We had a great experience dining at Bliss. The food (appetizers, salads, main course and dessert) was all delicious and our server, Candice, was cordial, patient and attentive throughout our stay. I highly recommend you add Bliss to your culinary destination list!

We really enjoyed the food, but it was very warm in the building . We like to have coffee or a cappuccino with dessert after dinner and we just couldn’t stay any longer. We all said we’d like to go back, but won’t until fall/winter.

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.
