Supper — Menu Guide
Supper is chef John Brand's restaurant inside Hotel Emma — the landmark hotel built in San Antonio's 1894 Pearl brewery, in the Pearl district on the Museum Reach of the River Walk. It's the all-day anchor of the hotel: breakfast, lunch, weekend brunch, and a dinner service with a proper steak program, holding a 4.7 OpenTable rating across 3,462 reviews.

What we'd order
- The move: grilled oysters ($24 half-dozen) followed by the 16 oz ribeye ($68) — the Pearl-district steakhouse play.
- The adventurous plate: stuffed quail ($34) or the house-made head cheese ($20).
- The splurge: the osetra caviar kit ($95) to start.
- Brunch angle: weekend brunch runs Sat–Sun 10 AM–2:30 PM — a strong alternative to dinner.
