"We ate outside on the Riverwalk. That part of the dining experience was worthwhile. The tapas selection was unimaginative in selection and preparation. We had a selection of tapas and the Paella Valencia, which arrived at the table hot but overcooked. The service was good."

"We have attended Easter brunch at Las Ramblas for the last 4 years. The first year we thought we'd found a hidden gem because the food was good, ambiance great and service very attentive. As this restaurant has become more popular for Easter brunch the food and service have gone drastically downhill. We will not attend next year."

"I read the reviews of the restaurant evryone was correct, the staff Josh, and Michael took care of us all the time, very attentive to all of our needs. We received samples from the Chef at no cost. The tapas were excellent and well as the meal. This is the place to go if you are in the river walk in San Antonio."

"My wife and I visited Las Ramblas for Valentine's day - she had their signature Paella Valencia, while I chose to go with the chef's prix fixe Valentine's menu consisting of a White Truffle Corn Bisque, a warm Chèvre tart, a filet mignon with diver scallop and a chocolate bombe. Everything was outstanding!

The corn bisque exploded with flavor and had small flecks of popcorn floating in it - probably the best corn bisque I've ever tasted. The cheese plate was perfectly balanced and had several very tasty balsamic reductions and a nice micro green salad. My fillet and scallop were both perfectly cooked and served with a very savory potato whipped with cheese and garlic. The desert was small but packed a big punch. Outstanding!"

"My meal was truly awesome! I had the crispy pork belly and it was superb though too small a serving. My husband had the paella which was horrible!! It was overcooked and tasted gross. I have had good seafood paella many places and this was not it. It was fishy, the rice was pasty, the fish overcooked and it was topped with fried calamari(?) that instantly went soggy. The appetizers were amazing, we had the pickled white anchovies and the roasted potatoes - wonderful. Don't order the paella!!"

"This is a beautiful hotel, the tapas are awesome, we had a pretty good selection and they were all very tastu. Our Server was very attentive. Beautiful and convenient location by the San Antonio Riverwalk
The one drawback is that the rice in the paella is bland, no salt, paella burned in the middle"
