“food was great !! the price suits the service and food quality. very good oysters. I thought it would be a bigger restaurant but the limited space made me and my wife feel more special. the lighting was dim and warm and our server was great. food came out fairly quick“

“Been eating at Aldo's for years and realized I'd never done a write-up. Once again, a wonderful experience. I usually recommend the Osso Buco. This time, our party of five on a Thursday, enjoyed Scampi Colina, Cristina Pizza, a couple Pollo dishes, and Linguine Alle Vongole. Service was excellent as usual. We have never had a bad meal/experience here. They also have a nice selection of wines and desserts which should satisfy a variety of tastes.Dietary restrictions: They do a nice job of addressing dietary issues and make good recommendations for alternate choices.“

“Awesome place the guy who helped us was super cool and helpful! The drink is strong but TASTES SO GOOD. He even let us sample the Gummie Bears and they were delicious and strong as well.Excellent place for drinks, 10/10.Stay Metal San Antonio!“

“Cool place. Great craft cocktails. Mario was a nice, knowledgeable and efficient bartender. I would have stayed longer if it weren't for the blow hard that came in and sat two stools over and began bitching that there was no DJ, and worse, spouting his inane political beliefs at me, blithely unaware of the multiple social cues I tossed his way to kindly shut the hell up. None of that reflects on the staff or the establishment, of course. Just bad luck and bad timing on my part. Looking forward to going back and not running into the same dude.“

“Everything we ate was delicious! I highly recommend the crabcake eggs Benedict and habenero pork belly. I could literally eat so many of those pork belly slices ?!! I keep thinking about how tasty my crabcake eggs Benedict was and I love the sauce they pair with it. If you've been thinking about going do it!!“

“This restaurant is nice with a great atmosphere. The food was really good. As for the service, it was excellent. We had a great waitress who was knowledgeable about the food items. My friend was excited about their fried plantains. While I'm not a big fan, she loved them. ❤️“

“The best Jalisco food I've ever had. Their margaritas are amazing, and the bean dip was so good I wanted to spoon it. They have so many flavored margaritas, and such a variety of Tequilas. I've only tried the enchiladas and the Jalisco burritos, but this is by far my favorite place in SA.“

“Scuzzi’s never disappoints. Wonderful atmosphere and delicious food! Next time you stop by, be sure to ask for Rudy to be your server because he provides excellent customer service on account of his attentive and personable nature. 10/10 highly recommend!“

“The owners/bartenders are awesome and are excellent mixologists! I have been going to JC's for about 8 months now and have met many friendly people there. So if you want to enjoy a drink or your favorite martini in a friendly atmosphere, this is the place!“

“This was my first time here and I had a great experience. The staff was very friendly, attentive and informed me they have live music Thursday through Saturday. The food was delicious and you get a lot for your money! Will definitely be back!“

“I love this place n my food it was delicious!! one of the best places To have a good, family dinner 100% recommended we had a good waiter his name is Javier very friendly and very attentive to our table ? I recommend this place super delicious dishes! !!“

“We enjoyed our meal at this place. The food was delicious at fair prices. The service was good. The birria ramen was a delightful surprise. We like ramen, and we had our doubts. No, it is not your traditional Japanese ramen. It is heavier, and they used commercial packet noodles, but it was good. The broth was heavy enough that we took some of it home, and later mixed with packed ramen at home, it worked! The street tacos were good too. We will definitely add this restaurant to our rotation.“

“We came upon this establishment in search of avoiding the long lines at the other bars/food establishments near by during our snow storm and well I have to rate it a 5 star simply because the bartender welcomed us and made us feel comfortable ! The green tea shots were the best I've had ! Regardless of the appearance and the lack of decor, it was a pleasant surprise to have enjoyed our time there :) Diverse people and good vibes!“

“Stopped here for the margarita flight which I enjoyed. All of the margaritas were packed with flavor and I ordered mine frozen. Bartender was kind. They had good music playing. This place is located in the middle of the outdoor shopping center. Nice place to take a little break from shopping and enjoy a drink or two“

“The food was really good except the queso needed a little more salsa or something in it. My wife had enchiladas and said that they were really good. Normally she doesn't like restaurant enchiladas. I had the pork guisada and it was really good too.Our server was really bad though and it looked like everyone else was getting good service.“

“Love the place, this Irish pub offers a wide selection of beers, including draft and bottled beers, as well as Irish spirits such as whiskey among others. As for food, they had everything from fish and chips to boneless and burgers, among other things. The music in the place was rock and mostly in English, so don't expect to get to a place with reggaeton.I loved the atmosphere, lots of people chatting, having a good time and lively. In general I really liked the place apart from the fact that it is in a very central area, the next time I go I will take my friends.I recommend that you order the burger!!“

