Zinc Bistro & Wine Bar
If you’re looking for great drinks and comfort food to match, this is a ‘sure thing’ for you and your loved one this Valentine’s Day.
Join Zinc and start off the evening with a bowl of lobster bisque, accompanied with a mix of greens topped off with a creamy goat cheese. FYI they also have a great menu full of pizzas, burgers and more for a more casual approach to dinner.
Francesca’s at Sunset
One of San Antonio’s premier restaurants at the La Cantera Hill Country Resort fully embodies elegance and sophistication. It’s intimate enough for you and your sweetheart.
Francesca’s at Sunset offers a great menu, including Roasted Black Cod, and Ribeye steaks paired with a red wine shallot jus. Or satisfy your sweet tooth, and indulge in Vanilla Butter Cake that is served with chocolate espresso and strawberries.
Cured
Make a stop at this charming charcuterie outfit in The Pearl this Valentine’s Day! The restaurant’s renovated historical building, built in 1904 as Pearl’s Administration Building, embodies the perfect blend of a contemporary and historical atmosphere.
Cured’s brand new menu offers a combination of plates, from a pan seared quail breast to their specialty cocktail “cured” with a combination of flavors, varying from ginger to thyme and mixed with a housemade citrus bitters.
Don’t miss this gem of a restaurant…what once was an old historic home located in La Villita. If you’ve never been, definitely put The Fig Tree toward the top of your list. Cozy, comfortable — with exquisite fare and impeccable service.
Try their Avocado Stuffed with Shrimp Louis, or the Beef Wellington a la Fig Tree Style (Bordelaise Sauce, Potatoes Mousseline, Asparagus). See more of their menu…Click Here.
Bliss
Put Southtown on the map this Valentine’s Day and stop by Bliss. Contemporary American cuisine is just what the love doctor ordered!
Bliss’ menu changes frequently with an emphasis on what is “seasonal and creative, over what is predictable and familiar.” Gush over their Gulf Red Snapper served with a shrimp and cilantro risotto…a menu standout as far as we’re concerned. If you’re a little more adventurous, go for the New Zealand Venison paired with Shiner Bock Sauerkraut.
Biga on the Banks
When you walk into Biga, you’re transported to another place entirely, surrounded by a warm color palate of reds, oranges, and brown tones. It sets the perfect atmosphere for sparks to fly!
Try the Lobster Ravioli as a starter and then move on to the Beef Tenderloin with the Baked Potato Gnocchi. Their four course prix fixed menu includes a complimentary glass of champagne. 😉
Paesanos Riverwalk
Paesanos is a San Antonio staple. Lust after a taste of Italian cuisine to say “I Love you” this Valentine’s Day.

Start with the Italian wedding soup, then move on to a Parmesan Crusted Chicken Breast or the classic Shrimp Paesano. Top the night off with their cheesecake drizzled with a strawberry and chocolate marmalade. So good, it shouldn’t be legal!
Overlook all of San Antonio’s from Aldaco’s Stone Oak unparalleled patio. It’s a gorgeous spot to toast to your significant other and enjoy some authentic Tex Mex cuisine…and some award-winning cocktails!
Break the ice with one of their legendary margaritas, and keep an eye out for several hometown favorites, to include the Steak Marisol or the Chile Relleno. A slice of Pastel Tres Leches or Flan will do just fine for dessert…

Yet another great restaurant inside The Pearl. This five-star Italian café features a great list of wines, cheeses and entrées. Kick things off at IL Sogno Osteria with their Olive Tapenade or Asparagus and Truffled Egg Salad. For your main squeeze? The Wild Mushroom Lasagna leaves you wanting more.

You couldn’t ask for better ambiance than the River Walk. Boudro’s Texas Bistro is a sensational spot to soak up this iconic San Antonio attraction, while dining on some of the best food in the heart of the city.
Entertain all evening with their famous Tableside Guacamole and from there, send for the Blackened Prime Rib or Mesquite Grilled Texas Quail.
