18 Oaks - San Antonio

The best service I received in a long time. My kids have a lot of allergies but they accommodated everything. Our kids' first fine dining experience was great. No issue at all. They even came to check if my kids were doing well. Not just one person, but the whole team was great. Oh yeah, food was great, too. Duck fat Brussels was my favorite. Family friendly.

Love the location ... right off the golf course. They have bar, indoor, and patio seating. We were greeted and seated immediately as we arrived on time for our reservation. (I recommend reservations as they are busy even on Weds night) We started with a few drinks from the bar ... old fashion and ranch water were mixed well. They served bread with butter, olive oil, and amazing spicy pickles. I could have eaten a bowl of those pickles. I wished the olive oil had herbs in it. Later, the waiter came back, and we ordered the crab cakes. They were very good .. lumped crab, seared and served with an aoli. Followed it up with French Onion soup. For dinner, we had the New York Strip and the small filet. Both were perfectly cooked .. medium rare+. I love that the waiter offered since I teetering on my cook choice. I added truffle butter and blue cheese. Loved the butter. Was confused on why the blue cheese came as a side and not broiled on top. Added honeyed sweet potato fries with a yum yum sauce ... hard to find a new and fun way to eat fries. They did. However, serious kudos for the truffle cream corn ... best I have ever had! I love it when the waiting staff allows you to take your time, visit, and enjoy every course of your meal. The service was attentive and not intrusive .. the experience lasted 1.75 hours. Definitely will be finding my way back!

Loved this steakhouse...we went as a family while staying on property at the JW Marriott Resort. We had the lobster bisque, a steak, asparagus, mashed potatoes, shrimp cocktail, and bread pudding. Everything tasted delicious and the service was great. The bread tray was a great starter and the kids thoroughly enjoyed helping Dad pick out his steak knife. We definitely would return.

I had dinner with a large party. My main entree was the filet mignon and it was delicious. The place was crowded and it seemed like the service was a little slow. Our party size could have delayed the food coming out sooner.

The food is good. However, take ski gear as it is freezing in there! So much so that your back will hurt. I like it cold but it's incredibly uncomfortable. Also, the waitstaff is incredibly rude and unaccommodating. Will never go back.
