We had an incredible evening at Savor, opting for the four-course meal with wine pairings—highly recommended. The food was creative and beautifully prepared, with highlights including the confit rabbit, smoked boar, oxtail dumplings, and a fantastic cheesecake with plums. A couple of the other dishes seemed heavy on the salt, but overall, the experience was excellent. Preston, our graduating server, was wonderful. Truly, the whole team was thoughtful and accommodating. Can’t wait to go back for both the cuisine and the hospitality!

New Braunfels

About the restaurant

"Where craft meets quality. An evening at Sidecar, located in the heart of New Braunfels at the historic Prince Solms Inn, is like stepping back in time. The ambiently lit speakeasy features an extensive whiskey selection, live jazz and fantastic tapas. Whether you're enjoying the live music downstairs or imbibing in one of the private party rooms upstairs, the beauty of the building does not disappoint."

La Cantera

About the restaurant

*2024 Michelin Recommended*

If you find yourself dreaming of the Texas Hill Country, savory comforts, spice, and the sultry depth of a fine Burgundy, you’ll be pleased to know about Signature at La Cantera Resort & Spa.

The menu is straightforward and beguiling, featuring contemporary interpretations of classic dishes — fresher, brighter versions of traditional cuisine enlivened with unconventional Texas spirit. Gulf seafood conspires with Atlantic Coast oysters flown in fresh, and the Hill Country is well-represented year-round. Local and organic ingredients change the menu as the seasons peak and wane, but the constants are quality, flavor, artistry in the kitchen and a warm welcome when you walk in the door.
