Sometimes I walk without my dogs. This week it is in San Antonio. I walked for exercise and to experience the culture. I also walked to get places. I spent my share of time walking to restaurants. I'm not a restaurant critic but I do visit my share and I am a decent cook. I will share what I have experienced in San Antonio.
Usually, before I visit anywhere, I get restaurant recommendations from The Commissioner. He wines and dines clients on the company tab all over the states and outside the states and even in South Africa. I forgot this time so I was on my own.
Prices: Prices were all reasonable for every meal in every place. Much lower than most of the cities I have recently visited. In San Francisco, I believed the restaurant owners should be put on that island in the bay.
Service: All the service was efficient and friendly. Most of it was extremely slow. I like to drink the wine and visit with Caring Kim so I rarely notice the speed of the service. In San Antonio I noticed.
Food: Most everything was prepared uniquely with a variety of ingredients not normally used together. That was very exciting. Every presentation was artistic and appetizing. I truly enjoyed the way all food was organized on the plate. Just about everything I ate was more bland than I expected and everything was over-cooked. Ray Charles would not have enjoyed my meals.
I know that if you live in Iowa, you should not order beef in Texas but even the mussels were over cooked and bland. You don't suppose Texas has free range mussels?

Are you still in SA? We should meet up! That's only an hour and a half drive from here.
