Frommer's Review

Not as well-known as many of San Antonio's glitzier culinary stars, this restaurant -- in the back of a Broadway strip mall -- can match them any day (or night). The setting is nothing special-white draperies and sunny antiqued walls lighten an otherwise dark room with a low ceiling. But once the food arrives at the table, you won't care if you're dining inside a concrete bunker.

For starters, consider tempura-battered sushi, (an oxymoron to the ear but a delight on the tongue); the delicate and crispy spring rolls of shrimp, pork, and mushrooms; or a zesty crab salad with avocado. Stellar entrees might include baked sea bass in truffle oil with artichoke hearts (yes, the restaurant's specialty is seafood). Call the cuisine Indochine -- it's a mix of French and Vietnamese -- or call it French fusion, as the menu does. I call it delicious.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
