"Located in San Antonio's historic Pearl District, I found Isidore to be a stylish spot with a midcentury modern feel, an open kitchen and a live-fire hearth that underscore its clear focus on Texas ingredients and local traditions; it even incorporates Native American elements into the bread service. The large menu is built for sharing and includes a section dedicated to steak, and narrowing down snacks is tough — the popcorn chicken, crispy fried and served with popcorn aioli and velouté, is a good bet. A Cherokee tomato in house-made kombucha lets local produce shine, while the dry-aged Berkshire pork chop with a 23-spice sauce is another highlight; Texas wines are proudly showcased on the list and available in an optional pairing." - The MICHELIN Guide
