Bohanan's Prime Steaks and Seafood

We had a quick, pre-show meal at the bar on a Thursday night. As soon as we were seated, our server asked about our after-dinner plans to ensure the timing so we could make our show on time. The attention to deal is impressive. Ryan took charge of our table and made sure every detail was taken care of in a timely manner. His smile and wonderful, positive energy made our first experience here even better. We had the pecan crusted brie and chicken lollipops for the appetizer, crab cakes, and the 13oz steak for main and their butter cake for dessert. Highly recommend the brie and crab cakes, absolutely delicious. My steak came with truffle fries, which had great balance and were not overwhelmed by the truffle flavor. I'm personally not a fan of the smoke flavor on my steak, but it was perfectly cooked and very good quality. The house old-fashioned was delicious, and my husband (usually a non-drinker) loved his blackberry vodka sour. I look forward to the full dining experience in the future.

We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Bohanan’s, and from start to finish, the experience was absolutely top notch. The service was truly excellent—every staff member, from the greeters who met us at the door to the team that walked us to our table, made us feel special. They all wished us a happy anniversary, which set the perfect tone for the evening. We started with the French onion soup, which is made with lamb broth. Honestly, it was probably the best French onion soup we’ve ever had—rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. For our main course, we went all out and ordered the 24 oz Japanese Wagyu ribeye steak (bone-in). It was buttery, tender, and easily one of the best steaks I’ve ever tasted—worth every penny, even if it’s a splurge. We paired it with the potato au gratin and sautéed spinach, both of which were cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. The brandy mushroom sauce we added for the steak was a wise choice and took the meal to another level. We also enjoyed several cocktails, each one crafted beautifully and full of flavor. All in all, Bohanan’s delivered a ten out of ten experience for our special night. If you’re looking for impeccable service, a romantic atmosphere, and some of the best steak in San Antonio, this is the place to go!

Bohanan’s is the last name of the chef in Owner and was established in 2002. The building itself has some great history and I believe I was told this latest one is the third owner. Everyone we met last night took such great care us. Dave, Logan, Zander, Alex and Maya, what a team. I love the starter with the homemade jalapeño jelly, cream cheese, and Lil crunchy toast. The bread muffins were good and I really enjoyed my perfectly seasoned and cooked steak. It was fabulous. I also ordered Their House salad. It was fresh in delightful, but it definitely was not worth $21. It barely filled up the inside of a plate as you can see in my picture but overall of the decor, love the people love the food. I WOULD RECOMMEND

We were on a delayed honeymoon on a road trip to Austin and San Antonio, this play was recommended by everyone we talked with, they were so right. Loved the complete evening, just beautiful including a surprise with complimentary rose champagne. Thank your staff you were so kind to us. More great memories!

The food and service was perfect! I loved every single thing about my dinner. I ordered the crab cakes and the lamb. The crab cakes were more crab meat than anything else (which was SO tasty!) and the lamb was very tender and juicy. They knew it was my birthday and my fiancée and I received a complimentary champagne glass after my dinner - A nice surprise! Big shoutout to our server, Jesus! We will definitely be back again next year!

This is an amazing establishment, and worth the price! The service was some of the best we’ve had, over anywhere we’ve traveled. It started with the bar service, the drinks that were recommended did not disappoint, and were made skillfully, then when we started the dinner portion, again, Our server knew what he was talking about, and had plenty of suggestion for all meal types! The food that was ordered was cooked perfectly, The 11oz Filet was our main course option, along with some staple sides! You can tell the kitchen knows what they’re doing as it was all prepared to a standard that supports its price. The building is rich with history, and our server was well informed and willing to take us down memory lane with it when asked! We will definitely go back!!

The steak and seafood restaurant is upstairs and requires appropriate attire. We went to the restaurant and bar on the main floor. Very friendly and attentive service. Delicious food, wine, and mocktails. Our friend was saying the mocktails she had were good so I decided to try a mojito mocktail. Neither myself nor my husband could tell it was a mocktail as it was so good.

Fantastic steak house with premium service! All the food was perfectly cooked and seasoned, definitely the best steak I’ve ever had in a restaurant! The service was amazing with very friendly and helpful staff. The restaurant is located in a quaint vintage building which adds to a great atmosphere!

