What a special place and special people that run it, the ambiance and the overall feel was magical and just so special and the food was phenomenal! Everything about the experience from arrival to our late night exit after a wonderful conversation with the chef and owner that truly made the whole experience 5 star…I so recommend this dining 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.

This place is always amazing. From the time you enter the host are attentive and professional. Wait staff is a pleasure to work with and management is very hands on checking in several times during our meal to ensure everything was okay. One of our meals was prepared incorrectly but was resolved immediately and then followed up by a complimentary dessert for the inconvenience without having to ask. This place takes customer service seriously and it shows throughout the entire establishment.

Great restaurant! Staff was so kind, server Xavier was excellent, warm, welcoming and helped us decide what to order! I highly recommend their sausage! It was absolutely delicious - perfectly seasoned and tender!! Tasted more like steak than your typical sausage patty. Dublin Cherry Limeade was a great drink!

Went for our small office luncheon and it was so good. We all had something great to say about the flavor. It’s not overwhelming in seasoning but full of flavor!!! Must try again!
