    Amazing food with excellent service. Rodrigo gave our table detailed attention even though he was also overseeing a large party in their group room. Tuna appetizer was especially delicious. A little out of the way but definitely worth it. Only drawbacks were the noise level-we were still able to hear each other but it isn’t a quiet setting-and the chairs were not the most comfortable. Those were minor complaints because the food was so good. We would make a point to return when we are in San Antonio again.

    Entrees, Drinks, and Service were quite good. Still much construction in the area. The concept and quality are quite attractive. In 2 years this area will be a happening extension of the Pearl.
