We were 10 and were seated on a Sunday afternoon, immediately. It is a buffet. The choices were fantastic: meats, eggs, salads, fruits, fish, etc. They brought us complimentary mimosas and the service was excellent. The location is beautiful, inside the historic Menger hotel. The price was very reasonable. Strongly recommend a Sunday brunch there while in San Antonio. More

Average breakfast food but the atmosphere is wonderful and you can take your breakfast or coffee outside to the courtyard when the weather is nice. (which is all the time in San Antonio). Excellent service. More

We were lucky to get reservations for Sunday Brunch during Fiesta week. Great Price! Great Food! Super Server! The variety of food ranged from beef to seafood, breakfast food items, salads, complementary mimosas or champagne and deserts. The deserts were not the high point of the brunch, but who had room. They offered a bread pudding with rum sauce that... More

This restaurant was recommended to us. Since our hotel didn't have a traditional breakfast, we walk to Menger. Breakfast buffet was excellent. This is an older hotel so experience was very comfortable. Service excellent. More

We ate here out of convenience, and the buffet was great. There is an omlet and waffle bar included, and for $14 it's reasonable compared to what you would pay in a hotel restaurant. More

We generally avoid hotel restaurants, but we booked the Colonial Room for a Valentine's Day dinner when all the Riverwalk restaurants were booked solid, and we were glad we did. The white-tablecloth atmosphere and attentive service were everything we could have wanted and the food was plentiful and good. Highly recommended More

WE had eaten there five years before and went back to especially eat the mango ice cream. They had a mango tree by this historical hotel and presidents have been there to eat it. Cowboys rode their horses in the lobby. The ice cream is still the best. Close to the Alamo More

The Colonial Room is a great place for either their breakfast buffet or ordering off the breakfast menu. I ordered the breakfast taco and it was fantastic - a light breakfast taco filled with scrambled eggs and sausage. The dinner menu is rather limited and uninspired. I had a New York steak which was nothing special. Also, there's something about... More