My Girlfriend and I were spending our anniversary together after seeing the Selena Vive concert across the street at the Majestic Theater. We had no idea where to go for dinner but I did want to take her somewhere nice. To my luck there was an incredible steakhouse right before my very eyes! We went inside and were greeted at what I assumed to be the bar floor. We were then taken to the second floor which is where everyone seemed to be dining in at. The ambiance was very old school, classy, something out of a stylistic era movie. There were 3 people taking care of us. They all did a great job and gave excellent service. The main server seemed to have trained the majority of the restaurant which is what I was told which made me get excited. When he came over, I immediately knew why. I'm terrible with names but The flambé he made at the end made my girlfriend's night for sure. Charlie, who I'm assuming was the back wait was definitely the star of the show. He talked to us and was incredibly personable and genuine, which is what I love in any service worker. He stayed through most of our service and was a wonderful person to talk to the whole night. With this in mind the food was incredible. The bread was brought out fresh from the oven. The candied Jalapeño cream cheese dip with crostinis were so addicting. My girlfriend's fish was delectable. My steak was cooked well and was presented incredibly to the last minute detail. The truffle oil french fries were amazing. And OH MY GOODNESS THE MARGARITA!!! I'm a sucker for strong margaritas, and this one was incredible. Bohanan's Platinum Margarita is the epitome of what a margarita should be. They have their own special select barrell of tequila with grand marnier. The salt on the rim is the right touch to something so fabulous as the taste of that drink. I miss it already. The plating was spectacular. The flambé that was brought out was the greatest balance of fruitiness and sweetness in a dessert I have ever seen with an awesome presentation. All in all, this has been the best experience I have ever had at a restaurant in my life. I will gladly come back here and dine again when I come to San Antonio.

Being from Houston, Texas I'm pretty particular about my state, but let me tell you what Bohanans in San Antonio was simply top-notch. What a great experience from top to bottom. First off the decor simply amazing. I love the decor here. I took one of my favorite shots with my iPhone 16 Pro Max. The customer service is top-notch. We had several waiters checking on us throughout the entire night. We never had to wait for anything because they were on point. The drinks were full and we had everything we needed at all times. Food: everything is simply amazing here. We started off with some appetizers. The grilled oysters were made to perfection. Also, the thick cut pieces of bacon are to die for. Wow that bacon is full of flavor and simply amazing. You can call it candied bacon if you will or like beef jerky or something amazing. The chicken tortilla soup is probably the best I've ever had. I could come here and eat that for lunch and be completely satisfied, but I don't think they only open for dinner but that chicken tortilla soup is such a great dish. Blown away by it I went with a fillet and it was grilled to perfect perfection. What a great cut of meat. Every single bite was flavorful. We tried each other Steaks to make sure we got to try all the different cuts. My fillet was great, but I have to admit, the New York strip was the best cut of meat. I tried. Wow talk about a perfect steak. Oh my God I would totally come back and get a New York strip every single time the ribeye was just as good. Full of flavor and grilled to perfection. The sides were amazing. The cream corn was top notch. The au gratin potatoes were simply amazing. The desserts were to die for. As you can see, we went with bread, pudding, and crème brûlée and they were just top-notch. Everything was great here. There was nothing that I would change. They knocked it out the park. If you want great service, great food, with a beautifully decorated restaurant. This is the place to come to. This will be my go to for nice steaks when I come to San Antonio . Easiest five star review. Staff did a phenomenal job tonight. Shout out to the cooks as well.

What a lovely dinner! We were able to get in last minute for a business dinner after a glowing recommendation from the bartender at Hotel Valencia Riverwalk. The food was of course phenomenal, but the service is where this place really shines. Our server was incredible--knowledgeable, timely, and professional (but with a personality). Without a doubt, I'd recommend for a business dinner or a fancy date night. FYI - The crab cake was the table's favorite item!

Our first visit to Bohanan's Prime Steak and Seafood was unforgettable. We celebrated my husband's birthday in true style. This place is everything you'd hope for in a top-tier dining experience--every detail exudes elegance and charm. We started with the Escargot, which was perfectly prepared and set the tone for the rest of the meal. We ordered the ribeye and lobster tail for mains, accompanied by Jumbo Asparagus with Sauce Hollandaise. Every bite was exceptional, from the rich flavor of the custom-cut, prime-aged ribeye to the tender, sweet lobster. The asparagus added a perfect touch, and the Hollandaise sauce was the kind of indulgence you savor. The ambiance at Bohanan's truly transports you. It's an old-world setting with live jazz and a chic cocktail lounge that makes it feel like a special occasion all on its own. The waitstaff was attentive, friendly, and anticipated our needs, making the whole experience feel seamless and luxurious. If you're looking for a spot to celebrate or want to treat yourself to some of the finest food in downtown San Antonio, Bohanan's should be at the top of your list. It's an experience worth savoring.

