My husband and I went here for our one year wedding anniversary because we read that it was the iconic San Antonio restaurant to try. The hostesses were sloppily attired and gossiping at the front of the restaurant. The decor was horrible, just shimmery orange drapery everywhere and dusty candles. Very tacky. I have never had worse service. My husband... more

The River Walk restaurants are so busy we had trouble getting a reservation our first night in San Antonio. Biga had some openings and I'm glad they did. It's a few blocks from the busy area of the River Walk and gets less traffic. Both our salads were great. I had an iceberg salad with stilton, glazed pecans and red... more

The food and service were excellent! The pork and axis were extremely tender. The fresh bread was delicious! It is pricey, but worth every penny! It looks out over the Riverwalk. We did have a child with us and she enjoyed what she ordered off of the kids menu, especially the dessert. more

Northern VA (19 October 2009): Return visit to Biga - waiter was very knowledgable and the service was good under the circumstances (too few waiters, too many tables to serve). Food was so-so and the rack of lamb was not hot when served. Current dining experience doesn't live up to past ratings. Is Biga "cruising" on its past laurels? more

Arrived a little early, but were seated immediately. The matre'd could have smiled a little. Seated in a quiet part of the restaurant, not much to look at. Excellent greeting by the waiter, who offered and we accepted, a glass of champagne to start our dining experience. A pretty decent wine list. We chose a Pinot noir, Carmel Road, Monterey,... more

Biga was our splurge on a recent San Antonio trip, but it was worth every penny. I wasn't even sure I wanted to go 'back out' that night, but I'm soooo glad I did. Here are some adjectives (and some other descriptive words): friendly, accommodating, crowded but not stifling, excellent menu, unhurried, river view, and the food was GREAT! Get... more

Great views of the River from the balcony, at the foot of Tower Life building. Friendly informative service without being stuffy. Great combination of flavors in all teh dishes we tried, eg venison and quail. Housemade breads are hard to resit. Highly recommended and not as expensive as expected more

I could eat the wild game packets every day. The special occasion brunches are delicious too. The food is consistently wonderful, and the service is excellent. more

We just finished a wonderful meal at Biga. I was a little apprehensive because some of the reviews stated that it was overrated and very overpriced. I did not find it to be horribly expensive. I have certainly been to upscale restaurants that were far more pricey. We had the smoked salmon appetizer. It was very good. We were not... more
