While I was looking forward to a high-quality holiday brunch, the reality was closer to a glorified, overpriced continental breakfast. At **$60 per person**, being served under-baked biscuits and chilled shrimp while missing every essential brunch staple is a significant disappointment. **To be clear: the menu offered no omelette station, no scrambled eggs, no bacon, and no sausage. There wasn't even a pancake or a slice of French toast in sight--and trust me, deviled eggs do not count as a substitute for actual breakfast.** The value simply does not align with the cost. It is a shame because **the staff was actually excellent, but the food failed to match the quality of the service.** I am more than willing to pay for a premium experience, but this was a total miss. Save your time and head to a reliable staple like Cracker Barrel or IHOP to actually leave satisfied. **Or, if you are looking for a truly amazing breakfast experience, go to Bobby's or Mama's Café instead....STAY BLESSED! read more

Roca & Martillo - So you know where not to go - Desserts Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

We were really looking forward to this meal, but unfortunately it missed the mark across almost every course. The arancini were overwhelmingly salty with no other discernible flavor... so much so that we couldn't even finish one. It felt like all the seasoning for the evening went into that appetizer, because everything that followed was drastically underseasoned. The salmon was cooked well, but the rice pilaf tasted like absolutely nothing. No salt, no herbs, no butter... the cucumbers mixed in were somehow the most flavorful component on the plate. The Caesar salad was creamy but lacked any brightness or zing. It needed acidity and depth. The steak was the biggest disappointment of the night. It was not cooked to the requested temperature and arrived cold throughout. It was underseasoned and honestly one of the worst steaks I've had in years. (Also the presence of chili oil on the plate was puzzling, and the oil itself was bland and bitter.) Dessert didn't redeem the experience. The cheesecake had a strange gelatinous, overly firm texture and very little flavor. The strawberry sauce was watery and bland, like it was infused with strawberry essence rather than made from real fruit (which was especially confusing because the fresh strawberry slices on the plate were clearly in season and delicious). The seating also detracted from the experience. We were placed at an extremely high, very small bar table with wobbly chairs that were difficult to get in and out of. It felt more awkward than romantic... like sitting in oversized high chairs. Service was disjointed. Staff repeatedly walked past our table with our food, seemingly unsure where it belonged, going back and forth until confirming with our waiter. Overall, the experience felt inconsistent and poorly executed, especially for a place positioning itself as an upscale Italian joint. Unfortunately, it wasn't a meal we'd return for. It's especially tough knowing we paid top dollar $$$ for this disappointing dinner on Valentines Day read more

Excellent! Came here a day after a Spurs game so it was not busy. It was pretty easy to find and parking was free. It's a beautiful restaurant with a rooftop. Had a girl's night dinner and they did not disappoint! The portions are big so definitely had some leftover to take home. I had the Tuscan Campanella Alla Bolognese and let me tell you, I could eat this every day it was so delicious! The drinks are perfect. The Peach Bellini and Full of Flowers were yummy. Manager introduced himself and told us about the restaurant and events they will be having. Service was superb and was decently priced for the quality and amount of food. Can't wait to go again:) read more

We tried a variety of dishes and overall had a really enjoyable experience. We started with the porcini-crusted onion rings served with balsamic cipollini jam and Calabrese aioli. The flavor was great, but they were a bit on the greasy side for my liking. For brunch, I ordered the tiramisu pancakes and WOW .....absolutely AMAZING. Fluffy, rich, and perfectly sweet with that classic tiramisu flavor. We had the Tuscan campanelle alla bolognese. It was comforting, well-seasoned, and absolutely delicious. We also tried the lunch plate with chicken skewers, asparagus, and potatoes. Everything tasted fresh, cooked perfectly, and well-balanced. It is definitely a lighter option that doesn't sacrifice flavor. Overall, great food with solid variety. Highly recommend the tiramisu pancakes and bolognese! read more

