Best Quality Daughter houses a vibrant, chic décor and new, unique Asian-American menu.

Curated by chef Jennifer Hwa Dobbertin, Best Quality Daughter's menu takes inspiration from her travels and the comfort food of her youth as a second-generation Chinese-American.

Located in the heart of downtown, The Esquire Tavern is the oldest bar on the San Antonio Riverwalk, opened the year, month and day that Prohibition was repealed. Tending bar in the early days was a highly prized and much sought after craft. Bar keeps then created many of their own syrups, mixes and concoctions and used the freshest of juices with the intention of serving the best products. We at the Esquire have taken a serious approach to the old world of bartending and spun it with a modern twist. Combining classic techniques and new world flavors and culinary concepts, our goal is to lead and set San Antonio's emerging cocktail culture on the map.

    Visited on Thanksgiving. Food came out cold. Waiter fixed right away and handles it extremely well. Food tasted really good and I would recommend trying the calamari appetizer. This place is worth it. The experience is amazing. A reservation is a must. Would go back in a heartbeat.

    The food was so excellent! Super fresh and interesting flavors. The cocktail menu was so creative and fun; it was hard to choose, but I opted for the Nightshades - a spicy Asian gin drink - Yum! We had smashed cucumbers and impossible potstickers for starters and had the Curry Dan Dan noodles and Cashew chicken for entrees. Too much to eat, so got to bring some of both home. Highly recommend. Service was fantastic- Nicky was great. She even took the time to take our picture outside with the mural. Great place; we will be back!

    Our first time dining at Bohanan’s. It truly exceeded expectations. From the moment we were greeted by name walking off the elevator to the very end of the meal, we were made to feel welcome! Food and service were impeccable. Can’t wait to go back.
