One
of the most attractive and romantic
places to dine in San Antonio is the
Tower of Americas, which hosts the
prestigious restaurant, Eyes Over
Texas.
In its dreamlike setting, painted
with warm colors of the sunset, you
can experience a 360-degree view of
San Antonio, east to west and north
to south.
While waiting for the sun to set and
dark blue to color the sky, you can
sample selections from the extensive
wine list. Also, there are several
appetizer selections, both hot and
cold, ranging in price from $6-$15.
In the mood for a cold appetizer?
Try the Shellfish Martini or Seared
Peppered Ahi Tuna. If something hot
is more your style, the restaurant
offers Shrimp and Crab Fondue or Fried
Calamari.
After enjoying the view of the city,
which appears as a treasure chest
sparkling in front of your eyes, let
the soft beats of jazz help you make
your entrée decision. For such
a sophisticated restaurant, there
are not many choices. They offer mainly
seafood (Thai-Style Fried Flounder
and Gulf Fried Shrimp), three steak
options (Filet Mignon, N.Y. Strip
and Ribeye), fowl selections such
as Slow Roasted Half Chicken, pasta,
and salads. The entrees range from
$26-$40 per plate.
I have to say that I was not impressed
with the food. However, if romance and
a nice view are what you have in mind,
you won’t be disappointed.
