    Mac n cheese
    Kamesha A.

    We took grad pics in the area and walked over to this restaurant. The vibe was pretty eclectic and that's probably because there were multiple grad parties dining both inside and out. We were seated quickly. Service was great as my friend's steak had to be sent back a couple of times due to temperature...... it was fixed without hassle! Manager brought it out and allowed her to cut it to ensure it was to her liking. We were composited with strawberry cake and myyyyy goodness that cake is a show stopper!! Moist! Full of flavor! Can serve 2-3 people I had fish tacos. When I revived my order my initial reaction was oh no corn tortillas! I don't think that was disclosed on menu BUT I was pleasantly surprised the tortillas weren't tough or chewy. Very flavorful too. Our party enjoyed our experience

    Wedge salad, no tomatoes
    Esme N.

    My #1 pregnancy craving was the wedge salad from Down on Grayson. Is the lettuce simply a vehicle for the dressing and toppings? 100%, but my gosh, the whole thing is delicious. It's a huge salad and I eat the whole thing every time. I'm always the last one to finish their meal when I get this because I'm stuffing the whole plate into my mouth. The blue cheese dressing is incredible with lots of nice chunks of cheese. Beyond the wedge salad, we always have very good service here with attentive waitstaff and quick turnaround times for drinks and food.

    Chopped Caesar with Crispy Chicken
    Candace W.

    Came here with a group of friends on a busy Saturday morning and did not have to wait very long for a table (less than 5 mins). My friend asked for a latte without sugar or sweetener and was given a sweetened latte, they said they always add sweetener? He didn't drink it. My chopped Caesar salad was really good!! Chicken was seasoned amazingly and my friends loved the portion sizes of their sandwiches and fries and the taste. Cute interior and lots of outdoor seating as well near the farmers market. Overall: decent place for brunch in SA

    Here to for the first time!

    Was very excited to try this place for hr first time. The outside is very nice and well decorated and with shades and fans throughout the patio. Place looks nice and fancy on the outside side and inside. While searing outside waiting for our number to be buzzed, while waiting under a tree (shade), I got pooped on by a bird! Our number was called and walked in and we walked inside to a line of people waiting to be assigned to their seats. People were going around the line to the hostess without waiting in line like the others. Very unorganized way to greet and seat people. We ordered fried chicken and anticucho with a couple of mojitos. First the anticucho meat came cold, as it didn't event get reheated or for that fact, cooked fresh! Had to re-take the plate back due to the meat being cold. Not even two minutes passed and we had the plate back. Meat was microwave hot and everything else was still cold. But, we decided not to waste time and just ate what we had ordered. Alcohol drinks were good but they overfill the small glasses with lots of ice! Over all, closed to $100 for fried chicken, chunk of small cutting steak w/hard to chew nerves. Very disappointing experience! Check other places to enjoy your hard earned money and not here.

    My friends and I enjoyed our lunch at Down on Grayson! All the staff members were very kind and patient with our large group. The restaurant inside was clean and had a fresh ambiance. The crispy chicken sandwich was a flavor bomb! Chicken was crispy (not greasy) as promised, however, I would've liked it to be meatier. Mac and cheese was ooey-gooey and comforting. We had the best time here! Definitely would come again to try the thai steak salad or another fun dish on the menu!

    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.

    Cobb Salad
    Amanda B.

    Down on Grayson is always a favorite to go to! Whether it's for lunch, pregame-ing or even dinner they always have good drink specials and amazing food. My visit this past week was for lunch and the visit was exceptional. We were seated outside for immediate seating. They had plenty of fans with misters going and lots of shade to help facilitate the afternoon breeze. Service was extremely fast and we received our food maybe 15-20mins after we placed our orders. Unfortunately, no military discount offered but with one drink and one salad the cost was around $40 after tip. My Cobb salad was the perfect portion size (just enough to feel full but not feel like I've overeaten) with just enough dressing to where it wasn't sopping. Fresh lettuce and veggies to follow with two pieces of fresh bread. Absolutely delicious!!! I've been coming here for years so it's safe to say that I will definitely return!

    Sirloin

    The food was amazing. Lizzie, our server was equally as amazing as the food! My fillet was cooked a little bit more than what I ordered; But Aaron and Lizzie worked hard to make it right. Very happy With the experience. We will definitely return.

    Flounder sandwich
    Melissa D.

    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

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

    Fried Grouper Sandwich
    Kirk D.

    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.

    Sliders and parm fries

    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… 

    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.

