Boudro's is a Texas bistro located on the Riverwalk with a menu focused on the area Southwest specialties. The menu ranges from seafood to Mexican to prime rib.
While reservations are preferred, they really didn't mean that much that night. We waited over an hour outside while they prepared our table. They at least could have offered a free appetizer or something. Once we were seated, the restaurant was loud and busy. It was difficult hearing what the person sitting next to you was saying. The decor was pleasing, a mixture of woods and deep colors. We were seated near the large window in the front of the dining room which was very nice. I love to people watch so the window was a nice plus.
Our group decided to start with a few appetizers. We chose the Guacomole, the smoked chicken quesadillas, and the seacakes. I enjoyed the quesadillas and the seacakes but the guacomole was not the typical guacomole. It is made with roasted tomatoes and basil. Don't get me wrong it was good, but a disappointment to someone who loves Mexican food. Most of our group chose the Prickly Pear Margarita, it is supposed to be the best drink there. I have to admit, it was fabulous. I didn't know what to think about a drink made from catus, but it was sweet with a touch of sour. Wonderful.
For our dinner, I chose the Seafood Platter. It was a sampler of lobster, shrimp and fish in different sauces. I am not someone who likes spicy food so the entree not entirely to my liking. I did however enjoy the salmon spring roll and the lobster tail. My husband had the Prime Rib. He stated that he felt for the price we were paying, the Prime Rib was definitely not worth it. We did not get dessert.
Overall, I felt Boudro's was overpriced and overstated. I will say that the service was wonderful. I'm not sure that we will visit this restaurant again.
