    My daughter and I had a lovely evening at Savor! We tried new things like wild boar and a smoky lavender cocktail. You could feel the excitement of the new chefs. All of the students rotate between the kitchen, the bar and the dining room (on different nights). Our server, Megan, did an excellent job! She was very personable and informative about the food and other things of interest in San Antonio. The teacher also made a point to come speak with us. He was both interesting and informative. We felt welcomed and treated like royalty. The food was delicious and each course was artfully presented. I wish I had more of that berry pudding for breakfast!!

    We went for my mother's birthday and had a fabulous experience. I choose the rabbit confit, the oxtail dumplings, and the duck. They were all excellent choices. We will be back!

    Recognizing that this is student learning experience, we have always appreciated the hard work and sincerity if the servers at Savor. Our meals were very well prepared and served with grace and careful attention. My wife had an excellent grilled butter lettuce salad while I their apple & fennel soup. We both had the duck entree and then I had a berry compote with custard cream while she had a rhubarb ice cream dessert. We enjoyed them all.

    My wife and I made a dinner reservation for our anniversary. We opt’d for the 4 course experience and we really enjoyed it! The food and service was outstanding. The wait staff takes good care of you and offers great suggestions on the menu items. The food pairings were well thought out and were delicious! When you plan to go make reservations well ahead of time to get the day and time you want.

    We had 2 couples, all of us chose the 4 course meal. We mostly ordered various dishes to be able to sample the different presentations. Unofficial winners: 1st course-Smoked Wild Boar; 2nd course-Oxtail Dumplings; 3rd course-Flat Iron Steak; 4th course-German Cheese Cake. Wait staff was excellent in explaining each dish. Also, head chef(instructor), Hinnerk Von Bargen, also came to the table to visit including then a visit to the kitchen. Great experience and would definitely return next time we're in San Atonio.

    Elevated cuisine and top-notch service. The food was all so delicious, Oxtail dumplings and the duck being two of my favorites. What we all really enjoyed was watching the kitchen in action. Fun evening!
