Had a 8pm reservation for my birthday. They got us in 30 min past and gave our table to someone that came after us. Was pretty upset about it but they found us different seating in the greenhouse which was very nice. The manager came to apologize with champagne and two appetizers on the house. Our waitress Michelle was awesome and the food was amazing. Ordered a piece of cheesecake (which was also comped) and Michelle placed a candle in for my bday celebration. Total experience was one of my favorites. Started off not so great but they really went above and beyond to make up for it. Definitely a favorite now

Mikayla, our server was amazing, funny and engaging. My first time having a burger here. The Ultimate was NOT a disappointment! I will be back and already know which entree I want to try next....the blackened chicken Alfredo! I almost asked my neighbor for a taste. Lol! Bobby G & The Drive (band) was great! Energetic and nostalgic Rock! And the view of Fiesta Texas fireworks was an unexpected bonus! Loved it!!!

About the restaurant

Historic Texas Country Icehouse & Premium River Walk Patio

Nestled on the edge of the historic La Villita Village is a very special place, the oldest two story rock building in Bexar county built by Otto Bombach in the mid-19th century. A pleasant surprise to behold! The Prost Haus, German by design but Texas country by application. Admire the museum like spectacle of the interior restaurant and bar architecture and slide outside to the most beautiful patio on the San Antonio River Walk. Live country music radiates as guests indulge in cool Texas brews or hand-crafted colorful cocktails. The menu items are made from scratch daily and offer delicious delicacies from hand pulled giant pretzels, Texas corned beef Reubens, and mouthwatering USDA steaks.

This is the best patio on The San Antonio River Walk to wind down, enjoy Texas country music, and watch the best sunsets in the southern USA.

Prost Y’all!
