    Let me begin by saying that we have been At Savor at least 5 times before. Obviously, we would not continue to go if we had bad experiences there. Quite the opposite the students and also the professors are extremely helpful. They always know the ingredients, how things were prepared, why they made the choices they made and so forth. The staff is more helpful than any staff at any other restaurant I have ever been at. The food is very creative and the portions are the right sizes. I find that many restaurants try to make it up for average quality with and excessive heaping plate full of food. Now clearly you do not get all this inexpensively. It is not unusual to $100 per person, 4 courses and paired wines.

    The food and service is always spot on, especially at the end of the semesters, but even early on it is often better than many of the better restaurants in San Antonio. I can't wait to go back!!

    What a sensational meal. We had the four course meal with the elevated wine pairing. Good decision. The food and wine pairings were superb making for a most delicious dinner. Highlights were the smoked salmon & duck carpaccio. Our server was a 50 year old culinary student about to graduate. She was a savvy server, attentive and engaging. Would 100% percent recommend dining at Savor!
