Dining

Supper: An American Eatery

An American Eatery - Coming together for good food at your favorite place… it’s an American tradition. At Supper, Chef Ned Elliot is straightforward and creative, guided by flavor, what’s in season, and what feels good at a table shared by friends. On the bank of the San Antonio River, Supper feels part farm table, part bistro table.

Larder

Tucked away in the old fermenting cellars, LARDER at Hotel Emma carries local groceries, fine provisions, wine, beer, baked goods, flowers, house-butchered meats and freshly-prepared foods to eat in or take out. It’s a South Texas food store with a soupçon of Euro-sophistication where hotel guests and locals alike can stock up on life’s culinary luxuries or simply enjoy a glass of wine in the Brewmeisters alley at the end of the day.

Sternewirth: Bar & Clubroom

Hospitality is the watchword at Sternewirth, Hotel Emma’s tavern and club room. A dramatic 25-foot vaulted ceiling soars over intimate groupings of sofas, easy chairs and banquettes arranged to encourage conversation, celebration and business deals. Enjoy a restorative cocktail, a notable wine or sturdy craft beer. Come for the city bar authenticity, classic cocktails made without gimmicks, and hearty small plates that satisfy your appetite for flavor and substance.
