Established on the picturesque Scenic Loop Road, just northwest of San Antonio--in 1929--The Grey Moss Inn Restaurant offers fine dining and has served qualitysteaks, seafood, lamb and chicken in an exceptionally romantic setting for more than 80 years.
The restaurant and patio are built under a canopy of huge Texas Oaks that beckons you to enjoy the night. Tables are candlelit and the native rock walls and pine-wood floor "creaks" of romance. The adjacent meadow home of the historic Treaty Tree abounds with deer most evenings. Owner Lou Baeten, together with our knowledgable staff, has maintained many of the traditional dishes while adding new "favorites" --such as the buttermilk-marinated fried Texas Oysters and the chorizo-stuffed Bandera Quail. Organic herbs from our garden are used whenever possible. The kitchen is lead by head chef Lionel Blache and his innovative Southern US style cuisine.
Most menu items are grilled over mesquite charcoal on our outdoor circular-stone grill. This captures your attention when you enter our patio. Patio dining is available --weather permitting-- while winter dining is available near one of our indoor dining room fireplaces.