As those of you who read my reviews often know, I am in charge of picking the venues for my retirement group's monthly luncheons. This year, I wanted something new and special for our holiday luncheon in December. I went online and asked Perplexity for a list of restaurants that would meet our needs. This was one of them. The restaurant is in an area called the Rock. It is fairly new, and we found it a little hard to find. When we did find it, we weren't sure how to get to the front door. Unfortunately, we had driven right past all the handicap parking, which would've made it about a 50 foot walk to the door for my friend. Instead, we ended up walking all the way around the building to find the entrance. The restaurant was very nicely laid out and decorated. It had a wide open feeling in the dining room. We were given two large tables towards the back that were almost private. The menu was not what most of us would expect to find on a traditional Italian restaurant menu. However, we all managed to find something that we enjoyed. As every meal was placed on the table, I wished I had ordered it instead. Then they finally brought mine, and it was very good. For me, the highlights were the selection of mocktails. They had several of them, and they were all much more creative than usual. I tried two of them and they were great. Another thing I have to sing praises about are those wonderful deviled eggs! They were insanely delicious and so well prepared. We actually asked if we could get the recipe. The chef came to our table, and, although he shared some of the ingredients, he wasn't overly willing to just just out and out tell us how to make them. Our server was a young man named Ian. He was simply amazing. Y'all know how I feel about good servers. No matter how good the meal is, I won't be back if I don't get good service. Ian knew his menu, he answered way too many questions that we old folks always ask, and he was very friendly the whole time. Now that we know where the front door is, I feel like we will be eating here more often. Everything about it was an enjoyable experience for our group of retired teachers. read more

Super surprised to see less than 5-stars here, I think this place is excellent. Food was outstanding, service was exceptional - exactly what I'd expect to see from a Jason Dady restaurant. Hubby, from Boston who loves Italian, said his dinner was the best bolognese he's had in Texas. Wish I'd gotten a pic. The food is clean and not overwhelming, although we still left with to-go boxes. Reasonably priced menu options plus a few top tier, more pricey options. I had the pizza ($21) - the crust was so thin and light, all of it so flavorful. Can't wait to come back soon. Cheers! read more

I met a group of friends at this restaurant around a week after trying the crawfish boil at the food truck. All Jason Dady concepts are trendy and real well put together however everything is cooked catering to the American palate. The 3 stars given is mainly for the service. Our waitress was amazing! Very attentive and super friendly. I cannot complain about the food neither... it is simply missing the wow factor. I will definitely return for friends gathering or special occasions since it is predictable on what you are going to get read more

Sit outside when the weather is asking for it! It is loud so be prepared. The food was decent, though pricey. I got the pizza and it was alright. The dough wasn't entirely baked thru.

They knocked it out of the park with the menu & the execution. Very versatile options while still remaining a familiar feel. The ambiance is awesome as well, there's indoor & outdoor seating with two levels. Outside there are two patios with both overlooking the rock at La Cantera (an impressive installation for the community with a HUGE screen for showing sports/movies, a splash pad, basketball, & more). Our server was Cassie & even though we came in late, she still welcomed us warmly. Everything came out absolutely amazing. We had an apple & goat cheese salad, arancini, brisket lasagna, grueyere & potato ravioli, & the sweet tea brined pork loin. Sheesh! Everything was amazing flavor bomb. We'll be back to try another tour of the menu soon! read more

Roca & Martillo - Fried Chicken and Mashed Potatoes - Desserts Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Roca & Martillo was a great experience I was able to stop by for a quick appetizer and it definitely hit the spot. I ordered the Burrata Di Búfala, great combination of flavors. It was the perfect temp came with fresh strawberry's Prosciutto di Parma, Fennel-Pink Peppercorn Jam, Basil & Tigelle Italian Streetbread. The street bread was my favorite part but everything mixed into one bite really brought the meal together. The service was also very attentive and the atmosphere was a nice relaxing spot to chat and grab drinks. Hope to visit again soon for the full experience! read more

