Tower of the Americas

[Mixability]

How's the restaurant? How's the rest?

I'm sad to say that in my 26 years on this earth and in San Antonio, I've NEVER been in the Tower, yeah shoot me.

I'm planning on taking my girlfriend sometime, but I just wanted to know whether I should be prepared for crappy food or good food?

I think it was the company that owns Landry's that took over the restaurant, so that's a start. I can't say I've been there with the new ownership.

I had only been there once - and that was when I was working as an intern at KENS - until I took this girl downtown on a first date about four years back (before Gina) and we went to the Tower. She had only been in SA for about a year, so she enjoyed it, even though it was mainly just a lounge to sit at and talk.

Anyway, that's a long-ass answer to a question you didn't ask.

Seriously, though, I think if you dig the Landry's places, you'll probably like The Tower.

There is also a 4D theatre ride now.

it's all right. a nice relaxing evening.

Never been to Landry's either, all I knew about that place when I was young was that it was the bar place next to the original Spurs shop at the Hemisfair. Ah, the good ol' days.

You know, neither have I.

Gina kinda liked the Rainforest Cafe, but she had been to the one at Disneyland and then she took her niece to the one here. Not bad on quality, but it was Landry's pricey.

They ed it up. The new glass up there sucks ass. I don't know how the new restraunt is, but the EN review sucked ass.

Landry's did buy the tower and it's restaurant "Eyes Over Texas", and finished a million dollar renovation about this time last year. The menu is similar to a Landry's Seafood House but more upscale - featuring Aussie lobster tails, chops, and more steak options.

Landry's bought them in '02.

What's "Landry's pricey"?

[CubanMustGo]

The menu is limited and pricey. They used to have the prices posted on the website but they came off very quickly after opening.

You're going for the experience of eating in a dining room that is rotating 600' over the city of SA ... so you are going to pay for it.

I'm expecting it to be kinda pricey for the atmosphere, but I just want to be prepared if I have to pay for a Fuddruckers and get a Jumbo Jack.

what the is a 4d theatre ride? how is it any different than a 3d theatre ride?

According to Tripadvisor.com reviews the price range is $41-$80.

have fun eating your over priced Jims food while you look down at the poverty of the east side and the unfinished housing projects. But it's not all bad, you get to think about that long ride down on that rickity elevator with those rusty cables from 1968.
have fun!

[Hooters Girl]

Make sure you take lots of pictures so Buddy Holly will have something to masterbate too.

[angel_luv]

I have a friend who works there. He says it is really nice- that Landry's did a great job with the place and food.
You should check it out.

Ditto.

I'd like to go sometime soon.

I guess Dirk missed the whole "bought by Landry's" part of the thread.

I'm surprised a foul wasn't called on Bowen for Dirk missing a post.

He has no time. He is always at the clubs and drinking Patron.

[midgetonadonkey]

How much do they charge to get up there?

No time and no money, because of the club.

[Silver21_Black20]

I think it is $6 to go up to the Observation Deck.

Which is all I'd want to do. I could find a better restaurant to go to with a more reasonably priced menu.
