Fodor's Expert Review Cabernet Grill

If you want a Texas-size meal in the heart of the Hill Country, the Cabernet Grill has just what you're looking for. Chef-owner Ross Burtwell uses a smattering of local ingredients to inspire a menu that reflects the bold flavors of the Lone Star State. Menu items range from Black Diamond buffalo enchiladas with green chili crema to sesame-seared Gulf red snapper with ginger-basil vinaigrette. The grilled jalapeño-stuffed quail is a fan favorite, as are the myriad special dinners with wine pairings that Burtwell hosts throughout the year. It should also be noted that this is the only restaurant in the state devoted exclusively to an all-Texas wine menu, giving diners a chance to truly taste Texas terroir.
