The Marriott Tribute Portfolio property sits along a quieter stretch of the River Walk between Pearl and downtown, with sleek interiors, an outdoor fireplace lounge, lush greenery and a river-facing patio. Ducks, joggers, people-watching and glowing hanging lights after sunset make it feel like a little hotel holiday without leaving the city. Service has always been friendly and accommodating to our preferences, and the menu is surprisingly robust with New Orleans-inspired Cajun and seafood flavors alongside steaks, pasta, duck, lamb and Southern comfort dishes. Our repeat fave is the fried calamari -- crispy, savory and brightened up with jalapeños, chile flakes, sauce and grilled lemon. The beau keeps raving about the Diablo pasta. The catfish nuggets were a bit drier for us, but a side of the marina sauce brought them right back to life along with tartar sauce. For next time: frog legs and alligator appetizers on the menu! One of our serendipitous moments was walking along and were spotted by friends already seated here, waving us over from across the River Walk to join them. That pretty much sums up the charm -- scenic, easygoing and social. Great for daily happy hour, al fresco dining or a relaxed stop between Pearl and downtown when you want the River Walk experience with calmer space.

They were very attentive to every guest and the quality of their meals and their experience. When I mentioned the issue I had with my entree the manager possibly owner immediately took the feedback and said he would personally make a change for me when I came back. He prob won't remember me but the fact he listened was great. Our waitress was also super on point, kept drinks full, recommended and was generally a treat. As far as the food, we tried the Adriatic shrimp with extra shrimp. Worth. Every. Dollar. It was so good. My entree was the Pollo e Monet and my friend had the Pasta el Nero. Let me say straight away she enjoyed here. For mine the chicken was cooked perfectly and the sun dried tomatoes were very fresh. Where it went off was the duck fat potatoes. Between the lemon butter sauce and the duck fat they were soggy and greasy. I coudn't enjoy them. Everything else was spot on. The parking is a mess but there's a back entrance from the back lot so not terrible. It's very loud in there tho. Have to speak up to have a convo but it's a welcoming vibe. Def on the return list.

This was excellent…read more I added this to my list after seeing its outstanding reviews on Google and Yelp in case we had spare time on our business trip, being in San Antonio from Tampa - we had that extra time and ended up here and it's great that we did. I called ahead of time asking if they had availability for 6 guests at around 6 PM and they said that it shouldn't be a problem, but they can't guarantee that we'd be seated right away... sold! We arrived and while the set up the table, Charlene welcomed us to hang out at the bar. We were then greeted by Ben, who we came to find out was one of the owners of the restaurant. He spoke with us briefly as our table was being set up, welcoming us in. Within 3 minutes of coming in, they set up a table for us in the corner of the restaurant and had us seated. The place is small (not tiny) and even on a Wednesday at 6 PM, it was clearly a popular spot... we would continue to find out why that was the case. Forgive me, as I cannot remember our waitresses' name, but she was great. She handed us our menus and let us be as we needed a moment to make our decisions. The front of the menu tells the humble story of how the restaurant came to be - definitely worth a read while you are waiting. Our waitress came back and took our drink and food orders. At the same time, I asked if she could have Ben come over as we wanted to hear more about his story after reading the brief story on the front of the menu. He came over and talked to us for ~5 minutes telling us about how he ended up in the States after leaving his home and how the restaurant came to be - from that alone, my experience had already been elevated and I was even more excited for the remainder of the experience to come. The drinks arrived, followed by the food, which we ordered (mostly) solely on Ben's recommendations. Everything looked delicious and as we were told by Ben, it was all fresh, purchased that day from the market and cooked to order. We started with the fried mozzarella, which was unique to me, in that it had no marinara but instead, spicy honey and sesame seeds and was fried in beef tallow - it was great. I ordered the Chicken Parm, which had fresh mozzarella poured into it at the table - the mozzarella smelled (and tasted) AMAZING. The dish has select bites throughout it that had some spice to it - I'd say that the spice level was about a 3/10, coming from someone who doesn't have the highest spice tolerance. The flavor/satisfaction level? 10/10. Typically, I'm not a dessert guy, but because of how good the experience was up to this point, I had to indulge. I ordered the crème brûlée and was not disappointed. Good temperature, good, mild flavor and presentation. This experience was excellent. From the unsuspecting setting, the greeting, the noise level in the restaurant, the attentiveness of the servers, the presentation and flavor of the food, to the staff asking how everything was and holding the door for us as we left, this is an exemplary example of how hospitality/service should be done. Ben, hopefully you are extremely proud of the team you have put together and the establishment you have made over the past two years. Very well done and thank you for your hospitality. If we are ever in town again, this will DEFINITELY be a stop that we make. Cheers.

They change up the vinyls a couple times when we dined but they usually play the whole album. The food is more elevated than expected. The lobster was interesting because it came with this potato soup mash we never had before but it was pretty tasty. Lobster tail was cooked well but it was around $30+ and wasn't satisfying for a main entree. The Wagyu skewer was okay. We expected a fattier cut of meat but it tasted like normal steak to me. The sashimi bowl was good! Every piece of fish was fresh and unique. I really enjoyed it and it was a good portion size for a main entree compared to the lobster. The calamari is definitely a must try! We loved it and probably the best calamari we've had. Overall, we enjoyed the ambiance and service was great. But the menu is definitely a lot more elevated and for people with more "exquisite" tastes.

We didn't realize this place was a cousin of Shiro and owned by the same guy until we saw some similarities in their style, layout and menu but nevertheless, the food was still absolutely amazing. Even though the ambiance had some similarities, I'm glad their food options were distinguished because otherwise could have just gone downtown. You cannot go wrong with any of their food options. Highly recommend doing family style so you can get a taste of everything and all the different flavors. We started with the gyoza and calamari which were to die for and were not greasy at all. Pork ssam, wagyu, miso pasta and octopus all brought a little bit of their own element and flare to your palate that it's hard to describe unless you try it. Wagyu was just melt in your mouth delicious. Pork ssam and octopus had their crunchy texture and umami flavors. The miso pasta added a light refreshing touch to balance everything out but don't let it fool ya, the noodles will expand in your stomach. We topped it off with their yuzu cake. Our only disappointment was they were out of their other desserts but nevertheless everyone of us left full and happy. Would come here again.

The dining area is spacious, there are tvs above the bar, the volume of the place was a bit loud but didn't bother me. The salmon dish I had was absolutely divine. The salmon was cooked perfectly, the spinach was fresh and not over cooked and the mashed potatoes were fluffy and delicious. I visited around 4pm and there was already a nice crowd, but there wasn't a wait. I see this is place having a wait in the evening though. The tables can be expanded so this is a good place for groups as well! The kitchen manager even came out to ask me how my visit was and that really tells you a lot about this place. They really want to make sure you enjoy your time. The prices may be on the high side for some but I believe the quality of the food and the service merits the price. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and will definitely be back!

They are crunchy and the sauce adheres so well without making them soggy. The green beans, red beans, and wedges are great options for sides to accompany the fish and wings.
