    I keep returning to the Esquire. We sat on the outdoor seating overlooking the San Antonio Riverwalk on a perfect evening. My friend and I both ordered a cognac French 75 cocktail (one of the best in San Antonio) and the Mussels (Moules Frites). The French 75 never disappoints. This was my first time to try the mussels. I will definitely order again! Service was wonderful and attentive. We didn't have to worry about making our show at the Majestic Theatre nearby.
