Always love dining here when in San Antonio. It’s a must every trip. Parmesan crusted chicken was amazing. Crab stuffed salmon was also good, although not much crab. Lump crabmeat on top would have been better. Great service and ambience, although we prefer to sit outside usually, but it wasn’t available.

Overall experience. 2nd trip in 30 days, this time was a date with my wife. Sat in the booth where the lights didn’t work and attended said she would get a manager to check them never came back. Server said later that booth and the other open booth haven’t worked in a while. Bread was outstanding, lobster risotto was excellent but very light on the lobster, and my dish also was very good but very little meat (didn’t take the remaining since all meat was gone). the wine my wife wanted was sold out from the menu. Overall, will probably not return.
