“We had the most phenomenal experience at Pharm Table! It’s truly a breath of fresh air in the city’s dining scene. What immediately stood out was their unwavering dedication to ingredient integrity. Every dish feels like it was crafted with both love and deep intention. It’s rare to find a place where the kitchen is so deeply mindful of what goes into each plate, and even rarer to find one that executes it so beautifully, balancing the dishes not just for taste but for overall wellness.

We were lucky to have Sarah as our server — she was absolutely fantastic. She answered all our questions with patience and passion.

Pharm Table has instantly become our new favorite spot in San Antonio. It’s the rare kind of restaurant you leave feeling better than when you arrived. Can’t wait to return when we’re in town!“

“Staying at the Hilton Garden Inn down the street an was looking for someplace easy to get to to have some food. Glad we tried this place ( though I was a little unsure of it as the other side of the building is a poker house) . When we walked in several tables were occupied and looked like they had some tasty food. Hubby chose the bacon turkey avocado sandwich with fries. I saw they had bruschetta as well as a Caprice salad. I wanted the grilled tomato cheese sandwich but add the basil and balsamic. They were willing to oblige me, I can tell you that sandwich was AMAZING! The tomato was grilled as well as having caramelized onions. Such a refreshing summer sandwich. Hubby said that his sandwich was tasty as well. Talking to the waitress she had mentioned that they were just starting to establish the resteraunt side of the business I noted that's why there were only 4 reviews so far. If you would like some tasty food give this place a chance as I think you will be pleasantly surprised. (Even if you don't play poker, the resteraunt side of the building is worth a stop for a great meal! ). Also thanks for the recommendations on what to see & do in the area. You were spot on and they were great recommendations! Thank you!“

“I love Marty’s! Service is phenomenal! The bartenders are super friendly! This is the best neighborhood bar to enjoy a few drinks, play some pool and shoot darts. Free popcorn and karaoke Friday/Saturday nights starting at 9pm. I like the door 😂“

“Fantastic! I had the Karrage chopped salad for lunch and it was delicious. Tastiest chicken I have ever had. Service was great. Intimate atmosphere, good cocktail assortment. Creative menu and different from the usual tourist fare.“

“Breakfast tacos and breakfast plater were amazing. Thank you Chicken lady!“

“This is one of our favorite places to go. We were there this past weekend for our anniversary and the food did not disappoint! My wife had the Scaloppini Di Vitello while I had the Eggplant Parmesan. Both of our selections were very delicious! Great atmosphere and the service was great! Definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a place to go for date night and great dining. We will be coming back!“

“amazingly delicious food as well as 5 star service“

“I took my 3 daughters there and we each brought our fur baby. We sat on the patio and received the BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER HAD. The food was amazing and drinks were 🔥 . The staff at Hemisfair though were the absolute best!!! What an absolute Gem in San Antonio!!! Everything was absolutely AMAZING!!!! This will definitely be the first of many times we will visit.“

“Went for the first time to celebrate my daughter’s birthday and everything was amazing! Service was on point food was delicious Would definitely go back again!“

“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.“

“Stopped in today for lunch. Asked for a booth and the Hostesses we very sweet and accommodating. The place is clean and inviting. Food was great. But It was Sydney our waitress that made the day. Sydney is sweet, professional and friendly. Thank you so much for making our day.“

“Had always eyeballed this place and got tickets as a gift from my son. From the minute, we stepped in there, until the minute we left, I was grinning from ear to ear. It is very special to be around people who genuinely love what they do and that is apparent from the minute Doc Watkins and the band step on the stage.

We were fortunate enough to catch a little bit of Christmas music and a little bit of jazz and it was all wonderful. I will be counting the days until I return.“

“I recently visited sushi hay, and it was an unforgettable experience! The all you can eat sushi and hibachi offer incredible value and an extensive selection. The sushi is fresh and delicious. Each piece is expertly crafted, with a wide variety of rolls, nigiri, and sashimi. The flavors are perfectly balanced, and the presentation is beautiful. The hibachi dishes are cooked to perfection, with tender meats and fresh vegetables. The staff is friendly and attentive, making sure your dining experience is enjoyable from start to finish. The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for a casual meal or a special occasion. Overall, sushi haya offers an amazing dining experience with its all you can eat sushi and hibachi. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food and a fun time!“

“If I could give this place 10+ Stars I would. Such an amazing experience. My first time visiting and it was the absolute best in customer service and the food was fantastic. The customer service really made my night. From accommodating my 3 year old with crayons and princess coloring pages to every single (and I mean every single worker) saying hello and good bye. This place is beyond fantastic. We started the night with no service and no customer service at Deans steak house and ended the light BLOWN away by the workers at Bohanan’s.“

