Really good stuff here San Antonio! Hubby and I went to Four Brothers on a recommendation from St Anthony cool bartender - happy we went! Altho we could not finish our dinners because the cornbread wow and sprouts wow wow filled us up a little much - we had to pack the leftovers sadly our room did not have a fridge ;(.. service was great ambience delightful. Definitely on our list to spread the word and return!
The sea bass was divine with all the wonderful braised vegetables. The wagyu tartare also really fine beef. But I screwed up because I didn't request NO added salt. I had read a review which warned about too much salt. Shame on me. My husband ordered his rib eye medium well, I think we should all know medium well could be too well done for a ribeye. It wasn't the only restaurant in San Antonio that served heavily salted food. As for Four Brothers it's a very nice restaurant and I would do it again with a note to self.

If was an evening reservation. Though many tables open not many servers. Finally got seated and waited a long time for server. Once appetizer arrived, found it delicious. Cocktails fair

This has been my favorite restaurant in San Antonio since it opened. However, our experience on Easter was less than favorable. It began with a call from the restaurant the day before Easter to tell me there were some technical issues. The hostess (or whomever called) said they would only accept cash. Did I want to cancel? The day or before Easter when I had out of town company??? I said okay. The family scraped together enough cash. Then when we arrived at the restaurant, the only menu was a brunch menu. I had spoken with the restaurant specifically about this issue, once I called to inquire and the other when someone called to confirm. I specifically wanted to be sure the entire menu would be available. I was told on both occasions, YES, it would be. But the most disappointing part of this review is when I arrived at the restaurant and asked to speak with the manager, she told me I must have misunderstood. I did not misunderstand! I know what I was told. Then she said “Well, maybe I had a bad phone connection. WHAT??? I was very insulted by her comments. With that said, the meal was good and the service was very good, a little slow even though there were not many people dining there. I will go back, but I hope this manager reads this review and knows that her employees told me incorrectly and I did not appreciate her attitude of it must have been my confusion.

We came in for a drink and some cake after having brunch elsewhere to celebrate a birthday. They let us order from the dessert menu even though they were still serving brunch. We had excellent service. We sat by the window which overlooked the river walk. It had a very relaxing vibe. We would definitely go back!

Great cocktails followed by tasty appetizers. Entrees were cooked to perfection. Our server was funny , attentive, and quick. Celebrated a friend's birthday , glad we chose this spot.
The manager came to our table just to ask how're things expecting us to say its good so he could scurry away to the preferred to the table next to us cuz they ordered tomahawk steak for $170. We didnt stop him. He had a fully blown conversation with my friends next table just cus they ordered the most expensive dish on the menu. I paid $32 for a half plate of cesar salad (romaine lettuce, dressing and 4 anchovies) and another $18 to add medium cooked steak to it. My coworker ordered fillet cooked medium rare for $64 and a glass of wine and bread (which turned out to be JUST TOAST) she paid $98 for just mediocre meal. Of course our meats were cooked wrong. So it was an overpriced meal for below ok quality! The waiter was nice and attentive!
We had the chili and I thought in Texas you would get a great chili. It was flavorless. Kind of like ground beef in an enchilada sauce. No beans. Topped with a tiny bit of cheese and radish slices???? We only ate a few bites. It was $15 a bowl. The deserts were fine. crème brûlée and churros. Overall, I would not recommend it.

My friend and I went to the restaurant to experience their St. Paddy's Special that was advertised on their website. When we got to the restaurant the special was not on the menu nor was the server aware it. The manager came over and confirmed that they had corned beef and cabbage which was the best that we had ever had. Aside from this lack of communication, the service was excellent and since they knocked it out of the park with this dish, we plan to return and try their other menu items.

Very few people eating there and they sat us at this wobbly table behind a tree. Designed to be a ‘shareable' $90 entree was very small and meat was very fatty. Would not go back.
Excelente atención y amabilidad del personal, la terraza junto al río súper agradable con la suerte que nos tocó un clima ideal para estar ahí afuera, y sobre todo los alimentos buenísimos.

The BBQ-Glazed Brussels Sprouts with Texas honey and shallots present a delightful twist on a classic vegetable dish. The combination of the rich, smoky BBQ glaze and the sweetness of the Texas honey creates a harmonious balance of flavors, complemented by the subtle savory notes from the shallots. The Brussels sprouts themselves are perfectly cooked to a tender yet slightly crisp texture, allowing them to soak up the flavors of the glaze while still retaining their natural freshness. The Steak Tartare featuring American Wagyu beef, capers, shallots, Dijon mustard, a quail egg, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and grilled sourdough is a true culinary delight. This Steak Tartare is a sophisticated and indulgent choice that showcases the exquisite ingredients in a beautifully crafted presentation, making it a must-try for any discerning palate. The Branzino with a basil crust, accompanied by trumpet mushrooms, toasted pecan risotto, sofrito, and Texas grapefruit beurre blanc, presents a symphony of flavors and textures that tantalize the taste buds. This Branzino dish exemplifies expert craftsmanship and a thoughtful combination of ingredients, making it a standout choice for seafood enthusiasts. The Chicken Adovada, featuring a succulent roasted half chicken with a robust red chile sauce, confit marble potatoes, charred leeks, and crema blanca, is a tantalizing dish that embodies both tradition and innovation. Together, these components create a harmonious ensemble of flavors and textures, making the Chicken Adovada a standout dish that celebrates the vibrant culinary heritage of its origins while offering a contemporary twist. The Sea Bass served with coconut curry broth, baby bok choy, basil, and trumpet mushrooms is a masterpiece of flavors and textures. The sea bass, tender and flaky, perfectly absorbs the aromatic coconut curry broth, infusing it with a delightful blend of spices and richness. This Sea Bass dish is a true culinary delight, showcasing the chef's skil

Excellent dinner at Four Brothers! We had a dinner party of 9 and everyone loved it. Our service was perfect from Brahim. He was on top of everything. Couldn't say enough good things about the food or our evening.

Our server Magda was exceptional! She was thoughtful and thorough. The kitchen made my lunch extra special since I am a vegetarian. My sons loved the chili and Texas-shaped cornbread. Never a bad meal here!
The service was outstanding. Our waiter was wonderful. Just wish their food was as wonderful as their service. We shared the pork ribs, it wasn't as big as we thought it would be for the price. Their cornbread was delicious though.
