1917 Restaurant — Restaurant in San Antonio

We saw this place shared on social media. It received good reviews. We wanted to try it. The food is good. I had the tortilla soup to start with. It was a little different and had a little bit of spiciness to it. I then ordered the Char-Grilled Salmon Fillet and the wife ordered Char-Grilled Short Rib Burger with Parmesan garlic tots (they were very tasty). The hospitality was excellent.

They tried everything they could to make our anniversary dinner special, but the food was way too...

Our meals were excellent! My wife had the grilled Brussels sprouts with chicken and quinoa bowl, and I had the Turkey burger with the best fries we have ever had anywhere! These items happened to be on the lunch specials menu, and we cannot get over the value of this food. Even apart from the value, the cuisine was top notch. This restaurant is nestled inside a newer Embassy Suites hotel in this area on the south side of San Antonio. We did not stay at this hotel, but we drove to the 1917 Restaurant based on recommendations my wife found on Pinterest. It did not disappoint, and we will likely return on our next trip to...