“Service was great, food was out in a jiffy and the vibe was so relaxing. The mimosa was perfectly made, and my food was unique and satisfying! Definitely visiting again 🌼“

“The entire lunch today was most enjoyable. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful; the menu offered a wide variety of choices; the food was delicious, served in generous portions and was attractively presented. The atmosphere is welcoming with a festive decor. We will definitely be returning again!! Thank you!!“

“Stumbled on this place by accident and it was AMAZING. Fresh, delicious and friendly. Peppered tuna 10/10, Chilean Sea bass was exquisite. Toro Sushi roll was full of flavor. Definitely recommend and ask for Tommy.“

“La Canterra location. Gabriel was our server and was outstanding. His recommendations were perfect. He explained every dish he brought out. Ask for him. Being from Spain and cooking paella and making tapas, the food at Toro is authentic and wonderful. I have eaten at many “Spanish” restaurants thru out the US and this has been my favorite! Highly recommend! Ole 💃🏻“

“Food is delicious and well prepared. I thoroughly enjoy dining here. The staff and excellent service is a plus.“

“☕️✨I just have to give a shout out to Kiki's Coffee & Spirits. It is a beautiful Latina-owned coffee shop, that is a warm and inviting space with an inspirational atmosphere that will uplift your day. I have enjoyed the delicious cup of coffee by day and amazing drinks in the evening, I highly recommend you soak up the positive vibes. I even met the shop's pup mascot Kiki!“

“Awesome great atmosphere, friendly staff awesome drinks“

“The service by Cheyenne was outstanding. The oysters on the half shell were awesome. The scallop and shrimp dish with risotto was fabulous. The smoked trout dip was amazing. The only thing we were not satisfied with were the cocktails. They were very pricey and watered down. Will definitely return for the delicious food.“

“I had dinner at Blu Prime Steakhouse on 05/30/25 and was blown away by the excellent service from our waiter, Mathew. From the moment we were seated, he made us feel welcome and comfortable. He was attentive without being intrusive, had great knowledge of the menu, and recommended a ribeye that was absolutely perfect. What stood out most was his timing and attention to detail — our drinks were always full, and he checked in at the perfect time without interrupting our conversation. Overall, Mathew made our evening extra special. I’d definitely return and ask to be seated in his section again. Thanks for the outstanding service!“

“Amazing!!!! If I could give them a 1000 stars I would“

“Sabrina is the best bartender ever!!“

“We loved the restaurant overall but did have an issue with our server. She would “ disappear “ for a while at a time and did not clear dishes / plates along the way. We also had to ask for more water and at the end of our meal we had to go ask Someone to get her to get our check. She may need some feedback and more training on pre-bussing and customer service. Server name was crystal. Overall the drinks and food were great .“

“A friend brought me here, and prejudging from the outside, I was giving him the "side eye". I couldn't have been more wrong. This place was a total vibe. The DJ on that Thursday DID NOT MISS. The drinks were great as well as the service. I would not even think of returning to San Antonio without stopping by again.“

“This is our fourth trip to Four Brothers and as usual, this phenomenal San Antonio Riverwalk gem should not be missed! It's eclectic mixture of classic, southern, Texas, and subtle mix of provincial French cuisine should not be missed. The bar program is superb with excellent Mixology and interesting variations of classic cocktails and Long drinks. The service is always impeccable and the dessert and pastry service is likewise outstanding. Do yourself a favor and eat there once, and I'm sure, like us, you'll be eating there often! E+L“

“Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!!!“

“Frank and Ted made us feel like we were locals. Such a cool, chill place with great drinks and phenomenal staff.“

“Beautiful place, very chill, great food options and the owner and staff are all super friendly. We will definitely be going back soon.“

“Construction makes it difficult to get to and layout is much different from fun original location. I prefer 1st location. 5 stars for that place all around.

Parking: Very difficult to find because of construction. Was able to locate using Google maps for walking after parking nearby“

“We are visiting from Southern California and O M G! These pancakes are the best I’ve ever had! Big, thick, fluffy, and creamy. No syrup needed, but that Vermont Maple puts these over the top! 10/10 recommend! We will definitely be coming here to eat on our next visit to San Antonio“

“We truly enjoyed our time at TRYST!!!!!

The patio was an amazing experience, Cigar friendly with music and large TV screens.

Guys, This is a no brainer; your woman will love the drinks and cocktails and the vibe is chill.
Melissa was the best server.“
