Located at the "Gateway to Southtown," the Historic and Majestic Firehouse #7 is home to Battalion. After a nearly two year renovation, "The Rock" has been restored as the crown jewel of Southtown. Overlooking the spectacular downtown cityscape and the famous Tower of Americas, Battalion's contemporary design merges perfectly alongside the historic building's strong, yet weathered 1920's craftsmanship. Chef Davis has created an extensive menu of fresh pastas, char-grilled meats, stunning vegetable dishes and Italian classics. Complimenting the menu is a comprehensive wine list and a refreshingly original cocktail program.

Best Quality Daughter houses a vibrant, chic décor and new, unique Asian-American menu. In 2018, chef Jennifer Hwa Dobbertin, wanting to address the sparsity of Asian-American female chefs in South Texas, developed a new concept through a series of pop-up dinners called Best Quality Daughter with fellow chef Anne Ng and artist Jennifer Ling Datchuk. Today Best Quality Daughter is located in the historic Mueller House at the Pearl Brewery. Curated by chef Jennifer Hwa Dobbertin, Best Quality Daughter's menu takes inspiration from her travels and the comfort food of her youth as a second-generation Chinese-American.

    I retired from two careers in food Service (military & local school district) so I believe I can fairly critique our Thanksgiving dining experience with Zocca Cuisine d'Italia. While the Westin's hotel setting was absolutely beautiful and ALL their personnel from our valet parking to the check-in personnel to our waiter (Juan Carlos) were terrific, I must say that the food would get a B-minus. Sorry.

    What an amazing Thanksgiving feast! We thought we’d be choosing 1 starter, 1 entree & 2 sides from the Ambler Thanksgiving menu, but know, we were served EVERYTHING ON THE MENU. Our server, Francisco, was extremely attentive & obviously a very professional experienced waiter, we wanted for nothing and thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated the great food, ambiance & service!

    Beautiful view of the river and nice live country music at the Saturday night live fire dinner show. Food just kept coming out😊 and everything was delivered hot and fresh including the corn, macaroni and potatoes and even chocolate cake and ice cream for dessert. I had the steak 🥩 and it was cooked perfectly as i ordered it. My girl had the red snapper with mango salsa and she loved it
