Inside oldest hotel in San Antonio with beautiful entry and architecture. Good service, decent coffee, but very mediocre food. Small portion of hash browns were mushy when I asked for them crispy, one egg was over cooked and another under with my wife’s standard American breakfast order, my hollandaise underwhelming, and they served corn syrup ketchup, syrup and jellies in packets. Might have had better food at a franchised breakfast place.

Buffet is good. Sometimes you can order off menu. The mango ice cream is a must try. I am told the coffee is excellent, but I am not coffe drinker. The dining room is elegant, a step back in time. Service was friendly, helpful & attentive. I recommend this restaurant. I had ordered a Reuben at the munger bar, which is cooked in colonial, & delivered. It was very good. French fries just average, so get potatoe salad instead.

This place is just great. 2 must try things here has to be 1 the mango ice cream. It is just too delicious. The next thing is coffee, if you like coffee. It is nothing like we have tried before. It has more flavor to it. Food was great too. Portion size was just enough. But it tastes great. It is a must try place.

Just had Easter Brunch, a little different than years past due to Covid, but still very delicious. Only funny negative was, my dad choose pecans with his waffles and he literally received 1/2 of a whole pecan in the center. Lol. But definitely save room for the bread pudding with rum sauce

There was little to no activity at the buffet so opted for the French toast off the menu. $13 got me two slices of thin white bread. The syrup wasn’t even real maple. Such a rip off.

Amazing food and excellent staff. I got the avocado salad and tacos al carbone and every element of each dish was delicious and tied very well with the rest of the dish. I got food from the lunch menu but I read over the dinner menu and both looked great. The lunch menu prices are at $$ and dinner menu closer to $$$. However the level of service and atmosphere were those of a $$$ to $$$$ restaurent.

This was, without question, the worst restaurant experience in San Antonio. A putrid stench filled the hotel and restaurant. Service was apathetic and uncaring. The food was bland and uninspired. The appetizer came out after we finished our entrees, and the last of our drinks came out after that (the drinks and appetizer was ordered first).

We had the Thanksgiving buffet and it was SPECTACULAR!! The food was perfect, the ambience was soothing and spot on, and the service was impeccable! The manager Luciano was visible during the experience and made sure that everything was perfect❤ I would definitely recommend going there, and I plan to return for a regular dining experience because this was just top notch imo. Thank you to the entire staff for making this holiday unforgettable!
