   This place had reservations when all other restaurants were full. The reason for this - Open Table did not disclose that this meal would be a $100 a person. If you have an enemy specifically your worst enemy, send them here. My family and I came for a New Year’s Eve dinner. Ambiance is nice, staff is kind and friendly, however your food will make you think the restaurant is pulling a fast one on you. 4 course meal that’s pre planned. If I’m paying 25$ a plate for 5 people I want a board for my charcuterie board. Food was awful!!

   Went for NYE prefix, Cold soup, cold steak, mediocre wine pairing, much better places in town. Sad, cause I used to love this spot.

   This was a very disappointing outing for New Years Eve, and certainly not the experience or quality we expected after hearing favorable feedback/reviews. We had a party of 7 - 4 adults and 3 kiddos (7, 10 and 10) and understood they would have a preset menu which we weren’t overly excited about either way. We chose to go either way based on the reputation. The kids options were worse than the adults with only chicken, steak strips or Mac and cheese, but what was less ideal was getting 2-3 courses as adults while they sat there and watched. So, of course we shared our small plates with them. The charcuterie was small and decent, however the salad and bisque options were horrible - the salad was mixed greens with olive oil and Parmesan cheese/crumbs, exceptionally simple and basic. The bisque was not creamy or smooth and was reminiscent of baby food - not an exaggeration, it was pretty much exactly what it was. The entrees didn’t get any better - we can’t speak to the halibut, but the prime rib was poor at best (chewy/low quality cut) and the duck was foul and very strong and gamy. The evening as topped off by our daughter’s Mac and Cheese coming out with a hair in it and having to be replaced. When we left, our bill for the evening was just shy of $500 for 2 adults and 3 children (the other couple with us were on a separate tab). A bit higher due to 2 drinks per adult. You would expect that a top rated restaurant would not take advantage of a holiday rush to impose such a poor experience for a family dishing out $500 for a nice meal and experience. The only true highlight was the chocolate cake and kids ice cream(s). Those are low highlights for that size check - very disappointing…..

   Some dishes were delicious, others were bland and flavorless. Would not recommend the duck. We were place out in a back room which was OK (late reservation), but the waiter forgot about us. He made it up with free desert. That was nice and appreciated. They were out of the dish I came to try. Overall I could have skipped this one.

   Great food, great service, a little disappointed not to be seated in the garden room, but would recommend to anyone who wants a nice meal.

   The Maverick in San Antonio’s King William district offers a truly delightful dining experience. If you’re planning a visit, I recommend using their valet service, which may be more affordable than other parking options in the area. Arriving early is a great idea to enjoy their expertly crafted cocktails, created by talented mixologists. We visited for the first time with my mother-in-law, and the ambience was perfect—made even more special by the festive Christmas decor. We arrived as soon as their bar opened at 4 PM and enjoyed cocktails before our 5 PM dinner reservation. Their drink menu is exceptional, with the Carajillo standing out as a must-try. This creamy, luscious espresso cocktail is both a visual treat to watch being prepared and an absolute delight to sip. The dinner menu is a la carte, complemented by an expansive selection of European wines. Every dish we tried was delicious, but the hazelnut balsamic Brussels sprouts deserve special mention—crispy, flavorful, and absolutely unforgettable. The attentive and helpful staff rounded out our wonderful experience. We can’t wait to return to enjoy more of what The Maverick has to offer!

    Among the most consistently excellent restaurants we patronize. The quality of service stands out. Every server we’ve had is attentive, knows the menu intimately and makes us feel welcome. The food is great and favorite items are reliably as they were on previous visits. I am not a particularly adventurous eater so I find this a comforting attribute. Others may see it differently. Menu changes appear to be mostly limited to tinkering with sides or appetizers, so if you liked it the first time, you needn’t worry about being the victim of the whims of a chef seeking notoriety.
