   As soon as we walked in, my husband was asked to remove his hat. Without hesitation, he removed it. As we walked to our table, my husband pointed out there was another gentleman sitting with the same type of hat on. The host proceeded to mention that she would address it, but was not. Further, we proceeded to order our food. Our service was the worst. We ordered water, appetizer, and food. Our waiter never returned for refills or checked in with us. Once we were done eating, we waited for a dessert menu but were handed the bill to pay. We didn’t even ask for a menu at this point because we took the hint and proceeded to pay and leave. Lastly, the manager was walking around checking in all the tables around us. Coincidentally, we were never checked on. This was our second time dining at Tardif’s and certainly was the last. We do not recommend.

   This was my second time eating here. The first was simple outstanding and I raved about it to everyone I knew. This time however it was only average. I ordered the Beef Wellington, which was good, however not nearly as great as I remembered that first time. The ratatouille was lukewarm as if it had been sitting out. Waitstaff was awesome!

   Our third visit, experience keeps getting better! Celebrating step mother’s birthday. Had excellent table. Service very attentive but not at all intrusive. A party of five, we order multiple dishes for each course and share, everything was excellent. Great dining experience start to finish!

   Tardif’s is a hidden gem with an intimate and upscale atmosphere serving tantalizing dishes. The wine selection is also impressive along with impeccable service. Dining here is such a special experience with dishes that present flavors like none other in San Antonio!

   Was a bit of disappointment, restaurant was very attentive to the special occasion the reservation that was identified in the reservation. I don’t think the chef cooked the food, probably a cook or asst chef. The Beef Wellington was different from advertised and was a bit under par of what was expected. The steak was tender and cooked properly. The lobster tail (small), potatoes was seasoned and delicious. Had the dessert it was delicious. The server mentioned they will be changing up their menu. New restarting changing g up the menu makes one wonder if they aren’t doing very well.

    Not as good as last month. A lot of things changed. They removed cocktail menu. The food portion is half as before. Especially the pear tart, only half size this time, and the flavor totally changed. Really disappointed to the pear tart. Used to be the best part and the reason we keep coming back. Seems like they changed the chief.

    I really wanted to like this place and maybe that is why the experience is even more disappointing. Between waiting about 10 minutes to get greeted with 7 pm reservations, almost 40 minutes to find the “missing” bottle of wine, and my fish going “rouge” after being served the wrong meal, I just couldn’t believe it anymore. We had to already remind the server of the bar drinks ordered a few times. We were there 2 hours and only had wine an appetizer, one soup and one salad due to the gaps of time between being able to place our order and actually receiving it. Others tables seemed to get better service though. It seemed like we were a forgotten afterthought and it just ruined the experience. There are so many other options that coming back to this place isn’t even worth it. If this is the norm, Texas Roadhouse next door must be getting all of these customers. The food was as good as expected. We had the bone marrow (slightly cold but good flavor), the Tardif’s salad and the lobster bisque since they were out of shrimp. There was no lobster in the soup but at this point in the evening it wasn’t a surprise. However, the service is just what I can’t get over.

    I ordered the Steak Tartar and noticed no egg yolk (classic) I was told it was mixed in. Egg yolk is very distinct in flavor and velvety texture. Pretty sure it was forgotten, Still tasty. The Short ribs are outstanding, risotto cooked perfectly.

    Best French onion soup ever! Short rib and herb risotto was outstanding. Duck dish was inedible. I am not sure what went wrong there. They comped it and took it away. Best strawberry cake that I have had. Escargot and shrimp cocktail were special!!

    We four diners all agree our meal was exceptional from start to finish. Completing the experience was our server, Grace. She exuded knowledge and confidence and graciously accepted any critique we may have had, which there was only one and that was that the Lobster Bisque was a tad "fishy" tasting. The soup of the day, a creamy poblano soup was EXCELLENT and should be a regularly featured soup, imho!

    Exceptional French food. One of the best in San Antonio. Worth the drive. Our waitress, Grace, was extraordinary. Not only did she offer expert advice on French cuisine and wine selection; but she also explained chef Jean Tardif’s approach to French cuisine.

    We had such a lovely night and our server Grace was so amazing. She knew the menu well and gave great recommendations. She made us feel like we were the only one in the restaurant even though she was providing service to multiple tables. We will definitely return in the near future as the service and food was wonderful.

    Second "special occasion" dinner for us. First time was much better. Parking was a hassle. Despite reservations made far in advance, we were offered a table at the bathroom area. When we asked for better, we got a table looking into the kitchen. Really? Food was mostly excellent, though porkchops were way undercooked. So compared to our first time, this Valentine's dinner was a disappointment. We would have expected more of a first class dining experience to match the first class prices (entrees between $40 and $50; well drinks $22 each??)

    Had our Valentines dinner. We love this restaurant and we love supporting local businesses and excellent chefs. Conveniently located off I 10, This is an excellent restaurant with a great ambience and almost unmatched food experience. We went early for dinner expecting a large Valentines crowd. We had excellent service! The cocktails are amazing, the wine list comprehensive and well priced. The food is very well prepared, portioned with wonderful flavors. This is a must go to restaurant!

    While they were busy, the bartender was more interested in speaking w/ a girl. It took 15 minutes to get his attention, and when he did make my drink, he used his hands to put ice in my drink [no glove]. Once seated it took another 10 minutes for waiter to approach, he did do a great job once the restaurant settled down. Food was just ok, and somewhat underwhelming...... I think like many restaurants, labor is an issue. Everyone polite, but not enough. Kitchen was backed up too.....as it took over 40 minutes for entrees to arrive. It was Saturday night, and busy, but it is supposed to be busy on a Saturday night....

    As always the food and service are spectacular. Our server was extremely attentive and even noticed when my husband's old-fashioned was not made as ordered. He quickly rectified the situation and brought him a new one. The only downside of the entire evening was being sat next to a loud boisterous table that was just too close. It felt like we were in their conversation most of evening. All-in-all... It was the experience we have come to know and expect from Tradif’s!
