    We went for our 38th Anniversary and the evening was perfect! It was probably the absolute best dining experience we have ever had! From the moment we entered the front door every single employee that greeted us was impeccable. They were friendly, extremely accommodating and attentive. I have certain dietary restrictions and they went above and beyond to be accommodating. Our server Brad was a true credit to his profession and made our entire night fabulous! Our meal, of course, was delicious but the entire experience was what did it for us! Well done Bonahan’s, well done!

    This is one of my must do restaurants i. San Antonio for seafood. The gumbo was so salty that it spoiled the taste, but the shrimp was tasty. It had no vegetables or okra. The ahi dinner was really good. The orzo was full of flavor, herbs, and veggies. The Mahi Mahi was good. The shrimp was amazing, and the avocado enhanced the flavor. Some sliced slivered almonds over the top would have added texture to the meal. The spinach was quite salty. Our server was terrific.

    We went to Paesanos before attending an event at the Majestic. We made reservations for two hours beforehand. We were greeted and seated promptly. Our order was taken quickly. Nonetheless, it was 45 minutes to an hour before the entrees arrived. Some in our party had salads brought earlier. Bread was provided. As we were with friends we were well entertained, however, I began to get nervous about the time element. We were not truly kept abreast of the delay. The food was excellent as always. Perhaps the wait staff was understaffed as there was less attention than I thought appropriate. My husband had to get up and get someone to bring a reorder of his coffee even though the waiter had taken his cup to refill. Nonetheless if you have plenty of time and are enjoying visiting with friends, the food is outstanding.
