Food Scene

Upscale Mexican restaurant 2 blocks from the Inn. Great Brunch menu and AWESOME enchiladas and fish tacos. If you want a great margarita, I would grab one here, too.

A local spot less than a mile up the street on North Saint Mary's. Great brunch, good wine, quirky and low-key vibe. Good place to start the evening if you are looking for a night on the town.

One of the better options on the Riverwalk, the others tend to be tourist traps. Table side guacamole, blackened prime rib, prickly pear margaritas. On the high-end side, so this restaurant is great for anniversaries, proposals, or special dates.

One of the top bakeries in America- French and American fusion with nostalgic twists. Their Cereal Milk and S'More Macarons are to DIE for! If the line is too crowded, there is a to-go window on the outside where you can grab a quick pastry and coffee!

James Beard nominated- great atmosphere and avant garde dishes. Best lunch in my opinion. Dinner can be pricey, but it will be well worth it.