Wifey and I have been here twice, both times with groups. First time we sat outside, the second time at the upstairs room. My best description for this place is truly hit and miss. Not much in between. The service is a mess. It is slow and inconsistent. The bartenders don't know the menu or the drinks. I had the Bolognese pasta, which was excellent. My daughter had fried chicken which was out with a great crispy crust and super tender meat inside. Her daughter had chicken tenders, which were out of this world. Everything else was subpar and disappointing. My wife had a. Caesar salad with grilled chicken on top. The chicken was dry and tasteless. The drinks are OK, but not great. I can't say we wouldn't return, but we know to expect average. read more

Roca & Martillo - Campanella, à la Bolognese. - Desserts Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This place is the perfect example of why I always try to visit a joint twice before reviewing. My wife and I landed here just a few short months after they opened. The experience was fine, but just. Nothing to write home about. I had the brisket lasagna; can't remember what my wife had. Bottom line, I left thinking solid three star had I reviewed. Last week, my wife and I tried again. Solid five stars this time...so I averaged. Service was spot on and friendly. I even caught our server being nice enough to open a toy (needed scissors) for a child seated nearby. Food came out surprisingly quick considering I've heard they make their own pasta in house. Do yourself a favor: if you're there on Wednesday- have the special - the stuffed meatballs and pasta. Oh. My. Goodness. I think I'll always aim for Wednesdays here on out. My wife had the brisket lasagna, which we both found a little sauce heavy, but good. Last thing: the acoustics in here are not the best. The place was not that crowded, but I found it louder than it should be considering the small crowd. I can only imagine...if this place were packed, we may have eaten in silence for lack of wanting to scream to hear one another. Overall, yeah, I'd go back. read more

Wow! Roca and Martillo has it all! The food, Italian cuisine, is absolutely amazing. Their dishes are made with fresh ingredients and are as flavorful as they are beautiful in their presentation. I've visited several times and I like that they take reservations but also have plenty of seating indoors and out. The service is always great regardless of how busy they are. The dining area is beautiful and there is even a roof top bar!!! This place is a wonderful compliment to The Rock area. read more

I met a friend here for one of my birthday lunches and it was a great experience. The waiter was attentive and patient since I had never been here before and had lots of questions. I had the Signature Bolognese and it was very good. The bread was not complimentary but worth every penny. The frozen margarita is small but lethal. The restaurant is beautiful and the ambiance was off the charts. Our waiter could not have been more nice and the food arrived in just the amount of time it was promised. My friend and I both had a really great time hanging out here. read more

Got there at 12:20 pm. Had a reservation but soon realized we didn't need one. There were 3 tables occupied in the entire restaurant. We waited 5 minutes before a server approached us. She was very friendly and offered us drinks. 10 minutes later, she came back and took our order for appetizer as we looked over the menu. About 10 minutes later, she comes back to get our food order. Now we are 30 minutes in. We ordered the pull apart mozzarella, which was very very good. We ordered a chicken Caesar salad and the brisket lasagna. Note on my photo there is no chicken because someone forgot to put it on there. I wanted to come solely for the chicken Cesar salad because I saw a picture on their website and it looked delicious. I was very disappointed because the salad dressing had no flavor and the salad was dry (not enough dressing) and the lettuce was brown! All of this for $15! The brisket lasagna was the worst. The brisket was so dry, it was hard chunks. The ricotta was not spread evenly, and the lasagna was drowning in a flavorless sauce. Well to be fair all it tasted like was tomato. This whole experience took us over an hour for lunch in a dead restaurant. I won't recommend or be going back. For these 3 items it was $55 and again, we had water. I really hoped for a better experience and was just let down. Do better. read more

