Fodor's Expert Review Boudro's

This River Walk landmark serves a great variety of steaks and seafood. A little bit Gulf Coast, a little bit Mexican, and a whole lotta Texan, their something-for-everybody menu caters to almost every palette exceptionally well. Fresh fish is the star of the menu—much of it caught from the Texas Gulf—with favorites like blackened gulf-fish fillet, coconut shrimp, and blue-crab tostada. Steak lovers have their pick of grilled prime rib, center-cut strip sirloin, black Angus cuts, and Texas filet of sirloin. Table-side guacamole service mixes fresh avocado, roasted tomato, onions, serrano pepper, cilantro, and fresh orange and lime juices. The main dining room is almost cavelike and provides several nooks for conversation and romance, but the patio on the river is where you want to be when the weather's nice. Dinner on a river barge is a special treat.
