Dorrego's @ Hotel Valencia Riverwalk

Food was great. They were understaffed so service was not good.

Because of reviews we made reservations. We ordered steaks and asked them to be medium rare. unfortunately all of them were medium. We did not report this, since we were on a time constraint

One of the best manhattans I've ever had. The empanadas were great too. As we approached showtime our server politely asked if we would like to expedite the bill in a professional way without rushing us out the door.

Bar was very good. Great HH prices

Restaurant service slow. Waitress agrumentative very condescending
Got manager and he was extremely helpful and responsive Be careful steals tended to be over cooked

Love this restaurant will continue coming back! Order the tenderloin medallions you won’t regret it.

Fantastic food and happy hour drinks were awesome.

We love it!! We had the steak parrillada and it was really good! Also, really good cocktails ;) thank you!!

Michael was a wonderful server. He was attentive and helpful. Our meal was excellent and the atmosphere were quiet and romantic.

We had a wonderful anniversary dinner, complete with complimentary champagne! Food was excellent, and service was fantastic!

The food and environment were great. Service was a bit slow (waving down for refills and such).

Theatre night. Great dinner

Superb service by Michael; he waited my table 2 out of five dinners over the past 6 weeks. Food differs. My last two Occasions were scrumptious.

The food was so delicious and the service was great!

When I asked the maî·tre d'hô·tel about the late delivery of our food and we would miss the opening of the show (When politely asked by our server during our order whether we were going to the show and we said "yes") she replied that the kitchen was stressed by room service orders. Note the period.
Wrong reply! She should have said: "I will check on your order" and left to do so, and returning with a status report.
We ran out of time for desert and arrived just as the show was beginning.

We had an absolutely wonderful evening at Dorrego's after a concert at the Tobin. I have read the reviews that said that the service was horrible, but that was certainly NOT true for us. Our server was Carlie, and she was knowledgeable and totally professional. She let us know when to expect our food and checked with us regularly during the meal without hovering or being annoying. And, the food was absolutely delicious -- with a steak that was cooked to perfection. It was, all and all, an outstanding dining experience.

San Antonio's only Argentinian restaurant and in my favorite hotel in the city! Food terrific, ambiance amazing and service first class. This is a first find for all your dinner needs -- on the river and downtown and for all San Antonioans. Make a point to visit. You will love it.

The wait staff is very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. The food was beautifully presented and delicious! I think it’s a must go to spot... perfect distance to the theatre.

The food was good, but the service was horrific. So bad, in fact, that I can never return. We sat with empty water glasses, no bread, no appetizer, for 40 minutes. The waiter "couldn't find" the bottle of wine we ordered. Twice.

The food came out so slowly that we had to gulp it down in order to make it to our show at the Majestic. I suggest you skip it. It's not worth it, there's much better places to go. Huge disappoint.

The Hotel Valencia is expensive and nice. Its restaurant was rated 4 and a half stars and is also expensive. But for some reason on the Saturday we stayed at the hotel and ate in Dorrego, there were only 2 people waiting tables as well as having to show guests to their table. Service was slow, but our food was served warm. My steak was partially over cooked. Our server was nice and accommodating and worked very hard. There was just too much for 2 people to do. I chalk it up to management error.

Fresh and flavorful. Loved everything. Great service, balcony overlooking the Riverwalk, fresh warm bread as the starter followed by empanadas, crab salad, and a queso flameada . Had gnocchi as the entree and finished with dulce de leche cheesecake. Plan to return to sample the beef and other meat entrees when the opportunity permits. On my new favorite list.

Service was very poor. They seemed overwhelmed. We waited 25 minutes to get drinks. They finally got the food out when we stressed that we had a theater timeline. Food was unremarkable.

Food was great. Our salads came out at same time as entee making it a bit awkward. Other than that, great night.

Service was extremely slow from the kitchen. Waitress was a sweetheart. Food was ok. It could have been better and higher quality for what we paid. The margaritas were great. If I were to return, I would just eat appetizers and have a cocktail at the bar. We also had a graduate at the table and told them ahead of time. When they brought out the cake, it said happy birthday. NOT OK.

