I can honestly say that I have not been this impressed by a new restaurant in SA in a long time. We had dined at the Mexican restaurant that was here prior to Katerina Restaurant and we could tell that the owners put a lot of thought into the new design and decor. We were immediately greeted by a hostess and we requested to sit at in the bar area, which was quite spacious and had comfortable chairs. I immediately noticed a beautiful "atrium" type area with a custom table surrounding a tree that had plenty of natural lighting. I loved the leather placemats and menu holders, very classy. The happy hour was spectacular with $8 drink offerings and discounts on select appetizers. We tried the artichoke white bean dip which was served w/fresh veggies (carrots, pickled onions, broccoli, zucchini, celery, and radish) and crostini. We also ordered the potato croquettes which were drizzled w/sour cream and onion dip. I had a Moscow Mule and Cucumber Martini, while my husband had Pinot noir and cab wine to accompany our appetizers. We were amazed by the quality of the food/drinks and flavor combinations. If you are a peanut butter lover, you must try the maple peanut butter pie. The service was exceptional and several staff came by to check on us and ask how our dining experience was going. The restaurant was so clean and the restrooms were spotless. We will return to try more dishes and drinks! read more

1st visit. Party of 2. Thursday 6pm for happy hour. Place was packed inside and out. Hung out at the outside bar since no no seats available. Didn't know reservations accepted. Fab happy hour specials. Live music on patio. Posh vibe. Busy parking lot. Service staff overwhelmed that day. read more

Katerina Restaurant - Mexican Martini on the front patio with live music. - Wine Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Tried Katerina for the first time yesterday, and I was very impressed by the atmosphere. The layout, high ceilings, and decor were modern, fresh, but also warm and welcoming. The music was eclectic but appropriate. We tried the smoked salmon polenta appetizer and that was 10/10 for what it was. The polenta was crispy on the outside, soft and warm on the inside, which contrasted the fresh cool smoked salmon and sauce on top. We also got the Brussels sprouts appetizer and that was a 9/10. I think a little salt would've gone a long way but the seasonings and sauce made me change my feelings towards Brussels sprouts. We then ordered the wild mushroom pizza and that was cooked perfectly. I think the goat cheese was (as it should be) very strong so I asked our server, Christian, for a side of honey and after he brought it out, that pizza became a 10/10. Unfortunately, the weakest part of the menu that was ordered was the butternut squash gnocchi. It was dry, the butternut squash was underwhelming while the pecorino cheese was overwhelming, so it was very salty while being bland. I would recommend adding something sweet to balance it out, like cooking the squash in maple or adding a fruit or something. Maybe some almonds for a little crunch. But yea sadly it was a 3/10. We were celebrating a birthday, so they provided a free dessert of our choice and we went with the lemon tart. It was delicious, well balanced and came with a candle. They did a lot to try to please us, and I was thankful that our server didn't constantly come to our table. When he did come, it was to be efficient, even picking up so food that fell from our plates to keep the table clean. Overall we had a great experience, but we preferred getting the shareables. They have some room to grow, and I will definitely be back. read more

Finally tried Katerina Restaurant. Went during happy hour (4pm-7pm) around 4:30, no reservation needed, no wait which was great. They have outside and inside seating. The restaurant itself is very nice. The food was just ok, nothing too special. We ordered the smash burger (not pictured) which was good, nothing to rave about though. We also had the short rib grilled cheese (pictured) there was too much going on here. The cheese they used and the meat did not go well together. For a place that's considered "upscale," the service was disappointing. The waiter was not attentive at all and rarely checked in on us. Cucumber martini was ok as well. read more

