What's the swankiest restaurant in San Antonio, Texas?

Question

Looking for the most high-brow restaurant in San Antonio. Help!

Answer 1

I noticed someone said the Tower of the America's restaurant.  Don't go there!!  I was there, Landry's Chart House, last week.  It was the worst service I ever had anywhere.  We had reservations, but it took 2.5 hours to get served and it wasn't even crowded.

Michelino's on the Riverwalk is awesome, fantastic food and service and the price is very reasonable.

Answer 2

La Reve is expensive for French food. Ruth's Chris or Bohanans for steaks. Biga on the Banks, and Grey Moss Inn for American cuisine.

Answer 3

Dirty  Nelly's

Answer 4

I live here and I think that the Tower of Americas restaurant is nice...even though I've never eaten there. But the best thing to do is to go Downtown. I've been to the Hard Rock Cafe and i like it. But i really think that the Rain Forest Cafe looks nice.

Answer 5

Dirty Nelly's

Answer 6

As far as "swanky" goes, I think that Bohanan's would be my first choice.  There are some pretty nice places popping up on the nortside, Roaring Fork, Wildfish, Ounce, Silo, etc.  All very good.

Answer 7

Grey Moss Inn is my vote...

Tower of the Americas has the best view, but the worst service.  Didn't much care for the food either!

The Vineyards is also nice (but not technically in San Antonio)

Answer 8

The Fig Tree is extremely nice. The waitstaff is very professional and the food is excellent.  Go if you can afford it.

Answer 9

After some thought I think Tower of the Americas restaurant has the most unique fine dining experience in town.  There may be a more swanky restaurant but with Tower of the Americas you get the whole experience...revolving restaurant and enjoy the scenery from the observation deck.  The food is very up scale.

Check out the links and see what you think.  At the Chart House link make sure you choose the San Antonio location.
