Considering it was one of Time Out Texas' Best of the City picks, it should come at no surprise that Isidore made the list. A fine-dining restaurant in the heart of San Antonio's Pearl Brewery complex, Isidore is here to redefining what Texas cuisine can be. From oysters engulfed in a strawberry cocktail sauce to lion's mane mushroom and wagyu bone-in strip steak, Isidore showcases the bounty of Texas in every dish. And if you have room for dessert, don't skip on the s'mores, an elevated take on this classic campfire treat. The chocolate mousse, graham cracker, toasted meringue and koji anglaise coalesce beautifully for the perfect sweet finish.