We came here on a whim to check out the new spot and give their happy hour a try. (Only available in bar/patio area) We sat outside since the weather was absolutely perfect! They had some live music going and the energy was great! We ordered several items from the happy hour menu which were all really great! Olives and nuts - sounds simple, but the olives have this amazing orange citrus infusion with zest and orange slice which really elevated it from just olives, to a lovely refreshing palate cleanser. White bean hummus - delicious! The grilled bread they serve with it is so good, the char on the bread adds such a great flavor. The raw veggies were colorful, crisp, and paired perfectly. Potato croquettes- these are 10/10 so good! I could eat about 3 orders of these! They are light and fluffy, not dense, excellent flavor, perfect crunch! Wagyu meatballs- these things are insane! The flavor, texture, sweet potato puree, crunch from the picked red onions . . . This is a work of art! I think next time I go I'll stuff this inside a potato croquette! House beads- these were a nice touch, though it came out after our appetizers. You get two types of bread with a small white bean hummus. It was a bit dense but possibly because it wasn't hot? Stone Oak Salad - the salad was okay, very light and simple with greens, cranberry, and apple. The vinaigrette did lack "oomph." It tasted mostly like plain olive oil. Old Fashioned- this was nice, basic, stick to the original recipe drink. Great cocktail for $8 The service was friendly but slow. Lots of table mix ups, the staff was very apologetic, they were all just trying to remember to the best of their ability. The restaurant is gorgeous, the decor is beautiful inside and out. Even the detail in the bathroom is amazing. I just went for snacks at happy hour, but I'll definitely go back for an actual entree soon. Though the happy hour menu is great, the full menu is pricey. I'm looking first to returning! read more

After seeing the hype on social I wanted to love Katerina but unfortunately it fell a bit short for me. The ambiance and decor and layout are absolutely amazing. It looks so chic and love how elements of nature are woven intentionally into the layout. For food, my friend and I ordered the meatballs as an appetizer that were very delicious and I would definitely order again. It was a great combo of flavors. For my entree I went with the Braised Beef Short Rib (one of my favorite and go-to dishes when Im dining out) I wanted to love this but the cut was tough and overcooked to the point that neither its sauce or the parsnip puree could salvage it and I only ended up eating about half of the cut. The restaurant was also packed (a good sign for the owners since it was a Tuesday evening no less) and I think our server was stretched a little thin as we would go long stretches without seeing him at times. Dinner at Katerina was a mixed bag for me BUT their happy hour menu caught my eye so I'll definitely be back to give that a try but I think I'll be skipping on dinner service for now. read more

We visited this new restaurant just last Saturday, and it was amazing :D ! My sister wanted to treat me to a belated birthday dinner :) ! So I figured it would be nice to check out Katerina's, which opened about a month ago in the Stone Oak area of San Antonio :) ! We loved their smoked salmon and crab cake appetizers, as well as their braised beef and jumbo shrimp with homemade pasta :D ! Their signature carmelized cake with ice cream, and their maple peanut butter pie were absolutely delicious too :D ! The atmosphere is absolutely perfect for small groups or large parties and the ambiance makes for great conversation :) ! If you want to come on a Friday or the weekend, I would recommend making a reservation through Open Table or directly with the restaurant, especially for reservation slots between 5 to 7 pm! There happened to be a wedding reception there last Saturday :) ! And it looked like there were multiple birthday celebrations going on :) ! For couples who want to celebrate an anniversary, this restaurant is absolutely elegant and inviting for that purpose too :) ! read more

I have to start off my saying we walked in right at happy hour & seeing the bar area as full as it was makes me hopeful for this location! I love the feel of this restaurant & the finishing touches they added. The food was delicious I highly recommend the stone oak salad (the dried cherries and orange chipotle vinaigrette were 10/10). The only thing I hope the restaurant can maintain / work on is the service times, I know with new places this is a growth phase. I just know in the long run it'll benefit! read more

We just had a meal at Katerina's in Stone Oak. And Isaac (manager) made this an amazing experience. Aside from what we ordered , we enjoyed the Brussels sprouts....ive never liked Brussels sprouts.....however, these were amazing. In addition, Isaac came back multiple times to check on us. He is so energetic and really made our date night out a great experience. The bar tender, Sophia was so very attentive and made really great cocktails. This place rocks! read more

