| - Run, don't walk, to San Antonio Seafood Market & Oyster Bar! Five of us traveled from the US...two from New Jersey, two from Dallas and one from San Antonio to visit friends in Woodbridge. Searching "Seafood" on Yelp for lunch this afternoon, we came across this truly fabulous restaurant. (Given that our friend from San Antonio was the one who suggested seafood, we knew this was the place for us.)
Both the service and the food were exceptional! We were seated and welcomed by the owners' three grandsons. Their Mother took our order. The Chef came to our table to inform us of the off-menu specials and then returned with a bouche amuse of tiny, fried sardines sprinkled with vinegar. Not only did we engage in a lively conversation with the owners; but, with neighbors from an adjoining business, as well.
The food...awe, the food was incredibly delicious! Caponata, grilled calamari, fish & chips, salmon with vegetables and shrimp fettuccine rosa -- made with local, handcrafted pasta -- were so well balanced and served promptly. Although we cleaned our plates, we couldn't pass up the two desserts specially prepared and served by the Chef himself -- deconstructed cannoli and affogato. The "cherry on top" were the perfectly constructed cappuccinos.
