- RRachel and TerryvipLas Vegas •68 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoAtmosphere was elegant and comfortable. Service was impeccable. We had a noisy table of 7 or 8 people beside us. There was a bar 2 stories below us with a piano singer that was piped throughout the building so fairly noisy. We both got steaks,I ordered the American 6oz wagyu that was not even hot when I received it. Only ate 1/4 of it. This 6 Oz steak was sliced very thin...was a disappointment and flavor that wasn't anything special. It was priced 1.00 higher then my husband's 8oz thick cut filet that was hot upon receiving it. BREAD is not complimentary but was brought to us without us being asked if we wanted it but there is a $5.00 charge for bread although it was amazing. Pretzel bread addictive. If you order a double cocktail well drink be prepared to be charged like you ordered 2 cocktails. My husband's crown and 7 double in a tall glass was 34.00 each😲. Shrimp cocktail was amazing and the cocktails were really good. Total bill for 2 was 270.00....bring your 💰🤑More infoBrenner's on the River WalkPrice: Moderate• Steakhouse• Downtown•4.7

- MMaureenPhiladelphia County •23 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe went for our 38th Anniversary and the evening was perfect! It was probably the absolute best dining experience we have ever had! From the moment we entered the front door every single employee that greeted us was impeccable. They were friendly, extremely accommodating and attentive. I have certain dietary restrictions and they went above and beyond to be accommodating. Our server Brad was a true credit to his profession and made our entire night fabulous! Our meal, of course, was delicious but the entire experience was what did it for us! Well done Bonahan’s, well done!More infoBohanan's Prime Steaks and SeafoodPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Downtown•4.8

- MMarthaSan Antonio •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoWe went to Paesanos before attending an event at the Majestic. We made reservations for two hours beforehand. We were greeted and seated promptly. Our order was taken quickly. Nonetheless, it was 45 minutes to an hour before the entrees arrived. Some in our party had salads brought earlier. Bread was provided. As we were with friends we were well entertained, however, I began to get nervous about the time element. We were not truly kept abreast of the delay. The food was excellent as always. Perhaps the wait staff was understaffed as there was less attention than I thought appropriate. My husband had to get up and get someone to bring a reorder of his coffee even though the waiter had taken his cup to refill. Nonetheless if you have plenty of time and are enjoying visiting with friends, the food is outstanding.More infoPaesanos - River WalkPrice: Moderate• Italian• Downtown•4.6

It comes as no surprise that Frito pie is a staple in the birthplace of Fritos. No one knows who first buried the chips in steaming chili, cheese and chopped onion, but the mystery chef is practically sainted around here. Tex-Mex cuisine is distinctly different from authentic Mexican, but both are found in abundance in Downtown San Antonio. You can thank indigenous peoples for the tortillas and tamales that appear alongside enchiladas, spicy rice and refried beans on your combo plate at the many Mexican restaurants in the area. Tacos and tequila have always paired well, but craft cocktail bars have elevated both. Who knew that a soft-shell taco with seared ahi tuna would be a hit in the Alamo City?