Katerina Restaurant - Wine Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

The menus are large & heavy and take up space on a small four top. The table was sent with a Birthday card as well. We started with cocktails & appetizers & moved on to dinner. It took a very long time to request & receive some water for the table. While there is an overwhelmingly large amount of servers & delivery servers, there was not one replenishing waters. Drinks did take a bit of time (still in the throes of Happy Hour so bartenders were slammed). Appetizers came out quickly but we had to ask for serving utensils for them as well as small plates. We had the waygu meatballs (too smoky for me but the sweet potato purée they were served upon was delish). Also had a side of shrimp and crab fried rice as an app. We asked for no jalapeños and they were kind enough to remove AND bring the bell peppers in a separate dish. Entrees were also delivered quickly and were hot and tasty. Two of four of us ordered pizzas & once again, we had to ask our delivery server for plates. As a previous server myself, I understand the role of server & delivery servers, but to not have plates or utensils struck me as odd. Mains were the shrimp pasta, sausage and pepper pizza, and the fig and prosciutto pizza. The hubs and I split the fig and prosciutto pizza. It was a very thick crust pizza. It was super sweet. And very cheesy. For the combination of sweet and cheesy I would've preferred a thin crispy crust myself. I literally was only able to eat one piece. I was so full. After sunset the lighting adjusts in the restaurant for ambiance but I did notice a certain table in front of the atrium getting hammered in the sunlight & the setting sun. Although we observed an awning over the windows, they definitely need to invest in shades or some type of anti sun, anti glare measures. Make note of this when getting a table during that time of day. I saw two gals get up & move to the other side of their table as their table top was in the path of the sunlight. As we were a party of four celebrating birthdays, we also received complementary desserts as well. Cocktails were good. My husband's first glass of the Chianti wasn't great. He thinks it turned. He moved on to a different red. The after dinner Carajillos were a little too sweet for me. I'll definitely be back. However, I think the menu is better during the happy hour even though it's noisy and loud. I would prefer to dine at the bar for happy hour menus and cocktail specials. read more

This restaurant was absolutely stunning inside and the decor was amazing. This restaurant in Stone Oak will be one of my favorites for sure ! There is many variety of foods on their menu - they do have happy hour specials. The only thing I did not like was our server, maybe he was new or maybe he was not having a good day. Let's just say that I was able to give feedback to the manager. He appreciated the feedback and hoped I will come back even after the not so great server. I of course will return for the happy hour menu ! The manager made it a point to let us pick a dessert and it was complimentary- which that was sweet of him. I do recommend this restaurant and the place is new and they will get better ! Give it a try ! read more

Excellent visit heavily weighted on ambiance and service by our waiter, Keith Jackson. Katerina has a beautiful interior setting. Once you walk thru the giant door, you'll know a treat awaits you. We were seated at a table with low settee style seats. They were a bit too low and I had to rest my elbows on the table which is an etiquette no-no but I soon settled in once our charming waiter Keith approached. Our meal got off to a meh start. My friend had the French onion soup which she described as watery. I had the crab fried rice which was a bit mushy. My blood orange cocktail was delish but did not seem to have much alcohol. Our waiter could tell we thought it was just ok. He checked back frequently and made a reco of the short ribs. The short ribs were fork tender with a delicious sauce. It could have used more sauce and seasoning but I enjoyed it. The crowd at Katerina is well to do and mature so I think that may be why they go light on the seasoning. All the food was good (not amazing) and I'll be back but I'd probably choose it mainly for ambiance and the excellent service. read more

Terrific place with great food, great service and fantastic ambiance! They were soooo friendly. We met everyone and what a great menu and selection esp of steaks and seafood! We had a glass of Malbec and tjey served a bread plate w the best peper olive oil and balsalmic dip! Then we split the salmon which was fantastic! Look at our pics.

