We were visiting San Antonio on vacation and had dinner at Bliss. The food was outstanding, service amazing and the atmosphere delightful. We enjoyed the scallops and red fish for our meal and the butternut squash cheesecake for dessert. All were incredible. If we make it back to the area, dinner at Bliss will be a must.

I didn't know what to expect heading into Nicosi, I only knew we had friends that had raved about it. My husband and I were blown away. We truly thought we'd left food *experiences* like this behind in NYC, where we lived for more than a decade. It's not that there isn't food just as incredible in San Antonio, but rarely is it turned into an entire experience on top of the food being amazing. If you're ready and willing to be surprised, indulged, fully wowed — Nicosi is for you. The food blew us away, the beverage pairings (both NA and A) were top notch, and interacting with the chefs and staff was nothing short of incredible.
