Work took me to San Antonio for a work conference, and the fed us well for sure.
They have a coffee bar/ bar-bar. So in the morning, you can get your cappuccino, at night you can get a strong drink, the bartenders are quite generous with the liquor.
The Las Ramblas is a restaurant right by the river, so you can enjoy the view sitting out at the patio. I will warn you too that is also where the smokers sit as well.
First night, I had the onion soup, broccolini and some chicken with chirozo, and braised beef.
Second day, I had their chicken, pork, and spinach and green beans.
If you get a chance to order their chicken, they are done very well, and you should definitely try that.
This was the peanut butter mousse. Unfortunately, it doesn't taste as good as it looked. It was heavy hand-ed on the peanut butter, so it's more dense than the mousse.
Here we have the minty flan, which taste different. The other one is the raspberry chocolate tart, it's a bit bitter than what you'd expect. There was one night that they served a mini cup of chocolate fondue and they gave you fruit to dip, which is nice.
As I was saying, they have tapas for order and sharing. They also have the free range chicken I was mentioning earlier. Definitely order some. They do not serve Coke products, so go in be prepared. You can definitely sit outside and enjoy the nice weather and the Riverwalk, definitely try to enjoy that.
You can also sit outside the restaurant area, which becomes the bar area and they do have nice food for bar menu. Try their sliders, it comes with fries and they are not too filling and definitely goes well with the alcohol!
Of course, you're down the river from alot of other eateries and bars. Above ground, you are close to an oyster bar and Hard Rock Cafe. You won't go starving.
