Their baking ingredients are sourced from France and the recipes are from her and her husband. And they're a local restaurant which I love supporting! We had the Petit Dejuener Deluxe breakfast which includes one pastry (either a croissant, chocolate croissant or bread pudding), a baguette (with either butter, homemade jam or honey), organic fresh eggs made to order or quiche slice, fresh squeezed orange juice and a yogurt with granola and fresh fruit and a black coffee or tea. It's a great option for those unable to decide on what to eat for breakfast. They have sandwiches, individual baked goods, à la carte items and hot and cold drink options as well. Coffee is strong n tasty Quiche is not dry at all Baguette and croissant are fresh baked Homemade jam Fresh squeezed OJ! Makes me happy! And for those in Austin...they opened a second location in Austin West lake area.

Box St. All Day was easily one of my favorite brunch stops in San Antonio. The space is fun, the…read moremenu has a little bit of everything, and our table ended up trying quite a few different items. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and really liked it. I got the vegetarian version, and the spicy mayo was honestly what made it for me. We also tried the potato flautas, which were good but probably not something I'd order again. The chicken shawarma plate was the surprise favorite at our table, and the steak, eggs, and frites were also really solid. For drinks, I had the BS G&T, which reminded me a little of an Aperol spritz and was super refreshing. They also made the birthday celebration feel extra special with complimentary drinks and dessert, which was such a nice touch. There were definitely a few standout dishes here, and I'd happily come back for brunch again. Great spot if you're going with a group and want a menu where everyone can find something.

The gentleman at the counter went above and beyond--he walked us through the menu, explained the specials, and made sure we understood how their counter service worked without making us feel rushed or overwhelmed. It's rare to find that kind of genuine, attentive service these days, and it truly stood out. On top of that, the food and drinks were just as impressive--fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you'd hope for from a great breakfast spot. This place gets it right on all fronts: warm hospitality, clear communication, and delicious offerings. We'll absolutely be back!

First visit was a walk in on Sunday and it was packed. I welcomed to sit at the bar but later a…read moregirl came up and found didn't have my ID even though I wasn't drinking. Thankfully the hosts found me and my party a table. Our server was bright, communicative, and genuinely attentive. The grits blew my mind with it's rich butter and creamy texture while still have the grain texture. The fried tomatoes were met with a cornmeal fried crispy crunch and a juicy almost like it was marinated in lemon juice for a bit. The bacon was pretty good like a thick chunky sweet bacon strip. I personally like it a bit thinner and more crispy. I like that they offer orange juice and mango juice. My 2nd visit I knew better to get a reservation but it was completely booked when I looked to make a reservation the morning of. It was a Saturday morning. I walked in hoping anyways at 11am. They surprisingly had seats available outside this Texas summer lol. The meat pies were okay a little too greasy. I may be biased on Irish pub style meat pies. The nachos with boudin sauce and a lemon sour cream was out of this world with flavor. It what bean dip wishes it could be. I was so full I couldn't finish it, but I went for that dip. Our server cést comme ci comme ca this time. It like she was just there to get through the day that barely started. I was served a dirty water glass with a lipstick stain on it. My server rarely came by and I had to ask another server to help. Honestly I only tipped the girl server out of manners. I would not accept her as my server ever again.

The happy hour is nice. Lots of easy fried options to try different things…read more I got a lot of them - the crab purse, the meat pie, the boudin ball, the gator egg, and etouffee. All of them were okay or better. The meat pie and crab were the best. If I came back I'd try the red beans and rice and skip the egg. The only thing holding me back from loving this place were the beignets. I've been to NOLA twice in my life (but once was this July 4th). So I don't think I'm a snob about them but these were terrible. They aren't crispy or salty...they are sort of stale and tasteless (but you do taste the powder sugar). I'm surprised by how bad they were versus the other food when it's a Nola breakfast place. My son got a pancake and it was way better than the beignet. Not sure if I would come back, but if I did it would be for a happy hour again (but I'd skip the beignets). Our server was wonderful. Nice and attentive.

