Texas Treasure Sure to Please

Josephine St. - facade

When was the last time you visited a true Texas Roadhouse right in the center of town? There’s a little gem on the side of the road (and on the way to the rodeo) that locals have known about for years and visitors to San Antonio are always glad to find—Josephine Street Café.

Masraff's Sole

Sold On Masraff’s Lemon sole

The fabulous Masraff’s on Post Oak Boulevard in Uptown is practically a seafood sanctuary. They’re known for having some of the best around! The sacrificial season of Lent provides those who practice the opportunity for a taste-testing frenzy! Take this dish that combines some of my favorite elements- their Herb Seared Lemon Sole over an incredibly tasty wild mushroom risotto…just splendid!

The Creek Restaurant

A Delightful Restaurant with a View in Boerne!

It’s all about the nature here at The Creek Restaurant in Boerne. I urge you to get lost in this cozy little nook one afternoon or evening – it literally does sit on a creek! From the wild life to the wildly delicious food (they specialize in seafood that’s flown in fresh!), it’s a romance waiting to unfold for you and that special someone.
