Enjoyed a nice meal among the beautiful holiday decor of Hotel Contessa. Patio seating is available under the lights of the riverwalk, adjacent to marriage island. Steaks were delicious Japanese Akaushi beef cooked to perfection and the creme brulee is a must. Valet parking will be validated for all Ambler patrons and if you are lucky, the ducks will visit on the patio.

Aneesa (sorry if I butchered the spelling) was our phenomenal server. She gave great recommendations, was very attentive, and made the entire dinner really special. We will definitely be back and will ask for her! The food was 10/10, my favorite meal in San Antonio. We travel a lot for work and eat at a lot of restaurants, but Aneesa was absolutely fantastic and helped make this place very memorable for us! Can’t wait to come back!!
