Owned by Andrew Weissman, I’ve been wanting to try this restaurant for a LONG time! I was not disappointed. After visiting the Pearl Farmers Market one Saturday morning, my daughter and I entered the pristine, modern restaurant. Although offered sidewalk seating, we opted for cool A/C.

Tasty Byte:  Watermark Grill

The second restaurant by Patrick Kennedy (see Brasserie Pavil) in San Antonio, with a repeat occurrence from Pavil chef Scott Cohen offers a beautiful setup, tasty food, and the freshest seafood.  I was invited to their VIP preview where we were offered all you can eat appetizers and all you can drink cocktails!  With a wide selection of both, this is a wonderful spot for a fun happy hour.

Tasty Byte:  Bin 555 Restaurant and Wine Bar

Another successful restaurant by Jason Dady and one of my favorites!  With a beautiful patio deck and modern inside dining, nestled among the Shops of Artisan Alley, Bin555 is a wonderful restaurant for linger over a romantic meal or celebrate with lots friends.  Not only is the atmosphere great but the food is a fun fusion of Mediterranean tapas…bring several friends like we did to share “one of everything”.  Enjoy pizza from their wood burning oven, decadent desserts, and savor the presentation of each dish!

Tasty Byte: Broadway 5050

I enjoyed trying Broadway 5050 with my sister for the first time last week.  Although our server was moving in a slow pace, it did not seem to be the theme among the rest of the staff at the Colonnade location.  Giving her a benefit of a doubt, we enjoyed the rest of meal in the diner/sports bar feeling restaurant.  The food was good, large portions, and all for a good price.  Although neither of us had tried it before, we’d probably go back with friends another time.  (I’d like to investigate their dart boards – would also be fun to take in a sporting event!)

Nestled in an HEB shopping center off Boerne Stage Rd, Yummi has become a neighborhood favorite quickly!  Fast service, nice takeout menus, fresh, tasty sushi and dishes make Yummi a great place to head after work, during lunch, or for a family dinner.  Although it’s never been to packed when I’ve visited, Yummi is a wonderful place to try sushi at a very reasonable price!
