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.

Everything was perfect! The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and it came out very fast. My only comment is that there was a lot of noise, my husband and I couldn’t have a conversation because of the loud noise and it was only the both of us at the table. Overall, AMAZING!!! No complaints, will come back soon.

What a great hidden gem this is! They have an outstanding array of liquors and signature drinks. Jordan, the bartender, was phenomenal. Not only was he personable, but he mixes a mean cocktail (a necessity before dinner). We’ll definitely be back.

Second time eating here and was outstanding again. Beautiful space inside or out. East coast oysters were excellent and loved the mignonette. The lobster bisque was richly flavored but could have been a little warmer. I had the lobster tail and it was cooked perfectly and so huge I would recommend sharing. Would highly recommend!