A Perfect Return to Where Our Forever Began My husband and I…read moregot married at Hotel Valencia one year ago, so getting to return this weekend to celebrate our first wedding anniversary was incredibly special. As part of our wedding package, they were incredibly generous and included two complimentary nights at the hotel and dinner at Dorrego's for us to celebrate. They are truly the absolute best at what they do and really know how to celebrate their guests! Returning to the very place where we said "I do" was already emotional enough, but Hotel Valencia somehow made the experience even more memorable than our first stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff was exactly as we remembered them: kind, attentive, professional, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful. Our room was absolutely gorgeous, and when we walked in on our first day, we found the sweetest surprise waiting for us: a bottle of champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, and a congratulations message written in chocolate on the plate. I actually teared up a little! It was such a thoughtful and adorable gesture that truly made us feel seen, celebrated, and cared for. There is something so special about Hotel Valencia. The environment is exceptional, the service is always outstanding, and even their gorgeous signature scent instantly brings us back to memories of love, celebration, and adventure. Every little detail feels intentional and memorable. I am so incredibly thankful that we chose Hotel Valencia as the place to celebrate both our wedding and our first anniversary. It will forever hold such a special place in our hearts, and we cannot wait to return again and make even more memories there. Thank you, Hotel Valencia, for helping make two of the most meaningful celebrations of our lives absolutely unforgettable!

A Wonderful Stay at Hotel Valencia!…read more We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Valencia on the San Antonio River Walk! The location is perfect step out the front door and you're right in downtown San Antonio. From the hotel restaurant, you can take the stairs or elevator directly down to the River Walk, which makes getting around so easy and convenient. What we especially loved is that this hotel has so much character and charm. It doesn't feel like one of those cookie-cutter chain hotels. We had a balcony, although it was simply too hot during our visit to sit outside and enjoy it. I'm sure it would be wonderful on a cooler evening! The bar and restaurant were both excellent, and the entire staff was friendly and welcoming. A special shout-out to the valet guys they provided wonderful service and were always so helpful. Great location, beautiful atmosphere, delicious food and drinks, and exceptional service. We would definitely stay here again when we're back in San Antonio!

But From their snacks to their smoothies and food everything is good. I loved the sunset blend smoothie!! It was so good, as was the chagachino! Unique and super good. The avocado toast was my least favorite cause the toast was a little too toasted.. The lentil walnut taco was surprisingly good and they're a good size! I've also tried their goat cheese and bean tamale which was good and a little spicy. The more power to you bowl was more spinach heavy than I expected but nice. The Mother Earth seed bar was yummy too.

Clean, modern, and comfortable inside with some refrigerated grab and go items. I really enjoyed the green smoothie, so I got it twice. Nice to have in a town that's not only humid but vegetables didn't seem to be popular. The chagaccino was pretty good (a little earthy) but nice to try something new. I'd come back to this place if I'm ever in San Antonio again.

Back in San Antonio and first stop, Tokyo Cowboy and dinner was served!…read moreAfter settling into our Airbnb, Tokyo Cowboy came up highly recommend. I'm glad they had room for us but, it's still safe to make reservations. We did not know they are a tapas style restaurant, but that didn't deter us. And we were pleasantly surprised at the size of their "tapas". What we ordered was enough for two people to share. Dumplings - 9/10 Gulf Shrimp & Noodles - 10/10 Blistered Green Beans - 10/10 Ramen - 9/10 Service was great. It's a casual atmosphere, but perfect for an intimate date night.

The brisket roll was good and not greasy with a well spiced wasabi ranch. Krab roll is popular but wasn't as good as I expected.

For a starter we shared the cornbread with another couple and it was plenty for 4 people. If you are from out of town and looking for some Texas-shaped vittles or just want something substantial to stretch your meal I recommend it! Very tasty and filling. For my main I had the scallops with creamed corn risotto. It was a dainty portion but the flavors were nice. My husband had the short rib tagliatelle which he loved. It was very rich and filling. We had the buttermilk pie again for dessert and this time it tasted sweeter than I remembered. It was good but we couldn't finish it. Idk if it was my tastebuds or if it was different. Anyways still a great meal overall and we will be back!

Other than that, the food was average to, not good I made the mistake of going to this tourist spot, inside of the la mansion hotel, $168 later, I can truly say that I would never recommend this restaurant!
