Our commitment to excellence begins with USDA Prime aged beef, including exclusive Akaushi cuts, and fresh seafood flown in daily. Under Chef Mark Bohanan's leadership, our kitchen honors South Texas culinary heritage while refining classic steakhouse techniques. The upstairs dining room exudes Old-World charm with plush seating and dim lighting, creating an atmosphere of sophisticated elegance. Recognized by Zagat since 2008 and awarded Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence since 2025, we maintain rigorous standards for both food quality and service.Our private dining spaces accommodate groups up to 130, featuring custom menus and state-of-the-art event facilities. The downstairs Bohanans Restaurant & Bar offers a more casual setting with live jazz and craft cocktails while maintaining our signature attention to detail. Customer testimonials consistently highlight our attentive staff, meticulous dish presentation, and the perfect balance of spicy and sweet in signature items like Mom's Candied Jalapeos. Through two decades of operation, we've cultivated a reputation as San Antonio's premier destination for both special occasions and discerning regular patrons.

Prime Steaks
Our USDA Prime aged Midwestern corn-fed beef features hand-cut center cuts including Filet, Ribeye, and New York Strip. The exclusive Akaushi beef selection offers unparalleled marbling and flavor. Each steak is grilled over mesquite for authentic smokiness, with portion options from 7 oz to 24 oz. The kitchen's disciplined approach ensures perfect preparation from 7 oz for lighter appetites to 24 oz for shared indulgence.
Seafood
Daily fresh seafood flown in from global sources includes Wild Alaskan Salmon, Gulf Red Snapper, and Australian Cold Water Lobster. Preparation methods range from mesquite-grilled to sauted with house-made sauces. Signature dishes feature crabmeat royale toppings, macadamia crusts, and seafood-stuffed crab cakes. The menu balances traditional seafood preparations with modern culinary techniques for both presentation and flavor.
Private Dining
Four distinct private spaces accommodate groups from 6 to 130 guests with customizable menus and event planning. The Courtyard Room offers theater views for 120 guests, while the Wheeler Room provides intimate kitchen-side dining. Each space features audiovisual capabilities for corporate events. The dedicated catering team creates tailored experiences from pre-theatre dinners to formal banquets with full service coordination.
Catering
Custom catering services bring Bohanans' culinary excellence to off-site locations. Menus feature passed and display appetizers, carved meats, and plated entrees using the same premium ingredients as the restaurant. The executive chef collaborates with clients to create unique menus for weddings, corporate events, and private parties. Full-service coordination includes staffing, rentals, and event logistics planning.
Gift Cards
Physical gift cards presented in gold-embellished envelopes offer flexible gifting options for any occasion. Available in $50 minimum denominations, they provide access to the full dining experience including both restaurants and private events. The cards work as payment for food, beverages, and catering services, making them ideal for special celebrations or corporate gifting.
