DINING
A Flight of Flavor
Where Artistry, Flavor and Taste Converge
Aleteo is an ode to coastal Mexico, where the tide inspires the table and every ingredient carries its own sense of place. Bright ceviches, intricate salsas, and soulful moles meet the heat of the hearth, for bold and delicately composed dishes.
Each plate is a conversation: citrus with chile, sea with flame, tradition with innovation. Aleteo creates an experience that lifts the senses and leaves a lasting impression.
Oak & Amber is a tribute to the elemental beauty of fire, where heat, smoke, and intention shape every plate into something extraordinary and wood-fired preparations anchor the menu.
In this warm, amber-lit space, this wood-fired craft becomes an art-form, each dish revealing pure, expressive flavor.
The Nectarie Cafe is a gentle awakening within The Monarch San Antonio, a whimsical daytime retreat where delicate pastries, artisan coffees, and light morning fare set the pace.
As the hours shift, the cafe softens into an intimate charcuterie hideaway, offering composed boards and savory bites rooted in ease, connection, and a touch of playfulness.
