Our verdant succulent gardens welcome you as you enter the restaurant, with the iconic Tower of the America's in the distance. The cozy dining room and twenty six foot bar are framed by a floating botanical spice illuminated with soft lights. The Danish wishbone chairs, steel accents and warm wood tones are juxtaposed against minimalist art, custom concrete tiles, natural pigments, and uniquely sourced ceramics from Latin America and Asia. Led by acclaimed chef, Elizabeth Johnson, who helped the City of San Antonio receive a UNESCO City of Gastronomy designation. Pharm Table is an mecca for healthful farm to table cuisine. Removing inflammatory ingredients like wheat, dairy, refined sugar and processed foods, the restaurant focuses instead on fresh farm produce and meats carefully sourced from regenerative farmers. The "party favor" is how you feel once you enjoyed the restaurant's apothecary approach to food and beverage. Provecho!

Best Quality Daughter houses a vibrant, chic décor and new, unique Asian-American menu. In 2018, chef Jennifer Hwa Dobbertin, wanting to address the sparsity of Asian-American female chefs in South Texas, developed a new concept through a series of pop-up dinners called Best Quality Daughter with fellow chef Anne Ng and artist Jennifer Ling Datchuk. Today Best Quality Daughter is located in the historic Mueller House at the Pearl Brewery. 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.

    Pharm Table is our favorite place to dine when visiting San Antonio. It is rare to find a restaurant that cares so deeply about the sourcing of their food and drinks, and the presentation and taste of everything we’ve tried there has been outstanding. The service is fantastic as well. Finally, we appreciated meeting the owner who checked in with us several times to make sure all was well. Highly recommend!

    I love this place. I lived in China for 10 years and the food here always takes me back. I love the chef's unique spin on some of my favorite authentic dishes. The music tends to be a bit louder than I would prefer but the lighting and designs are beautiful. And the prices won't break the bank! I definitely recommend this place to SA natives and visitors alike.

    I cannot recommend this restaurant enough! First of all, the vibes are incredible. The restaurant is smaller and feels more intimate. The service is wonderful (shoutout to you, Grace). Everything we ordered was incredible, so I don’t think you could ever go wrong. For how nice of a place this was and how good the food is, the price was very reasonable. This is our new favorite place to eat! This is some of the BEST food I’ve had in SA.

    Our Valentines dinner was perfect in every regard! Francisco our server was attentive, the food was delicious and the ambiance ( fireside) was exquisite. They even provided the ladies with a rose. After dinner a rousing Mexican band was playing. Couldn’t have put together a better evening!

    Went for my birthday and it was a spectacular experience. The food was incredibly unique and innovative. The cocktails were superb. The staff was very attentive and helpful in navigating the menu. I would absolutely highly recommend and definitely will be back when in San Antonio in the future. Would recommend the escabeche!
