(From March 2009) On a recent return to this congenial downtown spot, we forewent the pleasure of the seafood and veal specials that invariably tempt us in favor of the featured steak offerings. And after sampling the rich tenderloin medallions, the juicy filet, and the full-flavored New York strip, we concluded that, as advertised, chef George Elizondo does indeed know his red meat. And that’s not all: Salads were crisp and cold; vegetables were thoughtfully prepared; and, as usual, the signature Katz Meow appetizer was an irresistible combination of sautéed shrimp and crabmeat served on toast points and dressed with béarnaise. Bar.

(From May 2009) Chef Francisco Jiménez and his team of excellent servers deliver food worthy of this showplace setting, which is quite possibly the most elegant dining room in South Texas. Although the menu displays a serious commitment to red meat and game, we were delighted with the seafood, starting with the luxe Iberia Bolsa de Mar: puff pastry purses filled with lobster, scallops, crab, and Manchego cheese and served with a champagne aioli. What followed kept pace: peppercorn-crusted ahi tuna in a creamy green curry and pan-seared filets of local flounder with a mildly picante jalapeño butter sauce. Bar.

(From June 2009) It must be the food that keeps locals and visitors waiting for tables season after season, because it’s not the location (obscure), the view (a busy intersection), or the decor (nondescript). There’s something suited to every taste on the menu and the often overwhelming list of blackboard specials. Mango gazpacho seasoned with a hint of onion and a lot of cilantro was a satisfying way to set the stage for the always noteworthy griddle-sautéed crab cake, a skewer of succulent shrimp accompanied by a rich Key lime aioli, and grilled mahimahi with lime and green-chile salsa. Beer & wine.

(From September 2009) Brad Lomax’s twin restaurants share a location, a menu, and a well-deserved reputation for excellent seafood. Whether you choose the lively Oyster Bar or the quieter Seafood Company, you can’t go wrong with the menu (we like the chicken vegetable caldo and the spicy creole shrimp) or the blackboard specials (like the superfresh catch of the day, cooked however you like it). These are two of the most popular venues in town, and with good reason. Bar.
