Restaurants near South Side Lions Park East

We had such a great experience the first night of our stay that we cancelled the dinner reservations we scheduled earlier. We travel and eat out often and we love the ambience, the music, the cocktails and the food is over the top. The eggs Benedict for breakfast was excellent. Most of the menu items are handcrafted! We had 4 different servers at 4 different meals and they were all great! They were friendly and very knowledgeable not to mention highly professional. FABULOUS !

From start to finish our New Years Day dinner was great! Matt, our waiter, was phenomenal. We enjoyed a nice bottle of wine with our appetizer and were not rushed to order our main course…as we sipped and nibbled we listened to live music which streamed to the upstairs patio. The filet was cooked to perfection and my chicken was tender and so tasty. Matt suggested their chocolate mousse for dessert and wowsers was it delicious!

Wonderful experience. I took my parents, 86 and 88 years of age. The staff was helpful and the food was excellent. They gave us a wonderful view and patiently help my father in a wheelchair. The smoked applewood bourbon drink was no only delicious but a beautiful presentation at our table.

We ate at Fogo de Chão on New Year’s Day to start our 2025 and it was very good. The restaurant was busier than I expected but the three of us had a reservation so not to worry. The staff brought my 101 year old mother the salt-free lamb chops that she always requests which were a bit overcooked but still tender and delicious. My friend and I enjoyed the other various cuts of beef, and we all enjoyed the salad bar and the sides… especially the little cheese breads. We’ve tried the cheese breads at other Brazilian restaurants but the best ones are at Fogo. The only negative was the very last cut of meat for me which was a chunk of picaña instead of a slice. It was very fibrous and hard to cut but I suppose that was because it was a remaining portion of the meat instead of a sliced piece. Other than that, we had a very good experience once again and we will be back! P.S. I forgot to take any pictures this time because I was enjoying the food a little too much.

Sunset meal and drinks overlooking the Hemisfair Park and Tower of the Americas. We had the 10x Prix Fixe meal and it was amazing. 10/10
