This downtown bar, located on the Riverwalk, has some of the most delicious food and drinks we’ve had in San Antonio! Many of the items on their menu are familiar but are somehow better than any we’ve had elsewhere. Try their fried pickles, Frito pie, and Moscow mule! (*Just FYI this restaurant can be loud and at night they dim the lights pretty low. Also, most downtown restaurants will require you to park in a parking garage & walk to your destination.. this one's on the Riverwalk though so the walk isn't so bad :))

If you’re looking for a fancy sit-down (think special occasion), this is it. We celebrated our anniversary here and enjoyed getting dressed up and having an “experience”. The restaurant is beautiful as is the food. We were thoroughly impressed with the gold leaf risotto, scallops, and rack of lamb.
