Gonzales Bistro is an upscale restaurant that makes its home near the very heart of Independence square. We are the only restaurant by the square with prime & waygu aged steaks, fresh seafood, New England oysters.

We ate at Chama Guacha to celebrate my 39th Birthday. It was myself, my husband and 6 year old son. We were cheerfully greeted, had a 4pm reservation, and then taken to our table. We were completely blown away by the wait staff and hospitality. We don’t eat at upscale restaurants often, and it was so lovely. I was mind blown when our waitress came over and cut up my son’s meat for him! All of the cuts of meat were cooked to perfection, were tender and so so tasty. The sides were both interesting and delicious. We also had dessert that was beautiful and delectable. My son gave it five stars, and it is now his favorite restaurant!

La Cantera

About the restaurant

If you find yourself dreaming of the Texas Hill Country, savory comforts, spice, and the sultry depth of a fine Burgundy, you’ll be pleased to know about Signature at La Cantera Resort & Spa.

The menu is straightforward and beguiling, featuring contemporary interpretations of classic dishes — fresher, brighter versions of traditional cuisine enlivened with unconventional Texas spirit. Gulf seafood conspires with Atlantic Coast oysters flown in fresh, and the Hill Country is well-represented year-round. Local and organic ingredients change the menu as the seasons peak and wane, but the constants are quality, flavor, artistry in the kitchen and a warm welcome when you walk in the door.