I used the reservation button on their website for our anniversary lunch; easy to do and happy to say they had us down. That said service was great! We had Ethan seat and take care of us. He was attentive, informative and friendly. We ordered 2 appetizers: marinated steak bites and Tuscan risotto arancini. They were cooked perfectly and flavorful. I ordered the fried chicken (rarely do I order this at fast food restaurants) but went off the recommendation of our waiter. It's was soooooo good! The chicken was crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. The portion size was a lot more than expected too. My husband ordered my go to, salmon. It was cooked nicely and seasoned well. As we went early afternoon on a Monday, there wasn't too many people; which made for a lovely personal experience. Most places include bread service with your meal, here they charge/. We decided to try it and ordered bread service for 1. Very disappointed! It was one slice of bread, no dipping sauce as the bread came with sea salt, oil and Parmesan on it. Other than this (we learned not to pay for something most pleases offer for free), the experience and food was great. We'll try their dinner menu next time. read more

Roca & Martillo has been home to one of renowned Chef Jason Dady's newest concepts, blending South Texan and Tuscan flavors. The restaurant recently launched a new weekend brunch, along with elevated lunch and dinner menus, and people are loving it! Dinner at Roca & Martillo is so beautiful. You get to eat some good food with good ambience, and the 2nd floor patio is perfect for it! Afterwards, hang out right outside at the rock at La Cantera! They have a bunch of vegetarian and pescatarian options to choose from, which made dining so easy! Also their mocktails are some of the best I've had Will definitely be back soon! read more

Jason Dady has done it right! Relaxed and open, we sat outside to enjoy an afternoon with drinks and food. Service was the best. Started with some drinks, then a wonderful green salad that had green apples, candied pecans, , mixed greens and goat cheese. A delicious salad. Then pasta meals, pomp for rigatoni and a bolognese pasta. Both are perfectly prepared. A nice espresso martini to finish. Ethaneal as our waiter was great, informative and attentive. read more

I came here first time in person. Made a reservation for 7 people for Spurs game day on the upstairs patio. Was told BY AN EMPLOYEE "table reservations are free but we offer a buffet, which cost $65 a person." We booked it under the impression we'd only pay if we ate. During the game we were told that everyone in my party MUST pay $85 whether we ate the buffet or not. I asked for a manager out of confusion and he approached us with an attitude and had no intention of listening to our issue. Constantly cutting us off mid conversation saying "thats just how it is", "there's nothing I can do", "I've had no other issues all night". He was even rude enough to walk away multiple times while I was speaking to him. He even threatened to call the cops if we didn't pay. Ordering us to pay. Even after the employee told the manager they forgot to tell us that part. I cannot express how unprofessional the manager was being. I spoke to another man who was professional but still couldn't do anything about this issue. Later on our waitress was much more informed and explained to me the cost per person includes the buffet. And it was actually $85 per person not $65. We did pay because some of us ate and we knew we had to pay for the food from the beginning. The issue was the miscommunication, lack of accountability, and the inability by management to help a paying customer other than "we can prioritize your seats for the next game, but you still have to pay" I understand the information and prices are on the website, but I booked in person and went off what I was told from an employee. read more

I had the pleasure of going to eat here on a Sunday for lunch. We made reservations, but we did not need them as there wasn't many people there at opening time. I don't know if the weather played a role in this as it was a very cold that day. We were seated right away and given time to look at the menu. The menu has a good amount of choices. They also have bread available, but they do charge per person. The bread was delicious. You didn't need any oil dip it in since it was already seasoned. I am not sure if could have asked for more bread since I was too full to contemplate it. I started off with the baked Gorgonzola cazuela with walnuts and fig. This is a pretty good shareable dish to start with. The walnuts gave it a good crunch. The Gorgonzola flavor was not overpowering. It came with slices of pita bread. For my main dish I had the rigatoni pomodoro. I opted to add shrimp as a protein. It was good, but not impressive. The food was good, but pricy. The place is located at the rock at La Cantera. Parking is available on either side of the restaurant. They have inside and outside. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. read more

