Romantic Restaurants in San Antonio: Top Picks

San Antonio is a great place to spend a romantic evening with your loved one. The balmy hot weather, friendly ambiance, beautiful buildings and landscape are a winning combination. Not to mention the food! Here are five top picks for romantic restaurants in San Antonio.

The Palm is a popular choice among romantic restaurants in San Antonio. It is located at 223 E. Houston Street. Well known for steak, this restaurant also serves delicious seafood, chicken and vegetable dishes. Try the Caesar salad for a lighter option. A cost effective option is the Prime Bites Menu. During 'Prime Time' Monday through Friday 4:30 to 6:30 pm and 9:00 until closing, this menu costs just $3.50 a plate.

The Grey Moss Inn is at 19010 Scenic Loop Road in Helotes. The setting is positively setting, sheltered by giant Texas Oaks. It is a great way to get away from things and enjoy a relaxing and cozy dinner. The menu is hearty with some Texas classics such as Roasted Texas Quail, Praline Parfait and of course, steak. Also check out the wine list which is the centrepiece to regular wine tastings.

Fig Tree Restaurant is located at 515 Vilita Street. Located in a quiet location along the river walk. Choose from a lovely array of seafoods, steaks, salads and vegetable dishes. My personal favorite is the Jumbo Gulf Shrimp cocktail.

Fondue is a romantic classic so this list has to include at least one representation from San Antonio. The Melting Pot is located at 14855 Blanco Road #10. It is a fun place to go as a couple and choose from sweet and savory fondues.

The French are masters of romantic cooking and ambiance. You won't be disappointed by La Normandie Restaurant at 1302 Fiorella Street in Castroville. The cooking not only reasonably priced but authentic and delicious.

The Vineyards Restaurant at Garden Ridge is located on a hilltop above beautiful countryside. The restaurant also hosts parties and events and will be running a special menu for Valentine's Day. The aged fillet of beef tenderloins is irresistible and costs $29.00.

If you are a vegetarian, most of the restaurants above offer vegetarian options as well as soups and salads. Search for them on the internet to find detailed menus. It makes sense to book as early as possible for a romantic dinner, particularly on holidays such as Valentine's Day.
