| Executive chef Jesse Perez hails from San Antonio, Tex., and should know this region's cooking style thoroughly. Perez has added some successful ideas of his own to the menu. The reconfigured queso fundido comes in a hot earthenware casserole with tortilla triangles. There are three flavors, but the smoked shrimp and corn salsa stays well within the theme profile. We like the way seafood is treated here, especially sea bass, which frequently sells out early on weekends. Lamb comes with a unique succotash, composed of legumes and other vegetables. Desserts are rather ho-hum beyond the restaurant's signature B & B Cube, a rich chocolate affair, but the Key lime pie is tasty, albeit thematically alien to this cuisine. The wine list is improved, but, except for a white Zinfandel, there is no rosé on the list, which is ideal with this food. Bring one and pay a corkage fee of $15. It’s worth it. Sangría includes a dash of port, elevating its alcohol quotient up to the hefty level for the genre, and there is a selection of beers as well. The bar menu offers chile-rubbed ribs, but they’re oven-cooked and quite flabby in texture, thus unacceptable to the barbecue purist. |
