I have to assume many of these reviews are bought? Their instagram gives the appearance of a cute, trendy spot with great snacks and drinks, but something isn’t adding up. This place was absolutely awful. Really one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had.
There were two people working in the whole restaurant. The bartender who was also waiting tables, and the “cook”. The drinks were fine, but the food was a joke. It was as if someone was pranking us by what was served.
First it took forever to come out because there was no one else working. We had to ask the bartender for our food because it was just sitting on the shelf for a while. Then what came out was so far off from what their pictures online show.
We ordered the oysters and were asked if we wanted cocktail and horseradish. The oysters we were served could barely pass as oysters, but the real tragedy was that they were served with NO JOKE: some salad dressing. I’m not talking a mignonette as shown online, no. It was a cup of balsamic salad dressing.
We also got the charcuterie board that came with about half of the items listed on the menu. We did not receive olives, or nuts, or pickles. Whoever made it didn’t even read their own menu. The slices of meats were also cut strangely, which made sense when I later saw the woman in the back preparing another one and struggling greatly with a huge knife instead of using the deli meat slicer…
I don’t know if we went on an off day or what, but we were shocked at just how poor everything was. If this is their standard, I don’t know how they stay in business.

Excellent ambience, a relatively small bar with tapas. Had a tuna roll that was excellent. Also had a mixed drink called the Alter Ego, sweet and fruity, hit the spot. My wife has the cucumber martini and a Bloody Mary and loved them both.

Me and my partner chose this as our first eat in our visit to San Antonio and it was AMAZING!
We ordered the Cilantro Lime wings and the shrimp tacos and we both said how it was our favorite food in our entire trip once we got back home. Unfortunately they did not have the spicy mango handroll, but that’ll be for another trip!
Amazing environment, food, and service! Visit if you have the chance?

Worst cocktails I’ve ever had, tasted like I was drinking something that could have been lit on fire to scare away the mosquitoes.

Disappointing.
• Our eyes were burning the entire time from the food cooking and what seemed to be poor ventilation
• I understand the space is more on the small side but after water glasses and any additional beverages, the small 2 person tables leave little room for anything else including food dishes.
• Half of our order was delivered to the table and had gotten cold by the time the other half was delivered
• I asked if plain waffles were an option and was told yes, but still received strawberry flavored waffles that looked plain
• Part of the order was never delivered but no one checked on us til we were almost done so we went without
• The omelette wasn’t an omelette, it was runny, undercooked scrambled eggs on top of sautéed veggies

I have been to this place twice and love the food and drinks. I would post photos but we came with some hunger and the chef delivered each time. Come for Happy Hour and get some great deals.

Meh. Cute building and idea but nothing to write home about unfortunately.
Casual place and relaxed atmosphere and the Happy Hour offers a menu of good cocktails, small plates with freshly made food and they also have great service.

Went for lunch from work down the street. Prices are not too bad considering other places nearby. I got the Poke Bowl and was good. The staff are nice as well and easy on the eyes. Will probably go every Friday for lunch here on our.

COME AND CHECK THIS PLACE OUT! Went here with my mom and a family friend of ours while visiting in San Antonio TX! I ordered the Cubano and it did NOT disappoint!! its made with Roasted Pork Smoked Ham, Aoili, and Provalone! The sauce had a tangy spicy flavor and reminded me of the spicy zesty quesadillas from Taco Bell! My mom and friend ordered the Steak salad and again it was DELISH and a great price! Only $16 the steak was medium rare and bursting with flavor! HIGHLY RECCOMEND CHECKING THIS PLACE OUT! Everything is made in house, and the service is terrific! This place is definitely on my favorites list and we will be returning the next time we’re in town!!!

I'm rather disappointed with the $36 charcuterie board. The quality of the food wasn't even close to as pictured on the website. They forgot the olives and two of the cheeses were just missing.I would not recommend the food here
