The food at Gonzales Bistro is always absolutely phenomenal! Each dish is a work of art. The Ahi tuna is some of the best I've ever had. The filet mignon is cooked to perfection with just the right amount of seasoning so that you can really taste the flavor of the steak. It’s clear the chefs put a lot of care into their craft. The cocktail menu has a variety of expertly crafted drinks to choose from. The Mexican Martini and Espresso Martinis are personal favorites.

I appreciate that Bazille maintains a positive vibe. The food is varied and always fresh and tasty. The large windows offer a nice view. Our server, Jason, provided excellent service, which is most important.

We had a wonderful birthday dinner. Excellent wine menu. Although everything on the dinner menu sounded great we went with just one entree each, skipping appetizers. The signature dish, scallops, was out of this world and the prosciutto wrapped monk fish was unbelievably good. Best restaurant in San Antonio imo. Definitely a must for foodies or anyone who enjoys casual fine dining.

Best dining experience we have ever had! Everything was on point from the time we checked in until the time we left the restaurant. The drinks were amazing, the salad bar was out of this world, and the meats, oh my God! The tastiest meats we've ever had! We were celebrating our birthdays and we're very very happy that we had chose to come here to celebrate! The staff was extremely attentive, the managers visited the table several times, and the overall atmosphere was definitely a 10-star rating! Thank you!

Great Business Dinner Experience. We were able to get a small room, which was perfect for 10 people. The wait staff was "just attentive enough". They were IMMEDIATELY there when you wanted them and otherwise stayed out. The food was fantastic, (our group have variety of appetizers and entrees ranging from Fish to Pork Chops). The deliveries of the different courses was perfectly timed. Our waiter was GREAT! (He made exceptional recommendations and made all my out-of-town guest feel like they were locals. It was an OUTSTANDING evening. In closing, I have been dinning at THIS Myron's for over 10 years and the service there has been consistently exceptional. Whenever I have an important business dinner, I know I can always trust that Myron's will deliver.
