    I had heard about this borderline speakeasy whiskey bar in San Antonio, so, a buddy and I decided…read moreto get a night cap there one evening Initially, you walk up to what looks like the exterior of a nice British bookstore. Inside the ambiance is a mix between a bougie lounge, an elevated pub, and a whiskey bar. The lighting is intimate, there is fun decor and furniture all around The staff were friendly and professional. They are more dressed up than your typical bartenders, and each drink is artisanal and made with care The menu offers a variety of drinks, but make no mistake, this is a whiskey bar, so, whiskey is the main draw. And there's whiskeys from all over. You can have a cocktail, neat, on the rocks, etc. You can find very rare whiskeys, top shelf, and more. This is an experience, so, I wouldn't expect inexpensive drinks, but it's not crazy prices Some tips: Ask your bartender about "Flight Club" (whiskey flights) They also have an impressive humidor, and if you want to enjoy a cigar you can, but you might have to sit on the covered patio outside Cheers!!

    We stopped into Stone Terrace Gastropub on a random Monday night and were honestly blown away. The…read morebeef flight was outstanding!! Perfectly cooked, flavorful, and a great way to try a variety of cuts. The lobster bisque was just as impressive; so rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. The drinks were perfect!! we had a French 75 and an Old Fashioned, both expertly made and the perfect complement to the meal. On top of everything, the service was excellent. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. Definitely didn't expect a Monday night to turn into such a great dining experience. We'll absolutely be back!! New fav spot!!

    I went for brunch on a Saturday. We tried a few items on their menu and shared between four of us…read more We started with the avocado toast crostini and the berry and goat cheese crostini. Both were very good. The avocado toast had a distinct lemon taste to it. The berry and goat cheese were excellent. The goat cheese, and the sweet berries made a great combination. For our main meals, we shared the eggs Benedict Trio, the Chilaquiles, the berry lemon croffle, and the banana foster French toast. The eggs Benedict Trio comes with a choice of three eggs Benedict from their menu. We had the original with Canadian bacon, the green chili pulled pork and the crabcake. Everyone loved the green chili pulled pork. The Chilaquiles came with your choice of red or green salsa. I chose the green one. It was a little spicy. It came with two eggs. I thought that it was missing some cheese. It could've also used a little bit more salsa. The banana foster French toast was to die for. Very good and definitely tastes like banana foster. The croffle was a great addition to our meal. We thought it was very good. Half of us had never had a croffle and now we are in love with them. They did give us a free desserts as we were celebrating my friend's birthday. For drinks I had the elderflower spritz. It's a little on the sweet side for me. The sangria was perfect. My friends had the bloody Mary and they liked them. They have inside and outside seating. They do take reservations. There's parking on site, but shared with the other businesses. The Waitress very nice. She was working the inside and the outside, But we never had an issue getting her attention or with any of our requests

BUT after sitting for 15 minutes and finally giving up on service and heading to the bar ( where the one person serving asked if we had already been helped - WHO do you think helped us ?? Santa Claus ) . She clearly did not want to work!! We were told that the kitchen was closed - at 6pm!! JW - update your website or heck just a sign at each restaurant to let people know the status! It's not that hard and the waiter we did end up with told us that various restaurants close each night depending on occupancy?! Grabbed a drink; and an appetizer from the sports bar and called it a night ! However Fernando who was one of the waiters was a stand out - checked in with customers and was as very attentive ! He's a stellar employee that the JW should be proud of !

    Spent Memorial Day weekend at JW Marriott for a staycation and it was an amazing time…read more The Crooked Branch is in the middle of all the action here at the JW and the vibe is causal and chill. The staff is extremely friendly and makes you feel welcome enough to have a drink at your leisure while kicking back in the comfortable chairs. With live music in the background, this was the perfect place to recap our fun day and watch other guests come and go. Smiles were abundant and laughter was in the air. Even though we visited in May, the Texas heat did not discourage us from sitting in front of the fire place and decompress. We did manage to have dinner here one night and the sushi was delicious to start. With our main entrees of the Karaage Fried Chicken & the Pork Belly bowl not only hit the spot, but after a fun day floating down the lazy river, it was the right combination to end our night. That is of course, after the special brownie surprise dessert.

It's located in a shopping center in the Stone Oak area with plenty of parking, even though we went late on a Friday night. The indoor dining was clean, spacious and enough tables to accommodate several parties. Live music for entertainment made for a relaxing time. The indoor lighting had a slight blue tint to provide more of a layback experience. The coconut shrimp appetizer was a good choice and very tasty. The Mojarra Chicharron, whole deep fried Tilapia, was not only delicious, but the presentation was perfect. Precut fried chunks placed on top of the fish made it easy to dip in the sauce and eat. Wifey went with the Pasado Del Rio, filet of Salmon, with lemon butter. It was well prepared and had a good blend of flavors. The prices were fair compared to other upscale seafood restaurants with entrees in the $20 range but also offer some Chef specials up to $75 for a shared meal. The service was adequate even though our server had a large table next to us. Others stepped in and picked up the slack, thus saving the night.

    I genuinely thought this was going to be a sports bar vibe, and I was pleasantly surprised to find…read morethat it was a Biergarten and almost pub vibe I was meeting a friend for happy hour and some bites, and we landed on the spot. I will say the GPS got a little confused in the route for some reason and I nearly missed an exit and even the entrance (there was some construction going on) There is plenty of parking, but the parking lot was pretty full. You walk up and either walk through the courtyard style Biergarten with tables or you can go inside. It was an unseasonably nice day, so, we opted to sit outside There is a QR code to view the menus. There are entrees and plenty of apps/sharables. There is also a very extensive beer menu. Make no mistake, this is their bread and butter. They boast an imprecise "99 beers on tap." There's local brews, light and dark beers, hoppy, Belgium style, German style, wheat, etc etc etc. if that's not your speed there are cocktails and non-alcoholic options. Our server was fantastic. She was very kind and patient with us. We were constantly checked in on, but not in a hovering way or a pressure to leave. Our food and drinks always came out in a timely manner. She made us feel well taken care of The drinks hit the spot, and the food was tasty. It was definitely a chill vibe/hang. We were there for hours just catching up, and we saw other happy hours, birthday parties, dates, bachelorette parties, etc Some tips: I did order a couple beers that they were temporarily out of, but there are so many beers to pivot to. Also, our server was incredibly helpful in offering other suggestions, similar suggestions, and asking the right questions to help land in the next alternative They are not open Mondays, and they're only open until 11pm Tuesday-Thursday (and Sunday). Friday and Saturday they're open til 1am. Also, on Saturdays and Sunday's they offer brunch from 11am-3pm) The Reuben was surprisingly delicious Cheers!!

It's been a while since have done brunch and o won't be in a hurry to return to brunch specifically The service was superb, we had a great server and he was absolutely on top of everything which was great! Beers were also great as was the mimosa I had and the kids we were with seemed to like their meals which came out last and they said theirs were hot - ours were not unfortunately. I had the Lox eggs Benedict and in retrospect should have sent it back as it was stone cold! My husband and our friend got the biscuits and gravy and also reported that they were cold - it was also served in a bowl which was a bad idea as the biscuits completely soaked up the gravy and resembled oatmeal by the time it hit the table! We got one meal - waffles and chicken to go and the waffles were inedible- poorly mixed, gritty and so much hot sauce in the mixture that they burned the back of the throat - they had to be trashed ! I love this place but won't return in a hurry for brunch - granted multiple dishes with eggs are hard to time right so we ended up with cold food that did however taste good
