The service has consistently been exceptional, and I particularly appreciate their impressive bourbon and whiskey selection. Over the years, I've visited for everything from informal business discussions to evenings spent with close friends.

Combined with a moderate noise level that allows for comfortable conversation, it's an ideal setting for both meaningful catch-ups and professional engagements.

My wife and I went to The Modernist after seeing it on social media. There wasn't a drink menu, and…read morewe were told the idea is that you tell the bartender what you like and they make something for you. Her first drink was a lavender-style cocktail and was fine. For her second drink, she told the bartender to surprise her. He gave her a look and asked more than once if she was sure she wanted him to surprise her. Instead of making her an actual cocktail, he poured her what seemed to be a straight, extremely bitter liqueur. The whole interaction felt sarcastic and like he was intentionally messing with her rather than trying to make her something she would enjoy. What bothered me most was the attitude behind it. We weren't being rude, demanding, or causing problems. We were there to have a good time and experience the whole "tell us what you like and we'll make you something" concept. I did call the number listed for the business afterward trying to speak to someone about it. The person who answered said I had the wrong number and didn't know what I was talking about. I got angry during that call and said some things I shouldn't have, and I can admit that. But that doesn't change how disappointing the experience at the bar was. We expected a creative and welcoming experience and instead left feeling like my wife had been mocked. I hope management sees this and addresses it, because the concept of the place is great, but the way we were treated completely ruined it for us

Pastiche is a place that I've always really enjoyed but I recently went and had a very bad…read moreexperience. The menu seemed to have changed the last time I went & lowered in quality significantly. I'm not sure if it was new management or a temporary condition but I would say that the drinks were nearly inedible. For example the old fashioned riff I had was bourbon, angostura bitters, and anise. It seemed to be missing a sugar component like a simple syrup. It was also smoked but the smoke was very synthetic in flavor. Additionally some of the other cocktails ordered by the group were just of a much lower quality at Pastiche. A lot of the drinks were artificially sweet & had chamoy & tajin rims. I think these drinks are good for certain places in San Antonio but I've come to expect much better from Pastiche. I'm so very bummed by this new development in what is usually a very great experience & atmosphere with some amazing cocktails. I hope this isn't the beginning of a "new pastiche"!

I arrived without a reservation, but that wasn't going to work so I made one about an hour ahead and just waited it out. I'm glad I did. The swordfish Asada was delectable and all of the accoutrements that come with it take the whole thing to another level. I couldn't decide between the white mole cauliflower and guacamole to start so I got both. It would be hard to imagine not having either as they are both really special dishes. The tortillas and honey butter that came out are basically like having your dessert early. I think the highlight of my meal was that I was eating a green onion, and one of the servers walked by and in the nicest possible way suggested that I didn't know how to properly eat it. He was correct as it turns out, after he showed me how they did it around the kitchen table growing up I enjoyed them so much more. Both super cool and brave of him to suggest. Can't wait for my next visit. Absolutely stellar. If you're on the fence about eating here, get off the damn fence and make a reservation.

We were seated right away, we chose the chef's table because we had already eaten dinner at home, but just wanted to go out for a stroll around the pearl and grab some dessert. We ordered the lemon blueberry Panna cotta and not only is it delicious but it's also beautiful! It looks like a work of art. I ordered one of their craft beers and we got some french fries on the side just to offset the sweet. Definitely a great dessert if you are not wanting something too sweet or two filling. It has been over 10 years since I have been here to eat, but being there reminded me how much I loved the last meal I had here so I am eager to go back for lunch or dinner!

We also had the snapper throats and loved them. The aioli was a great sauce with them. I had the gulf catch of the day, which was grouper, and it was so good. Great seasoning, perfectly flaky and moist, a nice crust on the outside. With that we had some jalapeno corn bread which was also delicious. Not too dry at all. I was hoping for it to be spicy but it was not. For dessert, I gad panna cotta and it was a great ending. Not too sweet, but the berries made up for that. The lavender meringue bites had a great crunch. Our server (Maya) was excellent. She was so friendly and helpful. Finally, the decor is unmatched anywhere. It used to be a brewery and they kept the old pipes and valves, which look very cool. It has a great vibe. I highly recommend. Without the need to, I'll mention anyway that it's not cheap.

We visited on a Friday 7/31/2026 evening, arriving around 6:45pm.  Our party started with six…read moreguests and eventually grew to 13 by the end of the night.  The restaurant wasn't very busy when we arrived, and the atmosphere was pleasant.  One positive experience was that the staff accommodated our request for an item that had been removed from the menu.  The manager went out of his way to have it prepared for us, and we truly appreciated that level of customer service.  The food it self was very good. Unfortunately, the service throughout the evening was disappointing.  I don't blame our waitress personally; it was obvious she was responsible for far too many tables.  As a result, we waited an extremely long time for drink refills, whether it was for beer, cocktails, water, or soda. When we requested buckets of beer, they often arrived after a 15 minute wait, and the beers were warm by the time we received them.   The delays became so frustrating that six people in our group left early.  We frequently had to ask the manager for basic items such as condiments, water, and utensils becuase our waitress simply couldn't keep up. Our final bill was $329.08, so we spent a significant amount of money at the restaurnt and expected a much better overall dining experience. To make matters worse, parking created another issue.  The first two hours were supposed to be free by entering the validation code from our receipt.  The code reduced the parking fee to $13, but my credit card was still charged the original amount instead of the discounted rate.  Overall, the food and the manager's willingness to help were the highlights of our visit.  However, the lack of adequate staffing, extremely slow service, and parking issue overshadowed the positives.  Saldly, becuase of this experience, we will most likely not be returning.
