After originally projecting a June opening, Gusto Group will debut <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seaspicerooftop.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Seaspice<\/a> on the fifth floor of 1900 Broadway\u2019s Jefferson Bank Building on September 4.<\/p>\n<p>The new bar and restaurant is the latest concept from the prolific team behind Toro Kitchen + Bar, Cuishe Cocina Mexicana, and Stylus Mixology. A few details have changed since Gusto first<a href=\"https:\/\/sanantonio.culturemap.com\/news\/restaurants-bars\/gusto-group-opening-sea-spice\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> filed<\/a> paperwork with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, but the overall vision \u2014 French Riviera decadence \u2014 has remained steadfast.<\/p>\n<p>The food menu jet sets through iconic coastal dishes like lobster rolls, salmon tartare, grilled octopus tacos, and cocteles, all supplemented by a raw bar serving oysters and seafood towers. Drinks include clarified cocktails and tableside martinis with splashy accouterments such as truffles and caviar olives. More roe is served with traditional fixings or as \u201cbumps.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For us, it always comes down to the experience,&#8221; said Gusto Group CEO Gerardo de Anda, via a previous release. &#8220;We pay attention to details \u2014 how the cocktails arrive, how the seafood is presented, the energy of the room.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The original renderings showed a brasserie-like space with marble counters, French wicker bistro chairs, and olive trees planted in oversized pots. It\u2019s unclear how closely the final decor followed the initial inspiration. Although Gusto has been previewing the space in a series of \u201ccoming soon\u201d videos, they have been composed mostly of construction stills and a shot of de Anda <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DcqqPoLE-Fd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">sprinting<\/a> past a Prussian blue mural depicting various sea life.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the final shape of the interior, Seaspice will join a wave of new and proposed concepts extending the immediate areas around Pearl into one of the city\u2019s most dynamic dining and nightlife districts.<\/p>\n<p>Gusto says Seaspice will serve brunch, lunch, and dinner Tuesday through Wednesday, noon-11 pm; Thursday through Saturday, noon-2 am; and Sunday, noon-9 pm. The weekday happy hour will run 4-7 pm.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"San Antonio may be far away from the aquamarine shores of the Mediterranean Sea, but that\u2019s not stopping&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1036997,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5133],"tags":[5229,3990,19607,12079,10084,24546,7202,7203,20958,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":["post-1036996","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-america","tag-bars","tag-broadway","tag-nightlife","tag-openings","tag-pearl","tag-san-antonio","tag-sanantonio","tag-seafood","tag-texas","tag-tx","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/117196239938503535","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1036996","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1036996"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1036996\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1036997"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1036996"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1036996"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1036996"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
