Christmas Lunch in San Antonio
 

Need a recommendation for Christmas day. Will most likely stay at one of the Marriotts<BR>or the Hyatt on the Riverwalk. I am guessing that there will be a buffet type offering at one of the big hotels. Will have a family of 5 and would like a special meal. Something to<BR>appeal to all tastes but above average offerings. Is there a place you locals would recommend? It dosen't have to be buffet but I am thinking that most restaurants will be closed. Thank you.

NO WAY will restaurants on the Riverwalk on Christmas day be closed.<BR>They live off the tourists!!! You will be lucky if you can get a reservation.

O.K. If most restaurants will be open and we have a car, please make a suggestion for lunch. Something special &lt;$50 per person. Will have 3 teens to feed. For this meal prefer something<BR>traditional, not Tex-Mex or Asian/Fusion. Thanks.

I live in San Antonio & last year we had Christimas lunch at the Hyatt Hill Country. I think it was about $35 per person, and it was great. Several different food stations and a hugh selection of deserts. Plus live music.<BR>You definately need to make advance reservations.

You have some good choices right in the downtown area. The St. Anthony hotel has a terrific holiday brunch buffet with a broad enough array of food that all should be satisfied. La Mansion del Rio (my favorite) has a champagne buffet brunch in their Las Canarias restaurant that is excellent. The Hyatt usually has a brunch, too, and it is generally OK, but the other two are a cut (or two) above. <BR>Feliz navidad, y'all!

Gracias, ya'll. I will start checking on reservations.
