La Fogata is a MUST....but its going to be a 15-20 minute drive. Bring a GPS with you, bc it is not necessarily easy to find. But the LOCALS keep this place packed and it is a big restaurant. Paloma Blanca is easy to get to - located on Broadway in Alamo Heights....about 8 minutes from Downtown....one night, my wife was getting take out from there and was standing beside Tommy Lee Jones as he picked up his...he lives about 5 minutes from there.
Don't get me wrong about the Riverwalk...it is very very pretty and does indeed have some decent places to eat but it is geared toward tourists. Pick a riverside sidewalk restaurant and eat a meal there, but Take the Time and drive to La Fogata....it is a local legend.
And if you are going to play only one round - just go ahead and play the Quarry....you will never forget it....the back nine is absolutely memorable....playing down inside the sheer walls of a deep rock quarry....expensive though....about $100....if you want cheaper, go to Pecan Valley and don't look back.
