    Great food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, and the overall vibe made it a perfect spot for both casual dining and special occasions. Highly recommend...definitely coming back!

    Yellowtail tartare

    The service was excellent, and the restaurant offers an upscale experience. The yellowtail tartare was decent, though not exceptional. The duck carnitas and the sous-vide tenderloin were outstanding. The standout dish was the carnitas.

    Duck Breast with Mango Chutney
    mick m.

    First time here for my wife and I, and, after this meal I cannot wait to come back! First, everyone working the front, servers, bartender, hostess and Maitre'D were outstanding. Started with an 'Indian Old Fasioned' which was made with 'butter-washed' bourbon, I had never heard of butter-washed before, it was so good, that, it slipped my mind to ask which bourbon was used. Yup, it was that good! I chose the 4 course menu: Course 1 - Lamb Keema Empanada, Two empanadas with a nice jicama salad Course 2 - Chaat Ceviche which is Halibut with pomegranate, mint and a hint of jalapeño. Course 3 - Duck Breast with Mango Chutney Mole. The vegetable with it was Chayote and mango, I had never had chayote before, it was delicious Course 4 - Masala Tres Leches. I am not a dessert person, but this was so good, lots of flavor, but, not too sweet, I ate it all! Special thanks to Mason, our server, who made us feel at home, and, Brent (Maitre'D) who guided us so well on cocktail and wine choices. Both were fun to talk with and so informative. Sorry for the extra long review, it was earned, and, very well deserved, wish I could have given 10 stars!

    Basque cheesecake with rich cream cheese and Cherie sauce

    This was probably the best restaurant experience ever! I was invited by Dairy Max and was provided a special menu from the Culinary Institute of America to showcase dairy in each course, and they were all very delicious. I don't like blue cheese, but eating it with the salad made it taste good. Duck is delicious, of course! But the basque cheesecake was to die for! It was so soft, airy, and delicious. I'm going to have dreams about it. The servers were all students, but they were very attentive and frequently refilled my glass of water. The restaurant interior is has a minimalistic aura, and everything was very clean and proper. I would recommend this restaurant!

    Wine pairing with the third course

    What a wonderful dining experience! We were a group of 5 and every single member of the staff made us feel special. Plating was spectacular. Food divine. Service out of this world. I really liked the clean and simple decor, it kept the focus on the food and service.

    It felt like there were 4 people per diner on this day. Maybe it felt that way because we were early. I wish I had gotten the pear, instead of the cherry dessert. My friend mentioned that the meatballs taste like jajang myun sauce. My duck was good, with a little bit of crispy skin but my friend's was very soggy. I think the arroz with the forbidden rice would've been the ting to get. Last time I ate here I loved it. This time, the menu was so-so. Next time, I should look at the menu before booking. I think I'm just getting pickier with my old age.

    Mussels on Oat Risotto

    As for me, this was a first time experience from a restaurant of a culinary school. With that said, all I can say is that - "Everything was great". As soon as you walk through the door, you receive a cheerful greeting from the host and we were immediately seated (we did make reservations). I noticed the welcoming vibe the establishment offered, nicely decorated and welcoming. An appetizer trio was ordered which consisted of a smoked pork belly, smoked salmon and squash purée. A decision was made to partake of the four course meal to include wine pairing. from a sweet Prosecco to a nice Pinot noir. For our main entrees, we went with the wild boar schnitzel and the crispy fish skin. Both delicious. We finished our evening with their cheesecake and the frozen milk tea. This is a place we will not hesitate to return. In fact, next time we have out of town guests, this will be one of our go to place. Why did we wait this long to experience Savor???

    Wow- I found this restaurant online and tried to make a reservation- but it was booked up. We stopped in when we got to the area and was told it was full. Went back later and somehow got lucky and the chef was able to get us in!!! We have been to a restaurant like this in st Helena California so knew it would be a special treat. We were not disappointed- he even gave us a drink to hold us over until the table got up which was very quick. Everything was so amazing. The food was so good and I love that everyone working there is students (we didn't torture them too much). They really try hard and my husbands napkin fell in the floor and a girl picked it up and went and brought him a new one (no restaurant ever does that) If you are in this area make sure you go here- you will have an amazing meal at such a reasonable cost that is just so awesome. I will definitely plan ahead next time I'm in San Antonio and make a reservation and not just hope I can get in. Thanks for such a great experience!!!

    The Lamb chop
    Mandelyn R.

