Reviews for 5 Points Food & Drink in San Antonio, TX
We have been to Gwendolyn a few times now and everything is incredible, every single time. My wife and I enjoy the five course... with wine pairing and, for us, coming here is a visceral feeling that goes beyond just eating food. We enjoy making oppositecourses from the five course so we can taste each other's food with the wine selection. I would encourage anyone to that comeshere to try something you would not normally choose on a menu, I am always surprised by what I like when it is prepared bygenius. Read more
Roller coaster of flavor The 7 course ride starts with the assent, Amuse Bouche: The Duck Shumai - sweet spicy delight 1st... Course: Jamaican Butternut Squash Soup - Spicy and creamy with a mild after kick, just wonderful 2nd Course: Green Bean CaeserSalad - superbly presented with an anchovy tuile 3rd Course: Steak Chaliapin - steak and caramelized onion withperfection Entremezzo: A surprise spiced rose sorbet, careful, you can't get enough Entree: Duck Veracruzano - a flavorfulsensation with perfectly prepared duck Dessert: Both the Ryzogol (Safron honey rice pudding) & Poires Belle Helene - Caramelizedpear; were both welcoming and surprising. Written by a diner, albeit amateur, but has eating at his share of Michelin starrestaurants, this restaurant is San Antonio's jewel, and warrants this review. Also the service was spectacular.

No words will do this place justice. I am not even quite sure how to describe our experience.. but in my best words, this place... is for sure one of a kind in the MOST beautiful way. Came here on a whim for my birthday and was kindly greeted by Trina whotook such great care of us. My husband and I loved the atmosphere and how they let us peek into the kitchen to see our foodbeing prepared! We did the 5 course meal with the wine pairing and it was such an incredible experience that I have never hadbefore.. The food was so flavorful and of course gorgeous! Portions can come off small, but don’t let that fool you.. I was sosurprisingly satisfied and full by the end. You can really taste the pureness and freshness of every ingredient used. I justfelt like I was in a dream the whole time. We will for sure be back. Restaurant Gwendolyn is a place to remember forever. Read more
The food is unbelievably delicious. Especially taking into consideration it is all industrial (no mixers, blenders, etc). We... were delightfully surprised by every dish. The tasting menu changes frequently--so we will be back! The wine pairing was wellworth it! Read more
This wasn’t just a dinner. It was an experience! If you are a foodie and love great food and a relaxing, wonderful setting,... Restaurant Gwendolyn is definitely for you! My wife and I did their 5 course tasting menu and every single crumb was delicious! The stuffed Quail was so good!! Even their table bread was from a 200 year old recipe and melted in your mouth! This is agreat place! Read more
THE BEST MEAL I’ve had in years! The 7 course tasting with wine pairing was wonderful. This is the real deal, all food locally... sourced, including the proteins. Crisp, harmonious light and exciting, the flavors all work together. Service was excellent. Read more
Very good food. Third best tomato soup I ever had. Exceptional service. Everything is local and made in an old world style... kitchen. Very cool atmosphere and experience. I thought it was a bit pricey, but I also assume we were paying for the experienceas well. Some of the dishes were a bit too creative in my opinion (and I love to try new things), thus, didnt live up to thehype and expectations I had for each dish. That said, the wine pairings were spectacular and the food was delicious. Read more
