My husband and I found this gem and all I can say is wow! Our server Robert was amazing and so kind. Our food was absolutely delicious! And the green goddess ranch is to die for! If you order their BLT put that on instead of the mayo you won’t be disappointed. Next time we are San Antonio we will for sure come back!

Another gem at the Pearl. This is a beautiful, southern feel, with an antique decor inside and out. Looks and feel like a modern saloon. A big main dining hall, a long bar, and an upstairs for private events. Definitely a great upscale diner for meeting with your team or meeting your clients. Not super busy on a weekly lunch time so it is not noisy like other busy restaurants. You can have a decent conversation here. Also, a great place for a bottle of wine with friends.

Went here for our dinner after getting married. Just the 2 of us. Everything was amazing. Best steak we have had. Asked them to cook it Pittsburgh style and it was perfect. Green beans were phenomenal. Bread pudding was so good as well. I'm so glad we chose this restaurant... they definitely made our night very special. Our server Chris was also amazing. Thank you thank you thank you for such a special dinner!! We will be back every anniversary!!! 🫶🫶🫶

Went in on a busy Friday evening, and had such a great time. The only opening they had was at the bar (which was understandable since it was Valentine’s Day) but the waiter who waited us was so helpful and friendly. He recommended the wild boar lasagna, and judgement day cocktail. Both were so good! The meal altogether was pricey, but nonetheless worth it. The cooks can be seen cooking your dish up, and sheesh prepare your tastebuds, cause damn! 🤌🏽 cannot wait to go again and try more dishes!

The food was good for everything we got! The atmosphere overall was nice, we were placed passed the bar in a small dining area, we didn’t plan on eating but were hungry so decided to try out a different place than some of our usual places in the pearl. I will say though it would’ve been nicer if our server wasn’t staring us down the whole time from the corner. it was clear she was almost rushing us out, she came not once but 3 times to get the check within a 5 min time frame. Will consider maybe trying again, just because the quail poppers were so good
Pat DeShane
What a delightful find. The place was rustic cozy and very clean. Menko, our waiter, was very attentive to our needs. The suggestions made were quite delicious. We felt well taken care of there and will return again to explore the menu more. Cheers!

Absolutely wonderful evening out with the wife! Our host Darren was a never ending book of knowledge on wines and the menu. He spoke to us about the new Texas Wild Game options. I got the Espresso Rubbed Elk Chop and my wife got the Wild Boar Lasagna and they were both phenomenal. Darren also suggested us a special bottle of wine that was out of this world. It paired so well with our wild game dishes. Vince, our second host, was an absolute pleasure to talk with and brought us our desert. We got the White Chocolate Bread Pudding and it was amazing! Vince suggested us some coffee to pair with the dessert and it went very well!

Dinner on a Saturday. Had reservations so we were sat immediately. Ordered from the special restaurant week menu. I had Bistro Steak Frites and it was absolutely delicious! In fact everything we had was wonderful. Service was awesome as well!! Only negatives were that it was hot in the restaurant, at least at the high tops where we sat. Other than that, we had a wonderful time. I highly recommend!
