We were the only two people there it was 7pm the waitress had to do a costume change. We never got our water till we left. The cabbage was tough. The Tacos were cold and the meat was horrible. Menu was extremely limited it was recommended we order one item off every stage. Glad we did not make that mistake. We were still hungry and had to go to Cootys where the food is always good and the drinks are cheap. I would spend my money else where on the river walk like Acenar.

We came across the fun and interesting Roof Top Bar that had a great view and relaxed atmosphere. I was impressed by the craft cocktail drinks and the waiter was a great host.
The waiter was very knowledgeable in the mixology of making cocktails drinks, which made our evening more memorable and fun.
This Roof Too Bar made for a great date night.
We highly recommend!

Food, Service and Ambience were Impeccably Amazing. This is the place to go and step back to enjoy life to the fullest. They mean it when they say you'll need at least two hours, we were there for 3 and it was one of our most memorable moments. The food is truly indescribable and it will bring healing to your soul if you take the time to savory the unique combination of deep and rich flavors. Selfishly I want to keep this little piece of heaven to myself, but because our world needs more happiness, I decided to share our experience. This is a very special place and I guarantee it'll be one of your best dining experiences, should you decide to go.
If you're going here for Sunday Drag Brunch....DONT!First, they charge a $30 entrance fee. I was under the assumption when I purchased this ticket that it was for the buffet at the brunch. No, it is an entrance fee just to be allowed into the show. I have been attending drag brunches for 25 yrs and have never been charged an entrance fee. Even in more metropolitan areas such as NYC.Second, after you pay the $30 entrance fee you have to pay $20 for their buffet. This buffet was by far the worse spread I have ever seen in my life. I had better food at my elementary school cafeteria. Chips with salsa on top that supposed to be Chilaquiles (gross). Some eggs, bacon, and fruit. And they have the nerve to charge $20 for this. $5 for a can of diet coke. I am not cheap when it comes to food. I will spend. But this was glorified hospital food.Third, this is a drag show so I expected to at least see members of the LGBT community in the audience. After looking around the room it was obvious that most of the people attending were straight women. And it's also why this place is able to charge $30 to get in because straight people don't know they're being played. They probably think its normal to be charged $30 to attend a drag brunch. I also don't want to attend a drag brunch with a bunch of straight women.Fourth, WE NEVER EVEN GOT TO SEE THE SHOW! They were late because apparently the DJ overslept or was drunk from Fiesta. It was almost 1pm and they had not started. So we sat there for almost 2 hours eating chips with salsa on top that we paid $20 for. We paid our tab and walked out. I will never return to this place.

Had a wonderful dinner experience here, while visiting San Antonio with my husband. From the views, to the cleanliness, to the hospitality and the entire setting. We took the stairs and enjoyed the art going up.Now, the food... absolutely delicious. We started with the Ribeye Croncantes that was on the cocktail menu. Followed up with a salmon sushi roll (cannot remember the name of the dish), and the Taco Lust. Every plate was beautifully presented and incredibly tasty. The waitress was welcoming, attentive and friendly. Steve‐ the manager also, checked on us a couple of times.The open outdoor kitchen was impressive. We could taste the commitment, love and passion in every plate.This will definitely be a place we will return to in future SA trips and we are grateful it was part of our memorable weekend. ♡

We were the only two people in the restaurant and it took almost 30 minutes for each drink and another 45 for appetizers. A lot of potential, but terrible service. No wonder we were the only two people in the restaurant.
Server failed to disclose that we would get charged $5 for each water. Did not show me my check until asked and just gave me a few seconds to browse it. When I got the text message with the final check, I realized that I had paid for something we did not order.
Waited almost an hour for 1 of 4 dishes my husband and I ordered, not even our drinks were received during the wait, waitress also did not check in on us or updated us on the delay, we ended up cancelling the other orders. The ambiance of the restaurant was good, hopefully they improve on the wait time in the future.

So, there was an event - seems like a company Xmas party , happening there while we dine. I think that may have affected our service. Upon being seated and greeted by our waitress, the service pretty much went down hill from there. It took about 15mins to get our orders placed and then another hour before we got appetizers. We also didn't get all the appetizers we ordered. We wouldn't have gotten our drinks if I didn't approach our server and ask about them. We ended canceling our entries and remaining appetizers as the service was just too slow! And there weren't many people dining that night. However the appetizer that eventually came , tasted pretty good but the drinks were subpar.
I was so excited to try this place. The views are gorgeous and the place is very cute. Some of the food items were delicious (Kobe beef on crispy rice and the fries, the salmon crudo) but some of our items were very average (the asparagus and cauliflower) the tacos were RIDICULOUSLY over salted. We could barely eat them. The Ramen literally tasted like Fideo, not ramen, and 2 of the 3 orders we placed were COLD. Two of the people in our group had to literally ask to have their soup heated up. The cost was far too much for the missteps that were made with the food. Our check was over 1k and I would certainly except top notch food and service at that price point. The real kicker is that this restaurant also does not provide free drinking water!!!! How INSANE and frankly offensive. I thought it was legally required to provide free water at restaurants, particularly those serving alcohol. So absurd and stingy. We had the choice ONLY of purchasing bottled Fiji water bottles or sparkling water. So if you plan to dine here, bring your water-filled yeti!

The staff were exceptional (experts, friendly, helpful and professional - a great combination of the right stuff). The bar staff took great pride in crafting tasty mixed drinks. The food prepared was perfectly cooked and seasoned (well done Chef), delicious, however, several food choices on the menu were not available and were the preferred by the group. Additionally, the on-line menu was not the same as what was available in-house, so that caused confusion. Lastly, it took four trips to the wine cellar to get a bottle of wine, the first bottle was bad and the following 2 selections (although on the menu) were not available. Overall the stars are a reflection of lack of food and wine options - everything else was 5 star.

Fabulous dinner experience. The servers were so kind and helpful explaining and recommending dishes and drinks. The rooftop atmosphere is lovely and inviting. Highly recommend the sushi, absolutely amazing. The dumplings also delicious with a chef made sauce. A memorable meal and evening!

This restaurant is so bad I want to give it a zero but, that’s not possible so I give it a one. Everything on the menu is expensive and mid quality. The portions are for a child, but if by chance you need a to go box, they’ll claim they don’t have any unless you’re a white person.Besides their service and attitudes, the kitchen was incredibly slow. I got the order of the fried Mexican red rice over an hour after I placed the order. Mind you, there were plenty of empty tables and no one was coming to the restaurant (rightfully so)Please pick anything other than this restaurant to dine at and spend your money.
100% THE BEST It was amazing from the incredible services to the view & can’t forget the amazing amazing singer . The champagne is to die for . The food was the best y’all have to go asap it’s so romantic and the vibe is just perfect.
