“Stumbled upon a VIBE! We were not able to get an Uber back from the Alamodome to Saint Anthony Hotel, so walked a few blocks to this cute house, good cocktails, and the best part the DJ playing on the night of 4th of July was chefs kiss. Id come back here the next time im in SA.“

“This church has been my home since 2002. My kids have grown up here and have formed forever bonds here. This place is love, this place is family, this place is home!“

“James *our waiter* and Mehdi *the amazing chef* were absolutely phenomenal. The good was very flavorful and delicious. We were celebrating a birthday and he went above and beyond with the strawberry shortcake dessert 🍰 for not just the birthday girl but the entire party of 5 got to partake. The Salmon BLT is a 10/10! Spicy Crab and Avocado and the SW Chicken Sandwich both superb. We will definitely be back. All around *chefs kiss*“

“Excellent Food, Outstanding Service, and a Great Experience!

Our visit to Cappyccino’s was fantastic! From the delicious food to the exceptional service, everything made for a wonderful dining experience.

Elisa provided outstanding service! She was attentive, frequently checking to make sure our drinks were filled and that we had everything we needed, without ever being overbearing. Kyle, the General Manager, also took the time to answer our questions about their other family-owned restaurants. We really appreciated his friendliness and willingness to share!

Now, let’s talk about the food!

Crab Rangoon Dip: Served with chile crisp and wonton chips, this appetizer was incredibly savory and packed with flavor! A little tip: If you’re not a fan of spicy food, ask them to leave off the extra chili flakes on top.

Asian Salad with Chicken: A delicious combination of Asian slaw, wontons, peanuts, chile, and cilantro. Every bite was bursting with flavor! My recommendation: If you prefer your chicken breast to soak up more of that delicious Asian flavor, request extra dressing on the side.

Steak Melt: WOW! This sandwich was loaded with generous portions of incredibly tender marinated ribeye and tenderloin, caramelized onions, Swiss cheese, and horseradish mayo on toasted French bread, accompanied by a flavorful rosemary garlic beef jus. Definitely not a sandwich that skimps on the meat! The accompanying Caesar salad was equally delicious and full of flavor.

Overall, Cappyccino’s delivered on both food and hospitality! It’s refreshing to experience a restaurant where the staff genuinely cares about their guests and the food lives up to expectations.

We’ll definitely be returning to Cappyccino’s, and we’re now looking forward to exploring their other family-owned restaurants as well!“

“This hidden gem is a fantastic find. It features a prix fixe menu, changing frequently, with a couple of choices for each course. We just ordered one of everything, and it was all incredible. Very French. High end food with a comfortable, neighborhood atmosphere. Well priced. Amazing wine list. Small dining area, so reservation recommended. But for just one or two, you might be able to squeeze into the bar. Don’t miss this one!“

“Exelente,se duerme muy agusto!“

“In San Antonio for a short work trip and chose Courtyard North Star Mall location. Tired from travel I checked in and was greeted by Linda at the reception desk whose warm smile and genuine welcome reassured me that Courtyard was the right choice. Choosing not to go out I came to the bistro on both nights of my stay and let me say right now that Mary Jane went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and valued not only as a Marriott Member but as a person and of note, she treated each and every guest equally with her warm smile and attentive service. A true treasure to come to Bistro both nights. When my travels come back to San Antonio this is where I will stay. Way to go Mary Jane!!!!“

“We were here in May 2023, really enjoyed ourselves, and decided to try the Gondola ride and the Sky Bistro restaurant for lunch in December. It had snowed and the views were crisp and breathtaking from the Sky Bistro. You will find the Sky Bistro to be fine dining. Excellent customer service. Well-prepared cuisine. Excellent wine list. You will find the Gondola ride, walking steps, terrace view and restaurants to be well worth the trip.“
