    A great place in n the Riverwalk. Our sever (Malek, if I remember correctly) was excellent. The hatch cheese dip with chorizo was a winner. My wife and I got the chicken sandwich and the burger and split them so we each had a half. We both agreed the burger was pretty good but the chicken was excellent. Lastly, it was my wife’s birthday so they brought her some churros with caramel and chocolate dipping sauces that were amazingly good. It’s pricey for what it is, like everything on the Riverwalk, but overall an excellent experience so we didn’t mind the cost.

    Tenfold is an exceptional San Antonio bar experience. The atmosphere has a relaxed and elegant vibe. Whether you're starting up the evening or winding things down, this place is a must for a great evening with friends. The drinks are great, reasonably priced, and complimented with tasty tapas and thoughtful service. The rooftop view makes Tenfold standout. When the sun goes down and the skyline lights up guests are treated to one of the best views in the city.
