Fish City Grill | San Antonio, Texas

April 8, 2011 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Tammy came to visit on the 5th of March and we decided we wanted some crawfish. I was craving some good ole oyster nachos so we headed to Fish City Grill.

Oyster Nachos [tortilla chips with fried oysters, chipotle tartar sauce & topped with fresh pico de gallo]

Mmm … if you aren’t sure of what to get, you have to get these for sure! They are an explosion in your mouth. I get it almost every single time I’m here.

This is the bucket they gave us for our crawfish trash. It smelled really metally.

Three Pounds Crawfish

Here is my 3 lb Crawfish. So delicious! They spice it up really well.

Fish City Grill | San Antonio, Texas | Corn & Potato

They also give you sides of potatoes and corn but they weren’t seasoned well like the crawfish.

I love this place for oyster nachos. A must try!

Jane’s parents invited me and Roger to lunch when they came into town and we ended up at Pasha Mediterranean Grill. My new favourite Mediterranean place.

Naan | free

Light, fluffy, ginormous Naan … for free! So freaking good.

Pasha Mediterranean Grill | San Antonio, Texas | Naan Dip

Oil, Herbs, Garlic

Fireworks in your mouth when you dip the delicious Naan into this mixture.

Gyro Plate

Jane ordered for me since I didn’t know what to order. It came with beef and lamb, hummus, some kind of sauce, and a yummy salad on the side. So much food. So freaking good.

I love this place and would definitely come again. Just need to find someone to go with me. Who’s down?

Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen | San Antonio, Texas

For Jane’s birthday she wanted to eat crawfish so on March 4th, we ended up at Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen. There was a super long wait and after we got to our table, we were told they sold out of crawfish. Bummer!

Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen | San Antonio, Texas | Oysters

Texas Gulf Coast Oysters [on the half shell, dozen] | $9.95

The oysters were so itty-bitty. Not worth the amount I paid.

Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen | San Antonio, Texas | Fried Soft Shell Crab

Fried Soft Shell Crab [2 crabs served with french fries] | $17.95

I was also not a fan of the soft shell crabs. They were too soft to the point where everything was just soggy which made all the fries underneath soggy. I didn’t even eat a third of the fries. Wasted my money.

Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen | San Antonio, Texas | Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Garlic Mashed Potatoes | $3.55

Thank goodness I ordered the potatoes. I did have to add a lot of crawfish seasoning to it though.

I am starting to not want to go to Pappadeaux as much as I use to. Always a fail with them lately.

Lorenzo's Italian Restaurant | San Antonio, Texas

On February 23rd, Mercedes’ needed filming assistance for one of her class and afterward we decided to go to dinner at Lorenzo’s Italian Restaurant.

Lorenzo's Italian Restaurant | San Antonio, Texas |Garlic Bread

Garlic Bread | free

They kept refilling our garlic bread which was super fluffy and garlicky with a good crunch – first garlic bread I love. It was still good the next day!

Lorenzo's Italian Restaurant | San Antonio, Texas | Salad

Italian Salad | comes with main dish

Their salads seem to be very fresh. Or maybe I was just very hungry.

Lorenzo's Italian Restaurant | San Antonio, Texas | Clam Chowder

Clam Chowder | $3.99

They give you a good portion of clams and it was super creamy. It was one of the best chowders I’ve had forever.

Lorenzo's Italian Restaurant | San Antonio, Texas | Spaghetti with Meat Sauce and Meatball

Spaghetti with Meat Sauce with Meatball | ~$7

There was a lot of pasta and the meatball is the same as the meat in the sauce but since I had plenty of leftovers, I was fine with it.

The garlic bread is enough for me to come back.

Gigi's Cupcakes | San Antonio, Texas

Jenny and I wanted something sweet and decided on some Gigi’s Cupcakes.

Gigi's Cupcakes | San Antonio, Texas | Valentine Box

We decided on the 4 for $9.99 deal since it was Valentine’s month.

Gigi's Cupcakes | San Antonio, Texas | Wedding Cake Cupcake

Wedding Cake [white cake topped with a vanilla buttercream frosting & sprinkled with white nonpareils]

Gigi's Cupcakes | San Antonio, Texas | Texas Milk Chocolate Cupcake

Texas Milk Chocolate [milk chocolate cake topped with milk chocolate frosting, chocolate sprinkles & a yellow fondant star]

Gigi's Cupcakes | San Antonio, Texas | Peanut Butter Cup Cupcakes

Peanut Butter Cup [milk chocolate cake topped with peanut butter frosting & honey roasted peanuts drizzled with chocolate ganache]

Gigi's Cupcakes | San Antonio, Texas | Tiramisu Cupcake

Tiramisu [coffee & Kahlua flavored cake with cream cheese, topped with coffee & Kahlua flavored frosting, dutch cocoa & chocolate sprinkles]

Overall we disliked the fact they pile on so much frosting especially when their cakes themselves are super sweet. If you’re into sugar crashes, this is the place for you.

We were told the cupcakes can be kept up to three days but by our second day, it was already stale. We won’t be back.
