Cured - San Antonio

I’ve been fortunate to have been able to come here many times over the years but now I can recount why I hadn’t been here for a few years. My family is very into the food scene of San Antonio and always has been, and I remember the first time my family went because it was without me. They brought me just a little bit of leftover Pork Cheek Poutine and I knew I needed to go with them next time. From then on it was almost a staple for our family. Birthdays and anniversaries and graduations were all celebrated with some delicious charcuterie and wonderful drinks. But over the years the portions went up in price and down in size, which I understand and don’t particularly care about, but the greatest grievance Comes down to the drop in quality as well. Cured went from a restaurant where charcuterie was beautifully and masterfully plated with intention. To a place where you get poorly paired jams and mustard slopped onto a plate with chicken liver mousse and I cannot hear my partner talking to me from 2 feet away because “the chef likes the music like this” (blaring). The ambiance is gone. Quality is gone. Service is excellent despite everything. But this most recent experience was the death knell for what has effectively been a decade at Cured.

Good food, great service and loved the ambience. Never disappoints.

Went for Sunday dinner.. fried chicken was delicious

Our service was amazing. Food was great. It was our first time eating at Cured but will not be our last!

Came for our 10th anniversary dinner. Charcuterie board is a must. We were surprised how well everything tasted together. The board is pretty big. My wife and I shared it and a meal. The drinks were tasty as well. Would come back