“Jennifer and Sherri are the most amazing Bartenders ever... they are the reason to go enjoy your time here...order a bombpop or panty dropper and you're in heaven! This place is like Cheers, where everybody knows your name....and you feel like family! Thanks Jenn for being you!“

“this is the perfect place to take a break from the crazy shopping at La Cantera. this place is such a hidden gem, I come and order the french fries every time, and they are literally the best!! I also like to get their shrimp, scampi pizza and their lobster bisque! the staff is always super nice, and the prices are pretty reasonable!“

“This was our first visit to Bogart's. Crystal, the bartender, made our experience great. She greeted us as soon as we sat at the bar. She was very friendly and ensured that we were attended the entire time that we were there, at least until her shift ended. We had a great time. Would definitely recommend.“

“The only reason I gave the FOOD a 3⭐ is because I ordered the Strawberry salad...which was great except for the strawberries! They were previously frozen, a bit brown and tasteless! It's a strawberry salad for crying out loud!! You can get fresh strawberries at the grocery store!!! What's up with the bad strawberries?? Everything else was excellent!! But that salad was my lunch?“

“fried chicken fried chicken fried chicken done... thats all ya need to know! well maybe i'll mention the greens i stopped by about 2PM on a wednesday and was happy to note lunch runs til 3PM. one of the specials was 2 pc of fried chicken, choice of salad or gumbo side, fries, honey fried biscuit AND iced tea for... drumroll please... $12.99! for comparison: popeyes: 2 pc chicken, side, biscuit & drink + add fries $11.79 whataburger: fried chicken sammie, fries & drink $9.49 (no salad) so why get fast food when you can get hot, fresh food and more of it for about the same price! take away is available! i started on my salad while i waited for the rest, i got the blackberry vinaigrette - tasty but not too heavy or sweet. the very generous amount of lettuces were fresh & crisp and PACKED into the bowl, topped with cheese, red onions & tomatoes. the rest came out quickly, piping hot! the breading on the chicken looks dark - but its perfect! you can get spicy or regular, i got regular - white. the meat was very moist and the breading is so crisp and light! the fries are battered and stayed crisp after they cooled. the honey fried biscuit is great! a deep fried biscuit glazed in honey - crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside and not greasy. service was very attentive, but to be fair, the place was empty. but hubbie and i have been before and service has been always been good. spacious, clean, farmhouse style interior with outdoor dining avail. side notes: their tea actually tasted like well brewed tea and their greens are DELICIOUS! and other food items are available. but if you LOVE fried chicken, give theirs a try - you just might find a new favorite!“

“Absolutely love this spot!!!! It's a little getaway that has karaoke every night and needs a vibe of more refreshing people to give it the life it truly deserves. This was my first night here tonight, and between the dive bar yet old school "I'm not here but I'm here" ambiance, it's perfect for an any night out experience.“

“My server was Mattie and she was fantastic! First time ever at Kona Grill and she made great recommendations. The chicken Pad Thai was delicious! Oh and the butter cake for dessert! I cannot recommend her or this food enough! I’ll be back for sure. Thank you to all the staff seen and unseen for creating an awesome experience.“

“I always have a great time on a Sunday night because of HH- They have live music inside sometimes on Sundays nights- Their other locations include Blue Box and Hanzo but because of this location there is a non college/ 50 year old crowd during the week.“

“The drinks here are very interesting. It took me a while to read through their entire drink menu, since they add little history info on the description. I loved the drink "the wet one" it was made of gin and slightly sweet. We came here on a friday night until close. I only took one star off the service because our server did take a little long to bring our drinks, and when she finally brought them out she had forgotten to put one in. The atmosphere is very loud and dark. We had a nice time here!“

“We came here for lunch during a weekday and it wasn't too busy. The ambience was very vibrant and happy. As soon as we sat, the waitress brought us a hot and small tea cup of broth to sip while we decide what to drink and eat. The broth was really delicious. They also give you fresh and soft bread with butter. I wasn't impressed with the unsweetened spiced iced tea but the salmon tacos I ate was definitely delicious and very enjoyable.“

“This is an update and current 4/24 reviewAs always Stone Werks hits the mark. They've added a few new items to the menu which is great. One thing I really like is that the bar and restaurant are separated by a wall with a fireplace. They've done a good job with the design.Stone Werks is my go to place.KatieFood is good and the menu offers a variety of choices. They used to have prime rib egg rolls but for some crazy reason they are no longer on the menu. I miss them! Service was a little slow but we weren't in a hurry so it wasn't an issue.UPDATE: Prime Rib egg rolls are back!!!!Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking is right in front of the restaurant“

“Always coming back for the live music!! It's what (to me) makes this place so much fun to go to and different from other options in the area. It's loud inside because of it but they have tons of seating outside for your group. I also appreciate that the bathrooms are always tidy.“
