"I didn't realize that the original @siloelevated is the Alamo Heights location. It's all of our first time to visit for dinner tonight. It's a touch different than the other locations.Dad had the Limeade, I had Malbec, and my husband had the Spellbound Pinot Noir. Dad and I shared the Chicken Orzo Soup. My husband had the Baby Wedge. The 2 Way Foie Gras was so delectable! The braised version was fantastic. Just wish there were more toast. Dad and I shared the Pan Roasted Red Snapper. My husband had the Center Cut Ribeye. Everything was so good. We left so full!Tonight, they were having a promotion. If you spend $100, then they give you a $50 gift card to use on your next visit. What a deal!"
"My boyfriend and I have stopped by 2 times having the same bartender serving us on each visit. The first time he orders an old fashion, in which he was not impressed with. You can tell the bartender was not equipped with curating this drink.The 2nd visit he ordered a tequila sunrise and it didn't even have the layer of the obvious colors that are in this drink. When we got the bill, there was a $3 fee added for the juice, excuse me what???? That was a first that we have seen before and my boyfriend was not happy. He brought his dismay up to the bartender but said that is just the way things are. He is not a skilled bartender nor does he have the customer service touch.The bar is very small so can fill up easily and feels rather tight since the walls are so close to the seating surrounding it but there is plenty of seating outside. The first visit there was a live musician playing acoustic guitar where he sings covers to songs of your choice. My boyfriend and I had fun requesting some songs for him to sing, in which he was very talented. The second visit it was a pianist that sounded great too but it got so dang loud patrons talking we had to go outside. Unfortunately all of this has made us decide not to return again."
"Omg these margs are to die for. So good and dressed perfectly. It's such a cute little place in the perfect spot at the mall. I got the margarita flight with cucumber, mango, and strawberry. The bartender was the sweetest girl ever and made our drinks super quick. Definitely a good try if you drink and are at la Cantera!"

We went to Silo Alamo Heights to start Culinaria Restaurant Weeks. First the disappointment. Parking is terrible. Now that La Fogata is on the first floor there are not enough spaces. La Fogata has tables in every nook and cranny of the floor which exceeds the parking in the lot. And the valet parking has blocked at least half the already small lot. Now for the good. We had a reservation for Silo and we were whisked up for the elevated experience immediately upon arrival. You can tell the front of the house staff are not new and work well as a team. Didn't they used to have bread service? No bread offered on this visit.They have a very diverse wine list that is sure to please all palates. We decided to opt for the Culinaria menu and were not disappointed.My wife had the fried oysters, Caesar salad, and sea bass. Fried oysters have been her favorite for years. The sauce on the sea bass was a black garlic-mushroom sauce that was very good. The sea bass was moist and cooked perfectly. If you ask nicely you can get two appetizers and skip dessert. Caesar salad came with an anchovy. Good, but I prefer it blended with the dressing for a good saltiness.I had the Caesar salad, the GRILLED TEXAS AKAUSHI STRIP with Roasted Red Potatoes, Creamy Roasted Sweet Corn, Grilled Asparagus, Charred Red Peppers, and Herb Chimichurri with cheesecake for dessert. That NY strip, cooked medium rare was perfect. Tender and flavorful. The chimichurri added a nice herb and salt balance with the roasted red peppers. The cheesecake was not a huge portion (fine by me) and was a nice creamy finish to the meal.The Silo team does a great job with both service and food quality without charging outrageous prices.

Great spot to grab a cocktail and apps if you get there before the kitchen closes. Unfortunately, the bar staff can be hit or miss.....sometime rude. Ambiance is great and typically fun. Could easily be a 5 with staff who knew how to treat paying customers.

We live nearby and like to walk over and soak up the ambiance with a cocktail...the little courtyard has a nice tropical feeling with fountains and greenery...The servers always have a nice smile and are friendly and the music is great. Margaritas are fantastic! Our complaint appears to be a management issue...the last few times we've been here, they have been out of wine. And this is over the course of 4 months, so doesn't seem to be an anomaly. And as the staff has time, it would be nice if they'd wipe off the tables and their bar area. We ended up leaving and going to a bar next door.
