Dear Friends,I am writing this letter to let you know that after three years of labored restaurant love, Brian and I have decided to close our beautiful restaurant, Cafe Paladar. The bad economy and increased number of new restaurants in our area took its toll on us this year and after a long hard fight, it is now time to let it go. We are saddened but our spirit is not broken. We trust God and know He must have better plans for us in the future. I will return to flying full time with Southwest Airlines and Chef Brian will begin searching for an Executive Chef position here in San Antonio. We would like to continue catering for those of you who have any type of special occasion coming up; so please keep us in mind. Our Cafe Paladar website will continue to be online indefinately with information on how to get in touch with us. We would like to give all of you our sincerest gratitude for your support and friendship. We learned so much running this restaurant and had a blast doing so, but, the biggest blessing was meeting so many wonderful people. We are leaving with an abundance of great memories due to you. So many, that we can't imagine not opening another great restaurant again someday. We are truly Americans with an entrepreneurial spirit!! We love you, we'll miss you, and we hope to see again. Thank you and God bless.Sincerely,Chef Brian and Mary Esther WestOwners of Cafe Paladar
Although I haven't blogged about this restaurant, I've dined there a couple of times and enjoyed the experience. The food was varied and complex, although prices were a bit on the high side. I distinctly remember the tasty bacon wrapped dates being an excellent choice of tapa. I might have to swing by and grab a few more before the place shuts the doors for the last time.
If you want to give them a try before they kick the bucket, you can find the restaurant on the web at
18322 Sonterra Place
Suite 103 San Antonio, TX 78258
