San Antonio - Entertaining Clients

[jmbrightman]

Law firm from the east coast is hosting a conference - money no object - entertaining clients during conference - short walk or cab ride from Grand Hyatt Hotel? All suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Biga on the Banks! On the Riverwalk, gorgeous, great food. I grew up in San Antonio and my sister even staged there before culinary school, so I've been many times and always come away happy. Too bad La Reve closed, not that it's in the right nabe but still: pretty great Dover sole for S. Texas. A lot of those Riverwalk restaurants are cheeseball but Biga's a winner. Try the fried oyster app or the game packets, if they're still on the menu. And be prepared for TX-sized portions. Even in fine dining you just get a ton of food down there.

Hate to disagree, but we ate at Biga a month or so ago and thought it was truly mediocre. I wish I could tell you a great place to go, but we didn't find one in the weekend we were there.

Boudro's is on Commerce, not too far from the Hyatt. Haven't been in a couple of years, but it used to be reliably good: http://www.boudros.com/boudros/

unfortunately nothing in the river area will fit your bill, since Le Reve closed. If you do not mind a short cab ride, go to Silo. We had a very good if not spectacular meal there a couple weeks ago.
