User Rating: 1 out of 5 starsDon't waste your money. Even though we had reservation and restaurant was empty on a Saturday (should have been our first clue) the maitreâd sat us in a horrible place telling us that they would be filling up. It was 8:15 and no dinner customers came in after us. He failed to give us menus which we waited for, for 15 minutes. We order a nice bottle of wine and were brought the incorrect vintage waited another 10 minutes then offer a substitute year by a friendly albeit inexperienced wine steward. Food was adequate but evening ruined our tab for two was over $400 and still service levels were barely one star from the host. Easy to see why this place was empty and our meal at Biga on the Banks on Friday was half the cost and twice the value. Owners better take a close look at operations here. Certainly would never consider for one of our groups or special occasion. What a shame a pretty little place that stakes its reputation on local ownership but no owners on site and when I called days later no one at two location would even say who owns the restaurant. Not sure what staff is hiding but certainly there isn't any pride in ownership when three different staff members can't give out the just the names of the owners. Maybe they don't know how the paid help is treatingthe guests and staff wants to keep it that way.

Great view from the patio, but the food was average and the service left a lot to be desired, especially considering the prices. I've eaten at much better restaurants in San Antonio. We won't be going back.

this place is the best place for fine dinning in san antonio unbelievable service and food...it was an outstanding night for my friends and i. there is no other place like it being in La Villita was San Antonio's first neighborhood.It was originally a settlement of primitive huts for the Spanish soldiers stationed at the Mission San Antonio Valero (the Alamo). After a flood in 1819, brick, stone and adobe houses replaced the earlier structures. In 1836, La Villita was the site of General Santa Ana's cannon line in the Battle of the Alamo and a map from early that year showed the village to be of considerable size. the fig tree is an outstanding place to dine its history and beauty what makes this place worth dinning....

Moron. You are banned from here! Do you understand! We will not serve you. You were intoxicated, loud, obnoxious, and smelled like fecal matter. Our patrons were disgusted when you puked in the lobby. You need to be in rehab. Get a life you fat pig!
