18 Oaks - San Antonio

Great steakhouse located within Jw marriott. It is located in the same building as the golf clubhouse and gift shop. We did have reservations and had no issues getting seated. There was a large bar area we noticed upon getting seated. This is one of the more upscale restaurants located here but no real formal dress required. Dressy casual. The bread we got served upon seating was delicious but give a party of 2 more than 2 rolls. That will go quickly! The French onion soup i got was very filling and delicious. My husbands Caesar salad was even better the dressing was perfect and mixed just perfectly. We ordered a $45 bottle of Malbec and it was delicious plus great price point for here considering how crazy markup is on wine at steakhouses... Charlie was our server he was helpful and kind, Demetria was his assistant and she was our absolute favorite! So personable and very attentive. We enjoyed her company. The mac and cheese was my favorite part of the entire meal. So fresh and the crusted bread crumbs atop was just the perfect treat. The cream corn was also delicious. As for the filet my husband got the wagyu steak and it was like butter he could cut right through it! My filet was okay super juicy and more red than usual of what i get at home. Overall was a great experience loved the pace of this restaurant as well because you never felt rushed and allowed you to fully enjoy this nice meal! We enjoyed it out on the patio which is even better!

It's been a while since I have been here but on a work trip, staying at the hotel we chose 18 Oaks for dinner: Service was impeccable throughout our night and that was definitely a 5 5 as was the location. Drinks were well priced enjoyed their Rose Prosecco which was great and they have an extensive wine beer menu with some signature cocktails. Food was meh! Wedge salad was okay but nothing to shout home about! Salmon was bland a huge piece but absolutely flavorless if I had been blindfolded I would not know what I was eating. It was bizarre! Ended up eating the mushrooms which were perfectly cooked. Pretty location, great service but food is sub par! That said, it is a steak restaurant so those are likely their better option

I was on a business trip and was staying at the JW Marriot at San Antonio Hill. I walked into the restaurant and requested to dine and the Manager Phoenix was very cordial and told me I would be seated shortly. I went to the bar and ordered a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon which was complimentary for staying at the hotel. I was seated shortly after and was greeted by my server, Jacob a seven year employee who told me of the evening's specials. A new dish, as of the previous day, The Quail served Al Pastor style was available and I was at a cross roads deciding between a great rib eye or quail? Mmmm? A deciding factor was Phoenix coming by my table and asking me how everything was and I shared with her my dilemma. She recommended the Quail, so, I gave it a go! I ordered the Cesar Salad with anchovies, chard Brussel Sprouts prepared in duck fat to go with the Quail Al Pastor. The meal and service was equally awesome, and if you order the quail, you will not be disappointed! Oh yes, why stop there? I enjoyed a dessert, a berry crumble cobbler with vanilla ice cream. Yum!!! If visiting this area of San Antonio, try this restaurant! You are in for a treat!!

This was my second visit. I ordered steak when I came here for the first time but I didn't think it was that great so this time I ordered something different and I totally loved it! Short rib was so good and love potato purée ! Their Mac and cheese is more like gratin and it was so good! Every time I try onion soup from other restaurants, it's so salty but this one was perfect ! I'm gonna come back here again :

I recently had an excellent dining experience, thanks to the amazing service we received. My children have multiple allergies, but the staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. It was our kids' first time at a fine dining restaurant, and it couldn't have gone better. They made sure to check on us and our kids throughout the meal, and it wasn't just one person—everyone on the team was fantastic. Oh, and the food was delicious! The duck fat Brussels sprouts were my favorite dish. Overall, it’s a very family-friendly place, and I highly recommend it.
