Hush Puppies, Carpaccio of Snapper and a Glass of Fine Wine
Residents love to visit The Monument Café, a local restaurant reminiscent of Texas roadside cafes in the 1920s to 1940s. American fare with only the freshest produce and natural meats and poultry make this a local foodie favorite. The menu varies weekly with the only regular item being the wildly popular Friday night seafood platter with fried catfish, citrus-glazed fresh salmon, fried shrimp, hush puppies, and sides. Next door, The Garden at the Monument is an authentic Texas Biergarten serving beer, wine, burgers and fries, where locals might hear jazz or western swing while they enjoy their meal.
The Hollow American Brasserie offers classical European techniques applied to new American Cuisine to create items that are at once familiar yet inventively conceived, intricately prepared, and artful. Sophisticated starters such as carpaccio of tuna and snapper, pickled green beans, potato crisps, heirloom tomatoes, roasted olives, and cured egg mimosa, dressed in tarragon dijon vinaigrette and finished with tomato salt are both exciting and extraordinarily delicious.
Roots Bistro is a popular hangout featuring sandwiches, pizzas, and an assortment of wine and microbrews on tap. Wildfire offers seafood and steaks cooked with care and presented with élan. The Georgetown Winery offers flights and tastings, as well as a gift shop well stocked with gifts to please most any wine aficionado.
