouper in San Antonio! All dishes well prepared, all happy with their meal. Recommend.

    Nice bar by the pearl, but pricy for what you get. We ordered the beer and margaritas for our drinks. This place is busy on weekends. The steak was good cut size, the French style burger was dry when it came out. The server was good to ask about allergies. You do have to pay to park at this restaurant.

    Sliders and parm fries

    Their sliders are delicious and were cooked medium just as we had ordered. I have never had a bad meal here, always perfect

    What a great experience Caitlin our server was great We had an outdoor table. It was so nice for a change to be at a casual formal restaurant where the music wasnt too loud to even chat. It was perfect. Cozy calm music ...and such a calm outdoor setting The food was really good too. The only complaint we had is that the bun on the fish sandwich was not good. Carrot cake and the prickly pear nojito was so good Another good thing is they validate your parking which is a great thing at the pearl district

    One of the best places for outdoor dining in San Antonio! We came on a sunny & hot evening with our pup and we were pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the patio was. There was plenty of shade, misters, and it was so clean and well-manicured. We started with the parmesan fries which were such a treat. For my entree, I ordered the Caesar salad with crispy chicken. It was fresh and delicious, and the Parmesan crisp was an elevated alternative to croutons. I ordered an aperol spritz to drink and it was made perfectly. Definitely recommend!

    We ate here a couple of times. Food is ok but their appetizers and drinks are very good. Slightly pricey and sometimes you have to ask if what the server is suggesting is an add on or included. Got surprised one time with 7 add ons. . Learnt the hard way. Service could be slow depending on how busy the place is. Have to make a reservation if you want to get seated quickly. Lot of outdoor seating and parking is right next to it.

    Panini
    Karina E.

    The place was clean, dim lit, and aesthetically pleasing. I really enjoyed the vibe. I always enjoy mocktails being on menus and I was excited to try the strawberry basil smash and it was delicious! The panini was good, although not my preferred cup of tea but I can tell it was a good mix of flavors. We also had Brussels sprouts (not pictured) that were delicious! My friend had the frozen Rita and it wasn't her favorite. Overall I would try this place again.

    No follow up, never resolved. I was asked to send an email with detail, which I did and there was not response.

    I only ate the onion rings, but my friends' lunches looked good and they enjoyed them. I had the cranberry lemonade, which is my new favorite: the tartness of the cranberry makes the lemonade less sugary.

    Steak chimichurri and onion rings

    Tristan provided excellent service and knew the menu like the back of his hand. The wine and steak paring was a great choice however the medium steak was really chewy.

    Great servers behind the bar. Wonderful clean atmosphere and sandwiches are big enough to split between two hungry adults.

    Does anyone know if their strawberry cake is made in-house, or if they sell the full cake?

    I know! The vendor is "The Ultimate Cheesecake Bakery"-- they are a commercial bakery up near the Thousand Oaks/Wetmore area. They sell their cakes to several local places; notably you can get the same exact strawberry cake but in a smaller slice at… Read more

    Do they take reservations?

    No u fortunately so go early for lunch at 11am or you may have up to an hour wait

    Is there a wait?

    Like with any place there is going to be a wait in the evenings or on the weekends. If going for lunch during a week day there is typically no wait.

    Any keto friendly eats here?

    They have items that are or can be made to be kept friendly. There are a lot of protein items on the menu that you can get with substitute sides.

    Finally made it to Ladino. The food was good overall and the flavors were solid across everything…read morewe tried. The hummus with the fresh pita was probably my favorite part of the meal, and the grilled skewers had a really nice char without being dry. The Turkish coffee was also strong and really good. Service was quick and servers paid attention to detail. Great place for date night or hanging out with friends. Plenty of great food options to choose from. Glad I tried it because the quality was amazing!

    Another absolutely incredible dining experience at Ladino. We went with the Mezes de Alegria, and…read moreevery single dish felt thoughtfully crafted and full of flavor. We had five people in our party and we received 15 dishes, including desert. The fire roasted corn and tirshi completely stole the show for me--both were rich, vibrant, and unforgettable. The piping hot pita bread deserves its own spotlight--so, so tasty, soft, and perfect for scooping up every last bite. And the wagyu? Cooked to absolute perfection--tender, flavorful, and worth every bite. A special shoutout to the staff, who helped me celebrate my birthday in such a thoughtful way without ever making it feel over-the-top or cheesy. It really made the night feel personal and memorable. We ended with the Malabi, which was refreshingly cold, perfectly tart, and beautifully rose-flavored--an ideal finish to an already amazing meal. This was one of those dinners where you're already planning your return before you even leave. Truly a 5-star experience from start to finish.
