Battalion

Had an incredible evening at Battalion tonight celebrating my wife's birthday!! I've been wanting to try this place for a while now and this was a perfect opportunity for a date night. For starters we had the spinach dumplings and the the meatballs, both were delicious but my favorite were the dumplings by far. For our mains we had the lamb chops and the tenderloin, both incredible. For sides we shared the green beans, the cavatappi, and the manacotti pasta. We were so delighted with all of it and almost too full for dessert....but still sampled the smores panna cotta and the tiramisu. Our server was over the top friendly and helpful, assisted with drink selections and never left us waiting or wanting for anything. (I am so sorry I forgot his name, but he even took a picture of us to celebrate the evening!) Thank you for a wonderful evening and a fantastic dinner!! We'll be back again for sure!!

Before coming to San Antonio, I checked out several places to eat near the hotel where I was staying. And I'm glad I chose this one. My friend and I decided to eat outside, which was nice, but despite it being a busy evening, our food didn't take too long to arrive at our table. The food was great, and our server was sweet and funny. I'm no fan of spiders, but I did like that the restaurant decided to decorate the outside with them, lol. Go check this place out!

Good was good but not excellent. The atmosphere throws me off though. They could have done something so cool and unique with an old fire house. However, the only connections to the fire house are the name and a picture on the menu. The restaurant is filled with super modern fixtures and glass sculptures. Very strange.

I drove 2 hours from Austin to San Antonio to see Shakira and she canceled the concert. I was really upset and found this restaurant, and I am so glad I did! My experience was amazing; dining here truly made my night so much better. All the food was fresh and delicious. The highlight of the night was the Burrata appetizer! I look forward to coming back just for it. I also had the chicken parmesan which was very good and a very large portion. My friend had the prosciutto pasta and said it was great. Also, I would like to mention that Charlie was a wonderful server. The restaurant was busy and he was on top of all the little details.

Italian food is inherently good, and Battalion did not drop the ball. Portions are good and the prix fixe menu had a good selection of dishes. The marinara is some of the best I've had in town and the meatballs were very good. The inside is really well decorated with lots of red, which I assume is to pay homage to the building being a fire station in the past. I would have loved to be seated on the 2nd floor, but that may have to wait for the next visit. The staff is amazing, attentive, and really make the entire visit enjoyable and not stuffy.

Every dish we tried was amazing. Wacey our waiter had great knowledge of every dish and made some great suggestions for us. The beef tartare was my favorite appetizer. I recommend trying the Rainbow trout and Ricotta Cavateli. Friendly staff. Thank you for a nice experience.

Wow, the food at Battalion was AMAZING. Sorry we don’t have pics, but we took a group of 10 for a college graduation dinner. Appetizers included dumplings, lasagna side (it was spicy), and meatballs. Just wow on those and honestly, you could have just eaten appetizers they were that good. Drink menu was fantastic. Main courses were chicken parm, eggplant parm, lamb chops, pork tenderloin, sides (green beans were a bit salty and beets were amazing) and everything was a 10 out of a 10. Our server was obviously a pro at big tables as well. It was just a bit loud because it was an old fire house, but the tables were spaced nicely apart. This place is a 10 out of 10 for sure.

It is an open space, low lit, vintage atmosphere with a air of romance. The service is impecable and the table setting elegant. The food is fancy and well made. My order, the raviolis stuffing was tasty but would not brag about it. The green beans were the tastiest of the dishes.
