I genuinely thought this was going to be a sports bar vibe, and I was pleasantly surprised to find…read morethat it was a Biergarten and almost pub vibe I was meeting a friend for happy hour and some bites, and we landed on the spot. I will say the GPS got a little confused in the route for some reason and I nearly missed an exit and even the entrance (there was some construction going on) There is plenty of parking, but the parking lot was pretty full. You walk up and either walk through the courtyard style Biergarten with tables or you can go inside. It was an unseasonably nice day, so, we opted to sit outside There is a QR code to view the menus. There are entrees and plenty of apps/sharables. There is also a very extensive beer menu. Make no mistake, this is their bread and butter. They boast an imprecise "99 beers on tap." There's local brews, light and dark beers, hoppy, Belgium style, German style, wheat, etc etc etc. if that's not your speed there are cocktails and non-alcoholic options. Our server was fantastic. She was very kind and patient with us. We were constantly checked in on, but not in a hovering way or a pressure to leave. Our food and drinks always came out in a timely manner. She made us feel well taken care of The drinks hit the spot, and the food was tasty. It was definitely a chill vibe/hang. We were there for hours just catching up, and we saw other happy hours, birthday parties, dates, bachelorette parties, etc Some tips: I did order a couple beers that they were temporarily out of, but there are so many beers to pivot to. Also, our server was incredibly helpful in offering other suggestions, similar suggestions, and asking the right questions to help land in the next alternative They are not open Mondays, and they're only open until 11pm Tuesday-Thursday (and Sunday). Friday and Saturday they're open til 1am. Also, on Saturdays and Sunday's they offer brunch from 11am-3pm) The Reuben was surprisingly delicious Cheers!!

Hoppy Monk is one of our go-to places in San Antonio so as we had out of town guests for Easter, we…read moredecided to head here! It's been a while since have done brunch and o won't be in a hurry to return to brunch specifically The service was superb, we had a great server and he was absolutely on top of everything which was great! Beers were also great as was the mimosa I had and the kids we were with seemed to like their meals which came out last and they said theirs were hot - ours were not unfortunately. I had the Lox eggs Benedict and in retrospect should have sent it back as it was stone cold! My husband and our friend got the biscuits and gravy and also reported that they were cold - it was also served in a bowl which was a bad idea as the biscuits completely soaked up the gravy and resembled oatmeal by the time it hit the table! We got one meal - waffles and chicken to go and the waffles were inedible- poorly mixed, gritty and so much hot sauce in the mixture that they burned the back of the throat - they had to be trashed ! I love this place but won't return in a hurry for brunch - granted multiple dishes with eggs are hard to time right so we ended up with cold food that did however taste good

One of the first things you notice when you walk in is the eye symbol displayed throughout the restaurant. According to the staff, it's meant to bring positive energy, and honestly, the vibe starts working immediately. As first-time Ezov diners, we were completely captivated by the décor. From the beautiful oversized colorful lanterns to the vibrant graffiti art (which also extends to the exterior of the building) and sleek modern furnishings. The space felt both stylish and inviting. We instantly slipped into relaxation mode. Ezov's menu features Mediterranean-inspired dishes designed for sharing, so we selected three items: the Whipped Bulgarian Feta, Lamb + Beef Manti, and Grilled Branzino. Let me start by saying I don't recall ever having whipped Bulgarian feta before, and it was a delightful surprise. Smooth, creamy, and packed with flavor, the combination of honey and hazelnuts elevated the dish even further. The Lamb + Beef Manti was the standout of the evening and easily my favorite dish. It was an incredible explosion of flavors and textures...a thin, crispy flatbread layered with rich tomato ragu, tangy yogurt sauce, and chili oil. Every bite was absolutely delicious. If I could have ordered a second round, I probably would have. The Grilled Branzino, served with peas, kale, and peppers, was also enjoyable. To be fair, the kale was a bit coarse for my taste, but my friend happily took care of most of it. James, our server, was fantastic. He guided us through the menu, offered helpful recommendations, and checked on us at all the right times without being intrusive. While the shareable plates are on the pricier side, sometimes it's worth treating yourself to a memorable dining experience. Between the flavorful Mediterranean cuisine, the energetic atmosphere, and the opportunity to reconnect with a dear friend, our evening at Ezov was well worth the splurge.

Sternewirth Bar completely saved our night. After a lousy group dinner at another restaurant about…read morea mile away with disappointing food, we were determined to turn things around and actually enjoy our evening. Someone in our group had heard this was the place, so we walked over and hoped for the best. As soon as we walked in, we were immediately impressed by the vibe. The space is very cool and feels like a beautifully repurposed old factory. It has a lot of character and energy without feeling overwhelming. Our group of eight easily found a great spot near the fireplace, with some of us on the sectional and others in chairs, and we were comfortable right away. Despite being very busy, the service was quite good. Drinks came out promptly and the staff was friendly and attentive. We stayed for a few rounds and really enjoyed ourselves. This place turned the night around completely. Great space, great drinks, and great service. I will definitely be back the next time I am in San Antonio, and would even consider staying at the hotel just to be close to this bar. 5 stars.

I'd probably try something else on the menu next time, but still had a great experience overall!

Perhaps I won't choose that next time I come. I will be back.

Amazing dining experience!…read more We came to celebrate a birthday and our server started us off with a complimentary glass of champagne. We also ordered drinks-- the espresso martini was particularly delicious! Our servers were thorough, helpful, and kind. To start, we had the snapper crudo, the popcorn chicken, and the charred cabbage. The popcorn chicken and charred cabbage were amazing! So full of flavor and unique. The snapper crudo was just okay, nothing special. I would try the snapper tartare instead if I could do it over again. The steak was absolutely phenomenal-- one of the best steaks I've had. It comes medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. Loved the sauce and vegetables as well. Would definitely recommend and return for another meal.

I'm not exaggerating at all when I say they hit every single craving perfectly. From the very first bite, I knew these tacos were on a completely different level compared to anything I've tried before. The flavor, the freshness, the way everything came together--it was honestly incredible. I've had tacos from a lot of different places, but nothing has come close to tasting this good. I genuinely don't know what they put in these tacos to make them taste so amazing, but whatever they're doing, they've absolutely perfected it. The first time I tried them felt almost surreal. It reminded me of that iconic scene in the movie *Ratatouille* where the food critic takes a bite and instantly gets transported back to his childhood, remembering his mom's homemade cooking. That's honestly the closest way I can describe the feeling--it was like pure comfort and nostalgia all in one bite. On top of the incredible food, the **prices are amazing**. It's honestly surprising that food this good can still be so affordable. You're getting top-tier flavor and quality without paying crazy prices, which makes the experience even better. It's rare to find a place where the food is this delicious and the prices are still so reasonable. Overall, Briana's Taqueria completely exceeded my expectations. Between the flavor, the quality, and the value, it's easily one of the best food experiences I've had in a long time. If you're even thinking about trying it, I would **highly recommend it**--you definitely won't regret it.

I called to make sure they were open since yelp said it's a food truck. We ended up getting two chicken fajita sopes, a barbacoa torta, a taco de bistek, and a coke.