Bohanan's is a fancy steakhouse on Houston street in downtown San Antonio. Although I've been to Bohanan's plenty of times and the food is always impeccable, this time I went because one of my favorite jazz bands were playing there. I went with a friend to catch the Christmas vibes of Johnny P and the Wiseguys along with Bohanan's always fantastic cocktails. The live music really elevates the vibe in this place and creates a really humbling experience. The bartenders were ever-present, professional and attentive as always and I had a great time! If you're in the downtown area do yourself a favor and go to Bohanan's and indulge in their five-star steaks and delicious crafty cocktails.

This was a wonderful venue for a business dinner- even though very busy it was quiet enough to hear my colleagues. Service was excellent and every single bite was absolutely delicious

This was the second time coming to Bohanan's.  This time was for my company's Holiday dinner and again I was impressed by the service and food.  My drink for the night was their Margarita, which was good.   I started out dinner with the Texas Heirloom Salad (apologizes for having no picture of this wonderful salad).  For my main dish, I ordered the Salmon with a side of Potatoes Au Gratin.  Everything was very delicious.  The Salmon melted in my mouth and the Potatoes complimented it very well.  For dessert, my wife and I shared their Creme Brulee, nice and light but very delicious.  Our server was outstanding as there were 10 of us in our group and she made sure we were taken care.  Yes, it is expensive, but if you want to go out on a special date (e.g. Anniversary) or your company is willing to pay for a dinner and doesn't care about the cost, then this is a great place.

Absolutely the best meal I had in San Antonio. James is a gold standard in serving as is Jesus. The food was melt in your mouth good from start to desert!! Great service, great food, great ambiance!! Incredible place.

What's very hard to do is keep on top, the best of the best, year after year. We first visited Bohanans about 12 years ago. They continue to be one if not the finest eating/drinking experiences in SATX. I don't mind paying "upwards" when the food, drinks and experience is amazing. If it's not your thing weekly - don't pass this experience up for a special occasion visit to Bohanans! Visitors, conferences, conventions, business in San Antonio. Check this location off.

Top 1% experience. Peter & Dooley were our specialists for the evening. From the sincere greetings from the front door until seated...it is obvious this restaurant is grounded in pure professionalism with a strong family influence. The toast and jalapeno jelly/ cream cheese was the perfect amuse-bouche. Thoroughly enjoyed this family recipe favorite. The tortilla soup was revolutionary and blew away any previous memory of this savory masterpiece! Outstanding We shared a 16oz ribeye that crushed all steaks (even Bobs Steak & Chop House in Dallas) we have ever had before. The elegant steak knife presentation service, that preceded was appreciated but not necessary as the steak required only the edge or our forks. Surprise supporting cast member tonight was the crab Oscar topping (intended for the steak) that we combined with the sublime potatoes gratin. Potatoes crab and hollandaise is a match made in heaven. Just perfect. The yeasty Parker House rolls were just incredible and memory invoking. Finally the crème brûlée and the bread pudding were stellar, the substitution of the vanilla for the cinnamon ice cream was a Super Bowl decision and the very best ice cream ever consumed. Dooley & Peter gave us a very heartfelt goodbye which means the world. World Class dining experience by the ENTIRE team.

Perfect spot for a pre-Majestic event, Kenny G. From the moment we went inside, we were swept away with the music and ambiance and the aroma of things to come. The candied jalapeños on cream cheese and bread are their specialty appetizer. From there, the rolls and specialty drinks arrived and then the table side cutting of our chateaubriands. We were in a quaint private upstairs room and the experience was all around perfection. Perfect for celebrating our 50th with a glass of champagne. We'll be back to enjoy this special steakhouse ...don't miss it.

