Bruce Auden's award-winning BIGA ON THE BANKS is located in a spectacular setting in downtown San Antonio's modern International Center. Overlooking a romantic tree-canopied bend in the river, the historic and the new find common ground in Biga's dynamic re-emergence with ultra contemporary cuisine propelling San Antonio's recent ascent to a new level of River Walk dining. Gourmet Magazine named Biga one of the five best restaurants in Texas. Fine dining has never meant "fussy" to Chef Auden. Biga's ambiance is casual and relaxed - San Antonio style. Auden's celebrated culinary background, coupled with creative and energetic design, has marked Biga on the Banks as one of Texas' truly outstanding restaurants.

Not very impressive. The food was good but at $160 for two (no cocktails)we expected the food to be very good. The oilskin table cloth instead of linen should have given us a clue. Had to ask for bread to be served. "Award winning" wine list was pretty pricy too.

My friends and I were out on the town. It was "girls night." First stop was Biga's and really the night could have ended there! We had the best time! The food was scrumptious. The service was incredible. We were running late and had to change our reservation (more than twice)and the staff was very helpful. They didn't turn us away. They took care of us from the first moment we walked through the door. We even talked about returning with our husbands and the waiters told us about their "special" private tables. It was a great night! I'm sorry other reviewers didn't have the same experience, but one has to wonder: were they at the same place?

What a great meal..AND worth the price. My husband said the veal chop was the best he has ever eaten. They even had a Semmion on the wine list, a variety difficult to find in the USA.
