   Fantastic experience. Our waiter Chris was exceptional. We wanted to recruit him to work for us. Lol! Very knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. The food was phenomenal. We will definitely be coming back next time we are in San Antonio.

   We had fixed menu of 3 courses with wine pairings. Salad, entree & dessert. Close to Belabouise and Rack of lamb were very delicious. Portion size is right. The service was prompt and food was excellent. For a Monday evening the restaurant was full at 7 pm. Recommend to book the table.

   I have been to Biga on several occasions and this time did not disappoint. Took two new clients and they were very impressed. If anything, could expand the wine list to more familiar wines and have server be a little more knowledgeable able the wine offerings they have available. Truly was an exceptional experience. Highly recommend. Also note: No valet -

   Quality of food was great. But nothing special or exciting to try. Felt like I was about an 80 year old with the pairings of the dishes. Mashed potatoes and carrots. Feta through me off being with the lamb. That being said the quality and flavor of the lamb was great. Opt for the four piece lamb not two or you will leave hungry. Grateful I paired the quail with the lamb (saw it as an option for the veggie medley asked if it was an option to add it to the lamb) quail was also delicious.

    Underwhelming meal for a lot of money. Server forgot part of our order, never checked in on us throughout the meal, never offered us other drinks. Just feel like we spent a lot of money for mediocre food and bad service. Won’t be coming back.

    Birthday dinner with friends and kids. Gabriel was our waiter and he was outstanding and the food was great. Our 2 children wrote him a personal letter thanking Gabriel for his excellent service and attention in making the birthday experience for their mother the best possible. We like to try different nice restaurants however our next time in San Antonio we will only come here and we will request Gabriel.

    Met all of the high expectations. Delicious meal. Well prepared with highly professional and competent design and execution. Great mocktails. Antelope was tender, not gamey and perfectly prepared. As werethe lamb and beef. Onion soup and Niçoise salad delicious. Veggie entree was tasty. Dessert puffs with pistachio cream were exceptional. So was the chocolate pot au feu. Server Nick was kind, friendly attentive and efficient. 5 star meal.

    My husband and I have dined at many fine restaurants. This was definitely in our top 3! The escargot was amazing , you must get the bread service with it for dipping! I had the red snapper and my husband had the antelope and quail. Sticky toffee pudding for dessert. It is located on the Riverwalk so you have a great view. We had a really good bottle of wine to pair it all together.

    Bigas is a nice place along the river. Menu changes often and has many unique options if you are adventurous. Make reservations because they are usually pretty busy. The sticky toffee pudding is a must.

    We had an amazing time at Biga on the Banks!! Everything that our large group had from crafted cocktails to dessert was excellent! I can certainly see why it is a James Beard Award Winner!! Some of our favorites though were definitely the Cheese plate, the Mahi Mahi, The Beef Denver and the Lamb chops!! We will definitely return!!

    Blending San Antonio style with French cuisine mellowed them together to create an elegant, interesting and very successful menu. I especially like that you can order half portions to allow for more tasting options. A prix fix three course dinner is also an option. The Bouillabaisse was outstanding and the server chose an excellent pairing of wine from their extensive list. Dessert was to hard to decide from the many choices. My poached pear atop an almond tart with almond toffee finished with plenty of chocolate and a dollop of French ice cream will send me back for more.

    Food was good, but the atmosphere just brings the experience down. Somewhat dated interior and waiter seemed a bit indifferent. Would have loved to try it in the early 2000’s when it appeared to be at its peak.

    We arrived early for our reservation and were warmly welcomed. As soon as we were seated, Gabriel our server, offered continuous professional, friendly, knowledgeable service throughout the evening. He clearly enjoyed his work and made the evening even more enjoyable for us. I would highly recommend Biga for any special event—the food, service, ambience all were excellent.

    Excellent dining experience. Even though the menu was somewhat limited, there was enough choices with appetizers, soup and salads, entrees, and desserts to entice one’s palate. Remember that most upscale restaurants have somewhat limited menus in relation to today’s economic environment. The Bibb Radicchio Game Packet appetizer was a fabulous introduction to the meal. It was spicy enough to tantalize the senses. However, was not overwhelming, which allows the eater to enjoy the meal. The Texas 1015 Onion Soup was a complimentary start to the meal by providing a flavorful but subdued onion flavor that allows the eater to enjoy the rest of the meal. The Mustard Crusted Australian Lamb Rack, was cooked to medium rare had great mix of flavor. The mustard is a wonderful compliment to the lamb that was an exquisite entree. The waitstaff were present and available with a pro customer service attitude. This is something that is becoming more rare in society. My water glass never ran dry.

    Perfect combination of elegant fine dining and a casual atmosphere. Staff was very attentive and fun. Cocktails were all well made and tasty, and the wine by the glass selection was great. All of our meals were wonderful, and the chocolate desserts were not too sweet and disappeared quickly. Couldn’t have asked for a better special night out experience.