If you want to celebrate an occasion downtown in a "classic" old school steakhouse with pretty views (ask for a window table), this is a good choice. I don't think it's the best steakhouse of its caliber, but it's good. We decided to celebrate our anniversary here. They used to do a beautiful table presentation with rose petals, but I guess they don't do that anymore. Several staff members wished us a happy anniversary, which was very nice. We did have a lovely table overlooking the courtyard. Just beautiful. I don't know why people rave about the cream cheese with jalapeño jelly. It's tasty, sure, but I make it at home so it's not something I want from a high-end steakhouse. We ordered the escargot to start. We love escargot and order it whenever we see it on a menu. Smothered in butter and Brie, it was very rich and one-dimensional. Great on the bread, just didn't do anything for the beautifully plump snails. They could serve that sauce alone bread alone, no snails, and it would be a big hit! Bread rolls and butter were delivered separately to the table. Soooo dry and hard. Just by appearance it was obvious, even by my eyes they weren't fresh, so I'm not sure why any food service professional would send them out of the kitchen that way. We asked for a fresh basket and those rolls were delicious. Night and day! Our first time ordering the chateaubriand for 2, requested a medium. It ranged from medium rare at one end to medium well at the other end. Averaged it out, maybe? Our waiter rolled it out on a cart and proceeded to hack at it with the dullest knife he could find. After struggling with it, even he mentioned the knife was too dull. We asked him to just split it in half but he insisted on sawing away at it because there's an expected presentation that can't be achieved with just two lumps of underseasoned meat. The duchess potato towers looked beautiful but were dry to the point of crumbling when you put your fork in it. The carrots and asparagus were nice. They didn't offer us anything anniversary-wise but, with the mediocrity of everything else, we decided to get dessert elsewhere anyway. The scariest thing about the visit, and it's not even food related, was the valet parking. We don't usually valet here because we like to go early, park, stroll around and make our way over. It was too hot to stroll, so we went straight to valet. The young man asked if we would be paying cash or card. He said cash was easier, and he would park our car right out front. He gave us no ticket, said it wasn't necessary. He kept the keys, as is the normal way. I felt uneasy about it because I thought someone could easily tow the car without any proof that we've paid and have a claim ticket. When we finished and went to retrieve the car, the sign directly on the valet stand said cash payment is not accepted. We never noticed because he approached us at the curb. Luckily, the car was still there! Overall, we would go back, especially for wagyu, which we've had there before and truly sets them apart. For everything else, it's OK, but service and ambiance are far better than their dining options. They'll make you feel special even when everything else makes you feel meh.

Food: 5* Service; 5* Ambience: 4* Prices: 2* During a conference I had the opportunity to eat here. I had the petite filet, scallops, decadent chocolate cakes, and sweet jalapeño butter. The filet was perfect, tender, juicy, well seasoned and the perfect temperature. The scallops were juicy, ample, and tasty. I understand they fly them in every other day from Nova Scotia. Delirious. Ambience is old world steak house. It was nice but a little dated. You get what you pay for here. So, if you want to splurge, you won't be sorry.

31 Dec 2023 We were staying downtown for New Year's, so we decided to do dinner right. You can't go wrong with Bohannon's. Good steaks and seafood all around. Started with the escargot. This was the one dish that needed more flavor. The cream sauce was good, just a bit lacking. The bread served with it was great. I went for the wedge salad and the husband had the Caesar. Entrees were the 7 oz filet and the macadamia nut crusted fish. With a side of au gratin potatoes. All were so good, especially the potatoes. Our server Amaro, was stellar. Always there when needed. He would gently suggest the wagyu beef, dessert and drinks. Not a hard sell guy. Much appreciated. Go there.

Went here for my anniversary and they really were great. From the delicious and cheesy soup to our wonderful fish and my hubby got wagu steak. All was amazing. And the anniversary plated dessert was divine.

Stopped in for drinks after a theater show, and as always, the experience was fantastic. The drinks at the bar area are fabulous, and the food here never disappoints. However, the kitchen closes quite early; we were there at nine and couldn't order any appetizers. It would be nice if they offered a late-night snack option. Still, a great spot for a classy evening out!

I didn't know what to expect, I've mainly been to steak houses in Chicagoland. But Bohanan's does have that high end steak house feel, like you're in downtown Chicago. There's a more casual bahr area on the first floor and we spent almost all of our time in the dining area, which is on the 2nd floor. Our server was very professional in explaining all of the dishes and I opted for the mesquite grilled fish, it's topped with a scallop and crab meat - that was excellent. The asparagus, bread and buttah, white vino, steak, everything was top notch and cooked to perfection. Don't skip out on the bananas foster presentation - it's prepared table side like saganaki. The creme brulee is also a must try with a caramelized topping. When we got there, it was empty and by the time we left, the entire dining area was completely filled. So please do make your reservations. This is a great part of downtown San Antonio, you could easily walk from the Alamo and have dinner here.

Love the place and ambiance and service. Food was good but half of the menu was not available. No filets. No ribeyes. Ran out of black label and only 2 deserts available. How can they call themselves a steakhouse and not have many cuts of meat available at the moment?!?!

