"Excellent example of cooking based on local ingredients with a retro touch in terms of using traditional methods. Tasking menu with wine pairings was a wonderful choice to showcase the range the restaurant has. This is a worthy successor to La Reve in the same space. Staff is very friendly and informative, if a bit informal."

"Even after 4 visits we're still amazed at how Gwendolyn's consistently crafts the best fine-dining dishes in San Antonio using local products and minimum gadgetry. Each course and wine pairing were well thought out."

"We had a great table for seven on the patio overlooking a quiet and scenic section of the river walk. Restaurant Gwendolyn is a fine dining establishment where the chef pays remarkable attention to the selection of fresh, flavorful ingredients. The taste combinations in my frisee goat cheese salad and my shrimp fettucine were exquisite. Service is skillful but course changes can proceed at a languid pace if the table seems content to converse and not finish their plates. The wine pairings were innovative. Highly recommended."

"I hated how much my husband and I hated this resaurant, the food was ok (not great), I would hardly call this "french" the waitstaff is awful they can't pronounce the wine they are serving, the pours are very small, don't bother waiting for the valet theres only 1 kid they tell you to lock your doors with the cars hazards on and come on in the kid will get to your car when he comes back. I guess the problem was i wanted so badly for there to be another lereve..... that it is NOT!!!"

"The food is an outstanding tribute to the chef and his kitchen's craft. The 3-course offers a plentiful array of flavors -- and mid-week before 6:30 is $20 off -- as is the opulent 5-course choice. Go, go, go! Everything is truly artistic without being fussy. The flavors have come a long way since the restaurant opened and is not solidly among the city's top 3 restaurants without a doubt. Though I'm having trouble naming the other two ..."

"The concept of this restaurant and its food both rate five stars. Our waiter was personable and knowledgeable. The pacing of the five-course dinner was excellent, neither too fast or too slow. Everything I ate was delicious, but I would rate as outstanding the wild game ravioli, the salad of Romaine lettuce, boiled egg, and house-made bacon. and the grapefruit sorbet. Quiet place, good service, chef and wait staff that know what they are doing and are ready to talk about it."
