The view is great, but for about $10 you can buy a ticket to the ride the elevator to the top of the tower instead of $180 for dinner for three. The seafood fondue appetizer is just a plate of melted ... more on TripAdvisor

This is one of those experiences that you do just for the experience. It was fun to be up above SA spinning around, watching the view change every few minutes. Because of that, we were willing to over ... more on TripAdvisor

My husband and I had a belated anniversary dinner. Menu was difficult to see in the dark. Good thing the waiter had an LED penlight. Music was a tad too loud. Special lettuce wedge with blue cheese dr ... more on TripAdvisor

The food was terrible. The waitress acted like she was doing us a favor and not the other way around. Do yourself a favor. Take ... more on TripAdvisor

Despite the amazing view from the tower, our group of friends was quite unimpressed with the bar area at the Chart House restaurant. The server was impolite and failed to wipe the table off from the p ... more on TripAdvisor

Yes the view is great but although they make a big deal about the fact that you can stay up there as long as you want what they neglect to tell you is that you can't get down until THEY come back up!!! So I was stuck up there with ... more on Yahoo! Travel

My experience at the tower of the americas was just the best ever! It is worth every penny! more on Yahoo! Travel

We had a delightful experience at this restaurant. The food was wonderful! Can't wait to go back and try other items ... more on Yahoo! Travel

Wonderful!!!! We also went to an art museum, Mi Tierra, and the Eyes over Texas restuarant on top of the Tower of Americas! ... more on Yahoo! Travel

The veiw was beautiful, but I don't think that the food was worth the price. It seems like you are paying for the view. The food was accually my ... more on Yahoo! Travel

The view of San Antonio can't be beat, but for $10 you can go up the tower and skip the restaurant. We had a small group, the food took over 1 1/2 hours to get to our table. Some of the food was so salty that it was inedible, ... more on Yahoo! Travel

Our recent visit to the Tower of the Americas was awesome. I am not usually a fan of heights but it was a great experience. If you are scared of heights I would definitely recommend staying away from the glass window on the elevator ... more on Yahoo! Travel