All was great. Had a relaxing great evening. Stayed downstairs at the bar. Ordered off of the bar menu. Selections were excelent. Appetizer, main and desert were great. Satifying and delicoous. Our waitress was excellent. Made excellent recomendations. Highly satisfied. Piano singer ane player kept the mood alive. This place never fails us.

Best steakhouse. Felt like a Chicago steak house and turns out they have the top 3% of prime. Had the filet w foie gras. Large party loved every bite. Started w the special seafood app served ea person. Very attentive servers too like the old days of fine dining

I want to personally thank the front of the house staff - Memo, Michelle, Brett, and the sommelier, Jesus - for doing their utmost to ensure we had a delightful experience at Bohanan's (despite a couple of hiccups at the start). Our meal was fantastic from the appetizer through dessert - so a thank you to the stellar kitchen staff too! We thoroughly enjoyed the evening, it was a fun and memorable night. Thank you and Happy Holidays to the dedicated staff at Bohanan's.

This restaurant is perfection!!! My new favorite restaurant downtown hands down!! From the moment my party and ai stepped out of the vehicle, onto the curb, we were meant with hospitality and the evening just kept getting better. Yes, this establishment had a high price tag associated but I believe you 100% get what you pay for here. The upstairs is for groups and the downstairs is for singles and doubles and had a more social-networking vibe. Steaks cooked to perfection, sides were awesome, recommendations were great and enhanced the experience, desserts really capped the meal well. We were celebrating our anniversary and believe we found our new annual go-to.

Came for a lovely anniversary dinner, environment was welcoming drinks were amazing, the service was impeccable, the food was delicious and very reasonably priced. I cannot wait to come back next anniversary

Great restaurant with excellent service. Extremely detailed staff. Food was perfect. Quiet and elegant restaurant.

I was there a few days ago to grab a drink and a quick bite before a show. The bar is open seating so we had no issue finding a table. There was no space at the bar but they have a cute sitting section inside and a beautiful courtyard. We opted to sit outside and it was quite lovely. Service was quick and friendly, our drinks were fabulous and the charcuterie board was exactly what we needed. Overall it was a great experience, and I will definitely go back to try more menu items.

I want to split this review into two pieces. That's because the experience had a Jekyll and Hyde aspect to it. Service: The service was not acceptable. In summary, the server ruined what was good food. The server was brusque and impatient with questions. He was visibly disappointed when we declined to buy alcohol. After that the service declined even further. We confirmed on arrival this was a birthday meal. The tables on either side of us celebrated birthdays with a candle in the dessert, but we did not receive any recognition. The restaurant does not have a dessert menu. The server recites it. When we made our choices the server came back to tell us that that one was not available. Why tell us it available when it is not? My impression is Bohanan's is attempting fine dining and falling down on the basics. There is nowhere to put coats so you have to fold them over your chair. The server will help you with your chair but does not unfold your napkin. However, when someone goes to the bathroom, a separate server comes over to fold the napkin. Food: The food is an 8 out of 10. We had the escargot and the caprese to start. The escargot was among the best I have had. For our mains we had the chateaubriand and the Alaskan salmon. The steak was on the small size and the crust was a little over done but acceptable. The meat was cooked well and overall an 7/10 steak. The salmon was nothing special but acceptable. As an accompaniment, we have the foie gras. This was the standout of the meal. It is the full liver, cooked to the perfection. I have only had it cooked like that in France and this was a similar experience. The steak fries were very good too. For dessert we had the creme brulee which was good and served in a deeper than usual dish which was interesting. We were recommended Bohanan's by the manager of the restaurant in our hotel. He was adamant that it is the go-to place for local San Antonians. I believe him and I'm sure there is probably a different in service between what is offer locals and visitors. We will not be going back.

Such a wonderful evening to celebrate our anniversary together. Thank you Bohanan's, sincerely for making our dining experience so memorable. We will absolutely be back! The cuisine top tier, however it was the world class dining experience that truly caught our attention from moment walked in to the moment we retrieved our vehicle from the valet. All around we were continually congratulated on our anniversary and greeted by name. It's no surprise this is a staple in the San Antonio fine dining scene.