    I went for the first time today with a good friend. We had excellent service from Corinna, who is set to graduate August 9th from this Culinary Institute! We ordered the 4-course plus a few extras we just had to try! The menu changes every 3 months. We got to try some octopus, lamb chop, branzino fish, and for dessert a cherry pie, chocolate mouse, & charcuterie plate of sorts. It's like a 5-star dining experience at a reasonably priced place since they are student chefs. Wonderful food & we are eager to go back soon! Cheers from The Street Angel! .

    Savor is good but not great. It somewhat lacked the 'wow' factor. But, that's just imo. My friend absolutely loved it. We went here for my birthday dinner. Upon the recommendation of the waiter, I opted for a tapas and a three course meal. For tapas, I got the deep fried sea bass. It was good. I got a mocktail to pair with it and it was so refreshing. The first course was octopus which was delicious. The second course was chicken 'paella' type dish. The chicken was a bit chewy in texture and not so good. For dessert, I got the almond cake and I was disappointed with the taste and texture of the cake. Overall, an okay meal, not something that would bring me back to this restaurant. Service btw, was attentive and prompt.

    So much fun to talk with students who are studying at The CIA. Small modern restaurant in the Pearl district. 4 course tasting menu was perfect. Plating was beautiful and the dishes were creative and delicious.

    We were able to enjoy a very special tasting menu from restaurant Latequila Cocina D Mexico, a true Mexican restaurant located in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. This event was hosted by the Culinary Institute of America, San Antonio at their restaurant Savor. The Mexican Chefs showcased their traditional flavors paired with mescal, and tequila. Delicioso!

    A coworker and I visited this restaurant during a work trip. She made reservations in advance and mentioned they can be hard to get so definitely plan ahead. I loved that the students have the opportunity to get experience in all positions, front and back of the house. It's cool to see the food being prepared in the kitchen as well. The menu was a fusion of Italian and Japanese but changes . I was excited to try new flavors and dishes. Everything was delicious. My favorite was the mushroom risotto and the tomato arugula salad. The service was outstanding and the atmosphere of the restaurant was like being at a fine dining experience.With the option to select 3 or 4 courses, alcoholic beverages, wine and coffee, the experience is top tier! I will definitely look forward to visiting during my future visits. After dinner we walked around the area and enjoyed the lights.

    Does anyone know how often they change their menu, or is it based on the current curriculum?

    They change their menu every semester, with a new influx of students.

    What is the dress code for Savor restaurant?

Our other drinks were yummy too don't get me wrong as each of them has key components that made them taste amazing while I did forget the names just know that each one of them was yummy! On this particular night they had a mentalist wondering around doing magic he was fun and added to our evening here so that was a nice touch! Our bartender was awesome and quick to get us our drinks and I must say everything was mixed very well!

We asked the mixologist to put his own spin on old fashions and he delivered. I'm addicted to the spicy cinnamon version that he created! The quail pops were a nice little appetizer although they could have used a bit more seasoning. I think the drink and app prices were very reasonable. Service was laid back and friendly. My only reco would be to maybe put a bit more thought into the vintage decor and secret restroom. The restroom lock was hard to figure out, especially after a drink or two lol. Overall this Speakeasy is a great spot to add a bit of intrigue to your evening.

Morrissey hadn't graced San Antonio in over 10 years, with past cancellations and postponements haunting fans along the way. So when he finally returned, San Antonio Moz fans showed up and showed out. Despite multiple after-party options across the city, fans from Brazil, the UK, Canada, Japan, and all across the U.S. chose Bang Bang Bar as the place to be on a cold Saturday night. Hosted by local emcee Ricardo Moz and Apollo DJ, the night turned into one for the history books. Bang Bang Bar is easily one of Texas' best dive-lounge bars...the perfect blend of gritty and cozy. Great cocktail program, solid beer selection, and a vibe that just works. The décor leans heavy into a 1950s-60s lounge aesthetic, with intimate spaces like the Blue Room and Yellow Room, perfect for groups of 7-10. Low lighting, warm atmosphere, and zero pretension exactly what you want for a night like this. Bang Bang Bar consistently supports local and touring acts, spanning punk, alternative, and DJ-driven nights, and this Moz Smiths Disco was no exception. It was wall-to-wall classics all night long. Major credit to Phanie and the Bang Bang Bar management they rolled up their sleeves, brought in extra bar staff, and handled an overwhelming crowd like pros. Fans waited up to 45 minutes in the cold, with a line wrapping around the building, and the energy inside never dipped. As the host of Panic On The Streets, I'm incredibly thankful to Bang Bang Bar for helping us pull off one of the best after-parties we've done in years. Fittingly, 2026 marks the 10-year anniversary of both Bang Bang Bar and Panic On The Streets of San Antonio and what a way to celebrate.
