Brenner's on the River Walk

First time dining at a Brenner’s and we are very happy we did! Great place. Nice interior. Great wait staff. Our server, Vincenzo, was very well informed about the menu choices and did an excellent job waiting on our table of two. They had live entertainment: a female singer who also played the piano, and she had a wonderful voice and a good song selection. The food was deliciious. Lobster bisque was the best we have ever had. The shrimp in the Shirmp Cocktail were huge! The New York Strip Steak was perfectly done, tender and tasty. The family side dish of Au Gratin Potatoes had a wonderful cheesy flavor and it was a generous serving for two. We also ordered the Brenner’s Bread Basket and loved the multiple types of bread and two types of butter. We did not have any room for dessert, but their choices sounded delicious.

Early bird walk in. We found this to be an upscale establishment with fine wines available. Three choices for dining: The upstairs formal dining room (where we dined) The upstairs covered balcony. The downstairs lounge and outdoor patio on the riverwalk. (A lovely and talented young lady was singing beautifully.) Matt was our über capable server who provided us with good choices and prompt service. We began with lobster/crab rolls. Then we had an 8 and 10 ounce filet which were nothing but the best trim and taste, cooked to medium rare perfection. We added roasted Brussel Sprouts to complete the meal. My DW finished up with the bread pudding where I pilfered her Häagen Dazs old folks vanilla bean.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had an absolutely outstanding experience at Brenner’s Steakhouse on the Riverwalk thanks to Matt C. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. He listened carefully and ordered my steak exactly the way I wanted it—flawless execution. On top of that, he was pleasant, courteous, and genuinely helpful throughout the entire evening. Matt turned a great dinner into an unforgettable five-star experience. Couldn’t have asked for better service!

It’s a steakhouse but I ordered the quail, red snapper and the salmon and it was a miss. Maybe I should stick to steaks at steakhouses. The service was a complete mess, the waiter was very busy, forgot to put in my side order and took forever to bring us the check. They did comp the side order because it arrived after I finished my meal. Their location on the riverwalk is very nice.

Brenner’s Riverwalk in San Antonio was the perfect spot for our triple date night! The ambiance was elegant and cozy, the food absolutely delicious, and the cocktails hit the spot. Amazing service and riverside views made it a night to remember. We’ll definitely be coming back!

The dining experience was great start to finish. We were there to celebrate a birthday, and the table next to us had their proposal. The waiter was very attentive, often checking in. He also explained the specials and items on the menu, providing us some recommendations. The food was wonderful and definitely did not disappoint! My only comment would be maybe to replace the Cranberry/Walnut bread with a different bread but obviously that's just personal preference. The atmosphere was great. We got a table overlooking the restaurant and the piano. The pianist sang songs from the 90s and 00s with her own little twist.

Brennan’s – A Feast Worth Remembering Our work group descended upon Brennan’s to the welcoming sight of golden butter and warm bread baskets — pretzel rolls, tangy sourdoughs, and whisper-thin flatbreads, each bite a promise of the indulgence to come. We began with a seafood tower so regal it deserved its own spotlight, followed by a medley of small plates: grilled beef tacos, smoky bacon delights, and more. Yet the centerpiece of the evening was the Tomahawk — medium rare, carved with reverence, and shared between myself and a fellow devotee of fine beef. Elsewhere at the table, ribeyes, filets, and a French chicken breast cloaked in cream sauce held their own alongside crab cakes, tacos, and a tender bass. Sides were no mere afterthought: scalloped potatoes silky and indulgent, broccoli and spinach perfectly bright, and French fries with that addictive “just one more” quality. Every bite felt touched by the culinary gods themselves — and coming from a chef, that is no small compliment. Our server kept us entertained with conversation, Drinks and fresh smallwares throughout the night. Unfortunately we were to full for desert.

First time here just ordered shrimp and a steak was really flavorful and juicy. Overall great experience, professional, & friendly staff. Spent around $126.00 for one person plus I gave 20% tip $26. I had 1 appetizer, 2 drinks, & 1 strip steak. Good view on the riverwalk. I think my servers name was Connor great service!
