Savor

This restaurant is a branch of the Culinary Institute of America and run completely by students. They each take turns working in the front and back. Joy was our waitress and she was such a gem. Venue looked amazing as soon as we walked in.They have a 3 or 4 course option for $55 and $61, respectively. You can pick any combination you want from course 1, 2 and 4 and only 1 entree for the number course you purchase. They also have a wine pairing to match. there is a regular wine pairing with consists of wine from Italy and a premium consisting of wines from France. They also have a sommelier, Fabian, who's actually from France. He was absolutely amazing.We got the 4 course with their 4-course wine pairing. We each got different items and shared which was ideal. The duck, salmon, veal croquette, and mushroom were phenomenal and pure umami. The schnitzel and duck were absolutely divine. The frozen milk tea was a perfect way to finish things off. They were very generous with their pairings as well. If there's a wine you don't like, Fabian will come over and make sure they have an option you do prefer.They do not take tip because they are an educational institution but they do have a service charge to cover operating costs. They offer a 10% discount for military and teachers which is awesome. We would give them 10 stars if we could. We're definitely coming back here and bringing guests here as well when they visit San Antonio because of how amazing they were overall.

As for me, this was a first time experience from a restaurant of a culinary school. With that said, all I can say is that - "Everything was great". As soon as you walk through the door, you receive a cheerful greeting from the host and we were immediately seated (we did make reservations). I noticed the welcoming vibe the establishment offered, nicely decorated and welcoming. An appetizer trio was ordered which consisted of a smoked pork belly, smoked salmon and squash purée. A decision was made to partake of the four course meal to include wine pairing. from a sweet Prosecco to a nice Pinot noir.For our main entrees, we went with the wild boar schnitzel and the crispy fish skin. Both delicious.We finished our evening with their cheesecake and the frozen milk tea.This is a place we will not hesitate to return. In fact, next time we have out of town guests, this will be one of our go to place.Why did we wait this long to experience Savor???

What a wonderful dining experience! We were a group of 5 and every single member of the staff made us feel special. Plating was spectacular. Food divine. Service out of this world. I really liked the clean and simple decor, it kept the focus on the food and service.

This was probably the best restaurant experience ever! I was invited by Dairy Max and was provided a special menu from the Culinary Institute of America to showcase dairy in each course, and they were all very delicious. I don't like blue cheese, but eating it with the salad made it taste good. Duck is delicious, of course! But the basque cheesecake was to die for! It was so soft, airy, and delicious. I'm going to have dreams about it.The servers were all students, but they were very attentive and frequently refilled my glass of water.The restaurant interior is has a minimalistic aura, and everything was very clean and proper.I would recommend this restaurant!

It felt like there were 4 people per diner on this day. Maybe it felt that way because we were early. I wish I had gotten the pear, instead of the cherry dessert.My friend mentioned that the meatballs taste like jajang myun sauce. My duck was good, with a little bit of crispy skin but my friend's was very soggy. I think the arroz with the forbidden rice would've been the ting to get.Last time I ate here I loved it. This time, the menu was so-so. Next time, I should look at the menu before booking. I think I'm just getting pickier with my old age.

Savor has become our gold standard for fine dining. Right off the bat, the person attending the entrance opened the door for us and warmly greeted us - not the worn out welcome of someone grinding through the night, but someone who genuinely seemed to care that we'd have a good time at Savor. The interior is modern and warm - clean lines and lots of wood. We've come a couple times and each time the servers are so helpful and courteous. The margarita is excellent, sweet and refreshing. Each time we've been, we've loved the food here. Recently, the pistachio crusted ahi and pork albondigas were great. But since the menu changes every season, asking the opinions of the servers is really helpful. Since the price of each dish doesn't affect an expected tip, the servers are really giving an honest opinion of what's really great, and they have never steered us wrong! Looking forward to coming back soon!

Wow- I found this restaurant online and tried to make a reservation- but it was booked up. We stopped in when we got to the area and was told it was full. Went back later and somehow got lucky and the chef was able to get us in!!!We have been to a restaurant like this in st Helena California so knew it would be a special treat.We were not disappointed- he even gave us a drink to hold us over until the table got up which was very quick. Everything was so amazing. The food was so good and I love that everyone working there is students (we didn't torture them too much). They really try hard and my husbands napkin fell in the floor and a girl picked it up and went and brought him a new one (no restaurant ever does that)If you are in this area make sure you go here- you will have an amazing meal at such a reasonable cost that is just so awesome. I will definitely plan ahead next time I'm in San Antonio and make a reservation and not just hope I can get in.Thanks for such a great experience!!!

A coworker and I visited this restaurant during a work trip. She made reservations in advance and mentioned they can be hard to get so definitely plan ahead. I loved that the students have the opportunity to get experience in all positions, front and back of the house. It's cool to see the food being prepared in the kitchen as well. The menu was a fusion of Italian and Japanese but changes . I was excited to try new flavors and dishes. Everything was delicious. My favorite was the mushroom risotto and the tomato arugula salad. The service was outstanding and the atmosphere of the restaurant was like being at a fine dining experience.With the option to select 3 or 4 courses, alcoholic beverages, wine and coffee, the experience is top tier! I will definitely look forward to visiting during my future visits.After dinner we walked around the area and enjoyed the lights.

First time in San Antonio & first time to this culinary institute restaurant. Really lovely open kitchen ...loved watching the chefs hard to work. Service was amazing and food was creative and really reasonably priced . I chose the 3 courses for $55 and was very comfortably full. Highly recommended if you've never been.

I went for the first time today with a good friend. We had excellent service from Corinna, who is set to graduate August 9th from this Culinary Institute!We ordered the 4-course plus a few extras we just had to try! The menu changes every 3 months. We got to try some octopus, lamb chop, branzino fish, and for dessert a cherry pie, chocolate mouse, & charcuterie plate of sorts. It's like a 5-star dining experience at a reasonably priced place since they are student chefs. Wonderful food & we are eager to go back soon! Cheers from The Street Angel! .
