I always thought it was very cool, pretty much the only cool thing in Victoria.

I'm in San Antonio a lot for work, but not R&R.  I'm thinking about taking my wife to San Antonio for a weekend in January to celebrate her birthday.  Where's the best place to camp out for a couple days, with restaurants and bars in walking distance?  The Pearl?  Downtown?  La Cantera?  

Sorry if this topic is covered earlier in the thread, but too lazy to scroll through the last 50 pages.

I figured, but thought I'd ask, since I didn't want to assume anything about The Pearl on the chance it was Domain-ish.  Will book at Hotel Emma.  What's good to eat around there?

Prickly Pear Marg from Southerleigh with some snapper throats will change your life.

In the actual Pearl: Mon Chou Chou is probably my favorite, Southerleigh and Cured are also good. Not as big of a fan of Supper in the Hotel Emma, but it's fine. I don't think the food is great at La Gloria, but it's a nice patio for a margarita by the river if the weather is good. Curry Boys BBQ on St. Mary's Street is walkable (~15 minutes). It's not upscale but the food is fantastic and original.

Thanks, guys.  I know it's her birthday and special weekend, but really I'm just trying to optimize my chances of getting laid, so appreciate the recommendations.

Supper fucking sucked when we went. Mon Chou Chou is great.

There's a Velvet Taco around the corner. It's kind of like Torchys.

Our preference is South Town so we stay at The Inn on the Riverwalk. It’s a bed and breakfast establishment. Rosario’s, Mixtli, and The Maverick are an easy walk. If you are comfortable walking in that area, there is Bliss, Hands Down, and Casa Hernan. Lots of other new bars in King William.
