Bar Loretta

Octavio . Great personality ! The person you want to seee greet you place you go into an establishment. That's the review ‍ because i said . IYKYK

This place was recommended to me by some locals so I was excited to give it a try. I googled and yelped this place before hand and both sites said this place opens at 4pm. I got there at 4:05pm and they were closed. Turns out they don't open until 5pm. I waited in my car and noticed that all the employees were taking the parking stalls and parking in front of the building. When I worked in a restaurant, we were not allowed to park near the restaurant front doors to allow parking for customers. But maybe Texas is different. I walked in at 5pm and was immediately greeted and sat at a table. The waiter I had was awesome ! I loved his vibe and energy. He's the only reason for the 3 stars. Food was subpar. I ordered Brussels sprouts for the starter and some were undercooked. I also didn't care for the amount of chamoy and salt they put on it. It was overpowering after eating a few because it made it sour and salty. They should look at adding something for a little sweetness to balance the palate. I also got the beef tenderloin for the entree. I ordered it medium rare and it came out rare. It was seasoned very well so I still ate it. I try to do my best never to send anything back to the kitchen. The potatoes gratin were good and so was the asparagus but nothing to write home about. The cocktails were freaking AWFUL! I understand that they want to be unique and stand out by having "upscale" cocktails but the two I tried were gross. They didn't have any margaritas or any well-known cocktails so I went with something that I thought would be similar to a Paloma which was "chasing ghosts" and it just tasted like vodka, orange peel and sugar. The waiter asked me if I enjoyed my drink and I told him it taste terrible. He swapped it out for another "Paloma" ish item which was the Paloma Roja and again I couldn't drink it with a straight face it was that awful. I just told the waiter I liked it so I wouldn't be a hassle but for the first time in my adult life time, I left without finishing my alcohol which speaks volumes. Lastly, I got the double chocolate bread pudding. I took that one to go and without ice cream. When I got home I opened the to-go tin and was drooling bc it looked so good and chocolately ! Almost like an ooey-gooey brownie! Then I took a bite and again disappointment flooded my veins. The bread was hard! I literally had to pick around to try to find any soft pieces. It was like chocolate covered rocks :( While their service was phenomenal, I will not be back and would not recommend this place to anyone. It's super cute and the photos on their website and Yelp do a great job of luring people in but I could have better food and cocktails at Chili's for a fraction of the price.

Great food. Great service. Located in the King William area. Parking is going to be your biggest issue. They do have a small parking lot, but expected to always be full. Street parking is available nearby. I went in a group of four and we typically order a bunch of dishes so we could try them. This time was no different. For our appetizers, we ordered:beets and Burrata salad: everyone loved this dish. It could have come with a little more cheese, but the beets were the star. prosciutto crusted morbier cheese: good flavor. Comes with bread and figs. Griddled green onion polenta cake: super good. The goat cheese complemented it well. crispy brussels sprouts: We didn't know what to expect from the brussels sprouts as they came with Chamoy. I have to say they are one of the best Brussel sprouts I've had. It is a good size portion. We also ordered bread that is complementary upon request. It's nice and buttery and comes with oil. For the main dishes;Tequila shrimp: the skewer came with 6 large shrimp on a bed of savory sauce with a very interesting corn cake. We didn't know what to think of the corn cake, but we all agreed we liked it. The boss burger: good size. Good flavor. You get the options of fries or tots. Double cut pork chop: tender. On a bed of savory mashed sweet potato Peppered beef tenderloin: tender. Good portion. Good flavor. For our drinks, we started off with cocktails. I had the till the end. It had ginger and turmeric. Everyone loved mine so much that the second round was the same drink for everyone else. We were too full to get dessert, but we did stop at their market store. The market store is right next-door. They sell, lattes, pastries, sandwiches, cheese, refrigerated goods and dry goods. It is super cute and I plan to go back. I did buy an oatmeal pie from them and I would buy it again. I do understand that they rotate their items based on the season.Our waitress was friendly and she gave us great suggestions

The ambiance here is so cute, like much of Southtown and a really nice relaxed vibe inside. The staff are attentive and helpful and I recommend reservations if going in the weekend at peak dinner hours. I do wish they had a larger menu or more frequent rotation of specials. The beet salad was okay and a basket of fries to share always is going to be good.

My favorite place to go to, the food is always coming out hot and delicious never disappoints, plus I am a picky eater to deal with. I recommend this place for dates nights, birthdays, etc. It is small inside the place so make sure to make reservations on weekends.

Such a cute date spot. Or grab-a-drink-with-a-friend spot. My friend and colleague (shout out to Fernanda F!) dropped in during the neighborhood's First Fridays... we were able to immediately grab a seat at the bar and order a glass of red and a cocktail. The bar is dark, sultry - a mix of romantic vibes at a very vintage dive. Service was extremely helpful and welcoming to boot. Had it not been for the delectable food photos I now see on Yelp, I wouldn't have known they're a full-service restaurant "serving elevated, modern Texas cuisine." I'll put a pin in that for next time I'm in SA.

San Antonio is another place for great food. Everything was top-notch here. Great food, great service, great decor. I really like how they had the old school vintage look in this place. I don't know what you would call it but I'm sure there's a name for it. The customer service was top notch. Bree did an outstanding job! Food: everything here was phenomenal. The quail was simply to die for. The fruit and meat tray that we ordered with cheese was the best. Oh my God that was so good. I could go back and order that as a dish that's how good it was. Also, my hamburger or if you wanna call it a smash burger was top notch. Every single bite was full of flavor and it was made to perfection. Their bread, pudding, the chocolate bread pudding with ice cream. Simply amazing. I like the Decor like I said earlier one thing I really enjoyed is how they restored the old-school hardwood floors. What a great touch and look. Another thing it stood out is how they did the tile work with the name in the Tile . I thought that was a unique touch. This is a great establishment and I will come here every time. I'm in San Antonio .

Boyfriend and i have been eyeing this place for awhile, we're Soflo natives so we're always on the look out. Finally got to visit this bar tonight and it was fantastic! Super chill vibes, VERY attentive staff, they always come check up on you. We had yet to try the bites here, but next time we will definitely be back to try the food! I recommend yall.

Amazing food with great ambiance! Perfect for a date night. Nice upscale restaurant with great cocktails and food. The service was great, staff have always been super friendly when we go. I would definitely recommend for any occasion.

Earlier last week, we decided to take Dad to @barloretta for dinner. It would be a first for Dad and it's been a while since I've been there.Dad had Lemonade, Hubby had Big in Japan, and I had Ride or Die. All great drinks! Hubby and I shared the Caesar Salad. We all shared the bread service and Brussels sprouts. I got Dad Quail and Mac & Cheese. I had Lamb Chops and Hubby had the Fish of the Day, swordfish. Everything was tasty. We ended the meal with the French Toast Brulee, a little different yet sweet ending.
