MJune 25, 2015Restaurant that leads to the riverwalk from the Embassey Suites hotel. If your staying at the hotel you can take drinks up to your room. It's a bit expensive after their happy hour from 3-6 everyday.UpvoteDownvote
Hands down the most incredible dessert I've ever had, the strawberry jam on the short cake was phenomenal. Also got the express lunch chicken and dumplings also amazing!

As sparkling as the service can be -- and great the happy hour oysters -- don't eat at the bar for lunch. Odds are you'll be dissed. And their beer prices are stupidly pricey. But food is mostly goodUpvoteDownvote
Mychelle BurnsAugust 23, 2011Just walk in, sit at the bar, order a drink and observe the various presentations. Refrain from ordering the food. It's far from good which is sad considering the founder.UpvoteDownvote
Chris AhrensFebruary 10, 2011Happy hour from 3-6... 50 cent oysters and meat pies, half price beer, wine, and house liqour... Gotta try the bread pudding!!!Upvote3Downvote- Never order just one dessert and always get the ice cream

Bernard VerhoevenMarch 15, 2014The staff was friendly, but very slow and chaotic, we waited at least 20min before we even had the drink on our table. Oysters were ok, but badly opened so there was sand & pieces of shell everywhereUpvoteDownvote

Chris ClaunchFebruary 15, 2015Not impressed. Overpriced and average. Fresh fish was cooked well but blandly seasoned. Margarita in a small water glass was the worst I've tasted in San Antonio. I've been happier at Applebee's.UpvoteDownvote