We were only ones in restaurant with party of 4. Took forever to get food. Server nice, but seemed a bit distracted... Like not bringing menus, or napkins, or even offering water. Food was very good, but very little of it on the plates. Not worth the money paid for the food despite the excellent flavor.

Our table was not set up when we arrived. The server was kinda rude. I’m on a diet and only ate half of my side and when I told him he could take the plate he questioned me sayin I still had food left. Also a couple of people with my group modified their entrees and they came out how they were presented on the menu

The bench seating was awkward to straddle upon entry, especially on a much anticipated date. I’ve been waiting for YEARS, to go out with this man and I was so nervous. Unfortunately I flashed him the family jewels while exiting the booth. But no worries, he liked it. Got the meats if you know what I mean.

Great food and good service. Give yourself an hour and a half of dining if you have a show to go to. The Salmon was great.

The service was outstanding. However the food was sub-par. They need to up their food game to overcome the stigma of being a hotel restaurant and if they want to compete with the numerous excellent area restaurants.

Food was great - particularly appetizers. Service was very good.

Loud conversations at bar detracted from dining experience.

Staying in the hotel, are breakfast here. Service was extremely slow in terms of initial contact with wait staff, delivery of food, and final visit with staff to get the check. Food quality was good. We sat inside and a poor couple seated outside had pigeons on their table nonstop during their meal. After they left the pigeons attacked their table and devoured everything they could get a hold of.

The service was amazing! The menu had some great selections and the gnochhi was PHENOMENAL! I would recommend this to everyone! Be sure to try some of their dessert options as well!

Food and service was great. The portions are huge. One entree can feed two easily. Staffs are super attentive.

Had lunch on Saturday during Restaurant Week. The meal was wonderful. Interesting sample of Argentinian flavors, great wine selection and fantastic service! We sat inside with a lovely view of the outdoor patio and Riverwalk. We very much look forward to returning many more times.

Had a wonderful meal before going to a show. The staff was amazing and very service oriented. Definitely going back...

We went prior to a concert at the Majestic Theater. The staff was very attentive, the cocktails were exceptional and the meal very good. The ambiance is wonderful, I highly recommend it for making dinner a memorable occasion. We look forward to visiting again soon.

The food was spectacular! The only reason I could not give it 5 Stars was the service was VERY slow. The waiter forgot to put our appitizer order in so we understood why that one took a while. It was our main course that had us wondering what was going on. The waiter came to our table and said “as you can see we are very busy tonight so I apologize that your food is taking so long” but there were only 4 tables that had people at them.. yes you heard correctly I said 4. All but one was a two top so I am not sure why it would take so long to receive our meal. We were there a total of 1.5hrs with only about 30 min at most actually eating. I would still highly recommend this place because the food was seriously delicious! Just be prepared to wait.

I was disappointed the food was over cooked, hence the meat was dry. We ordered the Texan Grill for 2 and based on the quality of the meat served as a diner you get better quality at Texas de brazil or Fogo De Chao.
This was disappointing as this restaurant was to be our highlight of our stay

First time at Dorrego's for restaurant week. Everything waa delicious! The empamadas were nice amd crispy ans full of flavor. Quail was nice and juicy. The lava cake was scrumptious with that taste of Bourbon on the drizzled chocolate.

Some day I’ll learn that most hotel restaurants aren’t that good. We use the restaurant week promotion to try new places. Argentine sounded super interesting. Nice idea poorly executed. The odd bank of booths down the middle aren’t comfortable and made serving the table awkward. Our waiter, Miguel, was funny and attentive.

The food was simply average and I would say their ceviche was bad. We liked the smoked quail as it was tender and still moist. One of the desserts ( banana empanada) was pretty good the other (chocolate lava) tasted like it was heated up from frozen. We like Acenar downstairs but it has never felt like a hotel restaurant.

Just an average hotel restaurant.

The food was great and we had a good experience, but the total wait time for the food took a bit long. The restaurant was fairly empty, but lunch took almost two hours.
