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.

This restaurant was great! Service was wonderful…very attentive server! The food was delicious! Beginning with the Oysters and Caviar and the Octopus, going on to the Axis Deer, and ending with the EggNog Creme Brulee…..each dish was tasty, and beautifully presented! The extra touches….the soup, the bread,butter, sorbet, and the cookie tray were all very special! The restaurant itself is very tastefully decorated…in a beautiful location! A great evening!!