Bohanons is our go-to place for getting a bite before attending a concert across the street at the Majestic Theater. Valet parking at the restaurant keeps you close and prevents a long walk from parking. We were warmly greeted at the host stand and even got a shout out from one of the bartenders as we entered the restaurant. Our waiter was quick to greet us and get our drink order. We chose to eat dinner downstairs in the bar. It has a more limited menu: however, it suits our needs. We both chose the filets. They were well seasoned and perfectly cooked to our liking. The white truffle oil French fries were crispy in the outside, and soft on the inside. A jazz band plays on the weekend, adding to the Old World charm of the restaurant. Bohanons is also a must-try for out-of-town guests to give them a taste of the delicious beef that Texas is known for.

We have been here twice, 10 years apart, and it was just as amazing tonight as is was back then. So worth the time and money.

The food was really good especially the steak considering its a steak restaurant and they are just so kind they even take special orders

Excellent bar area!! Nice selection of small eats and an excellent bartender!! Highly recommend for an early evening stop for your favorite cocktail!!

I have been to Bohanan's several times in the past and since I was in town I thought would go back again and bring a couple of buddies who have not been. Drinks are a bit pricey, but started off with that. I was a little disappointed that they forgot our appetizers, i was looking forward to the candied bacon! Food was great as always. We all had ribeyes and they were cooked just right, medium rare! It's been almost 3 years since the last time I was here and I will say the price of everything has gone up considerably, like everything else I guess. Overall a very good experience, I highly recommend.

This is definitely not our first time here, definitely the worst time we have ever been. We were barely greeted at our table, never told the specials, and it took a good while for drinks to be delivered after ordering. When entrees were delivered they had to ask how steak was cut or divided even after that was requested at ordering, also it was not sliced on the wood block like all tables around us. The steak was extremely charred when it was requested medium well. Also had to ask for a ToGo plate, that should never happen, and we barely saw our main waiter Jesus. I did voice my opinion to him at no cost, but still for our 15 year Anniversary, after spending most anniversary years here on top of company functions here, this was HUGE let down!

We are still talking about the food here several days later. We had so much food and the staff and attention to detail was amazing. The location was very unique in style. We will be back again. I feel like we had everything on the menu. The bacon appetizer was to die for. We had a salad, steak, red snapper, lobster creamed corn, potatoes au gratin. We had a strawberry flambé for dessert and an evening coffee. We just kept ordering everything off the menu. It was the best meal we have ever had and definitely worth the price tag

The atmosphere was nice, all staff were very polite. The wagyu filet mignon was great, as was the Potatoes Au Gratin, Mushrooms sautéed in Red Wine reduction, the red wine and Clean Sneak drink. The Asparagus with Hollandaise was bland and disappointing and the New York strip wagyu was pure fat - certainly not what I'm used to in a steak, so was disappointed - wish it was explained that it is fatty throughout. I kept cutting for meat and kept tasting fat. The ribeye wagyu is even more fatty. If you're a meat fat lover, you'll be happy. If you're not - now you know. Order the filet mignon.

This is one of the most elegant restaurants in San Antonio. We had dinner before going to the theater this past weekend. It's our third or fourth visit to this restaurant and it has never disappointed. The staff are very professional yet friendly. The wine list is more than comprehensive With great selections from around the world. The food is presented beautifully and the flavors immaculate. My wife and I shared the Chateaubriand. It was cooked perfectly. Definitely recommend Bohanan's for a date night or any special occasion!

My husband took me here for a fancy birthday dinner. The only reason I cannot give it 5 stars is because we waited a while for our drinks and food and in my personal opinion if you're paying these kind of prices my expectations of service are very high. Our reservation was for 8pm we were escorted upstairs and seated promptly everyone was very polite and helpful so far. Once we were seated and given a water and a drink menu it took a while for our server to come and take our cocktail order around 10 mins. Then we waited a while, around 20 minutes to receive it. So in the 30 mins we waited for drinks we had time to look over the menu. My husband loves French onion soup so he got that to start and when it eventually came he said it was fantastic. I had a Caesar salad which was great. We decided for our main to order the chateaubriand for 2, it came with both Hollandaise and Béarnaise Sauces, Duchesse Potatoes, Jumbo Asparagus and Baby Carrots. It was delicious and I loved how they sliced it table side very fun to watch the presentation. So the food is top notch, the ambience and interior is very nice antique style furniture but tasteful. Our server was knowledgable and nice but the wait times just took the wow out of the experience.

