About the restaurant

La Cosecha is a local neighborhood Mexican restaurant. La Cosecha or " The Harvest" is a brevity of our stance to bring forward dishes inspired from interior Mexican cuisine; all while utilizing seasonal and local Texas ingredients. The menu centers around sharable dishes, progressing from small to large, with intentions to create a family setting at the dinner table. The food and drink invites you to experience familiar comforts, as well as original flavors, all to tell a story that is modest yet thoughtful.

About the restaurant

Gonzales Bistro is an upscale restaurant that makes its home near the very heart of Independence square. We are the only restaurant by the square with prime & waygu aged steaks, fresh seafood, New England oysters. The bistro offers a Wine Spectator Magazine award winning wine list, craft cocktails including house made Tiki drinks. Our reputation is based on repeat diner loyalty not marketing.

Gonzales Bistro changes menus often in order to take advantage of local, seasonal products. Chef Parind's food has big flavors & is seasoned assertively, yet is nuanced, complex, and most importantly, balanced.

Come join us and experience big city dining without all the hassles. Gonzales Bistro is a intimate space with an open kitchen, wood ceilings, framed by great black & white pictures from a bygone era while the charming independence square offers free parking, wide open spaces & vistas of historic buildings. Nearby parks, art galleries and shopping define the sophistication of Gonzales.

Macadoo’s was absolutely amazing! From the moment we looked at the menu, we knew we were in for a great meal. Honestly, I had the hardest time deciding what to order because everything sounded so good. The menu has so many delicious options that narrowing it down was nearly impossible and somehow the food exceeded our expectations anyway! Every bite was incredible, and it’s clear that a lot of care goes into the food here. The atmosphere was welcoming and enjoyable, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal. A special shoutout to Paige, our server, who was phenomenal. She was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and made our experience even better. Great food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere, we’ll definitely be back!

Enjoyed the best night, service, ambiance and food. Ana did an amazing job of making suggestions and accommodating our food allergies, and there was no judgement when we wanted a little bit of everything. The wings were delicious, the dill pickle sauce for the fries, my new favorite. GF flatbread pizza, salad, everything was perfect. Only disappointment was they were out of spumoni ice cream for dessert. We will keep coming back and keep recommending. Thank you for an excellent experience and evening.

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."

Same-day reservations aren’t available at Sidecar, but walk-ins are always welcome! Just because you can’t make a reservation doesn’t mean you can’t join us that evening. If there’s a wait, we can add you to our call list for the next available table. In the meantime, we invite you to relax in the Parlour Bar - a walk-up, first-come, first-served bar featuring Sidecar’s classic cocktails (please note, food service is not currently available in the Parlour Bar) — open Friday and Saturday from 5–11pm.

Food & wine were delicious, and the property is so pretty! With it being Texas, my only suggestion would be more fans in the outdoor dining space. Other than that, I will definitely be going back regularly!
