We turned there for more about Boudro's On the River Walk.

"Savor what many critics and locals proclaim the best food on the River, including our signature guacamole."

As to what the business is known for, "Boudro's embraces our regional heritage with a distinctive slant on Texas and Southwestern flavors," it states on Yelp in the section highlighting specialties. "Slip into the pace of San Antonio with one of our Prickly Pear Margaritas or a Texas Dry Beefeater martini while your server prepares fresh guacamole tableside. Sample any one of our seafood offerings fresh from the Texas Coast, such as our Chile-Seared Gulf Jumbo Shrimp, or opt for Blackened Prime Rib or Mesquite-Grilled Texas Quail."

If you're hungry for more, we found these details about Ruth's Chris Steak House.

"They Call Ruth's Chris founder Ruth Fertel, the First Lady of American restaurants," the business states in the bio section of its Yelp profile. "But before there were 150-plus locations serving 45,000 steaks a day, there was a fearless single mother of two who tore an ad from the local newspaper that read 'steak house for sale' and thought, 'I can do that'. The Ruth's Chris Steak House legacy began when Fertel mortgaged her home for $22,000 to purchase 'Chris Steak House, a 60-seat restaurant located in New Orleans."

4. Rebelle

Rebelle, a steakhouse and New American spot that offers seafood and more located downtown, is another pricey go-to, with four stars out of 256 Yelp reviews. Head over to 300 E. Travis St., inside the St. Anthony Hotel, to see for yourself. 

According to the business' website, owner Andrew Goodman "has transformed what was once a long ago neglected space into a dazzling dining room that’s equal parts old Hollywood glamour and new plush elegance."
