  Maybe 3.5 stars... the food was the best part, although my filet was overcooked. Came out more medium-well than medium-rare (what I ordered). It was a good cut of meat though. A couple of coworkers ordered the chicken parm... both very disappointed, said it was overcooked and tough. Others had the lasagna and their reaction was a "Meh, it was ok." I was with a group of nine coworkers and they assigned one waitress to our group. Slow and missed some drink orders. Atmosphere is DARK and seemed pretty noisy (6:45 PM reservations). It was challenge to read the menu and carry on a conversation with anyone across the table. If you're debating and have a choice, there are other options I would recommend. The Palm is a nice place with OK food.

  W-O-W that spells WOW! The whole staff here could not be more accommodating! Let me give a huge shout out to my favorite... AMY! 1ST class service by first class personnel! I can't come back often enough. If I came 10 times in a week, I wish I came 25. This is a Cheers type vibe and you'd be hard pressed to fine anywhere in San Antonio where they will be more kind to you! Secondary shout out to Tito. Amy is the one but Tito is a good egg too. Thanks for always taking care of me yall! I LOVE IT HERE!!!! COME GET YOU SOME!

  It was hit and miss for our first time. We went for Valentine's Day and got their signature drink, Ti Amo, which was okay. My husband got the New York Strip and I got the Osso Bucco. We got mac and cheese and mashed potatoes to share. My husband's steak was perfect. My food was bland. Didn't taste any salt or any cacio e pepe sauce, I just tasted tomatoes. The meat was fork tender though and one I got home, I was able to season the good better. Both sides were also bland and the mashed potatoes were stiff and lumpy. My husband and I, also got a second drink. I didn't like mine, but my husband's margarita was one of the best I've had so far. Service and atmosphere were on point. Jarvis took care of us and another gentleman, who's name I didn't catch, packed up my food and brought me extra bread without me asking.

  My boyfriend—now fiancé—planned the most beautiful surprise proposal at this restaurant, and I truly cannot put into words how incredible the experience was. I had no idea what was happening all night, but behind the scenes, Manager Belinda and our amazing server Jarvis were helping make everything absolutely perfect. The level of care, detail, and love they put into this moment was beyond anything I could have imagined. They stayed an hour and a half past closing time—along with the entire restaurant staff—just to make sure everything went smoothly. That kind of dedication is rare and speaks volumes about the heart of this establishment. Belinda and Jarvis went above and beyond in every possible way. If they don’t receive recognition or a raise, they truly are not appreciated enough. The food was a 10/10, the service was a 10/10, and the atmosphere was unforgettable. I have never felt so supported, celebrated, and cared for by a restaurant team. We will absolutely be back for our anniversary next year—and many more special moments to come. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. Don’t even look at the prices—the experience alone is worth it. Thank you for making one of the most important nights of our lives magical Belinda and Jarvis. 💕

  Overpriced food. Extremely slow service. Waitress forgot the appetizer. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly and tasted great. Excellent crust. The bread was stale. The potatoes au gratin were decent. The chicken parm was not good at all. There was also a $100 cancellation fee for a party of two for our reservation. I highly recommend checking the other reviews. Slow service is a known issue at this restaurant and I wish I’d know prior to going. I don’t recommend this restaurant — there are many more fairly priced restaurants in San Antonio with excellent service and great food
