Wow. Already one of the top five restaurants in San Antonio and one of the top three steakhouses. Stunning setting professional service and outstanding food. One of the best wine lists in the city. Thoroughly enjoyed my Manhattan, followed by the crab cake, bread service, filet mignon, and Dover sole. And get this, for the month of September 2024, all of the food is 50% off Monday through Thursday but you MUST book a reservation to qualify!

Dining at *Chama Gaúcha* was exceptional from start to finish. The service was outstanding—our server warmly welcomed us and ensured we understood the dining style. The gauchos brought a perfect variety of meats, each cooked and seasoned to perfection, with attentive service throughout. The salad bar was fresh and diverse, complementing the meal nicely. The elegant yet welcoming ambiance made it ideal for any occasion. The staff’s attention to detail truly elevated the experience.

La Cantera

About the restaurant

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.
