San Antonio\u2019s Monarch Hotel will flight this spring, bringing four new food and beverage concepts to downtown. The property, scheduled for a March opening, is part of the Curio Collection by Hilton. <\/p>\n

The restaurants and bars at The Monarch, 222 S. Alamo St., will be led by executive chef Jae H. Lee \u2014 a newcomer to San Antonio but no rookie when it comes to culinary expertise, according to details shared this week by Hilton. Lee\u2019s pedigree ranges includes the Michelin-starred restaurant Daniel in New York City, the dining room at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Little Park, the Austin Proper Hotel and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lobby-level Oak & Amber will serve as the hotel\u2019s signature restaurant and feature outsize Texas influences, including a mesquite-and-oak hearth, along with an elevated dinner experience. Menu highlights include a prime rib trolley featuring a 28-day dry-aged Texas beef ribeye, carved tableside and finished with Cabernet jus and horseradish, along with lobster Thermidor with b\u00e9chamel, mustard and Gruy\u00e8re. The upscale dining spot also will feature a raw bar with East Coast oysters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Aleteo, the Monarch\u2019s rooftop restaurant and bar, will spin in an entirely different global direction, offering a menu based in Yucat\u00e1n-inspired cuisine. Guests can enjoy more than half-a-dozen house-made salsas, beef-rib mole, octopus maya with bone marrow, aguachiles and ceviches, suckling pig lechon asado and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The last two concepts, the Nectarie Cafe and the lobby bar, will keep things more stripped down. Nectarie, a French-inspired bistro, will focus on a global array of pastries and bites such as Chicken Paillard \u00e0 la Fran\u00e7aise with lemon caper sauce, while the lobby bar\u2019s delights will including a caviar happy hour.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Monarch Hotel San Antonio is owned by Zachry Hospitality.<\/p>\n
