The Ace Of Steaks - San Antonio

Rudy was exceptionally attentive and truly an excellent server! I will definitely be returning for the food soon!

On a positive note, we had no complaints about the main courses; they were satisfactory. However, the bread pudding was quite bland and lacking flavor. I understand that the restaurant has just opened, but there are definitely some areas that need improvement. I'm unsure if I would return.

We waited over 45 minutes just for bread, and then it took an hour for our appetizers to arrive. The food was good, but the wait was frustrating, especially since they ran out of certain items and only realized it after our courses were served. They also didn't have any to-go boxes available. However, my steak was cooked perfectly, and the accompanying vegetables were great as well. I really wanted to enjoy this place more, but waiting two hours for dinner is quite excessive.

This place is no longer 1718, they have changed it a week before the new year. I think the owner should have said something to those who had reservations. the waiter tried to do his best, but they just opened 3 days before. we have asked for drinks, they did not have them, flake that they did not have, dinner lasted more than an hour to come, drinks prepared were not what we asked, table wrong set, and many more things that I will not mention...so owners if they plan to open on New Year's Day and they only open their restaurant, be there and train your people! it is not a cheaper place to pay for something that it is not worth. very disappointing as we loved in 1718.

Its now called Ace of steaks and it is terrible. Do not mistake this for the previous (1718 restaurant) in the same location. I had hoped it would be as good or better, I was wrong. Service was rushed from the beginning and did not improve even after I said something to the hostess. Appetizers we had the steak tartar shich was sub par, the bone marrow and calamari were served cool. I ordered the lobster bisque which was the consistency of 2% milk and almost the same color never mind the disappointing flavor, it was sent back uneaten along with the apple salad that was off color and bitter. The $100 Wagyu ribeye was ordered medium rare it served medium, it was chewy and not worth the cost. The 6oz. Fillet was ordered medium rare it also was overcooked. We ordered Brussels sprouts, scalloped potatoes which had an off flavor and again they were both served cold. Two of our five guests did not eat anything but the over baked rolls and the server finally asked if anything was wrong and I told him, so he remove some but not all the offending items from the bill. Several other tables were sending back food or asking for management/owner but he never showed up I suspect because he(the owner) was entertaining friends at a “chefs table” One table canceled their entire order and left. When we were leaving I again told the hostess it was a terrible experience overall, I asked for the owners name(Michael) and when he would be available she was not sure and told me to call tomorrow. This is not the old (1718) under new management. Not good, not recommended and I am not going back.