I wish I had taken photos of the food. We selected the options that were featured for Restaurant Week. We had lunch reservations on a Monday so the place was pretty empty. We were fortunate to have been served by a young man who is a college student. He had excellent customer service skills. He was very attentive and he did not hesitate to give his recommendations, especially on our wine selection. We tried the Burrata as the starter which was excellent. We paired this with a mix of Caesar Salad and Mixed Greens. Our main entrees were the skewered chicken and beef as well as the Bolognese. We all enjoyed our selections. They also have a really cool outdoor seating that faces a splash pad. Nice addition to enjoy the outdoors when the weather cools down. All together, glad we decided to try this place out to celebrate the birthdays of two of my friends. read more

We ordered an assortment of food and drinks and overall everyone was complimentary and highly enjoyed their orders! Food highlights include the burrata plate, cauliflower soup and steak bites. The only item I didn't love was the bucatini pasta - the actual pasta was too thick for my taste and while there was more butternut squash than other reviews led me to believe there would be, I still would have liked more because it was the best part of the dish. Overall, the restaurant was a hit among everyone in attendance and I look forward to dining here again! Next time I will definitely try a dessert. read more

Okay the surrounding area is awesome, especially for those of us with kids and even if I didn't it's so perfect to come out and watch games. Can't imagine the vibe if spurs ever make it to the playoffs again and they have it up on the Jumbotron. As for the restaurant the name threw me off I guess still Latin but was expecting Mexican food versus Italian. Big plates and food was good. As for the service it lacked a tad. The young man helping us must have been new almost timid or hiding from us. And we are so low maintenance we tried to ease him and joke with him but just think like was overwhelmed. My hubby had to go inside to look for him twice; once to take our order and second time to ask for condiments and water. read more

Seeing this restaurant on Eater San Antonio's top new restaurants in San Antonio made it a no-brainer that we had to go try Roca & Martillo. Made reservations as it was a Friday night and was pleased to find out that the restaurant was not very busy when we arrived. Parking was a bit difficult as there was a special event going on at The Park and most of the parking was reserved for VIP tickets. After ordering our drinks, one of the beverages that was ordered a nonalcoholic beer was delivered and unbeknownst to us until trying it. It was actually a regular beer. This could have been a very bad mistake as one member of our party is allergic to alcohol. The server blamed the bartender and said that the bartender had not checked however, they were all out of the non-alcoholic beer. No other options were provided, and water was substituted. Starters consisting of the pulled mozzarella, cauliflower bisque, and field green salad were chosen for the beginning of the meal. These appetizers were all flavorful and good with the exception of the pulled mozzarella. That was a little bit dry and rubbery, however, it was still very flavorful. The meal continued to go downhill when the entrées were brought. Two people had the brisket lasagna unfortunately the lasagna was ice cold in the center and was smothered with so much sauce the actual lasagne was hard to find. The brisket inside, rather than being shredded or pulled brisket, appeared to be ground beef like pieces of brisket if you could call it that. After asking them to heat up the lasagna so it was warm it took more than 30 minutes to get the food back. By that time all of the other meals the party was eating or either finished or cold from waiting. The Gnocchi Roulade, if you could even call it, gnocchi was more like two slices of potato that had been mashed and fried flavorless and disgusting. The bucatini was OK, however even that was lacking in the flavor department as the brown butter sauce was not very browned in flavor. Overall, the experience was lackluster, definitely not what I would consider food from a top quality chef. It appears Jason Dady is more interested in being a clipboard chef than putting out a quality product, unfortunately. I would not recommend this restaurant to others unless there are significant changes made. After expressing our discontent to the server, nothing was done other than she informed me. She did not charge me for the beer. That was the wrong product anyway. A major disappointment and not sure why it is even on the eaters list of top new restaurants. read more

