Dining room at Liberty Bar, San Antonio, TXIt’s hard to imagine the Liberty Bar in any location other than its original tilted and twisted building, but move they did---to a converted convent in King William now painted unrepentant coral. The cuisine has undergone no conversion, however; its Texas and Mexican roots still show through at almost every turn, and the old clientele, high-toned and ultra-arty alike, have flocked to the different location. We revisited some old favorites in these digs, and found the goat cheese with piloncillo-morita sauce sweeter-seeming than before but still good and the accompanying house-made bread still worthy of hallelujahs. We also recommend the brace of grilled quail. We quibbled over the texture of some grilled sweetbreads, all the while thankful that they existed at all. The quirky wine list, not large but unique to a fault, still inspires devotion. And desserts transcend as before, with geranium cream and Virginia Green’s chocolate cake, the Platonic ideal of all things baked, foremost in the firmament.
