After two decades of white-tablecloth dinners along the Cibolo, Boerne mainstay The Creek Restaurant is getting ready to turn out the lights. The creekside fine-dining favorite confirmed it will serve its last meals next Saturday (March 14), capping a 20-year run that made it a go-to for birthdays, anniversaries and low-key Hill Country celebrations. Regulars have been stunned, and staff and owners are urging longtime guests to come in for one more meal and a final toast, as reported by MySA.
"Today we close a very meaningful chapter," the restaurant wrote in a March 4 Instagram post, according to MySA. The message invited diners to join them for a last visit and framed the closing as the natural end of the restaurant’s life cycle rather than an abrupt shutdown.
Creekside Setting and Address
The Creek operates at 119 Staffel Street, where a deck looks out over Cibolo Creek. The tucked-away setting and private-event spaces helped turn the spot into a Hill Country fixture for special-occasion dining over the years, according to the The Creek Restaurant website.
Menu, Chef and the Historic Building
Opened in 2006, The Creek built its reputation on steaks and seafood, with regulars flocking for dishes like trout almondine, shrimp Tampico and crispy crab cakes. The restaurant occupies what CultureMap San Antonio described as a roughly 200-year-old Victorian wood-framed building, adding a dose of historic Hill Country charm to the menu.
Chef Jean Tardif took over operations in late 2024 and made modest tweaks to the offerings while keeping the focus on celebratory, special-occasion meals, CultureMap San Antonio reported.
Another Shake-Up on the Hill Country Mile
The Creek’s closing comes on the heels of another big change for Boerne diners: the November 2025 wind-down of Peggy’s on the Green and that restaurant’s conversion into a Kendall Inn concept. The back-to-back exits have some locals wondering whether the town’s fine-dining lineup is starting to thin out, MySA noted.
The Creek has not responded to requests for comment on why it is closing, according to MySA.
For anyone hoping to say a proper goodbye, there is about a week left to snag a reservation. The The Creek Restaurant website lists contact details and hours for booking. Once the last service wraps, Boerne’s food crowd will be watching to see what, if anything, can fill such a long-familiar spot on the creek.
