- CChaofanRaleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill •3 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWe ordered escargots for appetizer, and a trout and a schnitzel for main courses. Escargot is awesome! Trout is great, albeit a little salty. Schnitzel is crispy, and the portion is huge. Overall the food quality is very good, and we enjoyed our dinner.More infoMaverick Texas BrasseriePrice: Expensive• Contemporary French• Downtown•4.5

We each ordered a different meal and they were all delicious.  And you can’t go wrong with the location, the Emma Hotel on the Riverwalk! Thank you for a memorable afternoon.More infoSupperPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Downtown•4.6
- MMarcoSan Antonio •1 review5.0Dined on Jan 1, 2025The Ambler Restaurant offers a beautifully inviting atmosphere that feels both comfortable and sophisticated. The staff is exceptionally polite and professional, making for a delightful dining experience. Our waiter frequently checked in on us to ensure everything was to our liking. When I mentioned that I would prefer my dish to be heated a bit more, she promptly and cheerfully addressed my request. To my surprise, the chef personally came out to apologize and graciously offered a complimentary dessert, along with a freshly prepared plate that was absolutely perfect. I left feeling thoroughly satisfied and would give this place all the stars if I could! The service was excellent and the ambiance elegant. I will definitely be returning!More infoAmbler - Texas Kitchen + CocktailsPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Downtown•4.2
- GGeraldSan Antonio •11 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 1, 2025We ate at Fogo de Chão on New Year’s Day to start our 2025 and it was very good. The restaurant was busier than I expected but the three of us had a reservation so not to worry. The staff brought my 101 year old mother the salt-free lamb chops that she always requests which were a bit overcooked but still tender and delicious. My friend and I enjoyed the other various cuts of beef, and we all enjoyed the salad bar and the sides… especially the little cheese breads. We’ve tried the cheese breads at other Brazilian restaurants but the best ones are at Fogo. The only negative was the very last cut of meat for me which was a chunk of picaña instead of a slice. It was very fibrous and hard to cut but I suppose that was because it was a remaining portion of the meat instead of a sliced piece. Other than that, we had a very good experience once again and we will be back! P.S. I forgot to take any pictures this time because I was enjoying the food a little too much.More infoFogo de Chao - San AntonioPrice: Moderate• Brazilian• Downtown•4.3
