Signature

Wonderful. Delicious food and beautiful atmosphere. Had no reservations and got there around 9:15 and the host and manager were super nice about it. Our server was also very friendly and knowledgeable, same with the young man that delivers and explained the food to the table. If you’re looking for a place to celebrate your birthday or to make it special, here it is.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here not long ago and it was an absolute treat. Tayton's service was wonderful, we were treated wonderfully the entire visit. He was able to provide great recommendations and take care of any request we had. The menu and pictures of the food don't do them justice. The meal was wonderful, we enjoyed every bit of it, our only complaint is that it had to end. Definitely worth a visit, we can't wait to come back.

This is certainly the best restaurant in San Antonio that my wife and I have tried over the many years of our visiting this city from Houston. The menu changes seasonally so this review on the food may not be applicable in the future. My entree was the redfish with tomatillo sauce... superb! The fish was perfectly cooked and super fresh, and the salsa verde complimented it perfectly. The service and atmosphere were impeccable. Wow! This restaurant is not cheap, the quality and value are certainly there.

Exceptional dining experience. This was our first visit at John Carpenter’s Signature restaurant La Canterra, San Antonio. We celebrated my wife’s birthday with a wonderful tasting menu crafted to delight the senses. Each serving was better than the prior. Server Grace took extraordinary care of us. I left 2 gift bags with Grace to present during our meal as a surprise for my wife. Grace cleverly at our surprise brought one bag at the beginning of meal and the second at the end of. Stupendous job Grace. Thank you!!!

I'm a born-and-raised San Antonio foodie, and I have to say this is the BEST culinary and dining experience I've had in our city, ever. The food is unmatched in quality, flavor, creativity, and aesthetic appeal. Absolutely gorgeous and out-of-this-world selections on the dinner menu. The service (thank you, Albanny!) is also 5-star. My recent birthday dinner here made me feel like the luckiest lady in the world. My husband and I will absolutely be back! I HIGHLY recommend for any special occasion, date night, or just a solo dinner for anyone looking for a superb meal.

I’ve only ever been for brunch, but it’s the best brunch I’ve ever had. They greet you with a water infusion platter with your choice of multiple types of citrus, mint, cucumber, or any combination. Splenda comes in a cute separate bowl rather than in packets for elevating their tasty lattes. But it’s the foie gras pain perdu which is the best breakfast I’ve ever had. They don’t skimp on the foie gras either-it’s more than some entirely foie gras dishes. Worth every penny and then some. The staff is wonderful, the atmosphere beautiful, and the food - sooooo good.

Beautiful place from the outside to the inside. Came here for a date and we had such a great lovely time. Love how the lighting is inside. Great service, will be coming again!

July 4th weekend: This was our first visit to Signature for my birthday weekend at La Cantera Resort. We read many of the reviews and this was the most excited we have been in a while to try. Staying at the resort we were shuttled by golf cart to the restaurant which is adjacent to the property to a late 9:30PM dinner appointment. As soon as you enter the restaurant the hostess greets you with expectancy. A round table was beautifully prepared awaiting my family and I. As you walk through the restaurant in its dark and amber light environment, the mood completely shifts to a romantic mood. I highly recommend a date night here. For our first course we ordered the white sturgeon Russian caviar with all of the topping options which included poached quail eggs, sautéed finely diced sweet onion, chives, cremá, raw red finely diced onions and capers. Served with a lightly toasted sliced buttered bread. As you layer the toppings and the caviar on the bread, the presentation was quite pleasant, once you bite into it all of the flavors mixed well and the caviar popped in your mouth creating a delicious yet light experience. I do recommend the caviar and would have it again. I opted for Chef John’s Tasting menu, and began with the summer truffle risotto. This small and light dish was the perfect entry to the restaurants pairing menu, I thoroughly enjoy allowing the chef to select my menu. The risotto was buttery and Parmesan truffle together with the aioli paired well. The flavors burst in your mouth and before you know it the petite dish was completely consumed in about 4-5 spoonfuls. For the main course I had the prime beef tenderloin prepared medium rare. I’m a big steak and beef fan, and this was the most exciting part of the meal for myself. As I bit into the beef that was pre-sliced, it was warm and succulent and melted in my mouth. With every bite, the flavors of garlic and onion completely filled my palette. I would recommend this particular chef’s pairing. As they change their menu monthly, I’m not sure how often it is available or rotated. The for the final course we ordered the chocolate caramel with sea salt cake. I’m not big on sweets but we ordered it based on our waiter’s recommendation. As I tasted the cake, it was extremely light and fluffy, it was not rich at all, and not overly sweet, the sea salt balanced out the light caramel drizzle. Overall I had to give Signature a 5 star all around experience, specifically also our waiter was one of the most friendly and knowledgeable and attentive that we’ve had in a while for a fine dining experience. We were the last ones to leave the restaurant and the waiter himself escorted us by golf cart back to the resort. He didn’t have to do that, but he did and we greatly appreciated it. We definitely will be back to Signature and look forward to a new chef’s tasting menu.
