Over dit restaurant

Goed voor speciale gelegenheden
Leuk
Charmant

Overlooking the San Antonio River Walk since 2000, Bruce Auden’s Biga on the Banks continues to charm San Antonio foodies and Alamo City visitors with its constantly-changing new American menu featuring the best ingredients South Texas has to offer.

It has been said that Bruce Auden has “put San Antonio on the culinary map” but this Chef is just getting started. The Biga menu features fresh caught fish like Mahi Mahi, True American Red Snapper and Ahi Tuna. Main stays on the menu usually include Hill Country Venison and Bandera Quail, Grilled Australian Rack of Lamb and Roasted Bell & Evans Chicken.

The dining room is modern with a casual-well informed style of service.

The wine list is eclectic and broad with hundreds of labels and the full bar offers craft cocktails.

Biga on the Banks has a versatility about it. If you’re looking for a come-as-you-are impromptu bite, a celebratory dinner with family or a working dinner with business colleagues, Biga fits your needs.

Waarom dit pareltjes zijn

Chef-kok: Bruce Auden

Van de OpenTable-redactie: When he opened Biga in 1991, London-born chef Bruce Auden kicked off a new era of fine dining in San Antonio, amassing a huge celebrity following (Julia Child, Emeril Lagasse) and racking up several James Beard nominations. In 2000, the restaurant moved to a bigger space with sweeping Riverwalk views, the perfect setting for Auden’s ever-changing global menu with Texas accents—think spiced antelope and quail, habañero jerk scallops, and za’atar roasted cauliflower.

The Antelope/Quail entree was the height of the night. The dish showcased the chef’s diverse expertise. We really enjoyed the dessert sampler as well from the talented pastry chef. Our server Tucker took great care of us and was very knowledgeable about the menu. Beautiful view overlooking the Riverwalk. Overall a fantastic spot.

We went for a birthday dinner. The food was outstanding! Everything we ordered was perfectly cooked with wonderful flavors. Must try the scallops, lamb, red snapper, and salmon! We would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for an amazing dinner spot on the river. Service was exactly what you would hope for in a restaurant like this! It's the little things that add that extra level!!

I went with the three course option, beet salad, vegetarian tostada and toffe cake. Old fashion on the side. The flavors for everything were out of this world!

We had the prefixed meal. It was wonderful from start to finish. We both loved everything and were so stuffed by the time we rolled out of there. Terran (sp?) was our waiter and did a magnificent job taking care of us. We affectionately renamed the place Piggas on the Banks :)))

Excellent service - We started with drinks which came right away. Exactly as ordered even though they were a little complicated to make. Appetizers were excellent especially the fried oysters. Meals were served hot and were very tasty. Excellent seasoning and not overpowering. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
