Valeria

My husband and I celebrated our very first wedding anniversary this past weekend…and decided to do so in Boerne. And after a lot of research, we chose Valeria as the restaurant to celebrate our first wedding anniversary dinner. There are several nice places in Boerne, but we chose Valeria because they offered oysters, which we absolutely love. We were so excited about this dinner, and reserved our table. We even put in comments that it was our anniversary. Upon arrival, no one was at the front. After a few minutes of waiting, a young guy came up and said “Do you have a reservation?” We told him we did, and told him our names. He seated us, but said nothing more. After seating us, he got our silverware and brought us water. We told him it was our first wedding anniversary, and he didn’t say anything for a minute…and then finally said “Oh. That’s cool.” And then disappeared. A young girl came a few minutes later to take our drink orders. Nobody ever introduced themselves to us, or seemed to care that we’d chosen this spot to celebrate this big milestone in our lives. It was very disappointing. We ordered a dozen raw oysters, and the girl informed us that she didn’t believe there was enough to make a dozen. She came back awhile later to give us our drinks and let us know they did have oysters. The oysters were NOT worth the $42 we paid. They were the tiniest oysters we’ve ever had, and were only given a little bowl of cocktail sauce…and limes?? Usually, they come with lemon, horseradish, cocktail, and crackers. We order them everywhere. This was the first time they came with just cocktail sauce. We asked about other condiments or crackers - and they didn’t offer it. We used our tiny fork to scrape off the teeniest bits of oyster bites from these little oyster shells. It was at this point that we decided to leave. In the meantime - we had looked at the menu to decide on a main course. We’d looked at their menu online multiple times, and were surprised to see that the menu at the location was very different. It had far less options, and nothing stood out to us. Between the service, the disappointment of the oysters, the fact that no one seemed to care that we were celebrating an important day, and the lack of options on the menu versus what we’d seen online - we decided to leave. We paid for our drinks, oysters, and tip…and left. The ONLY reason this place gets two stars on atmosphere is because they had a wonderful live singer there who we LOVED. He was the best part of the whole experience! We won’t be back. It was just an overall disappointment and such a disheartening experience.

Enjoyed a delicious date night dinner here with my husband last week. We started with the caprese salad and some bread which was delicious. I had the chicken parmigiana which was crispy and the sauce had great flavor. My husband had the veal marsala which was amazing as well. We finished with a shared tiramisu which was so yummy!

We had a reservation for 6pm, arrived right on time, and then waited almost 25 minutes before being visited by a waitress. Moreover the group of four next to us, we overheard also had 6pm reservations, but they arrived 15 minutes later. And because, as it was learned, they're regulars, they were waited on and served immediately, well before a waitress even acknowledged us. The experience was extraordinarily uninviting, if not just demeaning. We won't be back. The food was average and the prices didn't make sense for the quality of food or service. We'll be going back to the Creek where they get it all just right.

We enjoyed the appetizers, wine, and pasta. The cuisine tasted very fresh and authentic to Italy. We didn’t try the pizza but hope to the next time we visit.

I had the spicy linguini which was terrific even though it was spaghetti but the seafood in it was great especially the calamari. It was definitely expensive at $48 considering it doesn't come with bread, soup or salad. I don't think anyone will be disappointed with the flavors but it would have been nice to get sourdough, lol.

Solid food but small portions. Our waiter was nice however a long wait for our food. We ordered the escargot which was good but small and a long wait made it feel worse. The live singer was a nice touch and his voice really fit the vibe of the place. It was 65$ for two people without tip.

Giving it four stars because service was really slow! It took forever for us to get our meals and there were only 2 other people at the restaurant. But the food was really tasteful, with the wait! We liked it a lot! My husband had Italian crepe which he said was good and I had chicken parmesan which was really really good!!!

The entrees we ordered had missing items. The server said they were out of certain ingredients. It was extremely cold in the restaurant. The server said that the heater wasn't working. Our bottle of sparkling wine was served at room temperature, and we had to put ice in our wine glasses to chill it.
