Great food, ambiance and service. Excellent wine selection.
The bar below has a great wood cabinet, jazz live music and ambiance. The service a bit slow. If you want to have a quick drink before dinner it may take more than what you want, worse is that you see the service people inside and ourside the bar just chating. Which is a shock when you mive to the restaurant upstairs where the service is THE BEST, plus the food which I already mentioned. Everything else is fantastic.
All head waiters are top, Jose is the best.
And they are consistent. My comments here are not from one visit. I have been there five times and all five times would say the same, including the slow service at the bar. Will go back many more times.

My husband and I took a group of 11 to Bohanan’s for a business dinner on June 14. Our Uber driver had previously worked at Bohanan’s and he suggested that we cancel our reservation at another restaurant and give Bohanan’s a try. Boy, are we glad we did! We had a remarkable dining experience! The atmosphere, the food and the staff were excellent. We entertain for business a couple of times a year in different U.S. cities. Our experience at Bohanan’s in San Antonio ranked up there with better known restaurants anywhere in the country.

We began the evening with drinks at the bar while we waited for our party to assemble. The bar at Bohanan’s has a rich, old-world ambiance that made me want to linger. The bartenders were top notch and obviously knew their craft. I had a specialty cocktail made with vodka or gin, egg whites and raspberry (sorry, I don’t remember the name). It was beautiful, delicious and fun to drink.

When all had arrived, we took the elevator upstairs to our table in the restaurant. I was pleased to see a round table set for 11. I love round tables for group dining! Our server, Rick, greeted us warmly and told us the Bohanan’s story which set us up for a memorable night. Rick guided me in our wine selections and suggested that we focus on seafood appetizers since we should have steak entrees. Each of us was presented with a small plate with lump crab, sashimi tuna, and a large shrimp. Each was startlingly fresh and delicious. In addition, we ordered the sweet and spicy Kurobuta bacon for the table. How could that not be delicious? It did not disappoint.

Most everyone followed Rick’s recommendation and ordered steak for their entrée. My husband, who is not a steak eater, had the Alaskan salmon which he quite enjoyed, but it was the steaks that stole the show. We sampled several of the steak offerings. I had the bone-in filet which had a beautiful char on the outside and a perfect reddish-pink center. Each bite was a flavor bomb! Others at the table had the Wagyu filet, or a bone-in ribeye. Everyone raved about their steak and I heard several use the words “Best Ever.”

We capped off the evening by sharing some old-fashioned bananas foster, prepared table side. Not surprisingly, it was perfect!

We went there with family to celebrate my husband's retirement. It would be a wonderful place to celebrate any occasion! We all had steak - the filet that I ate was superb and has become the benchmark for all future filets I will eat. The wine list and cocktail list provided an outstanding selection. The atmosphere was elegant but not pretentious. The service could not be beaten - from the bar through dessert. One of the best restaurants I've eaten in in the the world.

If you are looking for a truly elegant atmosphere and wonderful food...make a reservation at Bohannon's. (Reservations will be likely needed). You might request the second story dining room with a view over the patio...you're right on the floor to ceiling windows. The service was excellent! We each had a Caesar salad and shared the Wagyu steak (medium rare, which was excellent, but closer to rare). We finished dinner with Cherries Jubilee flambeed at our table. Delicious food!! Wine choices were good, although our favorite Zinfandel was not available. You are permitted to relax on their patio with your wine and a cigar...something not every restaurant allows in San Antonio. We were celebrating our 70th Birthdays (we had told them when we made the reservation) and they had a very nice card there to greet us at the table! A truly memorable, great evening!

Food as you may know is a bit pricey but so worth it. We had the Chateaubriand for two. Steak was excellent although an slice each would have been good. Server was very friendly, down to earth and impeccable.
A must stop when in San Antonio
