Exceptional(168)
Price: Expensive
• Farm-to-table • Downtown
Booked 8 times today
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!

    We had an amazing experience at Ruth’s Chris Steak House!! I celebrated my 25th birthday here with my boyfriend, my mom, my sister, and my niece and we all loved it! Our waiter was absolutely incredible! He was very attentive and sweet and did what he could to make my day special. I’m so grateful for him and the rest of the staff. Highly recommend! 😄

    We recently had the pleasure of dining at Valeria and I must say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a charming ambiance that made it the perfect place for a relaxing brunch for my daughter and I. The menu offered a fantastic variety of dishes, each one more tempting than the last. We opted for the Chilaquiles, caesar salad and the risotto fritters. Next time we will be trying the french toast, it sounded so delicious! It exceeded all expectations — the flavors were perfectly balanced, and the presentation was stunning. What truly made the experience stand out, however, was the service. Aubrey was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we sat down, she was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly. She took the time to explain the specials, offered great recommendations, and ensured that we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Her positive energy and attention to detail really elevated the experience, and I felt well taken care of the entire time. Overall, Valeria is a must-visit, and we’ll definitely be returning soon. Huge thanks to Aubrey for making our brunch even more enjoyable! Highly recommend!
