Valeria Farm to Table Restaurant

Very quaint and nice ambiance! I was disappointed in the size of my shrimp dish but my husband’s chicken was a nice portion. I wish the waitress would have recommended a salad. The Tuscan wine was great and the chocolate cake was just ok. Good for a nice date night in Boerne.

Second time. Very good food, but slow and cumbersome service and a little over-​priced. A bit of a weird vibe.

Fantastic gem to find on our day in Boerne. One of those small restaurants that is much, much better than the location suggests. Had the best bowl of soup of my life here, rutabega and cardamom I believe… Fantastic pizzas, great Italian dishes, and a good wine selection. Eat here.

Mushroom plate was phenomenal, fennel salad was amazing. Beets and pasta were very good. No disappointments at all. Don’t be scared away by the strip mall front and don’t be in a hurry. You won’t be sorry.

We had an exceptional dining experience at Valeria’s. The food was superb and the service equally so. Karen was a wonderful server. Very friendly and awesome attitude. Loved how she paid special attention to our son. Like he was taking mom and dad out to dinner. We loved it. They also have an incredible wine selection. Mostly Spanish and Italian, but very good options. Hope to be back soon. By the way, the pizza is really good. Easy to make this our pizza and wine go to.

Wonderful food and great staff. The owner came out and greeted us, then talked about his concept. Our two kids really loved it as well. Casual and fun atmosphere, but still very nice for a night out. Wine selection is amazing, they import several from Italy and Europe. Great job!

I had to give 5 stars on the burger alone. Remember Marshall’s quest for the best hamburger in New York on ‘How I Met Your Mother?’ I decided to start my own quest in the San Antonio area, but I didn’t get far, hell, I only got about 2 miles from my house! Yes, it’s 16 $ for the burger and fries, all homemade mind you, including the ketchup*. Worth… every…penny.
Farm to table means an inconsistent menu. It changes daily based on what is available. I have noticed the three times I was there, all within a matter of a month, the menu had indeed changed each time, but the burger was always there. It’s my understanding that you can always get the burger and pizza any day, as well as their tomato basil soup. The burger changes though. One day I had some awesome butter lettuce and a thick, homemade potato bun included, another day the lettuce was more of a crunch slaw like lettuce and the potato bun, while still home-​made, was somewhat thinner and included poppy seeds. Both were glorious. One hint, if you get the burger, make sure you stress to the server how you want it cooked.
Service is great, I’ve only once seen more than one server, it’s a small place and not crowded, though the tables are. It is in a location that is known for restaurants to fail, and I sincerely hope they break that tradition or find a new home. If you are in a hurry to eat, and they do have lunch specials, let the server know immediately, otherwise your meal could take awhile.
Other food I have had is the garlic bread, that actually has sliced garlic on it, my one year old loves it! The crab crake entrée that I have only seen once on the menu, and the margherita pizza; they were all exceptional. I did not care for the tomato basil soup which is a customer favorite, but I’m not a fan of soup anyway.
Food great, service very, very nice, but slow. Environment is mellow and kid friendly. The server/​host I’ve had each time is so very friendly, and sensitive to needs. Again, if time is an issue, let him know.
*I tried to make ketchup recently, Valeria’s is what I hoped mine to be… instead of a crockpot of vinegar smelling liquid.
I also rated 3 dollar signs, but that’s because I usually have two glasses of wine :)

I met the owner on my fist visit. You will too. And his wife and you will probably be seated by his daughter. This is a family owned and run restaurant with really good food. The owner is the chef and has a menu that is constantly changing based on ingredients. Truly farm to table. Every thing is fresh and delicious. We have been for both lunch and dinner and food is always great.
But, there is something about Boerne restaurants (except for a couple, see other reviews) that think all it takes for a restaurant is food. Service is paramount for a dining experience, especially if you are going to charge fine dining prices. But like many restaurant, Valeria does not have great service. During lunch I have seen a single server try and cover the entire restaurant. And they wait staff they have is not well trained. If I am going to pay $ 20 – 30 for an entrée, I expect great food and great service. That’s part of what you are paying for. If this place wow’d me with service, I would be a more frequent customer.

I was really impressed with the food here. We were hungering for good burgers and we found them. Also, tried some great wines.
My only suggestions would be to make the outside as good as the inside. Valeria Farm to Table couldn’t be in a less counter-​intuitive location – a business section with a couple of restaurants and a bank. Enclose the outside area with some plants and you are set.
Also, we got a menu that did not include burgers, but we were so desperate we asked and sure enough, they were available. I think this place could benefit from a comprehensive lunch menu.
Pros: Boerne shuts down at the nicer places after 2 p.m. between lunch and dinner and this place is open continuously. If you like good food, go to this place!
The food is top-​notch, and the wine list is really great. The wines we tried were really interesting. We actually bought a bottle at retail price. What a treat.
Burgers — off the chain.
Appetizers: Eggplant appetizer-​delish.
Got a chance to chat with the owner, and will definitely be coming back for special dinners and tastings. If you are a Boerne resident, or from San Antonio, you need to support this place. The weird location can throw you off, but it is really, really good food.

Driving through town at noon we thought we’d try the local farm to table restaurant for lunch. Reviews were all awesome. First thing the waiter said was that they had run out of sauce and they wouldn’t be able to make pizzas for at least 30min. I’m not real sure how a pizza place runs out of sauce but that probably shouldn’t happen. Our pasta carbonara was good but HUGE, enough for two people to share. More lunch options would be nice

The quality of the food is outstanding. We sampled cod, pork, burger and pizza. Every dish blows aways every other comparable dish I’ve had at other restaurants in greater San Anotonio. I am very fortunate to have this quality food in Boerne. Professional, great food, in Boerne yet. I just love it.

