 Bruce Auden is the dean of contemporary cuisine in San Antonio; he introduced us to it and he helps keep it thriving with a contemporary menu that retains its Asian and Latino influences as it continues to benefit from the use of local produce. The airy dining room with its perch over the River Walk is a fine frame for starters such as duck confit bao buns or barbecue lamb shank “open-face" ravioli. And it also defers to more profound plates like the seared red grouper with chipotle grits and Hill Country venison chops. We like the wine list, heavily but not parochially domestic, as much for its straightforward eclecticism (“really big wines” anyone?) as for its reasonably gentle pricing. Wines by the glass, taken at the bar with appetizers, are a pleasant possibility. And we admit to being inordinately fond of the sticky toffee pudding with English custard that betrays the chef’s London upbringing. |
