This place is hands down amazing! They have a live jazz band playing while you are enjoying your meal. The atmosphere is swanky with a touch of class. The service is amazing and they went above and beyond to make my dining experience excellent. Super attentive wait staff, greeted with a friendly smile by the hostess, food was out in a prompt and timely manner. I had the bbq ribs which were super tender and melting in my mouth and my boyfriend had the pork chop which was perfectly cooked. There is not enough good to say about the nice time we were able to spend at this restuarant. Oh, and the dessert was soooooo good! We had the walnut apple pie cobbler which was rich and full or warm caramel...
I was lucky to find Bandera while I was in the area today and decided to give it a look for lunch. Wound up with seats at the chef’s bar because we didn’t have reservations, but that’s exactly where I would request to sit when I return again. Getting to watch the chefs prepare the food was a great experience all on its own. It helped us decide what we all wanted to eat especially after we watched him prepare an Oreo cookies and cream ice cream dessert in a bath of chocolate sauce. The service was great, the food was spectacular, and I’d recommend this to anyone.
Great place and staff. Food is delicious and the lounge atmosphere with the jazz band playing is great. We had the bread plate, the cheeseburger, and the ribs and everything was good and tasty. Just one thing weird : the bottle of diet coke is about half the size of the regular coke bottle for nearly the same price... Could have been good to have the option to get a full size bottle.
The waitering was absolutely amazing. Very kind and quite helpful with the suggestions of dinner choices. The ambiance was extremely cozy. A live jazz performance that made the night a more warming entertaining environment. The food, incredibly mouth watering. Absolutely delicious. Overall, it was a great experience and I highly recommend others to experience it.

Great food and amazing atmosphere. Had cheese burger which was very tasty, lamb sandwich was nicely seasoned and very tender. Seared ahi tuna salad was delicious too. They have live jazz music and the band was really good. We had to wait about 40 minutes as we didn't have a reservation, so it's better to reserve in advance. Service was very good too.
This place is pretty swank and the burger was excellent. Service was good. Prices reflect their location (pricey) and everything was just too dark for no reason. The band was pretty good though, and that was a neat experience. Bring someone here if they're a date that likes nice things; don't come here with a buddy.
5 Star, The Atmosphere was filled with happy people serving and bring plates to tables that makes your palate dance. I must say the salad vinaigrette was not over powering but just right with the crunchiness of almonds. The Salmon was cooked to flaky perfection. Bandera is on my MUST EAT list.
Upscale spot in the loop for American food. Lots of good fish options. I especially liked the Emerald Kale and Chicken Salad. They have live jazz music every day which is pretty cool, made the ambience a whole lot delightful. Service was quick and staff was very professional and welcoming.

Owned by the same group that owns the Los Altos Grill in the SF Bay area which I love it actually used to be called Bandera as well . Great food and the live jazz is a nice addition... We don't have that at the Bay Area location. Can't recommend this place enough.
Macho salad and grilled veggies are consistently delicious. The cornbread is super delicious but they need to take an extra minute mixing the batter. We had to send ours back twice because there were pockets of uncooked/unmixed cornmeal mix
