Located at the "Gateway to Southtown," the Historic and Majestic Firehouse #7 is home to Battalion. After a nearly two year renovation, "The Rock" has been restored as the crown jewel of Southtown. Overlooking the spectacular downtown cityscape and the famous Tower of Americas, Battalion's contemporary design merges perfectly alongside the historic building's strong, yet weathered 1920's craftsmanship. Chef Davis has created an extensive menu of fresh pastas, char-grilled meats, stunning vegetable dishes and Italian classics. Complimenting the menu is a comprehensive wine list and a refreshingly original cocktail program.

    We ordered the meatballs and they were raw in the middle. Pasta was mediocre. The restaurant is pretty loud.

    Our server Julie was outstanding! She was very attentive and offered many suggestions since that was our first visit. Julie was very welcoming, friendly and enthusiastic. She also presented my husband with a complimentary dessert for his birthday! We give Battalion a five out of five stars!

    We go too Battalions whenever we visit San Antonio. It is one of our favorite restaurants. We started with the spinach dumplings, always a treat. For the pasta dish we chose the lasagna, then the chicken parmesan and charred broccoli. We really enjoyed the dumplings with their truffle cream sauce. the lasagna had a good flavor, but somewhat dry. the Chicken parmesan was a little tough. None of the food was very hot and it seemed as if t had been sitting out for a bit. The service was, as always wonderful, and i love the atmosphere l, being in an old fire station in a cool part of town. We will go back, just hope a little more attention is placed on the details and especially the temperature of the food.

    Amazing food and even better overall experience! Love everything about this place! We were a large group and waited for the table for 40 mins but the owner and staff more than made up for it in every way. This place is a can’t miss when you’re in San Antonio!
