"This Alamo Heights upscale standby has managed to weather dining trends despite its saltillo tile, dripping ivies, and deeply hued artwork that gives up its late 70s age. The secret is achingly fresh seafood and beef complimented by unfussy salads, crowd-pleasing sides, patisserie desserts, and a standard-setting brunch. And, of course, the restaurant has always been the place to catch up on San Antonio gossip. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Brandon Watson