Was able to easily make a reservation online a week ahead of time for Friday night dinner. The Houston garage is the closest parking lot. However, I believe they offer valet as well. I was a bit worried we would be shunned to a corner and not treated with the same 5-star service I had read about online when they realized it was only me and my 2 year old son. I wouldn't normally recommend bringing a young child here for the sake of everyone else but I've taken our son out since he was small to nice restaurants and he's always done well, plus it was right across the street from the theater we were seeing a show at that night and a minute walk from the parking garage and since it was just the two of us at night downtown I wanted to eliminate excessive walking for our safety. Everyone from staff to guests complimented my son on how well behaved he was so I felt okay with our decision to dine in when we left. But keep in mind it's a very nice restaurant where people pay good money for a nice meal out so be courteous to others when making that decision. From the moment we stepped in until the time we left we felt like VIP. Everyone greeted us warmly, our glasses stayed filled, our table was attended to frequently, overall the service was impeccable as was the food. Before we made it to our table someone was already bringing a high chair. We split the 12 oz strip and a side of garlic mashed potatoes. They don't advertise a kids menu, but I was told when ordering they did have a kids sized portion of steak or chicken should we choose to go that route. The steak was a perfect med-rare with great flavor, served on a warm plate so it stayed warm throughout eating it without overcooking The steak. The potatoes were more than plenty to split between two people. The rolls brought out before hand were fluffy and the crostini with the candied jalapeno topping was quite good. I was asked to choose my weapon of choice (knife) to devour my steak with. And before it came out they brought a dainty glass with lemon sorbet to cleanse the palate between courses. They even brought my toddler one in a small ramekin. Our server was kind enough to let us know that if we were unable to finish our food and wanted to take it to go that they would box it for us and hold onto it until we got back from our show at the theater across the way. We opted to try a dessert before we left since we had time to spare. We went with a yummy brownie plate served with a spicy ice cream. They were kind enough to offer Belgium Chocolate as an alternative for my son which was appreciated because the other one while delicious was very spicy. Our waiter seemed to take a genuine interest in asking us what special occasion we were celebrating and our plans for the evening. (Mother's day date and the children's ballet) It made us feel special like they actually cared that we chose Bohanan's to dine at. Will be booking a table to bring my husband with us next time for a father's day celebration.

The food was wonderful. I ordered a rare steak it came out perfect and also had lobster cream corn. Then for dessert for my birthday we had banana foster. This husband got me a shot tequila it cost $35 but it goes down real smooth

We came here on 23Sep2023 while visiting San Antonio. Our dining experience was exceptional/outstanding ! From the time you enter the restaurant, to when they escort you to take the elevator to the 2nd floor, to when the elevators open and they escort you to your table we're all impressive. Our server James was also outstanding and one of, if not the best servers, we've had. The server assistant (I think his name is Jose, not sure) was likewise attentive and provided great service. Crab cake appetizer was one of the best we've had - not dry and crab taste not too strong; we requested that the scallop appetizer be converted to an entree and they did - scallops were cooked right. The Wagyu A-5 (8 oz for $175) was cooked perfectly, very tender, juicy and melts in the mouth - it is authentic and the best wagyu quality we've tasted. Portobello mushroom side in red wine and rich demi-glace was delicious. For dessert, we got the bananas foster flambé and it was amazing. Reservations definitely recommended if you want to make sure you're able to seat in the dining area on the 2nd floor. Upscale restaurant and everything is priced reasonably with exceptional service. If we visit San Antonio again, we will definitely return here.

Excellent night out from start to finish. Staff were extremely welcoming and we were celebrating our anniversary. Everyone was congratulating us and saved us a great booth for our dinner. We ordered the escargot and it was great. Then came the French onion soup which was one of the best we had. We ordered the chateaubrandie for 2. We asked to have it cooked medium and the waiter cut it down the middle and showed us it was perfectly cooked to medium pink. The cream of spinach was also very tasty and cooked perfectly. Our waiter Marcus came by often to check on things. Could not ask for better service or food.

Bohanan's was recommended to our group so we tried it out. There were mixed reviews. Initially the service was excellent & we had 4 different staff checking in to sing the restaurants praises. Then the service all but stopped after we didn't order cocktails & it took close to 90 minutes after ordering to get entrees for 4 people. In discussing the service we came to the conclusion that we were being profiled up front to determine how much we would spend and when a decision was made that we weren't going to be heavy spenders the service almost came to a stop. Appetizers were very good. 3 of the 4 were complimentary of the food. After an hours wait (when the restaurant was starting to clear out & we had a 7:30 reservation) the entrees finally came. Again, 3 of the 4 were complimentary (this time I was the one who wasn't). My NY strip was properly seared but was rare (vs medium-rare as ordered), wasn't seasoned and was a poor grade. At $60+ for just a steak (sides are a la carte) getting a cheap grade steak is unacceptable. I've had better paying $20 (with sides) at chain steakhouses. 2 people who got the filet did say theirs were fantastic though. The other person getting the NY strip said it was "fairly good". All of us do a lot of traveling & have tons of experiences in different levels of restaurants. The ambiance was great & things started off great overall but the quality of the food not being consistent and the service slowdown were big turn offs for a high end restaurant. If you are celebrating an event with a big group and buying several rounds of cocktails you will probably get sustained high levels of service but for business travelers just trying to find a good place for dinner, I'll go elsewhere on my next San Antonio trip.