We eventually joined the monthly bottle membership, which probably says everything about how often this place works for us. The bruschetta boards are generously portioned with enough variety to lean savory, sweet or somewhere deliciously in between, and they pair perfectly with an easy bottle of wine. It's casual enough for a spontaneous stop but still feels polished enough to make an ordinary evening feel like a treat. One of the highlights is when they open the large bar windows and the whole space shifts into that indoor-outdoor mode. You can sit inside, outside or right along the open-air edge and enjoy the best of both. We've even come here after a full dinner somewhere else just to linger, lounge and finish the night with another pour. Postino has easily become a San Antonio spot for relaxed sips, shareable bites and easy neighborhood vibes.

The bruschetta flight was wheat bread (yuckyyy) and the toppings were skimped on. Flavor was not there for the food. I forced myself to eat it all too because I refuse to waste food in this economy but my bf didn't like any so I was accepting the challenge Wine was a basic glass and the atmosphere is kinda odd aesthetic. Not sure what their vibes or theme is. Kinda just plain. One bartender and she was kinda spacey and ppl were flagging her down for service. There was a man next to us at the bar and he was clearly a regular. He knew bartenders name and she knew his and the conversation was more professional / business customer service than friend. He said his meatballs didn't taste normal or good and I heard the bartender tell him either the chef quit or is on vacation and someone else was back there. He sent it back but was trying to tell her he didn't want another one but she got a manager and came out they said they were sorry and making him another one. Not sure if I went on a one off but I doubt I'll be back if in the area.

There was only one other guest in the building at the time that we arrived and we were able to find a seat quite easily. They appear to have an outdoor area as well, but it's summer and we aren't crazy, so we sat indoors. We were given great recommendations for wine by the glass and enjoyed the perfect afternoon. Next time, I'll probably bring a book and just sit and enjoy a glass while reading. This is the perfect spot for wine by yourself or with a group. Definitely check them out if you are in the San Antonio area.

    I love finding a good neighborhood spot and Copper Rose Wine is exactly that…read more I've only been once so far, but I was honestly sold within minutes. The vibe is super cozy in that "let's sit here for hours" kind of way. My friend and I grabbed a corner couch and somehow lost track of time (in the best way.) The staff? Amazing. I'm not exactly a wine expert, and they were so patient and helpful walking me through the list and finding something i enjoyed. You can tell they genuinely care about making sure you enjoy what you're drinking. Also low key one of my favorite parts were the other patrons. Everyone there was just...nice. It had that welcoming, neighborhood feel where you don't feel out of place, even on your first visit. I noticed they do things like tasting Tuesdays, plus events and pop-ups throughout the week, which makes me even more excited to go back. I live less than 5 minutes away and had NO idea this place existed - so consider this your sign to go if you're also nearby.

    Ladino is probably one of my favorite restaurants in the city by far!…read more I've had the privilege to visit Ladino maybe four or five times, and every time I come back, they keep getting better. They recently received a Bib Gourmand from Michelin for good quality and value. Frankly I think they deserve a star, but that's just me. Ladino is located at The Pearl and making a reservation through Open Table is a must! They book up days in advance, so I encourage you to reserve a table ahead of time. They specialize in small tapas style plates, so if you are coming with a group you can order a couple of items to share. They also have a few excellent main dishes, but my favorite is the steak. From the smaller plates I think I've tried almost everything and there hasn't been one I didn't love. However the hummus is a must and the feta cheese is always a winner when I bring new people to Ladino. The staff here is outstanding! The level of service they offer is unbelievable. They truly make sure you have an outstanding experience during your visit, and that level of service is hard to find. Whether you are looking to try a new place or celebrate an anniversary, do yourself a favor and make a reservation at Ladino.

    Beer, wine and pizza...what's not to love about The Growler Exchange?…read more For those of you who have never been to this amazing business before, The Growler Exchange is a tap room and restaurant which carries a huge variety of unique beers, as well as some of the most delicious pizza you've ever had in your life. I've been a regular at this restaurant for 5 years and I can tell you that quality has stayed the same throughout the years. I also appreciate that they now have a bigger variety of wines and you can also buy beer and wine to-go. If you are looking to try their amazing pizza, their most popular pie (and my husband's favorite) is their Mike's Special which is a red sauce pizza with mozzarella, pepperoni, bacon and topped with honey drizzle. However, if you prefer something spicy (like I do), I highly recommend their Spicy Meat Sweats which is also a red sauce pizza with mozzarella, garlic sausage, pepperoni, salami, bacon and topped with some very spicy chili oil. Hope everyone gets to try this amazing local business, and don't forget to bring your growler with you! PSA for the parents: They do welcome kids, and they even have a changing station in the women's bathroom.
