    We had relatives in from Australia and knew Paloma Blanca would not disappoint for our farewell meal. It was delicious. We ordered the ceviche, enchiladasas 09, chile relleno tradicional, shrimp chile relleno, and the chile relleno a la Adelfa. Everyone loved their meal and we topped it off with a buñuelo with ice cream and a serving of chocolate tres leches cake. The service was friendly and professional. The general manager, Oscar Balderas, is fabulous and really takes care of his guests. Highly recommend!

    Such a perfect choice for a late Christmas lunch. From the way we were greeted when we arrived to the very last moment. We had the crab stuffed mushrooms appetizer that was delicious. My husband had the grilled salmon and I had a petite filet. Both perfectly cooked and very good. We shared the creamed spinach, generous portion and so good. I had a glass of the house wine and my husband a couple of cocktails. Atmosphere was quiet enough for conversation. Wonderful service. We were both totally pleased with everything.

    I can’t imagine a lovelier Christmas dinner out. The service was excellent, the food outstanding (we had the prime rib, feast of the seven fishes, and Christmas ham) and the ambience quiet and comfortable. Highly recommend, and is definitely on my list of San Antonio restaurants to visit again.

    Another great meal at Clementine! Service was outstanding as well -- attentive but not intrusive, as well as very helpful with the menu. We (my wife and I) shared a beet salad and baked brie with truffle. She had their salmon and I had their Maine scallops. Great seafood prepared perfectly: moist and seared well, served with perfect complementary garnishes. We shared their Clementine crunch bar for dessert: just perfect as a light finish for our meal. Our cocktails were also delightful.
