We had heard so many good things about Le Reve that we just had to try it. We had to make reservations 3 weeks in advance to be able to get a table. We looked at the menu online and the tasting menu was $105 per person (without wine pairings). So you would think it would have to be good, right? Wrong!! We were extremely disapointed. First, it took us a while to find the restaurant because they do not have any visible signs or anything that says ""valet here"". We got there and were seated and everything seemed to be just fine. Nothing spectacular, but good. I am not excited over the different color napkin based on what you are wearing like the person who wrote a review on here. Any good restaurant does this. They bring bread to your table several times before they start bringing out food. I guess that is to fill you up so that you won't notice that there is nothing special about the food. There are no spectacular tastes or anything. Most of the food that is served you think ""I've had tastes like this before"". Nothing special. Our bill was $254 (and we did not have any alcohol with our meal). We do not mind paying good money if the food is great . Our recommendation is...if you want great food in San Antonio with an awesome atmosphere go to Biga on the Banks. Bruce, the chef, is an awesome chef that actually knows how to prepare great food with an explosion of flavors. You will not be disapointed and will want to go back again and again. Plus the eight course tasting menu at Biga on the Banks is $85 per person. Much more reasonable and you get more and much better tasting food. Don't waste your time at Le Reve when you can experience Biga on the Banks. We learned our lesson.
Pros: You get good bread.
Cons: No great food. No signs pointing you toward valet parking. No ""great"" waiters. It took us 3 1/2 hours to eat when they say it will only take 2 1/2.
