1718 Steakhouse-stone Oak - San Antonio

The restaurant has rebranded itself as Aces of Steak and revamped its decor. Unfortunately, the service was lacking; the bartender and hostess seemed more focused on finishing their two bottles of wine than attending to customers. While the steak was satisfactory, my wife's lobster was undercooked. Additionally, the baked potato was dry and cold. Given the prices, I would recommend looking for another steakhouse.

I took my young daughter to this restaurant for our Daddy Daughter dance last year, and she absolutely loved it. When I asked her where she wanted to go this year, she immediately said she wanted to go back to the same place! Last time, she had the salmon and thought it was fantastic, while I enjoyed a delicious ribeye. Our service was excellent, and I'm really looking forward to returning. She wants to order the same dish again, while I might experiment with something new, though it's hard to resist a good ribeye!

The steaks are well-prepared and flavorful, though a bit on the pricey side. However, I noticed that the interior didn't quite match the photos displayed online. The walls were painted white, and the lighting was inconsistent, which didn’t create the right ambiance for a steakhouse. Overall, the atmosphere felt out of sync with the theme.

This is my 3rd time dining at this restaurant in Stone Oak. The food is excellent. (Chef checked on our table too) The service is very good. The drinks are excellent. The restaurant was recently remodeled. I think there may have been an ownership change? There will be a name change (apparently) in the next few weeks. Having dined here two prior times, I was familiar with the atmosphere/environment prior to remodeling. I was not too impressed with the remodel. Very open with a sterile feel. The music was a little much and a little loud. I feel like they are catering to a much younger customer, and not the 50's, 60's, and 70 year olds that were at my table. Note: try the Jalapeno Daiquiri. (It's not frozen) Spicy delicious

Negative stars. Made a reservation for an anniversary and waited 10 minutes at the front door. Decided to sit ourselves since we were never going to get greeted. Another 10 minutes to even get menus. There was a total of 4 tables in the restaurant. If you're understaffed then maybe you shouldn't accept reservations you can't handle. Waste of my time.
