SAN ANTONIO, TX (August 5, 2024) – Pullman Market, the largest culinary market in the Southwest, proudly announces its latest and final concept, Isidore, which will open on Tuesday, August 13, in San Antonio. Isidore tells the story of the rich bounty of Texas through an ever-changing menu that highlights the best of each season and closely reflects the culinary treasures within Pullman Market. The intimate decor and robust wine list make it the perfect space to celebrate. Isidore is joining the other sit-down restaurants at Pullman Market, including Mezquite, Fife & Farro, and dessert bar Nicosi, which are now open.
“Opening Isidore is the final piece of the puzzle for me,’ says Danny Parada, Corporate Chef of Emmer and Rye Hospitality. ‘The restaurant is purely Texan, allowing us to source more specialty products from local independent farmers, preserve the market's seasons, and utilize a variety of ingredients unique to the state. Even more exciting is the opportunity to open in the heart of one of Texas's oldest cities, San Antonio. With its rich history, cultural diversity, and booming culinary scene, we aim to bring a modern steakhouse vibe, providing guests with the chance to sample the abundance of quality products produced by Texas ranchers, farmers, and fishermen. From the raw bar section of the menu to shareable plates and large format steaks, Isidore's offerings will provide the community with a bit of Texas nostalgia with some exciting twists.”
Isidore will offer a vibrant and inviting dining experience with a diverse menu that includes raw bar items such as oysters, crudo, rillettes, and shrimp cocktail; small plates like beef tartare, roasted lion’s mane mushroom, and Mt Tam cheese ravioli; and mains featuring Wagyu New York strip and herb-smoked grouper, all crafted from seasonal local ingredients. Chef de Cuisine Ian Lanphear has a passion for foraging and farming that is evident in the food served at Isidore.
“Restaurants hold a special place in our hearts. Sometimes they are a place to meet our families, sometimes for a quick lunch, and in the case of Isidore, for an extraordinary celebratory experience that is one of a kind,” says Kevin Fink, Partner at Pullman Market.
Isidore's beverage program is as thoughtfully crafted as its food menu. The wine program, curated by Advanced Sommelier Ali Schmidt, showcases classic wines from around the world, with a special focus on the emerging Texas wine scene. Knowledgeable sommeliers are on hand to assist guests with selections, ranging from older Bordeaux vintages to up-and-coming Texas Hill Country producers. The bar program, led by Bar Director Houston Eaves, focuses on classic cocktails with modern interpretations. Featuring an excellent spirit selection that includes whiskeys from around the world, the bar pays meticulous attention to detail to ensure the finest drinking experience.
Isidore's elegant design is crafted by Burton Baldridge Architects and Rand Egbert, ensuring a welcoming and sophisticated ambiance.
Isidore is located within Pullman Market at 221 Newell Ave., San Antonio, TX 78215 and is open Tuesday through Sunday from 5 to 10pm. Reservations are required and are available on OpenTable. For more information, please visit isidoresatx.com or follow along on Instagram at @isidoresatx.
