Hello all!
I grew up in San Antonio and go back regularly, but I'll be headed back tomorrow for a quick work trip with my husband. We are planning to have a date night. I just want good food--I'm 35 weeks pregnant so a bar isn't the thing at the moment, or sushi sadly. My husband does like a good craft beer, so that would be a bonus. Normally we have our toddler when we come to town so we rarely eat out anymore. Hence why I don't know any good new places! :-)

We like to eat just about anything (including asian of all kinds, seafood, indian, Mexican of course), but would like to try a new or established really good place that isn't high end on the price range. Doesn't have to be on the river, but we don't mind going downtown. Haven't been anywhere down by the Pearl other then the Tuk Tuk Tap Room (which was good, just want to try another place)--anything down there you guys like? We're staying near the medical center, so as long as it's not far out like Bulverde or the south side we're good.

Thanks for any advice!

My wife and I have really enjoyed Whiskey Cake at la cantera. It doesn't have a huge menu, but what they do have has always been excellent. It's a farm-to-table type restaurant but fancier then your home cooking places. The have a big beer selection and an extensive menu of whiskey drinks. The appetizers and desert can't be passed up either.

I had the steak taco and the breaded chicken taco and they were both absolutely amazing. Very decently priced as well and easy parking.

Thanks y'all! We ended up at Tacos and Tequila. Really good food and just the right amount. We will have to try the happy hour deal sometime. Thank you for all the recommendations! I've made a list for the future.

On another note--Tuk Tuk Taproom looked closed? Sad news! We liked it when we went last year. :-/

Tuk Tuk is indeed closed. Didn't seem like they tried very hard.

I was pleasantly surprised when we tried it.

Really liked Tacos & Tequila, but its pretty low key for a date night. I'd try Southerleigh.

I know this is an old thread, but if you want something very unique and intimate look at the Fig Tree.
