"I was interested to see if there any more Restaurant Week places we could check out and the menu for @luceristorante piqued my interest. Hubby agreed when he took a look as well. I made reservations through Open Table for dinner tonight.We found out that the prix fixe menu is part of their regular offering. Included is a glass of sparkling wine, pinot noir or chardonnay. Hubby and I both chose pinot noir and it's really smooth. Dad and I shared the Ravioli al Quattro Formaggi/Cheese Ravioli, and Pan-Seared Sea Bass, Shrimp and Asparagus Risotto. Hubby had the Gamberi al Limone/Sauteed Shrimp, and Linguine Mare Chiaro/Pasta with seafood. We all shared the Creme Brulee and Tiramisu. The portions are pretty generous that hubby wasn't able to finish his pasta dish. It was a pleasure meeting owner and chef Joe Buonincontri. He's been blessed with running @luceristorante for 18 years! I'm looking forward to warmer weather and sitting in their outdoor patio. We were noticing that several tables ordered their pizza so we might try that the next time.If you haven't tried @luceristorante, add it to your list to check out!"
"Paesanos is one of my favorite places to eat at in SA. This location offers lots of seating. With a n option to be seated indoors, outdoors or in between in what I like to call the sun room. The sourdough bread and hummus are one of my many things which Jew me coming back. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu but my Persia l favorites are the chicken Parmesan and shrimp paesano. The servers are super helpful when it comes to ordering and also come by frequently for refills. I always leave here satisfied."
"It was first time checking it out and I loved it! First off, there is LOTS of free parking!!! we went on a Sunday where is it happy hour all day! It wasn't to crowded which I enjoyed, it's clean, even the bathrooms, there is plenty of seating inside and outside. The beer was and I tasted the best IPA I've ever tasted here! They have some small eats/snacks, but there is also a food truck available on the grounds. It's dog friendly too. The staff is pleasant too! Good atmosphere to hang out!"
"If I could give them 10 stars I would! I ordered the Shrimp Milano. The starter salad was delicious! The dressing was divine. Our server was awesome! Great service. Our entree was perfect. The best part was that I stayed chatting with our family friend for an extra hour and they didn't boot us. We lost track of time! Thank you for your excellent food and service. Perfect for conversation. I want to come back and try the Chicken Picatta!"

I'd never actually heard of Luce before until a friend suggested we give it a try one evening and now I'm mad at myself for sleeping on this delicious gem located off of Huebner Rd. The property is spacious with a bar area, large dining room, and outdoor patio. Long story short, the space was very cute, service was AMAZING, and the food was soooooo good. For my starter I went with the cheese ravioli which was super tasty. My entree was the Costolette Brasate and YALL this thing was soooo good and came in a large enough portion I had plenty left for lunch the next day. The short rib was so tender and flavorful. I'm getting hungry for it just writing this review. To close out the meal I went with the Chocolate Lava Torta W/ Vanilla Gelato and a glass of Prosecco and it was another home run. My friend also loved everything he ordered and I have to agree that his dishes were delicious as well because I of course had to sample them! The caprese app, and lobster ravioli, and pistachio cannoli were also very, very good (although I may be biased but I do think my dishes were better).All in all, I don't think it's possible to go wrong with anything you find Luce serving up. Get here and get here fast yall!

This place had been on our list for awhile and we finally made it last night with our dear friends for dinner. Think of an intimate setting - as lights are pretty dim and decor was dark and modern. But, business was busy and tables were bustling with all ranges from families to couples. Our server Reagan was the sweetest and the best! Attentive and informative, she checked on us frequently. They have a very large wine menu, but I opted for the black orchid martini. Went down smooth and the addition of that special black cherry was yummy. I'll have to find those special dark cherries at the store lolFresh sourdough with olive oil and their house made hummus was complimentary. Bread was nice and soft with a slight crisp on the outside. Menu was small print, so be sure to bring glasses for those of you who can't see like me : D After debating back and forth between the cioppino and the scallops, I went with the scallops. OMG the best decision ever! Beautifully plated, but tastefully excellent. Three large scallops cooked and seasoned to perfection were atop a bed of asparagus. The scallops were melt in your mouth and even the asparagus were cooked to a nice consistency. It came with small semolina crab like croquettes and a pepper sauce. The menu said gnocchi, but it was more of a croquette texture. Nevertheless, the entire plate was delicious. The house salad my dish came with was awesome as well! - Idk what the dressing was, but it was good. Others at the table had the capellini with added chicken- excellent choice! Very tasty with a tiny bit of spice. Beef tenderloin- 4/5 per my friend. It wasn't cooked to her liking and the truffle croquettes didn't give off true truffle flavor. Overall, good food, great service! We'll be back

Alamo Beer Co. cool location, great beers. They had an event that was ending when we showed up so it was alittle less people there then I would've expected on a Saturday but that was bad just means more places to sit. It was our first time here and we were looking to try something new. I originally decided to try Ultimus since my first choice was sold out. My man got the Saison. The Ultimus has a subtle banana flavor that makes for a smooth, full sip. Really enjoyed this basement brew.Great place to chill, you can even walk over to Burleson Yard or if you have a scooter, go to La Ruina and make a day out of it.

The ambiance is everything! We went to watch the girls NCAA basketball, and it was perfect. The weather was nice, the restaurant had fans up and blowing which added to a nice breeze, and the screens were huge enough for all to enjoy the game (speakers could've been a tad bit louder) The corn on a cup was amazing, but the rest of the food was pretty average on terms of BBQ. This is definitely a spot to visit for the ambiance alone!

We went on a Wednesday night at the Riverwalk and it was amazing. We even had a mariachi band play for us while at dinner which was super cool. There were a lot of people out here and this is definitely somewhere. I can't wait to get back to oh yeah, and the food was amazing along with the drink drinks!

"Goated af fam. Stop reading this review and just make a reservation. Seriously it's the best in the city. It overlooks the river. Just go. Everything is done to a high standard. The sticky toffee pudding will replace whatever your favorite dessert currently is. Cheers y'all."
"Located at the riverwalk it's decent place for lunch and family friendly. We had chips and salsa and the street corn as starters, the street corn was particularly good and I especially liked the chips that come with it. For main dish I had the fajitas with beef the meet was good and soft and the portion was filling. The enchiladas trio and deluxe dinner were also good. Great service."
