    Not the Paesanos I’ve always loved. The noise was loud from surrounding venues or bars. The food was mediocre. The waiter was subpar. It wasn’t the romantic atmosphere I remember and I was severely disappointed. I love their dessert and we didn’t even order dessert. Disappointing.

    Always love dining here when in San Antonio. It’s a must every trip. Parmesan crusted chicken was amazing. Crab stuffed salmon was also good, although not much crab. Lump crabmeat on top would have been better. Great service and ambience, although we prefer to sit outside usually, but it wasn’t available.

    Our server was very friendly and attentive. The food and drinks were delicious. We enjoyed sitting on the patio where we could enjoy the lovely weather and view of the Riverwalk. There is a railing that keeps customers out of the foot traffic of the Riverwalk.

    We went to Paesanos before attending an event at the Majestic. We made reservations for two hours beforehand. We were greeted and seated promptly. Our order was taken quickly. Nonetheless, it was 45 minutes to an hour before the entrees arrived. Some in our party had salads brought earlier. Bread was provided. As we were with friends we were well entertained, however, I began to get nervous about the time element. We were not truly kept abreast of the delay. The food was excellent as always. Perhaps the wait staff was understaffed as there was less attention than I thought appropriate. My husband had to get up and get someone to bring a reorder of his coffee even though the waiter had taken his cup to refill. Nonetheless if you have plenty of time and are enjoying visiting with friends, the food is outstanding.