Excellent food, good service and a very interesting menu selection. All locally sourced ingredients, I highly recommend a visit.

I love the idea of eating clean, local, and fresh and I don’t mind paying a little extra to give my body (and my family) what I believe we should be eating. I am happy to support the effort for «farm to table» in little ol’ Boerne Texas! It’s refreshing to have a healthy alternative in this town with insanely fresh greens and veggies, doughs from scratch, and organic, free range (mostly local, TX) meats and cheeses. I actually just made my Unilocal account so I could give them the awesome review they deserve. The staff was super friendly, especially Karen (who is also fabulously entertaining!), professional and courteous. The pizza is made in front of you and cooked in a wood-​fired oven… it’s amazing.
I only left off one star because of the Paella, which I tried tonight with my husband. The price is hefty at $ 38, so we assumed it would serve two, which it did. However, I ended up eating my sons pizza instead because it truly lacked luster and from my experience (eating Paella in Spain) was not quite done right… or at least not done according to the traditional method. I was very sad because I truly was hoping it would be amazing and I would now have a local spot to relish one of my favorite dishes for those special occasions when I must have a taste of Spain. Way too much liquid in the bottom of the pan, which to me indicated it didn’t stew for the correct amount of time. The flavor also seemed «watered down» rather than rich and slightly spicy as I was expecting.
Other than that, I am a fan of this lovely place!!! Definitely worth a visit. Freshness you can taste and guilt free if you care about where your food comes from

After recommendations form friends finally decided to try this place out. Its hidden in a strip mall in Boerne
Nice open décor with very friendly staff. All farm to table dishes. Chef stopped by to chat!
We had a wonderful fresh gazpacho. Flavorful and refreshing. Then we had the Paella. It’s worth the wait. Authentic, Spanish rice with plenty of seafood and Spanish chorizo. Tasted great
The mimosas were excellent. The wine list has great variety as well
Highly recommended. We will be back!

Summer. Pizza oven is shut down because it throws off too much heat. Hamburger and fries, $ 16. Gnocchi in creamy pesto, $ 14. Spaghetti carbonara, $ 16. Pasta entrees without bread or salad. For $ 16 I want a piece of bread, dammit.
(I would pay those prices without flinching in an upscale restaurant in a city. I would pay more. Mario Batali could charge me twice that and I would lick my plate. But this is a not-​awesome mid-​scale restaurant in Boerne. The overall experience just doesn’t justify the price.)
Gnocchi was solid, but it worked out to about $ 2 per gnoc. Carbonara lacked creaminess, heartiness, garlickiness; «Berkshire bacon» (maybe; looked like ³⁄₈ inch diced ham to me) sat at the bottom of the bowl.
Iced tea was excellent, for what it’s worth.
They added window shades, which is good. Waiter was competent and pleasant. Not many folks there. The price point may be hurting them – everything is $ 3 or $ 4 above where it should be.

We have been wanting to try this place and we’re happy we did. The service was friendly & comfortable. The owner came out and helped us chose our wine. My husband wasn’t too hungry so we opted for a light dinner. Ordered the caprese salad with homemade fresh local tomatoes… I licked the plate clean! Also got the farfelle pasta with fresh tomatoes & basil. Delisioso! Was light and tasty. We will make this a regular spot.

Very good experience. Best meal we’ve had yet since our move to the area. Location is a little questionable and the build out is nothing fancy, but after all… you go to a restaurant to EAT! We had Pasta Carbonara and it it rivaled the best I’ve had. Also ordered steak entrée and the Bordelaise sauce was amazing. Worth a try… just don’t judge a book by its cover. Read the book. You’ll enjoy it. Oh yeah, my wife just said the food was amazing. And don’t miss out on Mrs. Kuhn’s homemade pies. We ate every bite!

Today we went for the pizza. Pepperoni. It was very good. The crust was not doughy and not super crisp, just right. The pepperoni was delicious and plentiful. Not your usual garden variety pepperoni.
Asked for a side salad. Yes, they offer one. No, they don’t have ranch dressing. Just Caesar and Greek something. Bummer. They accidentally made the full size salad, but charged us for the side size. So, OK.
Best of all — true to their word (recall I told you how they said they’d make a lemon meringue pie if they knew I was coming). I called on Tuesday and told them we’d be there on Thursday and yes, a lemon meringue pie was waiting. So good!

My wife and I were looking for a healthy lunch and found a great-​tasting one, too! We had the Steak Diane and a Salmon dish. Both came with potatoes (mine fried, hers probably as well but seasoned with Rosemary). What impressed me was that the potatoes were fried in olive oil — they spared no expense.
We also chose the carrot cake for dessert (we had to reward ourselves for choosing healthy at lunch!) It was fabulous, too!
I’m grateful that there is a restaurant out there that allows us to prioritize health in our eating. Typically, in order to eat like this we have to stay home. It is nice to give my wife a break and not sacrifice our bodies for it. Staff is knowledgeable and hard-​working. Worth every penny! Thank you for this treat — please keep up the great work!

Seriously, the best restaurant in Boerne. Every night is a new menu of amazing things. I could eat here every night.
The Burrata w/​pesto and warm flat bread is an amazing starter. The chief will cook the homemade flatbread in front of you in his pizza oven
Each night’s menu is based in the chief and his family’s travels around Europe with a few local favorites thrown in. The worst part of this whole experience is I have to only pick one of them items on the menu.