My wife and I went here with another couple, very special friends to celebrate their Wedding Anniversary on 21 Sept 2024. This was not the first and not the last time we visit. We have been coming here for years and NEVER dis-appointed. ALWAYS the Best Experience. Great service and Great food! Steak and Seafood were the BEST along with ALL the sides! Amado was our server, and he was so attentive and for dessert, he made the BEST Bananas Foster at our table. He was so friendly and welcoming, always smiling and made the whole evening SPECIAL. On top of how wonderful Amado was, Cesar was super nice every time he came to our table to fill our glasses and if there were any crumbs laying on our table, Ana was right there, clearing them off. Every visit, Always WOW'D! If you want to make someone feel SPECIAL, no matter the occasion, or "just because", make a reservation! Very HIGH SCALE and worth every penny. HATS off to the Chef!

Had a great experience. Getting to the restaurant on the second floor seemed like it may have been confusing but the helpful staff guided us comfortably. We started with the crab cakes and ceasar salad accompanied by complimentary house jalapeño cheese dip with toasts and fresh bread. For entrees we ordered the sea bass and the red fish royale with scallops and crab. For sides we decided on goat cheese mashed potatoes, lobster cream corn and mac and cheese. Everything was amazing... Our server made our evening perfect and made our first experience eager for the next. We will definitely be coming back our next time in san antonio. After reading reviews on all seafood/fine dining, this stop is a must.

A well timed and attentive experience that's combined with food that hits the bullseye, I have been to Bohanan's at least 10 times, some only at the bar, some on a budget in mind, and some going all out for A5, foie gras, bananas foster, wine, and every side you can imagine. It's apparent that Mr. Bohanan's vision for his restaurant isn't just great food, but service that is a cut above the rest. You are catered to and respected regardless of the money you spend here. 5 stars is fair, and to be absolutely fair, if you leave a 4 star review I can respect that, but a 3 star or lower probably tells me you had an issue and chose not to bring it up to the establishment which I'm sure they would be more than happy to fix, or possibly even over-pretentious. This place is expensive, but absolutely worth it. All the servers, assistants, bartenders, sommeliers, managers, etc. Are professionals and are dedicated to their service. Tip them well.

This was the most efficient entry into a restaurant. I wish I could articulate the way they ushered us to our upstairs table with ease. I thought I was the president for a moment. I have never experienced service like this in my entire foodie career. This was the best and most attractive service. We had about 4 servers assigned to our 10 person table and they did not miss a beat. The food was epic. The best tasting most flavorful food I have had. I have been around the world and this place is top 5 easy. It's not one of the places with gimmick gold wrapped steaks. They actually care about the taste of the meal.

The food was very good & service was professional. All 5 of us were very pleased. Best meal i had all week in Texas

After a fellow foodie recommended the Bohanan we decided to give them a try and we are ever so glad we did! The service, the food, the atmosphere, the wine selection and their pricing were all on point and what one would expect from a 5 star steak house. We loved our attendant who was knowledgeable, attentive without being bothersome, friendly yet professional and overall made us feel like we were his only guest, we were not. The Bohanan has become our go to restaurant in San Antonio which says a lot given San Antonio has so much to offer when it comes to dining. Well done Bohanan's very well done.

My experience at Bohanan's was great. They're a bit of a walk from the Riverwalk, so I got some good exercise along the way. The host ordered some appetizers for us to share, and everything was perfectly cooked and presented beautifully. I ordered the lamb chops and they were amazing. The atmosphere was very elegant. I loved the vintage decor, beautiful chandeliers, and framed artwork. The bathroom was very clean. Service was great. My only (minor) complaint is that service was extremely slow... it took a long time to get our orders in even though we were there before the dinner rush. I had to rush out for a work meeting and didn't get to order dessert.