We had a great dinner here! Service was on point, and our waiter was so kind and attentive. One of the managers even came by to see how we were doing at one point. Ambiance was classy and comfortable. They have 2 beautiful bar areas and lots of seating. Our food was delicious! We started with bread, and shared a Caesar salad and some onion rings for our appetizers. I got the jumbo shrimp with housemade pasta and my husband got the strip steak which was huge! Everything was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. We will definitely be coming back for happy hour!! read more

I don't usually give a 5 Star visiting a restaurant for the first time, but this is the exception to that. I remember when this place was an American Steakhouse (I forgot the name) several other restaurants have tried to make it a good in this spot. It's a great spot and I believe Katerina has the combination to make it work. I started out ordering their Big Tex Margarita which was smooth and delicious. I started dinner with a bowl (small bowl) of their Onion soup which was a little bit smokey and the Balsamic Onions gave it a wonderful taste. For dinner I ordered the Sautéed Jumbo Shrimp which was filling and very delicious. For dessert I ordered the Maple Peanut Butter pie, very good and I was stuffed when I was finished. They also have an amazing Happy Hour menu, Happy Hour being from 4 to 7pm. Our server Ben did a great job and the Manager stopped by several times to check on us. A great experience all around. read more

Ok they took over an abandoned restaurant, remodeled and created a beautiful destination, whether it's the restaurant, one of the 2 bars or the expansive patio....it's awesome. We have visited more than a dozen times and have not had a miss on the menu yet. Made an anniversary reservation and they dropped a cars signed by the staff....great choice. The happy hour items are awesome and a great value. Brice and Keith are rockstar servers and take care of every need before you know you need it. But the stars are Chase and Abdi....these 2 are the absolute best bartenders in town. Chase remembers what you had, your name, and whatever is going on in your life. And abdi makes a personal relationship with you and greets you with a hug and a high five every time. Need a suggestion, they have your answer. Menu wise pizzas are awesome, the duck was delish, house made spaghetti and grilled shrimp awesome....but the hidden item is the fried rice and baby shrimp and crab meat side item and add some grilled shrimp to it for an awesome entree. Geoffrey/Emily/Hector run a great ship! read more

I really wanted to enjoy this restaurant and we even invited our friends from Austin. I made a reservation for happy hour and upon arriving we were seated in the restaurant area. We wanted to try first for happy hour. They seated us in an area where the table was very high. We could not even see each other across the table in some really odd shaped couches. We asked to be moved to a regular table at that point. They insisted that they could not see us in the bar, although there were many empty seats. We ordered the Wagyu mash burger. We had a short rib sandwich and the cauliflower dish, which were just OK. I felt the cauliflower dish was not what I expected. The cauliflower was breaded and deep fried but I guess that's OK. The food was just acceptable. It wasn't outstanding or amazing. I guess after not being seated where we had requested, started us off on the wrong foot and I didn't understand why they insisted on seating us in the restaurant area. The seating was an issue. And after hearing many reviews from friends that they enjoyed this restaurant, I would give it a thumbs down and don't plan on returning anytime soon. We were prepared to pay the price, but for the price the value is not there. Yeah atmosphere and decor were very pretty. read more

The bartender Chase is like sunshine. He was friendly, hustled during busy period, anticipated our needs, and even suggested a mocktail with Ritual for someone in a party that couldnt drink alcohol. He was consistently like that with every party at the bar. Chase is a 10/10 The meatballs were amazing too and also a 10. read more

Katerina's is hands down one of the best new restaurants in Stone Oak. From the moment we walked in the atmosphere felt elevated but still welcoming and comfortable. I ordered the shrimp which was perfectly cooked and full of flavor and my husband had the beef rib which was incredibly tender and rich. We both ended the night with dessert and the German chocolate cake was unreal. I paired mine with a carajillo which was the perfect after dinner drink and honestly a standout on its own. The service made the experience even better. Our waitress Brianna was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain the menu and answer every question without rushing us. The manager Isaac checked in throughout the night and made us feel genuinely welcome which says a lot. The bar area is gorgeous and already feels like it's going to be my go to spot. I noticed their happy hour specials and the truffle fries are priced insanely well for Stone Oak which is rare to find in this area. I can see Katerina's becoming our new favorite in Stone Oak and we will absolutely be back! read more