I would give it 4 stars if the service had not been so terrible. The food was amazing, we had 15 people in our group but there were no other tables except one, so the service should not have been so slow. They split us up in two tables so that was awful because we were at a work function and could not sit next to each other. The server took a few drink orders but not all. Then took a long time to bring some of the drinks, we had to ask where they were. Then 1 table ordered appetizers and our table wanted to order our meals because we didn't have a lot of time but waitress said "Well the other table ordered appetizers so that's all I'm taking orders for now". I've never heard of that. So we had to wait an hour because by the time they brought the appetizers. Then another 40 min to get our food. Obviously with 15 orders it will take the kitchen a long time to make them so why not take orders separately. It didn't make sense, we spent 2.5 hours there and still had to wave down the waitress to get checks. Then she mixed up the cards/tickets after charging. We will likely not return. read more

Such a fantastic patio. As the server said, it's a hidden gem. Service is great and so is the food.

I came here with my coworkers for a recognition dinner recently. I arrived a few minutes before our reservation to have a drink. The parking lot wasn't too crowded, and surprisingly neither was the restaurant. The staff were friendly and greeted me enthusiastically. I liked the design and how open the restaurant is. The bar had a nice setup. However, I was shocked they did not have draft beer. I opted for a can of Mcconauhaze. I was also surprised the cost of a 12 oz can was over $10. With my teammates trickling in, we moved over to our reserved table. We started our meal with some apps, the onion rings and deviled eggs. I preferred the onion rings, as they had a nice crunch to them and they paired with the dipping sauces. Since our company was taking care of the dinner, I went with the beef filet. It came with 2 sides, asparagus and crispy Tuscan potatoes. I really enjoyed the cook on the steak, and the potatoes lived up to their description. I was indifferent about the asparagus. After dinner had concluded, a couple of my coworkers when back to the bar for an after dinner drink. I ordered an old fashioned. The drink was great, but was far more costly than I would have expected. Overall, I am not sure if I will come back. There are better options for a good steak around. read more

Roca & Martillo has a fun, welcoming ambiance for all ages, and a variety of tasty dishes of the high quality that you would expect from a Jason Dady restaurant. The location is at The Rock at La Cantera, a work-and-play complex that's focused on the San Antonio Spurs basketball team. Roca & Martillo is located on the edge of Frost Bank Plaza, an entertainment zone with a big screen, open space with artificial turf, a splash pad, a tree-of-life basketball hoop, and more. On a Saturday night, DJs battled it out to the delight of families having fun on the plaza. The building has a Mediterranean look, with decorative tiles, wooden beams, and large windows with views of the plaza. Fitting for a sports-forward concept, there are big TVs at the bar. The menu is heavy on Italian dishes that Dady fans will recognize from his other outlets. This is Texas, so there are excellent steaks, like the cast-iron seared filet, nicely charred and peppered. The fried chicken was crispy and juicy. They make good use of seasonal ingredients like summer strawberries in the burrata di bufalo appetizer. With such a broad menu, Roca & Martillo would be a good choice for groups and multigenerational meals. The combination of good cooking, friendly service, and a unique setting on the Spurs-focused plaza makes Roca & Martillo an appealing place for dining and playing. read more

Several weeks ago, I made reservations to try @rocamartillo for dinner. It's right next to where the Spurs now practice. It's one of the newest restaurants that Jason Dady opened with exquisite indoor and outdoor seating. Dad had Lemonade, Hubby had the Margarita on The Roca, and I had The Healer on happy hour. Happy hour ends at 6pm. We tried the Bread Service and Deviled Eggs, which were both fantastic. Hubby and I shared the Mixed Field Greens. Dad had the Roasted Cauliflower Bisque. Dad liked his Smoked Brisket Lasagna. I had the Duck Confit, which was a pasta dish with duck. It was not what I expected but it was good. Hubby had the Parmigiano Fried Chicken. Krystal was attentive and we had a great experience. read more
