The Westin La Cantera Resort complex, dominating a hill that overlooks Hill Country golf courses, the Fiesta Texas theme park and an upscale shopping enclave, is a citadel of conspicuous consumption. But that consumption now centers on altogether unpretentious local produce in an optional menu titled the Farm-to Table Experience. Echoes of former consultant Mark Miller may persist, but the Fredericksburg peach soup touts local fruits; local field greens come with Texas pecans and regionally made goat cheese; locavore tomatoes embellish an empanada; and, though they are hardly sourced nearby, Blue Hawaiian prawns are nevertheless accessorized with Texas mushrooms and an avocado oil from the Rio Grande Valley. The standard menu tips its hat more toward Mexico with the likes of guajillo-rubbed filets of beef and a corn crêpe lobster enchilada. Servers are well-trained, and the wine list offers plenty of bottles with the moxie to match full-throttle foods. The informative sommelier’s recommendations are bracketed within the voluminous document, in which wines are arranged by style.
