“Corinne,what a wonderful jewel. The decor and the setting is out standing but it was Jorge and Mike that put this experience over the top. The single guy at the bar often draws little attention but this team made it feel like I showed up with a Vip crew.
Great input on the menu and on the hotel for a future stay. Thanks for an amazing evening.“

“My date and I had a great time. Thank you.“

“Last week I was one in a group of twelve who had an amazing experience dining at Ida Claire. All agreed that the food was excellently prepared and tasty. Those of us who ordered bread pudding thought it was wonderful. The service was top notch, thanks to our awesome server King. King was not at all intimidated by the number in our party. He was personable, knowledgeable, attentive, and accurate. We would certainly go there again.“

“Great food and Great Service“

“Our waiter abandoned us in the middle of the meal, we would’ve had a few more drinks if he ever came back around. We saw him leave the restaurant. We had to grab someone and ask for our check. We had the seafood platter, the fries were barely cooked, it was like eating a raw potato. The shrimp and fish with it were great. We don’t know how they messed up fries though.“

“Amazing food. The drinks complimented the food perfectly, and we enjoyed every single bite of our meal. The service was on point, and you can tell there is a lot of thought put into the menu each week. Nice atmosphere. The setting is both casual and intimate. We will absolutely sign up foe the weekly menu emails and be back. Perfect date night location. Vegetarian and GF options available.“

“The guys at Bunz are amazing. We had a group of 32 roll through, and they were patient with our tween. Every single order was made fresh and came out correctly. Food was delicious. The team came to check on us multiple times to make sure everything was good.“

“Went here for a team lunch and decided to try the roasted poblano soup. It was so creamy, tasty, not spicy but flavorful, it satisfied my soup craving. I also tried the half Italian sandwich and a bite of the ultimate sandwich. I love sprouts on sandwiches, it was such a truck sandwich! Everyone enjoyed their meals and the ambiance of eating al fresco.“

“Excellent service and food was great. We had a small problem with some extra hot peppers on a pizza that should not have been so fiery and Jackie the manager took care of it. Would definitely go back:)“

“We are from NY and this was our 2nd time in SA, I met your server Ashley across the street & she informed she worked for you. We came for dinner the following evening and Ashley was 1000 amazing! I wasn’t feeling well and she treated me like a Queen. As an ex server myself I must say she was wonderful!!! Best service !! She deserves a raise !! she was perfect in every way. She was the sweetest and kindest person to us. Even got me a water to go for my upset stomach! We will definitely come again when we come back to visit! Ashley you ROCK!!!“

“I love the Guenther House. I always visit here when my sisters are in town. Parking is great, close, and free. The ladies' room is very nice. We had about a 20-minute wait for this visit. We waited in the little shop they have and my sister found fun Texas items to bring home to Michigan as gifts. The food is usually top-notch, but on this visit, it was a bit lacking. My biscuits, which are usually wonderful and hot, came out barely warm. Service seemed a bit rushed, and I had to ask 3 times for the jam the waiter said he would bring right out. We sat in the 1st room, which I call the garden room due to all the beautiful windows. My only issue is with the chairs in that room being very small and lightweight. If you have any problems walking and standing up from a sitting position, do ask to sit in the other room where the chairs are more substantial. I will go back again. Every place has off days, and I guess we caught one.“

“Everything there is fresh… Do you want to taste a good burger? Try this one!“

“Atmosphere and service was wonderful. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. It is small and quaint do not too noisy. Food came out hot not lukewarm like other places. Our waitress Ahlyssa was so nice and made great recommendations. I will definitely be going back.“

“First went there earlier this year, impressed us the minute we walked in the door, employees greet you upon entering with a truly warm, illuminating smile. When we were seated, we wanted to watch a certain game and the manager, Laura really went out of her way, bent over backwards to ensure they found the game(s) we wanted to watch, then ensured that the games would stay on ! The waitress who waited on us ( can't remember her name ) was exactly like the manager, helpful, courteous and quick with her service, thus resulting in making this our favorite location for watching sports with the drinks and menu items to order, with this type service, we will always make this our number 1 location !! Thank You For Everything !!“

“First time going, we are from uvalde loved the atmosphere, our waitress Sara was the best hope to catch some games one Sunday soon.“

“I stopped in for breakfast and LOVED it. Any diner that has multiple old man groups, a cake and pie cooler front and center, and a lunch counter you can sit at, sign me up. They are bound to have good vittles! And Jim’s did not disappoint. I got the Texas Two Step breakfast. The pancakes were some of the best I’ve had. Sweet, moist, and fluffy. You almost didn’t need any syrup. I was very impressed. The bacon and eggs were just extra to make it all good. The menu looked fantastic and I hope to come back to SA one day to try out other things. Until then, keep doing your thing Jim’s!“

“Service was exceptional, server Amanda was very attentive, amazing attitude. Breakfast was great. Place was clean“

“Caleb is one of the best bartenders. He is an exceptional young man and very professional at his job!“

“Francisco was an excellent waiter! We enjoyed our anniversary lunch there and he made it extra special! He was the friendliest person that we met in San Antonio. A table by the river walk and the heart island made it even better. We highly recommend the goat cheese, the soup, and the tacos. We will return when we are back to this area.“

“We've eaten all over the world, and those Brussels sprouts are to die for! Also, the beef tartare is superior. It would be nice to see some more international wines on the wine list. We will be back!“
