I dont know, I guess I was just expecting more. It was nothing to write home about. First, they could not find my reservation. It was our anniversary and I stated that when I made it. To their credit they sat us in about 5 min. The service was just ok. It better be good for the price you pay though. But it wasnt outstanding. We ordered drinks and appitizers, they came, we are STILL holding our menus! The table they sat us at was tiny and for 2, which is fine, but the menus covered the table! So we have our salads in front of us, holding our menus, trying to eat. FINALLY the waitress came to take the menus and take our dinner order! She came by a couple of times and our empty cocktail glasses were present but never asked if we wanted another, nor took the empty glasses away! I ordered the Big Tails Little Tails. It was way too salty! The risotto was overcooked and it was like they just added red chile pepper in everything and called it southwestern. My husband ordered the crab enchiladas, that again had too much red chilie pepper and was too salty. And I like salt! It was LOUD...not very romantic, but thats ok cause that is not the waitstaff's or cook's fault. Like I said, it was mediocore. There are soooo many other places to eat than this place.

Pros: Maybe the guacamole...

Cons: too loud, too salty, bad service

This is an all around great spot. Everything on the menu is excellent. I recommend the blackened prime rib. Nice wine list with reasonable prices. They have a wine bar across the street you can have drinks at while you wait. Service is good also.

Pros: Appetizers, setting, service

Cons: None

This place is amazing. I've lived in san antonio for 2 years and cannot tell you how many times i've been here. We take all our visitors there. Better for lunch than dinner, Great salads at lunch and a killer rib eye sandwich too. The guacamole is infamous and you must must must try a prickly pear margarita. The only reason we prefer lunch to dinner is it does get really loud and crowded at night and we prefer the lunch menu. However the blackened prime rib on the dinner menu is one of a kind. Oh, and for sweet tooths, the brownie dessert is heaven. ;)

Pros: Great food-everytime, tasty cocktails

Cons: can get crowded, if eating on river people will practically be sitting on your lap

My Boyfriend took me to Boudros for a romantic dinner and the food was absolutly wonderful, and the guacomole made at your table was awesome. My boyfriend gave the waiter my engagement ring and he put it in the top of the ice cream on our dessert. It was wonderful. Such a romantic place to go on a date and an even better place to be proposed to. We have now been married for 4 months.

Pros: Quiet, Romantic, Great Service

Me boyfriend and I went to Boudro's on our trip to San Antonio. We're young college students and don't have much money but we had heard great things about this place so we decided to go and try an appetizer. We got the wild mushrooms with goat cheese over polenta...pure heaven! We ordered some salsa and chips which were wonderful. Actually the best salsa we'd ever had. And my mojito was PERFECT. We sat outside on the Riverwalk, relaxed, and really enjoyed ourselves. We will come back here everytime we are in San Antonio!

Pros: mojito, food, atmosphere

Cons: pricey

Year's ago I had a favorite italian restaurant that made the caesar salad to order at your table...Boudro's is my first experience with the waiter making the guacamole dip at my table...and it was fantasic. Loved the Texas Quail and an assortmrent of the starters. Expensive...sure. Worth it...you bet. Great place to hit in late afternoon for appetizers and drinks. [I was not a big fan of the dinner entrees]. Reservation for dinner is a must. You get seated promptly if you are on the list. A happening place.

Pros: Great appetizers, Margarita's, Location

Cons: Loud

We enjoyed everything about this place. The service was outstanding: attentive without being cloying. Appetizers, salads, entrees and desserts were all delicious. A bit expensive but definitely worth the price.
