- JJennieAustin •5 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoMy now husband and I went there on one of our first dates about five years ago and had an extraordinary experience with Chris as our waiter. We returned last night for an exquisite special dinner. We were given excellent care by Gabrielle, and Chris came over not once but a couple of times to say hi, even walking us out and thanking us for coming! Memorable experience, wonderful food and ambience! Also, very reasonably priced. We’ll be back again!!More infoBiga on the BanksPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Downtown•4.8

- LLarryDallas - Fort Worth •22 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoThis place has such a cool old vibe with there 2 story setup and their choice 2nd story seats by the windows that let you look down on the street. The room was beautiful and the noise level was more than acceptable. The food and service were excellent. We started with a crab cake and it was wonderful especially with the Dijon sauce. All crab and no bread crumbs. For our entrees, we had the filet and redfish and both were cooked perfectly and the seafood sauce on the redfish was great. The sides (asparagus, goat cheese mashed potatoes) were very good as well. We finished with bread pudding and it did not disappoint. Our waiter was on point all evening with attentiveness and recommendations.More infoBohanan's Prime Steaks and SeafoodPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Downtown•4.8

Discover Downtown
It comes as no surprise that Frito pie is a staple in the birthplace of Fritos. No one knows who first buried the chips in steaming chili, cheese and chopped onion, but the mystery chef is practically sainted around here. Tex-Mex cuisine is distinctly different from authentic Mexican, but both are found in abundance in Downtown San Antonio. You can thank indigenous peoples for the tortillas and tamales that appear alongside enchiladas, spicy rice and refried beans on your combo plate at the many Mexican restaurants in the area. Tacos and tequila have always paired well, but craft cocktail bars have elevated both. Who knew that a soft-shell taco with seared ahi tuna would be a hit in the Alamo City?
