Amazing service and food! We had family in town and wanted to bring some fine wines to share with them. Our server Mary G. (And others) made our experience so lovely. We felt like we were in our own dining room at home with 5 star food and service. They allowed us to linger as long as we needed to since it was a slower weeknight. Thank you Bliss!

The food and service were excellent. The food had unique and delicious flavors. The staff was very friendly and helpful with making order suggestions. The restaurant was a bit tight and loud at times but the food is excellent and well worth the visit.

We had an incredible evening at Savor, opting for the four-course meal with wine pairings—highly recommended. The food was creative and beautifully prepared, with highlights including the confit rabbit, smoked boar, oxtail dumplings, and a fantastic cheesecake with plums. A couple of the other dishes seemed heavy on the salt, but overall, the experience was excellent. Preston, our graduating server, was wonderful. Truly, the whole team was thoughtful and accommodating. Can’t wait to go back for both the cuisine and the hospitality!

Wonderful garden-side dining experience! Zanzaberg Tavern made my friend’s birthday so special. The Croque Madame, escargot, and quiche were all outstanding—rich, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff was warm and attentive, and special thanks to Will, the mixologist, for his delicious spicy margaritas. A memorable Brunch experience from start to finish!

La Cantera

About the restaurant

*2024 Michelin Recommended*

If you find yourself dreaming of the Texas Hill Country, savory comforts, spice, and the sultry depth of a fine Burgundy, you’ll be pleased to know about Signature at La Cantera Resort & Spa.

The menu is straightforward and beguiling, featuring contemporary interpretations of classic dishes — fresher, brighter versions of traditional cuisine enlivened with unconventional Texas spirit. Gulf seafood conspires with Atlantic Coast oysters flown in fresh, and the Hill Country is well-represented year-round. Local and organic ingredients change the menu as the seasons peak and wane, but the constants are quality, flavor, artistry in the kitchen and a warm welcome when you walk in the door.

Emma was a great server. She knew her stuff and enhanced the experience. The peppercorn rolls were unbelievable. The fruit tray for the water was a nice touch along with the dessert tasting. Would definitely recommend.
