First Course Salad Kitchen San Antonio Reviews
This is by far our FAVORITE restaurant in San Antonio. We always order the same two dishes, Chicken Victoria and the Plank Cedar Salmon. We also enjoyed the jambalaya, shrimp, and chicken piccata. They start your order with some warm bread and cilantro dipping oil. It’s a must try!
It was our 1st visit to this restaurant, we really liked it. Very clean place, good service, great food, big portions. My seafood cov salad was amazing, we will definitely go back!
Had an annual post-Christmas day lunch with a group of friends. Excellent food and service. Shout-out to our waitress Devon who was spectacular. Would come back just for her. Lots of variety on the menu for both food and drinks.
Went for team lunch during work week. Lunch menu is reasonably priced under $20. Food was excellent, generous portions, and rather polished servers. I had parmesan shrimp which was delicious and plenty of medium sized shrimp. Others in the party commented similarly.
Phenomenal food that hits all the right notes when it comes to New Orleans cuisine. The Boudin sausage was tasty, the shrimp & grits were spot on with flavor, and the jambalaya had the right amount of chicken & sausage that was perfectly favorable. Service was great with bread at the table and water being filled without asking.
Just kind of happened upon it in our travels. Best shrimp and grits I have ever had.... including in New orleans. Service was great as well
Food was great. Decided to take my wife out of town" for a date and she was excited. We had never been to this restaurant before but definitely will go back soon. Oysters and frog legs were top tier. Our waiter was very friendly and very helpful with menu selections. If you are in the Boerne area looking for seafood, this is the spot.
Everything we had there is absolutely delicious. I didn’t get a picture of the appetizer we got. We got the alligator bites. Omg it was amazing. My husband had a shrimp salad which I also didn’t get a photo of. I got the jambalaya. It was a bit on the salty side but still was very good. My daughter the got the shrimp and sausage but substituted the shrimp with another sausage red beans and rice. She really enjoyed her meal and was raving about how good it was We also got the key lime pie….WOW…that just put the top of deliciousness over our whole meal. The price for the meals is very reasonable for the amount of food you get. The atmosphere is very Cajun like. Very welcoming and clean setting. I thought it was very beautiful.
Coming here was actually a happy accident. We were going to go somewhere else for Father's Day, but they were closed, so luckily we ended up here. They had fresh bread with a pesto dipping sauce that was so bright in it's flavors. We ordered the oysters, Salmon Alexander and Seafood Cobb Salad. They were all delicious!! The oysters were perfectly shucked and fresh. The salmon was the best I've had at a restaurant (my husband's is the best!!). My salad was absolutely delicious with the right balance of of toppings and a delicious house made dill dressing. Our drinks were decent... Probably the least of our experience, but still good. Our server, Dianna, was absolutely fantastic! She stayed on top of everything we needed, was gracious with my extra requests and was warm and friendly. We ended up having an unexpectedly special night with fantastic food and great service. Definitely will be back!
The food here was delicious! We had the Alligator for appetizer it was delicious! I had the Red fish Diablo and my wife had a seared Ahi Tuna salad, which were both amazing! Our waiter was very helpful with ordering as this was our first time there. Tasty wine selection as well! The prices were reasonable! We will definitely be back soon!
We whipped into this place late this morning, about 11am. We were pleasantly greeted by a cheerful hostess, followed by an even friendlier waitress. The service was excellent. The waitress offered lots of suggestions since this was our first time to eat there. We ordered a couple of appetizers, alligator bites and the boudin. Both amazing! The cilantro pesto for dipping the bread in...this is AMAZING! There of us got the pecan crusted chicken and mashed potatoes. It's to die for! The grilled salmon was delicious with lemon butter sauce. The Creole Pasta was delicious as well. The restrooms were clean. One downside was that they don't have a changing table for the babies. Overall, we were very satisfied and impressed! We will be going back again!!
I came to Bourbon St Restaurant just to have a drink with my friend cause it was close and she said it was really good. I honestly wasn’t expecting anything since it’s a chain restaurant. We order the sangria, which was very good. My friend order the seafood pasta and the seafood fondue to share, OMG they were delicious and just to make the experience better, they brought bread.. yes this Amazing Bread!!! I have to say I’m not a bread eater, but this one, is just extremely good, as I write this, I’m craving it 🤦♀️😂😂 and the secret is not just the taste and soft texture of this bread, they bring you an amazing green vinaigrette that you dip the bread with, I’m not sure what it has besides then olive oil but they should sell it definitely cause it’s addictive and extremely good. Honestly I loved this New Orleans cuisine restaurant, I have to come back to try more options!!!
Oh my goodness! This is such a fantastic lunch spot! First, let me say the wait staff are incredibly friendly. I love eating somewhere where the staff seem to be genuinely happy working there. The complementary bread and dip is phenomenal! My partner and I always eat two. The pineapple mojito is the absolute bomb. A generous serving and not too sweet. I have tried two different types of pasta from here (the saffron and the parmesan) both are so so good and the portions are huge and I always have leftovers for the next day. It reheats well. I also enjoy the oysters from here! I definitely will continue to enjoy this amazing food!
The food here was so good!!! My blackened catfish and shrimp etoufee was really great! The shrimp was cooked good and the different rices really complimented the food. Her food was really good she couldn’t finish it but took it all the way back to Dallas. The Bourbon St Light drink was awesome the blue caracua syrup made it taste really good 😌 Definitely 5 stars ⭐️
Service was great and the food was excellent. Some of the best gator bites I have had. The gator was tender and juicy with a nice dipping sauce. The stuffed shrimp were large, the stuffing was amazing and the sauce it was on had excellent flavor. The fries were shoe string fries which were cunchy and tasted great. My friend has the fried shrimp and oysters which he enjoyed. I will be returning next time I'm in the area.
Atmosphere and service were very nice. I had the cajun pasta. It was so salty I couldn't finish it. Really, Really salty. My wife had etouffe and it was excellent. They add 3% to the bill for credit, which is a little high compared to other restaurants.
