Landry's Seafood House — Restaurant in San Antonio

Whether it's for a romantic moment, a celebratory event or just a standard dinner with friends and family, Landry's is perfect for hosting the occasion and making it even grander for more than just shared memories!

Simple, elegant and bold; the black and white palette with the accented warm natural tones makes the space feel very pleasant and welcoming without being too overbearing and the white tones of the table reflect the light so it seems as though there's a soft glow in the building. It's well - lit and compliments the space well with very neutral lighting leaning closer to the warm side. It's quite active and bustling but everything feels like a steady flow and very serene despite constant movement of staff and the customers going in and out especially to be located in an area that's right on the riverwalk. The inside was also pristine and everything was kept cleaned during our entire stay both inside and out. There sometimes will be a wait as it is a popular attraction (especially during tourist season) so it can feel a bit odd and feel as though you're standing in the way yet it still manages to not feel overcrowded or cramped. Seating is also well spaced so it doesn't feel as though you're sitting right on top of one another but it isn't so spaced out that everyone feels distant from one another and it allows comfortable room to maneuver about for everyone! NOTE: It's highly recommended to reserve a table to shorten the wait time (in our experience we didn't have too much of a long wait).

To keep it pretty simple: the food was fantastic. The flavor profile was consistent and perfectly applied to every appetizer and main course. The smells of the food were amazing and really set up as a lovely preview for the dishes and the presentation was a work of art; each dish reflected the effort and talent that went into creating them and was an honor to receive. Some of the foods that were our favorites would be the oyster rockefellers and the sea bass madrid. The berry faux - jito is also a favorite mocktail of mine so far but all of them are quite beautiful and taste amazing. Unfortunately we didn't have enough room for dessert despite sharing many of the dishes but the banana foster was easily sold out and seemed to be a favorite among the tables so I'm sure it's one of the top picks if you're ever looking to satisfy a sweet tooth!

The staff were very respectful and polite but our greatest experience came from the waiting staff the most. Our main waiter Bobby was a delight and our night was filled with an aura of compassion, ease and authenticity. He was a very personable person and managed to bring joy and smiles to everyone that he interacted with which is something I always appreciate especially in spaces such as these. His service was not only quick and accurate but attentive and cheerful; making an effort to remember names, orders and various menu items from the top of his head in the blink of an eye. The waiting staff felt more than skilled individuals seeking to fulfill their roles but also genuine people wanting to bring laughter, fellowship and ease to really make for a cherishable experience with each patron.

Although a little on the pricey side it's well worth it not only for the food but the experience that it brings. Whether your adventurous at heart or just wanting to find a place that brings people together then look no further as this is the perfect place to go to foster the energy and experience you're...

I have never written a review about any restaurant but our experience at Landry's is unfortunately one I cannot ignore. Came to San Antonio for vacation and stayed along the Riverwalk with family. Landry's was highly recommended by hotel staff so we decided to give it a try. My husband and I arrived on a busy Saturday night around 830pm. We asked the hostess if reservations were required to sit in or outside along the Riverwalk. She was rather focused on coloring a picture of a leaf using a green crayon (yes, you read that correctly) - should have immediately bolted for the door after that, hindsight is 20/20 . The hostess stated that reservations were not required for either but it would be about a 20 minute wait to be seated outside. We asked her if it was ok for us to head upstairs to the bar and wait there which she acknowledged that was fine. We asked her if she needed our last name but stated that wasn't required and she would come find us when a table opens up. Ok, cool, we get to chill at a bar listening to an amazing live band while waiting.

Now, the upstairs bar and live band was Epic (they get 5 stars and an A++++++). After about an hour, my husband went downstairs and spoke to another hostess. She was confused why our name was not on a list. He explained the situation - she then told him to come back downstairs so we could be seated. We paid for our drinks at the bar and headed back to the main level and the green crayon hostess was back at the seating area. She explained that she had forgotten all about us and said to go outside where the hostess there would immediately seat us - it was very odd that indoor hostess didn't come out with us to explain the situation. We went outside to the hostess there and she asked if we had a reservation. Told her we didn't but were instructed to see her so she could sit us at a table - it was getting closer to 10pm. The hostess outside seemed very annoyed and dismissive about that (again, if we were told at the BEGINNING we needed a reservation, we would have completely understood and gone somewhere else).

She sat us in a corner next to the building away from any of the other tables that were located by the Riverwalk. Note: Most of the tables along the river were completely empty. Our table was under an extremely bright street light. To top it off, the table we sat at wobbled like crazy every time we touched it. Since it was getting late, we asked if it would be possible to order online and go. Hostess told us the only way was for us to go back upstairs and place the order there ourselves. We then asked was if there was any way they could expedite our order since we had been waiting for hours to eat (and I wanted to order food for my parents who just arrived at the hotel). We were told it was not and there was nothing they could do. The message was crystal clear, no one was interested or had any intention in helping us, and we left immediately after that realizing getting any food or service there was a complete lost cause.

On the way back, we stopped at a CVS that was still open and got several premade sandwiches for me, my husband and parents. By the end of the night, CVS gave us far superior food (since we were actually able to EAT something) and service than Landry's, and that's saying something. Never,...

My friend and I decided to go for a seafood restaurant and found this place which was about a 10 mins walk from our hotel. Anyway, there were plenty of tables but we had to wait for a short while, about 10 mins, and then we were seated. Our server who was called Jessica, wasn’t the most pleasant of servers. I ordered the seafood platter and a mocktail. My friend ordered the Seabass Madrid and a coke. The food was nice, my platter wasn't dry and a good portion size, and I quite enjoyed the meal, and my friend also enjoyed hers. It was time to pay for our meal, so we asked Jessica for the bill/cheque and she provided us with a small bill showing us which meal we had (we wanted to pay separately). So, we checked it and everything looked fine. She then proceeded to ask for our credit cards and said she needs to take it with her to process the payment behind a counter somewhere. So she processed the payment out of our sight, then it took quite a while for her to come back and return our credit cards back to us. She gave us a receipt and it reflected what we ate (my amount on the receipt showed $43.38). However, when I got back to the U.K, I checked my expenses on my credit card and saw that $53.38 was deducted from my card instead of $43.38 - Jessica must have taken it upon herself to give herself a $10 tip, and then a separate transaction of $13.08 was also taken from my credit card. So, an extra $23.08 was taken from my credit card. I was very annoyed to see this - why did she not process the payment in front of us, and she handed us back with a "fraudulent" receipt and then went on to take a further $13.08 - I really don't understand what this addition $13.08 charge/transaction was, it just appeared in my statement as a separate transaction!!! If she wanted a tip, we would have given it, but she took our cards and processed the payments out of our sight. I do not recommend this place because they...
